Add-ons, such as Live Call Routing and Dedicated Lines are available at an additional cost.
AlertMedia is absolutely critical for any type of emergency or weather-related situation where immediate notification is required. It is also valuable as a secondary collaboration source for management discussion and decisions. Finally, it is well suited for business continuity scenarios where typical communications platforms are unavailable.
OnPage is excellent as an on-call doctor paging system; it replaces the need for our call center, lets us have our answer, and either take patient information or be patched immediately through. This gives us time to finish anything we may be doing that might be urgent without losing their information as it is written in the app or time to pull up the patient's chart before calling them back.
The options for Threat Intelligence management through notifications could be a little better, including options to forward a link to a TI alert (not requiring login) to those in a TI affected area.
Some improvement in sorting options, although current options are useful.
Better integration with digital signage and other display platforms by providing an option for shortened messaging specifically for these devices as an option in the new notification screen.
Not really a "downside": because it works so well, any details we haven't documented from our initial setup are probably lost. It's been almost four years since our initial configuration, and I can no longer easily navigate the OnPage site because I literally haven't logged in since the initial implementation.
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 was very customer focused. Truly felt like was a very valued customer and willing to "prove out" their systems prior to full commitment to purchase. Willing to go "above and beyond" to show their product. The customer support is truly best in class
Out of these, PagerDuty has been my favorite. OnPage is my second favorite so far. The two systems do the same thing. OnPage has a less painful punch in the wallet for the needed technology. The xMatters and ShoreTel Connect only redirect the call and trigger a single alert. Neither of these two products alerts a second time or escalates the ticket. OnPage and Pager Duty have escalation channels. OnPage has an easier scheduler to understand than Pager Duty, however.
Eliminated the concern that on-call personnel were not notified of an issue at all or on a timely basis
The reasonable cost, ease of use and reliability reassured management that any issues arising would be handled quickly
Users disliked carrying the bulky, unreliable and battery operated pagers. Today all users carry cell phones and can easily install and manage OnPage software
