Find out what your peers are saying about PagerDuty, Atlassian, Everbridge and others in IT Alerting and Incident Management."The most important features are the scheduling capability and the integration with ServiceNow."
"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."
"It helps to pull the right people in very quickly, through a collection of utilities where you can say, "I want to notify more than one person at a time. I want to escalate at my discretion and via rules within the system.""
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automated escalation, as it eliminates a manual process which is prone to errors."
"The system has a lot of great features and they keep adding to it."
"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."
"With SaaS, we can implement in other regions without having to physically go to there."
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful."
"It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location."
"Lacks ability to customize messages."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"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 feature that xMatters has that Everbridge doesn't have, or has in a limited way, is a method of funneling some alerts, as an FYI, to other stakeholders who are not necessarily prime actors in an incident."
"The incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."
"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."
"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."
"Conference calling requires a complicated syntax formula."
"The user interface is too complicated and aspects that should be offered, such as email subject line editing, are not."
