I probably would have stayed with it for years but they wanted to raise the price by 25%
The product works well, and I probably would have stayed with it for years. However, after the first year, they wanted to raise the price by 25%, but offered a three-year deal that only raised the price 15%! You can't afford to do business with them. There are other options.

We like the ability to integrate geolocation data from our HR system that tells us where teammates work or live
We like the ability to integrate geolocation data from our HR system that tells us where teammates work or live. That information helps us calibrate the notification. If we know a storm or a tornado will hit a specific area, we can look at the map view within Everbridge. The feature is called the Universe View, and it's a section of the tool that lets us notify those folks based on the location data we have for them. If you have a hurricane on the coast, you can chart its path on the map using the weather overlay tool. Then, you can select the impacted teammates on the screen. From there, you can create a notification that targets those specific teammates. It's critical to ensure your notifications are tailored to those affected by a particular event. You don't want to send it to everybody in the state or at one location. The notifications should be restricted to those who are impacted. The templates are also helpful. If you've got a scenario where you need to communicate quickly, you can create a new notification and type what you want to send out to the impacted individuals. It's better to think about that before an event takes place. That's where templates come in. You can save templates in a list and customize those as needed. There are always variables. Some variables change in every situation. The tool asks a few quick questions, and you can quickly draft a notification based on what's already pre-built within the product. You don't need to scramble to type out a lengthy message and accidentally write something that might expose you to legal liability. We want to ensure each message has been thought out and approved by management instead of doing it in the heat of the moment. We can ingest data from our HR system into Everbridge, like employees' names, departments, and contact information. For example, we can send notifications based on job titles and pay statuses. We might need to send messages to all non-salaried positions, supervisors, etc. If we collect that data on our side, we can send it to Everbridge, allowing us to tailor the notification based on essential demographic information or additional values in those data fields. For instance, I can send a message targeted to everyone in Nashville who is a manager and has a specific job title.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dell AlertFind is a fantastic tool for operations and command centers."
"AlertFind was fairly intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to text all our staff and categorize by specific fields, such as department or position, are valuable features. We can gear messages to specific people or target a particular office, such as the New York office or Washington DC office only. We can target specific departments, such as corporate or litigation, which is very useful for us. Once, we had an active shooter near our Washington, DC, office, and we could send out a message to all the staff in that office. On another occasion, there was a Long Island railroad strike so we could contact all our staff who lived there."
"We like the ability to integrate geolocation data from our HR system that tells us where teammates work or live. That information helps us calibrate the notification. If we know a storm or a tornado will hit a specific area, we can look at the map view within Everbridge. The feature is called the Universe View, and it's a section of the tool that lets us notify those folks based on the location data we have for them."
"If the health system I work for did not utilize this, it would risk not getting critical alerts out to the right people ASAP."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to set up templates for similar events, which helps streamline and makes it faster to get the message out, especially during a crisis."
"It will call and leave me a message, letting me know what's going on... That capability is valuable because people now tend to keep their phones with them, more so than anything else. They're more prone to listen to or see an alert coming through their telephone rather than via email."
"Everbridge is a dynamic tool that integrates well with our other systems. We can trigger messages from one platform to multiple places. The messages are sent to campus TVs and our website. We've been able to connect it through a lot of different options."
"The reporting we have is very intuitive and provides good insight into the results when we send out a mass notification."
"SAME and polygonal geographic targeting allow for localized mass notification which reduces communication volume."
 

Cons

"Out of the box integrations to common NoC tools including ticketing systems, Change Control and Analyst logging."
"The product works well, and I probably would have stayed with it for years. However, after the first year, they wanted to raise the price by 25%, but offered a three-year deal that only raised the price 15%!"
"Everbridge has a huge amount of documentation, which is great. I think they've done a wonderful job on that. However, it can be difficult to sort through all of that to find what you need."
"Some things did not get to people in a timely manner."
"Regarding improvement, it could be clearer around selecting groups of users to notify; it could be more intuitive to pick who we want to send messages to."
"I've been working with them literally for years to get certain things resolved, and there are always issues and problems. One of the issues that we've been dealing with recently and for some time now is that some people don't get the message. It goes out to 27,000 people, and afterward, I hear from people that they did not get the message, or their phone didn't ring, and it didn't go to voicemail. Nothing happened, and they were just dropped. This seems to be an ongoing issue."
"The product is lacking in the area of language support."
"You can manage the structure of the groups in two different ways, and I'd like to see some consolidation. They have something called "groups" and another called "rules." You can achieve your objective with either, but it's somewhat redundant."
"The way Everbridge has set up permissions is somewhat tricky. Administrator-level permissions could be more intuitive. It could be easier to give people the specific permissions you want them to have."
"One place where Everbridge can be improved is its language libraries. It is weak on languages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Considering what the product offers, the price is fairly reasonable."
"We changed plans halfway through our engagement with Everbridge. It was one of those things where I liked the original license agreement a little better, but I understand the model they went to. They shifted to a consumption-based model, which isn't ideal. It has limited my use of the platform to some degree, but I get it. I understand where they're coming from."
"Everbridge is a little pricey for what it offers. It's a bit overpriced from that standpoint. I'm aware of another company called AlertMedia that has a little more competitive pricing than Everbridge."
"The product's pricing is the most competitive of the three solutions we evaluated. One feature we have yet to use is the keyword opt-in functionality, which Everbridge included in the price. In contrast, Rave Alert wanted to charge us extra."
"We recently renewed our contract, and the pricing is on the higher end. We have a yearly license with a three-year commitment, which seems standard, so we have no issues with that."
"The product is fairly priced."
