A very stable and

We appreciate the integration possibilities in the command center that helps us to cross reference GPS and our own backend knowledge of the staff and their missions.

PROS

Simple integration with external alarm buttons and the ability to work standalone without any additional hardware. Simple and intuitive graphical user interface.

CONS

Not really part of the application but more into OS integration where sometimes new security features in the android OS interfere with the application. The supplier is always fast to alert us to this and thankfully there is a test function that we require our users to use periodically.

Reason for choosing Crystal Alarm

Yes At the time of purchase we did a benchmark of all known suppliers in regards to cost and capabilities and tested the ones that scored highest. Crystal Alarm outscored all the competition!

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback, Göran! We´re testing BETA versions of Android OS and iPhone OS to find possible issues as soon as possible.

A regular user

easy to use as long as it is installed as an app in the phone and that you alarm by the side button on the phone

PROS

we have had several types of alarms and they have not been so "easily usable". By having it as an app in the mobile phone, it has made it easier for staff working in the field.

CONS

Battery demanding, and you have to keep an eye on the external box so that it has contact with the mobile at all times

Reason for choosing Crystal Alarm

Crystal Alarm won tenders with my employer

Reasons for switching to Crystal Alarm

because it was expensive and very "clumsy" to carry and use.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind words, Reza! We are pleased that you and your staff find our personal alarm easy to use.

An easy-to-use system that is always with you

PROS

- Once set up, it is very easy to use. You activate the alarm by the push of a button on the phone, but there is also the option of using an external button. - The administrative portal is really user friendly. You do not need to spend a lot of time looking through user guides, everything is pretty straight-forward.

CONS

- It can be a little stressful to receive an alarm notification. The Crystal Alarm app plays a loud alarm sound and you get two notifications, one from the app and one as a text message containing a link to the alarm information. Both notifications takes you to the same information so you just need to use one of them but for some people it can feel like there is a lot of things happening at once.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Pär! We appreciate your feedback! The reason why we send alarms to colleagues both as SMS and as Push messages is because SMS is very reliable when you have bad coverage, while sending over Push is usually faster and not having the risk of being queued. Using both SMS and push will give our users optimal reliability while we understand that it can be a bit overwhelming to get multiple messages of the same alarm.

Easy to use

PROS

I like how easy it is to use and manage.

CONS

Not beeing able to use some functions when the phone has no service.

Vendor Response

Thanks Daniel! We appreciate your feedback. Currently, it´s not possible to use the panic alarm without coverage. Crystal Alarm continues to develop our service to enable alarming even when there is no coverage. Have you tried our timer alarm and safe return functions? These functions works even when there is no coverage. If you need the panic alarm function outside of coverage, there is also the possibility to connect a satellite tracker to the system.

Excellent staff security alarm

We needed an easy but still reliable solution for staff security alarm. We´ve tried som other alarms, but would never go back after using crystal alarm.

PROS

Easy to use and administrate. Excellent customer service. Mobile using friendly.

CONS

The buttons are not the sturdiest ones - treat them with care or they may break. Man down is the only feature we miss (using iOS). Sometimes the buttons loose connection with the phone and need to be paired again.
