Crisis24 Mass Notification vs. Statuspage

One Call Now is a great program that is easy to use and provides trusted results. It helps small business like ours reduce man power when trying to send out important notifications. Traditionally, before One Call Now, we would need to send out email notifications only, and we did not have the man power to make phone calls, or the technology to send out text notifications. One Call Now allows us to do all of the above in one step.

StatusPage is well suited for notifications on services and products. If you need to have a passive way to notify users, internal staff, or executives on the status of SaaS services, StatusPage is a low barrier way to do this with minimal setup and maintenance. StatusPage is not well suited for scenarios in which you want info kept private. If StatusPage is updated, the subscribers to those alerts will be notified so you just want to make sure you're addressing the right audience with updates.

• When typing a voice message, it is not always repeated well. You need to created spaces for pauses in speech, or the reading of initials that are names such as TCDN.
• The different choices for voice could be improved upon, some are too similar.

Support is very responsive although we haven't had to contact them in a time of emergency, all of our support inquiries were answered in a timely manner and usually resolved with their first response. Support responsiveness played a big role in our decision since if we need help during downtime, we can't really afford to wait.

We have not used any other products before One Call Now .

I would say StatusPage on its own is a great service. StatusPage for Hipchat can only be used with that specific chat client. But on its own StatusPage can be integrated with many tools, like Slack, email notifications, text notifications, etc. I don't know of a tool that compares with StatusPage. You could essentially host your own status site with Greed Yellow or Red statuses, but you would be missing out on the robustness of a tool that keeps historical data, uptime, and segregates services based on components.
