Mass alerts have protected traveling staff and support teams manage critical regional events
The best features Everbridge Mass Notification has is that it gives us details of critical events happening in a particular region we wanted to monitor, and that stands out as one of the most important ones because it helps us analyze the geographical location to inform the leadership team who is traveling. The critical event alert has helped the team analyze how many employees are in the safer zone, whether someone is in trouble, if someone really needs help, how many employees are in that critical region, and what the criticality of the event is using Everbridge Mass Notification. This is one of the best features to add. I have noticed many improvements while using Everbridge Mass Notification because it has helped us send alerts to a team or people in the organization at one time rather than selecting each person individually. We even received responses from the employees who had been notified, and that is one of the most positive things I have noticed using Everbridge Mass Notification rather than monitoring each person. If I had 500 people working in that location, we could analyze how many people responded to the alerts and whether they were in the safer zones. Based on that, we could filter who had not responded and then send the alert again to them. Everbridge Mass Notification can handle growth pretty well and the usage can be increased based on the scalability of how it has been impacted during critical events.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reporting we have is very intuitive and provides good insight into the results when we send out a mass notification."
"Predefined templates with predefined contact lists attached allow an operator to send a message out to a contact list quickly."
"Most recently, the ability to pull from white pages and yellow pages is valuable. It used to be that we were using the system and people had to sign up to be included in it, and just last year, we were given the option to pull from white pages and yellow pages, which broadens our audience considerably."
"Everbridge is a dynamic tool that integrates well with our other systems. We can trigger messages from one platform to multiple places. The messages are sent to campus TVs and our website. We've been able to connect it through a lot of different options."
"It will call and leave me a message, letting me know what's going on... That capability is valuable because people now tend to keep their phones with them, more so than anything else. They're more prone to listen to or see an alert coming through their telephone rather than via email."
"For my client's purposes at the time, Everbridge Mass Notification worked perfectly."
"From research into competing products, there are no products on the market that appear to be decidedly better."
"If the health system I work for did not utilize this, it would risk not getting critical alerts out to the right people ASAP."
"It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location.​"
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful.​"
 

Cons

"One place where Everbridge can be improved is its language libraries. It is weak on languages."
"Everbridge has a huge amount of documentation, which is great. I think they've done a wonderful job on that. However, it can be difficult to sort through all of that to find what you need."
"Regarding improvement, it could be clearer around selecting groups of users to notify; it could be more intuitive to pick who we want to send messages to."
"I've been working with them literally for years to get certain things resolved, and there are always issues and problems. One of the issues that we've been dealing with recently and for some time now is that some people don't get the message. It goes out to 27,000 people, and afterward, I hear from people that they did not get the message, or their phone didn't ring, and it didn't go to voicemail. Nothing happened, and they were just dropped. This seems to be an ongoing issue."
"When we first got the product, the person they assigned to be our customer representative wasn't the best. They didn't respond quickly enough. At times, we felt like we knew more about certain parts of the product than they did. When we asked questions about things they didn't know, they weren't proactive about finding the answers. After we complained, Everbridge sent us someone new. He knows a lot more about the product and works late hours to figure things out and get us a response the same day, so our support has improved a lot."
"Everbridge Mass Notification is one of the greatest tools, but sometimes it does not identify some of the locations."
"Everbridge can send out conference bridge meetings, but as nobody uses conference calls anymore, we would love to be able to generate Zoom links through the solution. That would be extremely helpful."
"I do not know that any technology, including Everbridge Mass Notification, is going to be a perfect ten under the vast majority of circumstances."
"The user interface is too complicated and aspects that should be offered, such as email subject line editing, are not."
"Conference calling requires a complicated syntax formula.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is fairly priced."
"The product's pricing is the most competitive of the three solutions we evaluated. One feature we have yet to use is the keyword opt-in functionality, which Everbridge included in the price. In contrast, Rave Alert wanted to charge us extra."
"Everbridge is a little pricey for what it offers. It's a bit overpriced from that standpoint. I'm aware of another company called AlertMedia that has a little more competitive pricing than Everbridge."
"Considering what the product offers, the price is fairly reasonable."
"We changed plans halfway through our engagement with Everbridge. It was one of those things where I liked the original license agreement a little better, but I understand the model they went to. They shifted to a consumption-based model, which isn't ideal. It has limited my use of the platform to some degree, but I get it. I understand where they're coming from."
"We recently renewed our contract, and the pricing is on the higher end. We have a yearly license with a three-year commitment, which seems standard, so we have no issues with that."
