Pros and cons

Customer support is amazing. Variations on sending alerts to the organization for all users are great due to some of our population not having the ability to receive a text message.
We have realized tremendous value in taking care of our employees and their families. They know we sincerely care and have invested in their safety.
The responsiveness of our Customer Success Manager is fabulous - I'm talking under an hour most times. Truly great experience all the way around.
The inability to provide updated info to the threat intelTeam when you have first hand knowledge of an incident.
The only issue our company has had is some people getting the message twice. Out of 300 people, we have only had 2 complaints.
I sometimes see errors such as a message did not delivered to everyone.

AlertMedia Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

being able to contact remote employees and give them emergency information is a great tool for us.

Pros

Being able to communicate in multiple ways with employees quickly was the biggest plus more us. Most of the onboarding was easy because AlertMedia was able to take our Directory and upload the information for us. The geofencing was a great tool for us to be able to pick locations to communicate issue with without needing to figure out who needs this information.

Cons

I like everything about the platform but it would be nice if everything was offered with the basic plan.

Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so glad to hear your experience has been positive.

Highly recommended for your organization and safety of your employees.

Reviewed a year ago

My organization uses AlertMedia to communicate efficiently in the event of an emergency. With our field teams spread out across the country, it is crucial to have a tool like AlertMedia as another digital and communication tool in our repertoire.

Pros

I like that you can mass communicate efficiently and effortlessly.

Cons

The automatic threat intelligence notification is in a different pricing tier, and I feel it should be offered in the base tier.

Vendor response

Thank you for your review, Travis! We're so happy to hear that you find using AlertMedia effortless and that it helps you keep your dispersed employees connected.

38,000 Employees — Hospital Mass Notifications

Reviewed 3 months ago

Best in the Industry. Every time I reach out to Customer Service I receive a response immediately and more importantly a fix to whatever my issue is. AlertMedia must be killing the competition in leading the ‘response’ metrics.

Pros

Simple as 1-2-3. Login; select template; send notification.

Cons

Currently working with higher stakeholders. In my role I receive notifications for multiple hospitals. The way we currently have the templates setup when I receive a notification I don’t know what hospital (location) it is for. The template needs to ask automatically to select a campus prior to sending message and include it in the notification. Thank you.

So Much More than an Emergency Communications Tool

Reviewed 3 years ago

Our experience with AlertMedia has been phenomenal. As the head of Strategic Planning, I implement a lot of software. This has by far been the easiest implementation. From researching the company, presenting the added value to the executive team for consideration, contract negotiations with our legal department, and implementation of our niche departments with varying needs, it has been great. The responsiveness of our Customer Success Manager is fabulous - I'm talking under an hour most times. Truly great experience all the way around.

Pros

This product is so easy to use. It answered multiple needs for our company and allows other admins to take charge of their departments thus alleviating the administrative burden on the top-tier administrator. Buy-in is always a concern when considering a software purchase. With this product, the feedback I have received from department or regional managers is, "If anyone says this is hard to use, they should be fired." This is a win on multiple levels. Plus, all communication is organized and stored for reference later if need be - no endless emails or texts to track down.

Cons

There are some very specific use cases that the graphical data does not support. However, our success manager was amazing at listening to our needs, evaluating the system's capabilities, and providing a solution that works for us. When I say solution, I am not talking about a workaround that kind of gives us what we need, it answers our need. We just got there via a different path than expected.

Vendor response

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so happy to hear that your experience with AlertMedia has been positive since day 1 and that our customer success team has helped you build a solution that drives effective communication across your organization. This is music to our ears!

Alert Media Software is great

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

I like the fact you can pick your option on what type of notification you want to send . I like where you can choose your events. I also like how you can access alert media through the mobile app or go through the web. The software allows you to keep track of all communications related to one incident. I really like how you can customize the message for each channel, meaning you might decide to...

Cons

No I feel Alert Media has everything that I would need to conduct business with the company and its employees

Unexpected Benefit

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

We implemented Alert Media to help with emergency communications to our employees. Who knew it would become a daily screening tool during a pandemic? When COVID-19 struck, Alert Media quickly sent out information to assist administrators in setting up daily screening questions to track COVID-19. We are now using the product to track vaccinations as well. Customer service is excellent too! They have frequent webinars on the product and new features they are offering.

Cons

This is more of a suggestion for enhancement versus a con. It would be great to have the ability to design a more detailed, expanded survey. Also would be nice if local emergency information was not an additional fee.

Vendor response

Thank you for reviewing us! We are glad to hear that AlertMedia helped you keep your people safe and connected throughout this pandemic. We value customer feedback and will be sure to share your survey suggestion with our team.

AlertMedia Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

There are a lot of features we don't use, especially with the weather alerts. It's a little confusing sometimes with so many features. We mainly use it just as a communication source, not necessarily for the weather alerts.

Pros

We've been using AlertMedia for almost a year now. We implemented it right as COVID was ramping up and it was a great way to get ahold of staff members quickly - which was very important when we were first implementing COVID policies and procedures. It was very easy to get started and it's very easy to use. Also, our account rep is great! She gets back to us very quickly and answers all my questions.

