Highly recommended for your organization and safety of your employees.

My organization uses AlertMedia to communicate efficiently in the event of an emergency. With our field teams spread out across the country, it is crucial to have a tool like AlertMedia as another digital and communication tool in our repertoire.

PROS

I like that you can mass communicate efficiently and effortlessly.

CONS

The automatic threat intelligence notification is in a different pricing tier, and I feel it should be offered in the base tier.

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

AlertMedia had a wonderful presentation and seemed to fit our company's needs more than the competitors. Also, the pricing was much more reasonable.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Travis! We're so happy to hear that you find using AlertMedia effortless and that it helps you keep your dispersed employees connected.

It has been a good experience. The responsiveness of our rep, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], has really made the difference.

PROS

It's an easy tool to use and I like the notification results information

CONS

I could use a face lift. Looks a bit dated. Some functionalities could offer more detailed or customized usage.

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

At the time the functionality appeared more user friendly

Reasons for switching to AlertMedia

It was not an easy product to use product, unless you used it every week. Voice translation poor.

Customizable!

We have been able to establish a robust mass notification solution.

PROS

We found AlertMedia to be a flexible solution to our mass notification platform, where we needed to create specific messaging for distinct groups for high frequency messaging and reporting-- we were able to develop and implement the adequate solution with ease.

CONS

At times, there are many layers to look at and even though we can sort these out, the dashboard tends to get busy at times.

So Much More than an Emergency Communications Tool

Our experience with AlertMedia has been phenomenal. As the head of Strategic Planning, I implement a lot of software. This has by far been the easiest implementation. From researching the company, presenting the added value to the executive team for consideration, contract negotiations with our legal department, and implementation of our niche departments with varying needs, it has been great. The responsiveness of our Customer Success Manager is fabulous - I'm talking under an hour most times. Truly great experience all the way around.

PROS

This product is so easy to use. It answered multiple needs for our company and allows other admins to take charge of their departments thus alleviating the administrative burden on the top-tier administrator. Buy-in is always a concern when considering a software purchase. With this product, the feedback I have received from department or regional managers is, "If anyone says this is hard to use, they should be fired." This is a win on multiple levels. Plus, all communication is organized and stored for reference later if need be - no endless emails or texts to track down.

CONS

There are some very specific use cases that the graphical data does not support. However, our success manager was amazing at listening to our needs, evaluating the system's capabilities, and providing a solution that works for us. When I say solution, I am not talking about a workaround that kind of gives us what we need, it answers our need. We just got there via a different path than expected.

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

The value of having an emergency communications system along with the system's ability to address operational communication needs was a big factor. We have many non-traditional departments where our employees are not sitting in front of a computer. Critical information was often not seen in a timely fashion or at all. Reliable text-based communication allowed a better way to communicate critical information and allowed us to discontinue the use of non-effective email addresses. When comparing our email domain cost vs Alert Media for our employees, it just made sense. The smooth process, honest sales presentations, and phenomenal customer support are the icing on the cake. Alert Media is a great company to partner with.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so happy to hear that your experience with AlertMedia has been positive since day 1 and that our customer success team has helped you build a solution that drives effective communication across your organization. This is music to our ears!

Worth It

AM gave me several months free to try them out, then gave me a really good deal for the rest of the year. They've been patient with our user increases, our technical questions, and our implementation process. Everyone there has been supremely helpful and if they don't know an answer they get someone online to help. The customer service side of it has been phenomenal.

PROS

I've been using mass notification systems my entire career, and what I like most about Alert media is the ease of use, the simple interface, the customization, and the multiple paths to communicate. The Threat Map being a free service was a selling point to me, because other companies required us to pay a significant amount of money extra for that feature. My favorite feature though is the fact that I can see in real time what devices were unable to receive my messages. This lets me know the fidelity of my data, if someone may be in a place where their phone isn't working, or if I have to use alternate methods to contact that individual. That feature, the map, and the price were what made me choose AM.

CONS

I would say that API is a bit cumbersome at times, but other than that I have no complaints.

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

Cost to features ratio was great... significantly more bang for your buck. The free threat map and the feature that allows us to track issues with outgoing messages.

User Friendly/Intuitive mass communications

Very positive, a great help during our cyberattack

PROS

It is fairly easy to teach new staff how to send messages for their departments and easy to set up user groups.

CONS

Expensive, frequently have to remind staff how it is NOT to be used

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

Best user interface and competitive pricing for the features needed.

Reasons for switching to AlertMedia

Everbridge was ridiculously expensive and not very intuitive for new users to learn. Also, during our 3 year contract period we were assigned a revolving cast of "account representatives" , few of whom had any idea of who we were or what were our needs.

Great Value for the Money

Our company was looking for a solution that was a good value, easy to use, a great mobile app and something that had templates. AlertMedia delivers on all these areas.

PROS

The ability to communicate with our employees at the same time using text, phone and email options. The mobile app is easy to use and in case of emergency is critical to communicate with the whole company at the same time. The templates are easy to set up and would be essential if there is an emergency.

AlertMedia at the Cornell Lab of Ornitholgoy

We occasionally have need to temporarily close due to power outages, etc. Many of our staff have long commutes into work from outlaying areas and this allows instant notification of any closures. We do not have a PA System or means for broad announcements, so our staff has come to depend on AlertMedia notifications for any important, timely messaging from the administration

PROS

I like the ability to communicate with all of our staff in a fast and efficient way, whether it be in the case of an emergency or building closure, etc.

CONS

Generally I can't think of any cons. I've been happy with the product, the customer service, etc.

Easy to Use and Outstanding Customer Service

PROS

AlertMedia is easy to use, intuitive, and great at meeting its primary purpose of getting alerts out to employees. Their support during and post implementation is among the best I've ever experienced. Implementation went smoothly and since we went live, every single question I've had has been quickly and thoroughly answered by their help desk.

CONS

AlertMedia is on the higher end of cost. Some of their features are bundled together so depending on your use case(s) you might have to spend money on features you don't need.

Hope you don't need it; glad to have it when you do!

Most importantly we can alert employees if our internet/servers are down. Prior to AlertMedia, we'd have to call them (not ideal) and couldn't use email (because the internet/server was down.) With AlertMedia: simple, single message (text to phone) and everyone is aware of the situation.

PROS

Super easy to set up and deploy to our employees. Really like being able to group employees by location, team, etc. Tool is easy to use, site is very navigable.

CONS

We haven't used it long enough for me to form an opinion about features I might like to see. So far there isn't anything I don't like about the software.

Reason for choosing AlertMedia

Sales rep was pleasantly tenacious, presentation was brief, simple and met our needs. Our dedicated account rep. is delightful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I have used AlertMedia a lot to notify staff about snow storms , power outages and on local shootings. It is a very quick way to communicate with our roughly 350 staff members.

PROS

I really like how we can setup different departments to send alerts. We can send to all 350 staff or select just nursing, marketing, facilities, ect. We can also send to all locations or just pick one or several of our locations at one time. I also like how we can tailor our message to an emergency like a power outage, snow storm, fire or just general information.
