Everbridge 360 vs. OnPage

Well suited to Emergency Communication, particularly as an initial alert to a potential or realized disruption. As a notification service, however, it operates predominantly as a one-way communication tool and doesn't allow for individual responses to be recorded. The ability to having a two-way communication channel would speed up response times in an emergency situation and negate the reliance on supplementary applications.

The best solution for OnPage is a small company with a small On-Call Team. The reason for this is because of how many it can trigger in a 30-minute time span. It's really good with us IT people as we understand the urgency of the call and we can react with the ticket. This gives the end-user peace of mind. This product would not be good for a large-scale company. It would not scale well for thousands of users.

• Multiple modality to get in touch of teammates.
• Easy to use software.
• Customizable fields and data points.

Incentivized

• Delivers prompt messages with important information for patient call back
• Overrides phone ring settings if needed to ensure a sound is made if desired and no pages are missed
• Repeats pages frequently if not opened initially, so they are not forgotten

Incentivized

• Ease of signing up
• Conditions and notification sending

• Not really a "downside": because it works so well, any details we haven't documented from our initial setup are probably lost. It's been almost four years since our initial configuration, and I can no longer easily navigate the OnPage site because I literally haven't logged in since the initial implementation.

I have done well with the service

Everbridge has training materials that they email out to let us know how the platform is continuing to grow and expand its capabilities. They also periodically offer webinars to let us know the latest. I rate it a 10 because they let us know in these periodic emailing and webinars that we can reach out to them anytime if there's ever an issue. If you accidentally delete someone, for 30 days you can go back in and reinstate that person.

When we have issues we have fast response and willingness to help

I had no part of the implementation

We were previous users of iModus and migrated to Everbridge as a matter of course when the latter acquired the former. Some research into emergency communication messaging was carried out before we engaged with iModus, but it was so long ago that the other products on the market have been forgotten. Suffice to say, we have been extremely satisfied with both iModus and Everbridge and have not seen the need to assess the 'competition' since being a client of them.

OnPage is the first we chose and would not change that. The ability to link to our CSM, RMM, and technicians on the road has made this the best solution. Our team is able to use the current setup to make custom alerts based on the ticket details. This allows for all of our future needs to be covered.

• Allowed us to navigate through the COVID pandemic (daily check-ins).
• Provides a way to communicate to impacted employees due to weather events.
• Can take a significant amount of time for setup and integration.

Incentivized

• Eliminated the concern that on-call personnel were not notified of an issue at all or on a timely basis
• The reasonable cost, ease of use and reliability reassured management that any issues arising would be handled quickly
• Users disliked carrying the bulky, unreliable and battery operated pagers. Today all users carry cell phones and can easily install and manage OnPage software
