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

"The system has a lot of great features and they keep adding to it."
"Valuable features include incident management and ease of integrations."
"By leveraging Everbridge, with a few clicks of a mouse, we are able to go in and request as many teams as we require to respond to an incident and bring them together to collaborate much faster."
"The most valuable feature is the support calendars."
"The most important features are the scheduling capability and the integration with ServiceNow."
"With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"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."
"It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location.​"
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful.​"
 

Cons

"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."
"The ability to not have to worry about the IT alerting and calendar resources. I would like it to be simpler in the sense of a different cost structure."
"The feature that xMatters has that Everbridge doesn't have, or has in a limited way, is a method of funneling some alerts, as an FYI, to other stakeholders who are not necessarily prime actors in an incident."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"It does have a pretty steep learning curve, especially if you're trying to parse information, instead of just sending it raw."
"Lacks ability to customize messages."
"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."
"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 user interface is too complicated and aspects that should be offered, such as email subject line editing, are not."
"Conference calling requires a complicated syntax formula.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their pricing is a good value and very reasonable. They are very upfront about their pricing. There is nothing confusing about it."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"It saves us a lot of time."
"Everbridge is not an inexpensive tool, but as the adage says, you get what you pay for."
"We thought the base product was pretty reasonable. It can pricey once you start adding stuff on."
"They are one of the cheapest solutions on the market. We looked at all of the major competitors in the space. Everbridge was one of the most affordable for what they are offering."
"For the one-way license, which refers to someone is just on the receiving end, it's very affordable. I was actually surprised that it was a really good price. The two-way license, like an on-call resource who is actually going to be in a calendar and be paged, it is a bit more expensive, but for the gains that we've realized, it's certainly worth the price."
"Everbridge IT Alerting is a cost-efficient solution."
