Emergency Software

What I dislike about AlertMedia is limited. There are a couple of areas where additional flexibility would further strengthen an already strong platform. One is the current lack of dark mode. During a recent AlertMedia meeting, it was shared that a dark mode is actively being developed, which our team and I are very much looking forward to, as extended use of the bright white interface can be fatiguing during long monitoring periods.

Another limitation is that once an alert is initiated, there is currently no ability to return to the map view and adjust the geofencing before sending. Many of the situations we manage for coworker safety are dynamic by nature; incident perimeters can shift, the direction or impact area can change, or we may be asked to include additional locations after an alert has already been drafted but not yet sent. The ability to refine or expand geofencing in progress would significantly enhance operational flexibility during developing events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems AlertMedia is solving and how that benefits us is most evident during fast moving, global events. During the recent UAE challenges, we leveraged this as our primary platform for all ongoing safety communications with coworkers impacted in the region. The system solves the critical problem of maintaining consistent, reliable communication across time zones, geographies, and rapidly evolving conditions.

A key benefit has been the ability to pre build and schedule alerts in advance, allowing safety check ins to be delivered at appropriate local times as the day transitions from the U.S. to the UAE. This capability ensured that outreach did not depend on real time manual intervention during overnight hours and significantly improved response rates from coworkers on the ground. The result was faster accountability, clearer situational awareness, and more timely support for those impacted.

Overall, AlertMedia enables proactive, structured, and globally synchronized communication during crises; turning what would otherwise be a fragmented and reactive process into a coordinated and effective safety operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some parts of Everbridge Critical Event Management are more complicated than they should be—especially when you’re trying to fine-tune alert criteria, manage asset associations, or build automation rules. If you’re not already experienced with the platform, it can feel confusing and time-consuming to get things set up correctly. In reality, most teams end up needing ongoing training and support just to use these features effectively and consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everbridge 360 is helping us address gaps in how we detect, manage, and communicate during critical events. Before using the platform, our processes were more manual and fragmented—alerts could be delayed, communication wasn’t always consistent, and it was harder to quickly understand which people or assets were impacted.

With Everbridge 360, we’ve improved our ability to centralize incident detection and response, automate notifications, and target the right audiences more quickly. This has helped reduce response times, improve coordination across teams, and increase overall situational awareness during disruptions.

That said, the platform does require effort to configure and maintain effectively. Some workflows—like setting up alert criteria, asset mapping, and automation rules—can be complex, so ongoing training and internal ownership are important to fully realize its value.

The lack of a “save and resume” option during broadcast setup is really frustrating. If I get pulled away by another task, I often have to abandon what I’ve done and then start the whole process over from scratch the next day. A draft folder, or any way to pause and pick up where I left off, would make the experience much smoother and significantly improve the overall user experience.

It helps us reach our audience through multiple channels instead of relying only on emails, which often go unread. By adding voice and text touchpoints, we’ve noticed a clear increase in engagement. Overall, it’s a reliable way to make sure our messages are actually seen or heard, and that they reach people in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main area for improvement would be the cost when sending messages at a very large scale. While the platform works extremely well and provides great features, more flexible pricing options or volume discounts would be helpful for teams that rely heavily on mass outreach. Additionally, having even more customization options for message templates and automation could further streamline recruiting workflows. Overall, it’s a strong platform with just a few opportunities to make it even more efficient and cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved in Regroup Mass Notification is the user interface in some sections, which can feel a bit complex for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regroup Mass Notification helps solve the challenge of quickly communicating with large groups of people during emergencies or time-sensitive situations at the airport. As an airport admin, it allows me to instantly send alerts about incidents, operational changes, or safety instructions through multiple channels such as SMS, email, and voice. This ensures that staff and relevant teams receive critical information quickly, which helps improve response time, coordination, and overall safety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing. The platform has performed exactly as promised, and the team behind it consistently goes above and beyond to ensure success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a K–6 independent school, our priority is maintaining a secure, coordinated emergency response system. 911Cellular gives our staff confidence that help is just a tap away. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or during after-school programs. The system integrates perfectly with our existing security ecosystem, including Rhombus cameras and Pikmykid, allowing us to manage safety holistically. Beyond the technology itself, 911Cellular has given our community peace of mind through its reliability, real-time visibility, and direct link to emergency services.

Nothing comes to mind! If I had to say something, it would be that I wish there were nonprofit pricing. I have a strict budget, and so I only purchase three months, which is less expensive than an annual plan even with the yearly discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform helps the nonprofit I work for remind constituents about deadlines. The population that the nonprofit serves is extremely busy and juggling multiple things at once, so this platform allows us to remind them of application deadlines so we can help them.

There are no downsides of using iLobby as it assisted our processes greatly! It was was extremely easy to add people into the system and easy to preregister guests in the event of a group meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iLobby system helps us to ensure visitors check in, are given a name badge and read and conduct the necessary GMP and Safety training required of our facilities. We are also looking into adding a safety video for guests to watch at their arrival! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It did take several weeks of back and forth emails for me to fully understand how I wanted to customize and set up hiplink for our organization. Hiplink was helpful every step of the way, it just took some time for me to figure it out and work with our IT staff to implement it. Once it was set up it was very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were using Pagegate and it is difficult to set up and use. We use Hiplink for paging Fire and EMS through our radio operated paging system as well as sending notifications to applications, text messages and emails for a variety of emergency services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, there is still no incoming SMS interface. In the event that our data center is disconnected from the internet and SIGNL4 is therefore not reachable, we have fallback SMS gateways. It would be nice if we could direct these SMS directly to SIGNL4 for unified alarm management. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible. Unfortunately, the service is not exactly cheap, which is why you have to think very carefully in advance about whom to include as a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our problem is reliably alerting our IT infrastructure to the on-call duty without having to constantly pass on a specific on-call phone (as we did in the past). Due to increased home office regulations during Corona, this was no longer feasible. SIGNL4 now helps to deliver the alerts to the BYOD devices of the on-duty staff, and that on all channels (push, SMS, call). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One challenge with LumApps is that, like many enterprise platforms, the full value of the solution is only realized with strong implementation and change management. Organizations sometimes expect it to function like a simple intranet out of the box, but driving real employee engagement requires clear governance, content strategy, and adoption programs. Additionally, in highly customized environments, integrations and configuration can become complex, which means customers often benefit from experienced partners to maximize the platform’s potential.

LumApps is solving the problem of fragmented internal communication and knowledge access within organizations. Many companies struggle with information being spread across multiple tools, making it difficult for employees to stay informed, collaborate effectively, and find the resources they need. LumApps addresses this by creating a centralized digital workplace that integrates communication, knowledge, and business applications into a single employee experience platform.

It would be great to have an "automated" upgrade option for the clients

Also for the cloud based solution it would be good if we could have a proxy server on premise to also reach the computers that have no internet access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Netpresenter we have been sending out our messages through email. But not all email was read or looked at. With Netpresenter we can reach everyone in a much better and efficient way than before. People are now actually watching the updates and news.

Local teams can put their messages on Netpresenter to be displayed only on their computers, without missing out people or bothering the whole company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much I don't like about RedFlag, but if I had to think of something it would be that when entering contacts I would prefer for the system to automatically group contacts together that work at the same place. I don't mind every contact having the option to be an individual contact but I wish it would filter to groups as well. Example: Store: Claire's and then all the Claire's employees are a drop down list or can click into Claire's and it show all the employees. However, the search bar is very useful so it's not a major dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
