AlertMedia vs. Crisis24 Critical Event Management (CEM)

The AlertMedia platform helped us with several key events, including an F3 tornado near one of our sites and a police situation in a residential neighborhood near our office. With both events, the mapping features allowed us to quickly understand our associates who may be impacted/affected and follow-up with them in a timely and efficient manner.

Its well suited for early warnings; wellness checks; repeatable long-term duration events. ITs easy to train admins on it. I dont really see any less appropriate uses -- you may not want to use it for EVERYTHING or people ignore messages. So your admins need to be smart about deploying its capabilities. but it has never let me down.

Support from AlertMedia has been ongoing and very accessible. Staff are consistently available and quick to respond. And I was developing an organization-wide training for this system, I called and spoke with a recruiter/trainer who emailed several training slides and helpful tips that I was able to convert into an online training.

AlertMedia slightly edges out Rave for general notifications; Plus, AlertMedia has a very robust Threat Intelligence features that I'm not aware that Rave has.

We didn't compare them to other available notification systems
