Lightweight and efficient solution
It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Emergency alerts have protected employees and are improving leadership response during crises
I do not believe there is much improvement that can be made; Everbridge is the best in my opinion, as they constantly seek client feedback through account managers, working groups, and a community portal for clients to share lessons learned, ask questions, and provide feedback, enabling rapid and real-time responses to client inquiries and challenges.My wish-list feature for Everbridge Mass Notification is to have one mobile app for all Everbridge members, where both recipients of messages and those who send messages use the same mobile app managed together. There are no additional improvements needed for Everbridge Mass Notification that I have not mentioned.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers excellent stability."
"Before this, there was a separate front-end software setup for different departments in the organization, which is now clubbed together and provides a single platform for all departments functioning on different business aspects."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."
"Easy to deploy new services."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"My advice to anyone considering Aurea CX Messenger is just try it; from my experience, it is very easy to deploy, very easy to develop and to implement in production."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"Everbridge Mass Notification has impacted my organization positively because it streamlines report writing and helps quicken our response times."
"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."
"Everbridge Mass Notification has been an extremely effective tool for leadership to understand potential impacts to employees located throughout the United States since all of our employees are 100% remote."
"One of the most valuable features is that we can select specific users to whom we want to message by area. We can draw on the map within the interface and send a message to all our subscribers within that area, ensuring relevant and targeted alerting. This prevents us from disturbing all of our subscribers with messages that aren't relevant to them."
"The reporting we have is very intuitive and provides good insight into the results when we send out a mass notification."
"Predefined templates with predefined contact lists attached allow an operator to send a message out to a contact list quickly."
"Everbridge Mass Notification has positively impacted my organization as it is a good way for a company like mine, which has assets all over the world including Europe, APAC, Latin America, and all over the US, to monitor all types of incidents and be able to check if our employees are safe or not."
"We like the simulation mode, a relatively new feature for Everbridge. It allows our users to practice sending out alerts, which is especially useful for new users transitioning to the platform, and was only possible after this feature was added. If we can't practice regularly, we'll be more nervous in an emergency which increases the chance of mistakes, and we need to be ready to send out those alerts."
 

Cons

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."
"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"Another issue, which again, I'm not aware if they already have because we have not updated to the latest version, but all the DevOps features would be nice to have because right now they are using their own deployment features."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."
"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"One place where Everbridge can be improved is its language libraries. It is weak on languages."
"When we first got the product, the person they assigned to be our customer representative wasn't the best. They didn't respond quickly enough. At times, we felt like we knew more about certain parts of the product than they did. When we asked questions about things they didn't know, they weren't proactive about finding the answers. After we complained, Everbridge sent us someone new. He knows a lot more about the product and works late hours to figure things out and get us a response the same day, so our support has improved a lot."
"Everbridge Mass Notification is one of the greatest tools, but sometimes it does not identify some of the locations."
"I do not know that any technology, including Everbridge Mass Notification, is going to be a perfect ten under the vast majority of circumstances."
"The product is lacking in the area of language support."
"Regarding improvements for Everbridge Mass Notification, the reporting part could, in my opinion, be a little bit improved."
"Online training materials and support documentation could be improved."
"I think Everbridge Mass Notification can be improved as the interface was very crowded and almost noisy, where it seemed outdated compared to ATS systems today such as Ashby and Greenhouse."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"
"The pricing is not so high."
"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
"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."
"The product is fairly priced."
"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."
"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."
"Considering what the product offers, the price is fairly reasonable."
