Crisis24 Mass Notification (formerly One Call Now) is a broadcast messaging and notification service, as well as voice and email messaging system, for sending messages to groups quickly.
The AlertMedia platform helped us with several key events, including an F3 tornado near one of our sites and a police situation in a residential neighborhood near our office. With both events, the mapping features allowed us to quickly understand our associates who may be impacted/affected and follow-up with them in a timely and efficient manner.
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.
A build-in template for notifications about various activities (weather, injury, etc.) would help make alerts more systematic in both appearance and content.
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 from AlertMedia has been ongoing and very accessible. Staff are consistently available and quick to respond. And I was developing an organization-wide training for this system, I called and spoke with a recruiter/trainer who emailed several training slides and helpful tips that I was able to convert into an online training.
AlertMedia slightly edges out Rave for general notifications; Plus, AlertMedia has a very robust Threat Intelligence features that I'm not aware that Rave has.
