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.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Valuable features include incident management and ease of integrations."
"The system has a lot of great features and they keep adding to it."
"Email Ingestion - Having the ability for ticket generation to auto-generate an incident through Everbridge has saved my team hundreds of man-hours it would have taken to manually create them."
"It has proved very useful, particularly because we have a GSOC that's not technically 24/7, and if something happens, they can easily send Everbridge a notification to activate the team off hours."
"It is the best tool that I have ever used."
"It's very customizable. For instance, if you're going on vacation this week, you go to your calendar and say, "I'm off this week, make the secondary the primary." And that's done on-the-fly. It's very responsive. It's very user-friendly."
"The post mortem reports are descriptive, indicating who joined the call and when."
"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."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
 

Cons

"The GUI is a little tough to navigate. It's not very straightforward when someone is trying to change schedules."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"Explanations are limited to 500 characters in description fields."
"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 company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"What I would like to see is vendor alerting. It's not structured to take into account that users outside of our environment, users outside of IT, may not be in the group."
"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As far as I'm aware, there are no costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"Everbridge is not an inexpensive tool, but as the adage says, you get what you pay for."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
