Hookdeck Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

I do a lot of integrations. It seems like half my job is sending test data, checking if the system worked, fixing it, and then sending the same test data again. Hookdeck makes that SUPER simple. That's especially true when the "source" of the data is something complex, like a Jotform form or a Shopify transaction or a webhook event that isn't fired frequently. Hookdeck also lets me "fork" my events, so that I can have real events go to the production version and a new development version at the same time. When it's time to cut over, I only need to change hookdeck - no need to touch the event sources. P.S. I often use hookdeck in conjunction with Postman, and clients think I'm a wizard.

Only thing I'd add is an ability to edit the event information before resending. Sometimes I want to test slight variations in the scenario, and the way hookdeck is currently built I have to simulate a new event to get those variations. I can usually accompish that with Postman so it's not a show stopper, but it'd be nice to have an edit/retry option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy navigation and the simple steps to create connections to capture crucial events are some of the best features of Hookdeck. The ability to create and switch multiple connections at ease is what "hooks" me with Hookdeck. I use this software very often and integrate many of my apps because of its easy integration. Also, the customer support is top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing significant so far, it's just very rarely you need to refresh the page to see the latest settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've managed queues and buses for years now, and I know how much work goes into re-inventing the same tooling every single time. They are hard to log, to monitor, set up, observe and debug. With Hookdeck I manage to set up series of queues in a very easy workflow, which makes me choose to use queues much more often. Previously I would always ask "do I really need a queue for this" now I just set up queues whenever i feel like it - in fron tof webhooks, async apis, microservice LBs etc. All my new projects are running on Hookdeck now and we've entirely replaced all RabbitMQ and EventBridge instances. Hookdeck has also developed a vibrant Slack community where we get support from the lead technical stakeholders, which means a world to me, as this is very much about having trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it is a new paradigm, it took me a while to convice other stakeholders that we can trust it, especially the super engineery types who never worked with queues and are hungry for needless complexity. It also took some trial and error to figure out if we need hookdeck in development. Finally I'm not too happy with the state of dev/staging/prod environment support, even though things seem to be getting much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The whole idea is great. I mainly use make.com to create webhook URLs and their log view is very limited. I use hookdeck so that I will be able to see logs and to solve issues I may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it wasn't very intuitive to me, and I had to search a bit and see videos on how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it was quick and easy to get started, and it met the needs of my simple task in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i assume that hookdeck can handle a lot of more complicated tasks than my own. there were many setup configurations that i had to navigate that didnt apply to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am currently using Hookdeck to test webhooks for developing our company's API. it was so easy and had support for a ton of authentication methods. I tried several other tools and honestly was blown away by what Hookdeck offers! I'm loving it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me a minute to understand the interface. Wasn't that complicated, but as I tend to do, I jumped in without reading or learning anywhere. Didn't take long and I got the hang of it. Super Powerful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't know how to program, but even so, I managed to configure the system to my needs. I am getting a lot of benefit from it, as it optimizes the input in other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some things, it is still necessary to use code, however, the internal AI itself can often solve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work with IoT, which means connecting devices with different APIs depending on the technology, protocol, and communication layers. Hookdeck always ensures data delivery and greatly facilitates the monitoring of our platform's stability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like it to have a way to configure a /dev/null destination, something that allows me to just see what is coming in without forwarding it anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used it in multiple projects while setting webhook endpoints for different integrations. I have tried other tools but always come back to Hookdeck, it makes it super easy to develop webhook endpoints while working locally, has all the tools that I ever needed (and more), enabling me to iterate fast and debug without effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has so many options that sometimes it is easy to get lost in their dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really solves a pain we had, that we could potentially miss webhooks during a short dowtime.

Also the UI is neat and comprehensible. It's easy to visualise and retry failed events manually. I barely go to the dashboard goes it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honnestly, nothing so far, we are happy with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
