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

"One key aspect of the solution is that it can send information very quickly and is connected to different nodes."
"The number of man-hours saved, and the standardization of notifications in mass form, have paid for product time and again."
"With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"We have had great success, using Everbridge for more than 500 different notifications, tests, and other events with no stability issues."
"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."
"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 just runs. I do not think we have had a single outage; nothing. There has not been a single issue with it in the time that we have had it running. It just works."
"Everbridge has managed to actually reduce that to under three minutes, and even in my new company our engagement time is sitting right around three minutes to engage personnel to a critical outage."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"VictorOps has decreased the meantime to acknowledge an incident management process, our developers can be on-call faster when we are using this solution, and we can fix our incidents much quicker."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
 

Cons

"The solution's non-targeted communication with external parties could be enhanced."
"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."
"One thing that could be improved would be to enable the mobile app to more easily display published calendars via the Member Portal. Currently, it is quite difficult."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks ability to customize messages."
"We did have one problem within the first 30 to 60 days of going live where we had a day-and-a-half outage of the platform, and frankly, that's unacceptable."
"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"The end result is that we have driven down our MTTR by an average of about 45 minutes across all major outages. That is very substantial considering the cost of every minute of outage can be thousands of dollars lost."
"It saves us a lot of time."
"Their pricing is a good value and very reasonable. They are very upfront about their pricing. There is nothing confusing about it."
"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."
"We thought the base product was pretty reasonable. It can pricey once you start adding stuff on."
"I do not know about the licensing costs, but I know they're in groups, and there are permission caps. For example, you can have five admin accounts, and anyone can receive a notification. There's a mobile component too, which I find particularly useful, but it has to be a part of the contract."
"The pricing was under $25 a month per user. We had about 1,000 defined users."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
