    AlertMedia
    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.

    As I told you earlier, if you just want to send regular push notifications to the app users, then Pusher shall not be your first choice. However, if you wish to make the app a little more interactive by making live changes in the app using Pusher and sending your user's real-time notifications, then you should definitely try it.

    • Pusher allows live changes in the UI using push requests. We can also integrate it with the PHP source code.
    • They offer 99.99% uptime, so we can trust on their services.
    • Pusher works well along with the Flutter codebase, so we do not have to modify it much to work on cross-platforms.

    Cons
    AlertMedia
    • A build-in template for notifications about various activities (weather, injury, etc.) would help make alerts more systematic in both appearance and content.

    Support Rating
    AlertMedia
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    AlertMedia
    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 had over ten thousand customer orders go through over the course of a year with no problems with this API
    • There was very minimal support for this API which allowed us to focus on other priorities.
