Everbridge IT Alerting vs. Splunk On-Call

Targeting people (or their SIM cards to be specific) in a specific area and warning them about a hazard in their neighbourhood is the intended use, and it executes that perfectly. In addition we have implemented the traveller alert where we can send messages to all Icelandic SIM cards present inside another Country (another Country code), and send them messages about f.ex. terrorist attack and provide guidelines about where they shoud seek assistance if needed. A slight minus here is that you can only address entire countries, where it might be useful to have next level of area codes.

Splunk On-Call has proved to be a great help in incident response within my organization. With the scheduling and assignment feature it is never in question which engineer is tasked with each assignment/incident. Being able to quickly and easily access all relevant logs greatly expedites incident resolution time. I would argue that the larger the environment and incident volume, the more important a tool such as this will prove to be.

I would really like to have easier reporting. What warnings were issued, when, and received by how many, by operator or area etc..

Not a lot of love given to VO since the acquisition by Splunk from my POV

The support team has been very supportive, but there is only so much they can do, and of course sometimes things take a bit too long for my impatience.

VictorOps support has proven excellent for us. Because it is such a widely used tool, there is a lot of documentation on usage, and a large community of users to lean on. Also, many engineers have had experience working with VictorOps already, and the tool is so easy to setup / manage that much support isn't really necessary.

I have reviewed quite a few at conferences, but none to the depth of installation and use.

Splunk is more intelligent, easy, and faster compared to other tools in the market. Easy to configure, and customization can be done easily. It's more user-friendly, and it adds more value when I mention about the navigation panel. Multi-level escalations and root cause analysis is done in an intelligent way. Troubleshooting is faster.

• The government has the duty to equip itself with a mechanism to warn its people. It has allocated that duty to us, and we have chosen Everbridge to provide us the tool for that duty. It is very well suited to fulfill that role.

• Saved hundreds of IT worker hours utilizing a single platform
• More cohesive support SLA from IT support teams
