Slack is a popular channel-based messaging platform that improves business communication and collaboration. This cloud-based solution offers enterprise-grade security and scalability, along with many innovative features that make it easier to have quality work conversations.
The core functionality of Slack revolves around chat rooms where users send messages and files. You can organize these rooms by topics, teams, projects, office locations, and other categories to keep the discussions highly relevant to that work. Users can also directly message each other. In addition to text messages, voice, screen sharing, and video chats are also supported.
You have a lot of flexibility in working with Slack. Your channels can be open to everyone in the organization, available for users outside of your organization, or made private for a subset of employees. A robust search function simplifies the process of looking up information, so it’s readily available. There is also an option of free-to-use and paid plans.
Slack workspaces create a central repository for work-related information, whether that’s being shared in messages, file attachments, links, or other formats. Slack performance monitoring allows you to see how your organization is utilizing this platform, whether it’s having issues, and ways to optimize it for your specific use cases.
One of Slack’s strengths is its integration support with many software types, allowing you to perform your work without leaving the workspace. For example, when you connect MetricFire and Slack, you can send immediate notifications to a specific channel so the right staff members see it. Since the alerts show up in a centralized communications tool being used for other daily work activities, they get noticed and acted on faster.
OpsGenie is an incident management system that helps teams engage the right people to manage and resolve an incident in the shortest possible time.
OpsGenie is designed to streamline those crucial incident monitoring processes by alerting the right people on your team to take action and address an issue as soon as possible through its on-call management and escalation features. It comes with highly customizable features and sophisticated tools, all designed to work with different DevOps workflows.
Unlike regular incident monitoring platforms, OpsGenie intuitively forecasts potential issues based on aggregated metrics. This tool also automatically determines the people or teams best equipped to resolve the issues detected through proper action mapping.
You can optimize your team's collaboration and communication channels by integrating OpsGenie with over 200 ticketing, monitoring, and chat tools, including Slack, Jira, and Amazon CloudWatch. Plus, common and repetitive actions can be quickly executed by using OpsGenie actions. For example, in response to an alert, OpsGenie can start an Amazon EC2 instance.
Being a service-aware incident management platform, OpsGenie also proactively alerts stakeholders about any service disruptions or outages. With its ability to identify, manage and categorize critical incidents promptly, OpsGenie is a favorite incident management system for businesses with always-on services. OpsGenie tracks everything related to alerts and incidents, allowing you to monitor your team's performance in acknowledging and resolving incidents.
Integrating your OpsGenie platform with your MetricFire platform is a great way to ensure that any incidents identified by MetricFire are actioned by the right person in your DevOps team as soon as possible.
All you do is create an OpsGenie channel in your MetricFire alerts panel. Then, as MetricFire aggregates and monitors metrics from all your computer systems, you'll feel confident that any incidents will be quickly addressed and fixed by the right people in your DevOps team.
