Rootly has positively impacted my organization by saving time with manually adding timelines, as they are already built in when timelines are added in Slack through integration.

Rootly has positively impacted our organization because, in comparison to ObsGenie, the tool we used before Rootly, it is much more user-friendly, including the user interface and the whole approach to alerting and routing these alerts.

The integration process could be easier, perhaps with the addition of AI to facilitate smoother integrations with other applications, especially since those who manage integrations often need technical knowledge about web services and single sign-on processes, which can be challenging for non-technical users.

Regarding Rootly's AI capabilities, we had one incident when we lost alerting generally because Rootly crashed, and we did not like it.
