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

"With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"The post mortem reports are descriptive, indicating who joined the call and when."
"You can configure the tool to escalate if no action is taken within a certain time period. That avoids sending off an alert that nobody deals with and where nobody knows that nobody has dealt with it."
"Powerful conference bridging that rigorously reaches out to stakeholders, which saves time working an issue."
"The most valuable feature is the support calendars."
"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."
"It's mainly for mass notification and pooling of contacts. Pooling of customers is valuable."
"The rules option has been helpful, as we can adjust the conditions in the template."
"It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location.​"
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful.​"
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."
"Their integration capabilities are still progressing, but not quite where we'd like to see them yet. They're moving there with that orchestration capability where they're seeing the potential of an API-first mentality. So instead of trying to build custom connections into everything, you open up APIs to allow other systems to talk to IT Alerting and allow IT Alerting to talk to other systems. There is room for improvement, but they get it."
"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."
"A key area for improvement - and I think they are working towards these things - is analytics. If I want to do sophisticated reporting and analysis of the data that's being captured in IT Alerting, at the moment, the reporting interface is immature."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"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

"Everbridge IT Alerting is a cost-efficient solution."
"Their pricing is a good value and very reasonable. They are very upfront about their pricing. There is nothing confusing about it."
"When we did our contract, we did a three year contract with fixed pricing. We locked in the pricing for three years. As we have grown, we locked in pricing for additional units of employees."
"For us, the pricing is a good value. I can't say whether or not their list pricing looks favorable to everyone who's checking, but I can say that the process of sourcing and procurement with them was very professional, comfortable, and friendly. The negotiations were done well on both sides, and in the end, I'd say the price was very effective... I think that people will find that Everbridge is a great listener and is willing to meet in the middle."
"We thought the base product was pretty reasonable. It can pricey once you start adding stuff on."
"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"Licensing cost is driven largely by the number of users in the platform including admins, group managers, and message senders, so you want to consider your needs there."
"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."
