RedFlag vs. Titan HST

RedFlag is extremely helpful in all sorts of emergencies. Whether it's a fire, natural disaster, inclement weather, active shooter, or even a cyber attack, this tool can be used for emergency notifications during all these situations. It can also be used for internal communication. You can send out notifications based on location through geotargeting, message groups together, or have one-on-one communication too. It's a great tool for making business decisions as well. You can use its polling feature for the same.

Aside from COVID-19, we had to close the school down 3 times this school year due to smoke (bad air) and a piping issue. Titan was able to get our messaging out immediately and we were able to make sure no one showed up to school when we sent out a text message and email message early that morning. We have been able to mitigate issues by communicating effectively with our families and staff.

• Inform people of critical situations
• Gain feedback and insights

• The app is extremely easy to use.
• It has been a very useful tool when we have had a couple of emergencies on campus.
• It has kept our parents, faculty, and staff informed immediately during an emergency situation.

• Integration with pagers for communication. It’s not a big concern as only a few employees have requested for it. However, it’d help if RedFlag can implement that as well. I’m pretty sure they’ll; they keep coming up with updates regularly.
• Would love to see RedFlag go completely global.

• The only thing would be to change some of the COVID-19 prescreen features.

Titan has enabled us to quickly and effectively communicate with our constituents. We have used Titan when we need to get an important message out or when we have had a crisis. It has worked extremely well and Titan has provided a top-notch product. The app is extremely easy to use and the web interface is also very simple to use. Additionally, we have made requests to enhance the product and every time a suggestion has been made, Titan has listened. There were two critical updates they were able to make this year, that has made sending messages out a lot easier. We had requested our school name be used when messages were sent out, not our own personal names. So now when I send a community-wide message, it is sent from the school and not one specific person

I have found the app and the web interface extremely easy to use. It is also easy for my colleagues to use even if they don't use it often.

The support team for RedFlag is amazing. They are always there to address my needs and my dedicated account person is always working to help me. I think this is a differentiator for the company.

I have only needed to use Titan Support once or twice, but I was able to get my issues resolved quickly and on the same day. Support and my account rep are always there if I need assistance. They are very focused on customer service.

Titan told me what they needed on their end to upload the information and I was able to provide them with the data. Our account rep hosted a training for all our faculty and staff so everyone was comfortable using it. It was very straightforward

I found the team at RedFlag to be much more responsive and the features were more in line with what I needed. I also found the pricing to be much more in-line with my budget. It was the right solution for me.

We used Blackboard Connect previously and it's a terrible product for communications. I am so glad we left it.

• Positive as it has helped us reduce our emergency response time drastically. It’s also streamlined our internal communication and we’ve been able to reduce communication gaps to a great extent.
• Increased productivity due to ease of communication and quick decision making.

• Titan has been critical multiple times this school year when we least expected we would need it. I am a huge proponent of the Titan App
