Everbridge Mass Notification vs. Lockdown & Crisis Communication Platform

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.

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.

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.
