We use xMatters for all of our communications for ticketing, alerting, schedule management. Our on-duty teams and incident management processes rely heavily on xMatters. We have configured pager, SMS and email communication devices for thousands of users. We configured and use a ticketing system integration so users can own tickets directly from the xMatters application or by a simple email reply.

xMatters - An Enterprise Level Event Notification Tool
xMatters is being used as the event alerting tool in my organization. This is used across all departments by their respective IT Teams. Whenever an event is triggered a ticket is logged in the ticketing tool and an event is thrown to the xMatters queue which then decides based on pre-filled event handler information and on-call person roster, whom to inform about the alert. Users are able to acknowledge the alerts from within the call, app or email received from xMatters. Further, it's being used as an Incident Communication tool to inform intended recipients about critical incidents impacting the systems.
- Close to real-time alert notifications over preferable options, like phone call, text, email, or app notification.
- Automated incident communication about critical system outages based on alerts received in the system.
- Automated on-call roster and notification deliveries to SME.
- Can improve Android app UI.
- Can provide plug and play integrations for several other third-party tools as well.
- Over Voice Call alerts, more accent options could be added to localize the call message delivery for a better user experience.
We have been using xMatters for about a year now. All of our on-call teams are setup and receive critical alerts. Our process flow is started with a ServiceNow Incident and then if it meets the critical alert status, xMatters takes it and alerts the proper parties. We don't have a bridge conference calling system other than Skype and sending out invites for them to join. Makes it kind of messy, with xMatters we are able to send an alert out to their mobile device for the appropriate parties to join. I'm hopeful we can use this in our restaurants for refrigeration systems if there is a power outage or hardware failure. Along with their weather monitoring system for when storms come. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a monitoring system. It has been a great improvement from our other vendor we used to have.
- API calls, we can create an API ourselves to integrate with other applications. This allows more teams to be notified of a critical alert instead of waiting for someone to call them when a problem is reported.
- The on-call schedule where you might need to have a replacement is fairly simple. You can easily change with someone else and still keep the rest of the schedule in place. It also sends an email to the person you are trading with so they know when they are on-call.
- Their support team is really helpful and quick to respond when you open a ticket. There hasn't been an issue that hasn't been resolved in less than a day. They stay really on-top of things.
- I wish we could create custom groups without having to open a ticket and have them create it for us. I needed team leads to have the ability to change the scheduling of their own on-call teams. If I granted them a specific group xMatters has built in, it would give them access to change everyone's schedule.
xMatters is being used by our team as a notification tool for our monitoring products. It helps us to quickly address the right people to work on a specific issue/alert/message.
- Ease of usage
- Different methods of integration with other tools and applications.
- Fast learning curve.
- The search functionality when looking for past events can be a little tricky.
