AlertMedia vs. Pusher

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.

• Supports multiple countries with local or short code access numbers
• Very quickly sends multimodal messages simultaneously
• Provides good feedback for message sending, including options to resend to non-responsive people
• Very good Threat Intelligence options, including immediate notifications through subscriptions, and weekly TI summaries.

• 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.

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.
