The powerful API allows custom integrations, though initial rota setup can be complex. Support is excellent.
Sr. Developer at a media company with 10,001+ employees4.5xMatters drastically reduced our incident response time from 30+ minutes to five, leveraging versatile rotas and stable integrations. While reporting needs improvement, I highly recommend this scalable solution for its strong ROI and excellent support.
Manager - Situational Awareness Engineering at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees4.5I highly value xMatters for streamlining incident management, significantly reducing MTTD/MTTR, and automating notifications.

Intermediate Infrastructure Software Administrator at Gordon Food Service4.5I find xMatters invaluable for real-time alerts, incident escalation, and auditability, greatly reducing downtime.

Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees3.5I've used xMatters for years, valuing its on-call rotations and quick incident response for large teams. While it integrates well and streamlines communication, the lack of a simple backup and restoration feature within the GUI is a significant drawback.
Platform Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0We rely on xMatters for IT alerting and major incident communication, valuing its flexible notification options, strong integrations, and intuitive on-call scheduling. While initial throughput costs were higher than anticipated, it's very stable and has significantly improved our response times.
Software QA Analyst at ViaSat3.5I primarily use this solution for on-call scheduling, finding its flexible shift creation and Slack integration boost efficiency and response times. Its intuitiveness is valuable, but I wish I could view past schedules.
Business Applications Analyst at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I find xMatters excellent for automated system alerting, critical integrations, and incident reduction. It's stable, scalable, and has exceptional customer service. My only minor concern involves UI inconsistencies, as I wish for more consolidated reporting views across functionalities.
