Experience Incident Response with Observability (SaaS)
Incident Response is now SolarWinds Incident Response. We are undergoing a phased re-branding activity. In the mean time, you might notice both names in use across multiple places.
Incident Response Trial & Integration Overview
This feature enables existing SWO SaaS users to seamlessly provision, explore, and integrate a 30-day Enterprise Plan trial of the Incident Response (IR) platform directly from their current ecosystem.
Trial Activation & Provisioning
The activation process is designed to be frictionless, requiring minimal manual input.
-
Visibility: A call-to-action (CTA) labeled "Try Incident Response" will be visible at the bottom of the left navigation bar for all account users and viewers.
-
Eligibility: Only Admins or Account Owners have the permission to trigger the activation.
-
Automated Provisioning: Clicking the button initiates an automated, single-click trial provisioning almost instantly.
-
Redirection: Upon success, the user is automatically logged into the IR platform, pre-populated with basic entities for immediate context.
Onboarding & User Experience (FTUE)
To ensure quick value realisation, new trial users follow a guided First-Time User Experience (FTUE).
-
Identity Verification: Users can start by adding and verifying their phone number via OTP to secure the account and enable alerting via SMS and voice calls.
-
Guided Tours: Context-aware walkthroughs are triggered on each page the user visits, explaining key features and workflows at a high-level.
-
Enterprise Access: The trial defaults to the Enterprise Plan, granting unlimited access to all features for 30 days.
-
Customer Success: Our teams will provide high-touch support throughout the trial duration.