Cons

I wish there were more design options in the email feature in particular, like ability move text and photos around, etc. I know it's not a design product, but would be a nice feature. I'm used to more design features when sending an email. Also, don't like the feature that if a contact is deleted (and then subsequently it's archived), I can't make a new contact with that same email address. To do so, I had to reach out to my account rep - would be helpful I could do that myself instead of having to reach out as an extra step.

Vendor response

Thank you for leaving us a review! We are committed to providing our customers with an easy to use, comprehensive employee safety tool that combines critical communication, threat intelligence, and safety capabilities. There is a feature you can enable when sending a notification that allows you to customize the text in your email, add images and attachments, and move these around depending on where you'd like them positioned in your message. We will have your Customer Success Manager reach out with more information.

Easy to Use and Outstanding Customer Service

Reviewed 3 months ago
Pros

AlertMedia is easy to use, intuitive, and great at meeting its primary purpose of getting alerts out to employees. Their support during and post implementation is among the best I've ever experienced. Implementation went smoothly and since we went live, every single question I've had has been quickly and thoroughly answered by their help desk.

Cons

AlertMedia is on the higher end of cost. Some of their features are bundled together so depending on your use case(s) you might have to spend money on features you don't need.

Great Communication Tool...

Reviewed 3 years ago

Good fit for our security patrol staff, keeping managers aware of the staff whereabouts around our sites. Helped in keeping temp layoff staff updated with latest company business decisions (COVID-related). Good tool for recurring alerts. e.g. reminding staff to fill-out the COVID self-assessments prior to entering work sites. Excellent built-in conferencing tool.

Pros

Easy to create groups and alert templates. Message templates very versatile (with formatting). Easy to setup recurring alerts. Helped during COVID high volume of communications with staff.

Cons

Would like to get more Canadian context for safety alerts and news.

Powering through a Pandemic

Reviewed 3 years ago

Health questionnaires are done daily, and it has been a pleasure working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] to solve our needs.

Pros

AlertMedia was an under utilized platform prior to COVID. However, it had the capacity and capability to be used for much more. We found this platform to be an ideal messaging media to quickly have two-way communication in a variety of methods.

Cons

The only downside is the survey can only be a yes no answer format. It could be improved.

When sending a survey notification, you can create up to 9 custom response options and even include automated follow-up messages depending on what response your people choose.

Pros

Use Share Point forms to initiate sending of messages that are customized and have data metrics that provide great trends as to what types of incidents we have as where they are occurring by asset type.

Cons

No issues with software but are at the mercy of cell phone providers on text messages which can be slow or delayed when received.

Great for knowing critical issues happening in multiple cities

Reviewed 3 years ago

This has been a useful tool to utilize in managing and communicating to multiple offices. We have 25 offices and trying to keep up with safety and weather alerts at all of them was overwhelming. This helps to manage that.

Pros

The ability to set up alerts at each of our cities where we have offices so we can be informed of issues that we need to notify our office team members. The ease at which you can send out alerts to a specific or multiple offices such as closures, etc.

Cons

Sometimes getting the alerts tweaked to where you just get what you need and not a bunch of other various alerts.

WIHD uses AlertMedia daily for COVID contact tracing and to get a bead on our employees. We do quarterly drills, to be sure we have captured everyone's information, and use the notification system for inclement weather situations, and building issues.

Cons

AlertMedia is so easy to use. Our previous emergency notification software was very cumbersome. With AlertMedia, all you have to do is start typing in your message and hit send!

Admin/Non-Purchaser Review of AlertMedia

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, we are very pleased with the software and, I feel, have not used it to its full capabilities. We have a fantastic customer support team that has made sure to let us know about upcoming improvements, local and national events that may affect our team members, and kept our information up to date by assisting with our weekly data upload.

Pros

Relatively easy to use once the initial setup is complete. Customer support is amazing! Variations on sending alerts to the organization for all users are great due to some of our population not having the ability to receive a text message.

Cons

Could be a personal issue, but I'm unable after multiple attempts to successfully upload our team member file without overwriting our current group structure through the system.

Vendor response

Thank you for reviewing us! We are glad to hear your experience has been positive. Import and overwrite issues can occur when you have multiple import methods running at once. We'll have your Customer Success Manager reach out with more information.

Great for HSE

Reviewed 3 years ago

It's good. It's one of those tools that you set up and kind of forget about because you (hopefully) don't need it daily. It's easy to use, so if you haven't used it in a while then all the sudden need it, it's easy to navigate, which is important in an emergency.

Pros

It's easy to contact employees when events are near by.

Cons

It'd be nice if the software notified the administrators of events happening in the area (i.e., protests, weather events, active shooters, etc)

The overall experience has been good so far. The app comes in handy specially during COVID because of frequent communication.

Pros

The intuitiveness of the application and multiple modes (phone, text, app) to communicate. Multiple group based on various categorization. Easy interface with HRIS. The set up team helped with message templates.

Cons
