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.

Automated alert routing has improved incident response and now enables faster on-call collaboration

Some of the features of Splunk On-Call include automated alert routing and escalation that will ensure the right people get notified immediately. Also, on-call scheduling and rotation management. This feature makes managing shifts and coverage very easy. Another feature is real-time incident collaboration and communication. This will help bring the right team together fast. Another feature is alert de-duplication and suppression. This will reduce the noise, so only meaningful alerts reach the on-call staff. The feature I rely on the most in my daily work is automated alert routing and escalation. It ensures that critical issues go directly to the right engineer without delay, which saves time and prevents the incident from being missed. This has been the biggest contributor to improving our response times. The noise reduction feature is also very helpful. By filtering out non-critical or duplicate alerts, Splunk On-Call keeps our team focused on what actually matters and prevents alert fatigue. Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents. It also reduced alert fatigue and made our on-call process more reliable and predictable. Our average incident response time dropped by around 20% to 25%, mainly because alerts reached the right people faster. We also noticed fewer unnecessary escalations, and missed alerts almost completely stopped after we implemented automated routing and escalation policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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 mobile app provides ease of use for our resolvers and mobile push has proven quick and reliable. It also gives us flexibility around creating sometimes complex shifts within an on-call calendar."

"One key aspect of the solution is that it can send information very quickly and is connected to different nodes."

"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."

"I manage the platform, and I don't really use it. The scheduling aspect of it is valuable where you create your groups and then either manually or via API call, you can initiate an alert. It'll look at the schedule and only contact those people who are on-call. So, it takes the guesswork out."

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

More Everbridge IT Alerting pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"I would like to have a little bit more flexibility in the member portal."

"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."

"An incident management feature would be nice because, as it stands now, you select different items when you're filling out a form to launch a notification. If those were more conditional it would help. Right now it just puts out whatever you put into the form, whereas, if you could specify a "yes" or "no" and it would input a different verbiage, that would be nice to have, instead of having to spell out all the verbiage."

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

"I've worked closely with Everbridge teams in my previous positions too, and the one thing I would like to see is the distance. You have to measure it, and it's not really accurate. If we could have a general distance within the alert itself to tell us where the closest asset is, it would be useful. That's one thing I'd like to see."

"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."

"Lacks ability to customize messages."

"An ability to get to the database that houses our information would be great. Currently, we are at the mercy of Everbridge and, if they do not have the function built, we cannot gather the information that we would like."

More Everbridge IT Alerting cons

"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."

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

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

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

"Should have more YouTube webinars."

"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It saves us a lot of time."

"The pricing was under $25 a month per user. We had about 1,000 defined users."

"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."

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

"As far as I'm aware, there are no costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"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."
