    The product is very user-friendly and Singewlire is constantly updating its features so that the consumer is able to utilize the service to its fullest potential. Our organization has used the product for the past 3 years and has been satisfied with how effortlessly it works in our environment. It allowed us to reduce the cost of using other products [Mass notification of employees and 911 call aware primarily] that we were previously using Singlewire offered it all together.

    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

    • granular notification settings
    • Allowing users to create custom integration templates would provide more flexibility and control over how xMatters integrates with their systems
    • Additional built-in integrations with other applications would be an area of improvement.

    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.

    Working with xMatters support has been fantastic! Our support rep is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We get quick response times when asking questions, and when we have more complex problems, it's easy to schedule a call and spend some time working through our issues together. Every time we've had a problem we've been able to get the info we need and get a resolution easily.

    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.

    • Quicker response times for on-call personnel.
    • 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.
