Crisis24 Critical Event Management (CEM) vs. Everbridge IT Alerting

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.

Targeting people (or their SIM cards to be specific) in a specific area and warning them about a hazard in their neighbourhood is the intended use, and it executes that perfectly. In addition we have implemented the traveller alert where we can send messages to all Icelandic SIM cards present inside another Country (another Country code), and send them messages about f.ex. terrorist attack and provide guidelines about where they shoud seek assistance if needed. A slight minus here is that you can only address entire countries, where it might be useful to have next level of area codes.

I would really like to have easier reporting. What warnings were issued, when, and received by how many, by operator or area etc..

The support team has been very supportive, but there is only so much they can do, and of course sometimes things take a bit too long for my impatience.

We didn't compare them to other available notification systems

I have reviewed quite a few at conferences, but none to the depth of installation and use.

• Without it I wouldn't have a security business case
• Employees demand this type of service exist
• In a cyber incident you need this kind of out of band mechanism to communicate

• The government has the duty to equip itself with a mechanism to warn its people. It has allocated that duty to us, and we have chosen Everbridge to provide us the tool for that duty. It is very well suited to fulfill that role.
