Provides good detection and escalation features to reduce downtime
We are using Everbridge IT Alerting for incident and crisis modules. The tool is powerful in itself, but as with any tool, you need to adapt it to the organization to be suitable for managing specific situations. When we did the analysis, Everbridge IT Alerting was one of the main products in the markets adapted to our organization's expectations. Currently, we are using it for a different aspect. Overall, the solution gives a better understanding of the incident response aspect. It helps manage that kind of situation. The solution's detection and escalation features are crucial in reducing downtime. The solution's automation capabilities help quickly identify the right members and skills. Everbridge IT Alerting is deployed on the cloud in our organization. We tried to make the solution more independent. However, we tried one or two integrations, and they went well. You need to have the right skills to integrate the solution with other tools. I would recommend the solution to other users based on their industry and business requirements. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to quantify improvements in escalation and time to resolution, as it has decreased timeframes and improved resolution by 35 - 40 percent."
"The most important feature, from our perspective, is the integration with our ticketing system. That eliminates wasted motion and time in drafting and sending and finding the right distribution list."
"The response time is real-time alerting. It is very helpful, because it makes things a lot easier. All we have to do is put a circle around a geo-fence and shoot off a message."
"We have had great success, using Everbridge for more than 500 different notifications, tests, and other events with no stability issues."
"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"Everbridge's tech support was really excellent; they were on the ball, they had answers to our questions, they made things happen that they probably hadn't done beforehand, and I found them really collaborative and very much a pleasure to work with."
"Our ROI is in the response time; we have a 15-minute SLA that we were never meeting and thought was unheard of in a manual environment, and Everbridge makes it possible."
"It is the best tool that I have ever used."
"It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location.​"
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful.​"
 

Cons

"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"The ability for members to change their schedules, and change the person their swapping with, could use improvement. The GUI is a little tough to navigate. It's not very straightforward when someone is trying to change schedules."
"The solution's non-targeted communication with external parties could be enhanced."
"An ability to get to the database that houses our information would be great. Currently, we are at the mercy of Everbridge and, if they do not have the function built, we cannot gather the information that we would like."
"The integration with other solutions needs improvement... Due to issues with the libraries provided by Everbridge, we have not been able to integrate IT Alerting with our incident management tool."
"They still have a limitation due to their partner, I believe it's Twilio, where, if you're on an incident call, there is a four-hour time limit. We often have calls that go over four hours in length so people have to drop and rejoin to reset their four-hour timer. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's not ideal."
"With their templates, you can only have a maximum of three phases: new, updated, and resolved. It's not always that easy when we open up a call, that we identify who we need, page out, and we're good. A lot of time it requires multiple page-outs. Being restricted to those three phases, there's no way to say, "I want this variable to be persistent, and this one to not be." ...I would like to see a bit more flexibility and tighter control over the templates and the variables you can create."
"I would like to have a little bit more flexibility in the member portal."
"Conference calling requires a complicated syntax formula.​"
"The user interface is too complicated and aspects that should be offered, such as email subject line editing, are not."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We thought the base product was pretty reasonable. It can pricey once you start adding stuff on."
"Their call structure is based on how many people are IT alert people and who is on the calendar, and the cost will be driven by those numbers versus if you are using it for the non-IT alert. As you look at the competition and other vendors, make sure you truly understand your cost structure with them."
"Their pricing is a good value and very reasonable. They are very upfront about their pricing. There is nothing confusing about it."
"The current pricing model is adequate. We feel that the pricing model for our IT Alerting solution is competitive with similar solutions on the market."
"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"It's a seven out of ten for us in terms of pricing. We've just gone through a process of looking at other solutions."
"The annual cost is $125,000 USD. That is for everything. It includes the 11,000 mass notifications. Technically, we have 500 licenses for IT Alerting."
"They are one of the top three most expensive products. I also understand if you are going to use them for IT alerting, it is worth it. They are competitively priced, but the IT alerting is the differentiator. The way that they market it and push it out. That is their premier function."
