What do you like best about DeskAlerts?

It's really useful being able to alert all of our store colleagues of an issue when it happens. This means that it reduces the number of calls into our service desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskAlerts?

I find the templates a bit dated design-wise. I would be nice to have more modern templates or easier ways to customise the pop ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DeskAlerts?

DeskAlerts allows our company to notify users with a desktop "toaster pop" message for outages, upgrade notices, and other important events. This software is used daily for our Network Operations team and keeps our customer service reps up to date on outages to support our customers. The software is straightforward to implement and integrates with Active Directory with ease. All of our implementations have come with the assistance of DeskAlerts support, who although are not in a local time zone, make a concerted effort to deliver a reliable service experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskAlerts?

Correcting issues with the software often requires installing a corrected version over the current version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DeskAlerts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Emergency notifications for network outages were being sent by email and were being missed by the Center Center reps who didn't have time to be parsing emails during calls. The desktop alerts allowed the reps to see a quick message about outages or upgrades without having to leave the billing system software, ensuring they remained focused on answering calls over checking email.
