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

"We have had great success, using Everbridge for more than 500 different notifications, tests, and other events with no stability issues."
"The post mortem reports are descriptive, indicating who joined the call and when."
"The rotation and replacement options save our managers a lot of time."
"With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"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."
"I think it's a robust solution with multiple modules that can be leveraged."
"The most important features are the scheduling capability and the integration with ServiceNow."
"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."
"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."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"The big benefit of using Splunk On-Call is that I know I have a high-performance team, but now I can really measure and prove it."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"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."
 

Cons

"The customization of messages might be one area that they can improve on."
"Explanations are limited to 500 characters in description fields."
"The solution's non-targeted communication with external parties could be enhanced."
"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 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 incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"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."
"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."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"As far as I'm aware, there are no costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"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 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."
"Everbridge IT Alerting is a cost-efficient solution."
"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."
