Helps in identifying potential impact and allows us to see where our assets are in relation to a risk event

I personally love VCC because I just think there needs to be more data to support it so we can be more proactive and easily assess the impact. So, I appreciate the visual aspect, but it has to have the data to support it. It has proved very useful, particularly because we have a GSOC that's not technically 24/7. We do have an 800 number that people call 24/7. If something happens, they can easily send Everbridge a notification to activate the team off hours. It is useful in that respect too. We use it in conjunction with teams, but off-hours and for additional people outside of the core team, we use Everbridge, which is useful.

Allows us to create flexible schedules for on-call rotations

For alerts, we could choose to get a text message, app notification, or a phone call. The phone calls were very unusable, because it just read a bunch of numbers, like an ID of the alert. If there was a way to customize the phone call message, that would be great. Later, we would try to read the message, but it wasn't great at reading that. They had some sort of internal chat functionality where if we got an alert, we could write to somebody else and ask them for help, but that was super cumbersome. There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert. Imagine you call the help desk and you say that your computer is broken and then they say, "Actually, the internet is broken, so let us forward your alerts to the network people." And the network people say, "Actually, the electricity is the problem, so let us forward it to the electricity people." Basically, you could send the alert between the support teams inside the company.

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."

"Valuable features include incident management and ease of integrations."

"The rules option has been helpful, as we can adjust the conditions in the template."

"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 been able to use it to track and verify that people are on the bridge."

"The most valuable feature is automated escalation, as it eliminates a manual process which is prone to errors."

"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."

"Even in the first few months, we realized some of those benefits around shortening the time to resolution."

More Everbridge IT Alerting pros

"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."

"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."

"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."

"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."

Cons

"It could use more enhancement type integrations, but no improvements to functionality are needed."

"There is some room to improve the initial-rollout functions which are a little bit painful."

"The initial setup was very complex. We did not have a very good experience with our initial deployment. Most of this was due to customizations in our ServiceNow instance."

"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 company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."

"The incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."

"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. IBM is an outside vendor for us, and we have IBM CEs who come in on a regular basis. If there's a problem, we call those vendors in. That should be tied into the system where we can say that vendors A, B, and C have these users and we want them available to come into the office when there's an issue. We want to be able to alert them in the same way we alert internally."

"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."

More Everbridge IT Alerting cons

"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 solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."

"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."

"Should have more YouTube webinars."

"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Their pricing is a good value and very reasonable. They are very upfront about their pricing. There is nothing confusing about it."
