What do you like best about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

Enterprise Alert delivers the right information to the right people, in the most convenient and effective way.

What do you dislike about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

Because it is comprehensive, the product is complex, particularly in its policy design, and sometimes the nuances of configuration just have to be experienced. Documentation and FAQs should continue to evolve.

It would be useful if more configuration options were available to fully disable some components which we are not using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DERDACK Enterprise Alert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have increased the speed and effectiveness of incident callouts to information workers, field services engineers and staff in various departments. With its mobile support, Enterprise Alert supports "anywhere delivery" of critical information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It tracks the delivery of notifications, acknowledgements and replies and reacts automatically on non-delivery or non-reply by utilizing escalation chains, on-call schedules and presence information. Enterprise Alert enables convenient scheduling of on-call duties by drag & drop in any browser. Based on scheduling information it can then alert the right engineers at the right time. Backup engineers and stand-ins are also available. IT service staff or engineers who are alerted often need to communicate with managers, on-call staff of other teams or subject-matter experts. Derdack´s Enterprise Notification Software provides perfect toolset for a real-time, anywhere collaboration experience. Handling critical incidents shouldn’t stop with acknowledging an alert. With our mobile app you can comfortably manage alerts, troubleshoot problems and even resolve them by triggering parameter-based IT automation tasks.

Enterprise Alert has been specifically designed for large and global enterprises and organizations with the highest demands in reliability, productivity, integrations and security.

What do you like best about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

I like the ability to let your users be notified by the methods that they choose. Before, our methods were static. You got a phone call or a SMS text and there was no intergration. Now, you can setup an alert and if the user wants 5 phone calls, or they want a different schedule for work vs home they can do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

There isn't alot to dislike. I think if anything Derdack can contiue to expand the project. I know they recently added MS Teams noticiations via team channels, however, I still get asked why we cant have personal noticiations. Also, would be nice to have a easier way for users to onboard with the Mobile App with a QR code that configures the URL instead of them typing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DERDACK Enterprise Alert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have alot of teams using this product and I have heard from those managers that its really helping address the missed alerts. Its has gotten rid of the SMS email groups where someone has to go in and manualy change it every week to the person that is on-call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

We drastically reduced false alerts getting through to our on call teams.

Finally one easy to manage centralized system to control the flow of our alerts, using numerous protocols from mail over SNMP and software specific connectors to two-way-REST-APIs.

Have not found a competing product which brings nearly the same functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

Some of our users dislike the mobile app as it is slow from time to time. It could use an overhaul, which might already have happened with the SIGNL4 connector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DERDACK Enterprise Alert solving and how is that benefiting you?

We centralized our IT on-call team management and general IT alerting with Derdack Enterprise Alert in 2015. It helped lower our response times and also helped minimize our downtimes. As a bonus, our on-call shifts are less noisy, as there are just actionable alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

We've been an EA user almost 10 years now and are extremely happy with the product and support. Some things to mention..

* Great looking interface

* Very robust piece of software and they continue to add new features.

* Easy to schedule oncall (drag and drop and it remembers your pattern)

* Easy to run Alert policies based on emails. It also interfaces with a lot of monitoring systems

which makes setup easy.

* Remote actions do the work for the user keeping you out of it! They can send an email to EA and a script will run

if they are in the correct security group taking care of whatever process you wish. We use it for licensing.

* SMS Broadcasting is great for mass notifications of downtime. We use this monthly for our outages of critical systems

* Easy to setup notification channels. We moved to a cloud based VOIP this year (cost savings) and it

was so simple to get setup and cutover.

* Support is awesome! they work with you on problems and even upgrades if you're nervous. You don't have a good

company without good support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

* No dislikes. Its a solid app and I've never had any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DERDACK Enterprise Alert solving and how is that benefiting you?

* simple friendly interface that makes it easy for users to schedule their oncall. It shouldn't require an

IT guy to get the job done.

* oncall scheduling with multiple methods of notification.

* Easy to alert via email messages based on subject or body information.

* Disaster Recovery! Use the included SQL server on the same box as EA and DR

is simple with vSphere replication or Azure sync.

* Users can fix their issues by setting up remote actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

The implementation of Enterprise Alert was straightforward, thanks to Getting Started. Enterprise Alert perfectly covers our processes in the company. The administration and also the use for our colleagues is simple and reduced to the essentials. In case of special requests, the support was able to assist us directly and create a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DERDACK Enterprise Alert?

More notification channels such as MS Teams with the ability to acknowledge alerts from chat would be a nice feature. And our department heads would like more reporting options directly from the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DERDACK Enterprise Alert solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Enterprise Alert, it was possible to implement on-call scheduling, reduce response times, and create appropriate policies for alerts. This allows us to meet the SLA response times agreed with the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
