xMatters is an IT alert management solution for enterprises. It is cloud-based incident management software that enables business processes or applications to trigger two-way communications (text, voice, email, SMS, etc.) during time-sensitive events.
AlertOps is best suited for service delivery companies, as it tracks the whole process and create alerts if any ambiguity is there giving the time to respected personnel to resolve and manage the same issue to ensure the smooth processing. It even escalate alerts to different teams creating s consistent coordination between teams and saves a lot of time.
We use xMatters for our alerting on critical matters. ServiceNow is our incident management system and it ties into xMatters. When a critical alert is generated it will notify the appropriate party. I'm trying to see if two other departments can use it. We are looking for a refrigeration system and for weather alerts when bad storms are coming
While the Workflow's are one of xMatters's strengths, the complexity can make it difficult at times to get things configured properly and get the desired result.
xMatters has a pretty good UI. However, its versatility does get in the way a little as the number of options can be overwhelming, and it sometimes takes a while to find the place you want, or get the result you want. I don't have any suggestions on how to fix this, it's just a side effect of the complexity that xMatters offers.
xMatters has a good support team that respond in a timely fashion within the agreed SLA with our company. They also have elaborate documentation on how to onboard xMatters in your organization, how to administer it and use it. They have very good fault mitigation capability which helps us to get quick recovery in case of system failures.
Although all the other products are also great but AlertOps has same and infact some better functionalities at less and better prices than other tools. AlertOps also offers free trail version which allows the users to take the demo and have a better understanding of the product which is not available in most of the other products available out there.
xMatters is a market leader among many new burgeoning products in the stakeholder notification space. They are historically one of two original enterprise products in this space. Great client base of large companies and good reputation. xMatters offers flexible licensing models, depending on functional needs. It's easy to learn and use but slightly more difficult to administer.
Managers are able to pull reports faster for any incidents escalated to their team.
When needing to contact another on-call associate from another team, xMatters provides conference bridge lines. You don't have to set up meetings through Outlook or Skype.
