xMatters 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Very productive, easy to use, no lags, 24/7 operational

Our install of the 1-way integration was very smooth. To setup and use the product was simple. Any questions I had were easy to locate through your support documentation. Our implementation of the 2-way integration has been a bit of a challenge. We allotted 100 hours to install the application in our lab environment, test it, and move it to our QA environment prior to installing it in our Prod environment. We are out of hours & just completed the QA setup. We have yet to address LDAP & SSO. So far everything is testing clean in QA.

We use xMatters primarily as an extension to notifications coming from our ticketing system. We also use its form-based notifications to send out invitations to join a conference bridge for troubleshooting situations. The integration from the ticketing system to xMatters On Demand (their cloud solution) was made difficult by the lack of a true outbound API from our old ticketing system. Regardless, xMatters has technical experts who were able to make it work. It took some trial and error, but the interface is based on Javascript so they were able to make quick code changes as needed. Our technicians are able to login to xMatters and configure their own devices, and determine how they want to be notified, and even set timeframes for devices. The team leaders are able to define complex shifts and coverage times for our on-call groups so that the right on-call tech gets notified during the proper time of day. This includes the ability to configure schedules for users in different time zones. There is a learning curve for the group "supervisors" to figure out how to set up the on-call shifts, but once they grasp the ideas of shifts and learn to use the calendar feature, it all makes sense. We are also able to leverage the use of groups-within-groups, where one group of technicians acts as the triage team for multiple groups. This allows one team to handle simple incidents and requests, allowing the Level 3 technicians to focus on project and development work without being interrupted by simple service requests and routine incidents during the day, while still allowing them to be available when needed for after-hours on-call support. We are also using xMatters form-based announcements, whenever it's necessary to send out a notification to a larger distribution of technicians, typically providing information about joining a conference bridge. We can either use xMatters' conference bridge or our own 3rd party conference bridges. The forms feature allows us to build fill-in-the-blanks forms without having to write code. Also, forms can be saved with certain fields and drop-down selections already determined, creating "scenarios" that we can use over and over. We're still in the early learning stages of the forms capabilities; xMatters also offers integration capabilities that we haven't leveraged yet. For example, we should eventually be able to trigger messages that make calls to 3rd party systems using their Integration Builder features.

The company I used xMatters with transferred our paging services here. It has a ton of useful features and is very responsive. Pages were sent quickly. Make sure you respond to pages appropriately or else you will be continuously paged. Just reading a page does not accept or reject it. If you don't have your profiles set up right for how you recieve pages, you can be paged multiple times for the same thing on all of your phone numbers. It can get frustrating if you don't properly change it.

Very good tool

Overall the product has functioned as expected. We mainly use it to alert and notify our sales reps during market event of appointments.

Used for paging purposes. Experience was good and convenient.
