Our Hospital was looking for a paging system for emergency paging for one of our remote branch. The system was deployed to integrate with Cisco PBX. The setup is pretty straight forward.

What do you like best about InformaCast?

The feature set this product offers is more than I have even figured out as of yet. Each time we are looking to do something, this product suite can usually have a form of integration. We tie into our PA system, our panic system, our 911 dialing, our messaging systems. We run it as a VM on VSphere and it just works. Updates are easy to install and the install instructions are usually spot on. Great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InformaCast?

Nothing as of yet. Support is on game and the product is great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering InformaCast:

The product is solid and encompasses so many options. It would be difficult to find another resource that offers even part of what this product offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We originally used for a tie into our PA and 911 notification. External messaging capability in an even of an emergency. Learning that we can do so much more with the product. Truly a remarkable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about InformaCast?

Informacast integrates with our phone system to notify administrators and other key staff when 911 is dialed, and provides them with the building, room #, extension, and caller name so we can respond quickly. We programmed a single button on each phone which opens up a building-wide announcement to all phones and overhead speakers so that they can describe the exact situation of an emergency to allow others to take action. It is extremely simple for end users- simply push one button and talk. No codes to remember or dial, which would likely be forgotten in an emergency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InformaCast?

The initial setup and integration of the product with our phone system (Cisco Call Center) required a lot of consultant time due to the technically complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering InformaCast:

Clearly define the exact notifications that you wish to enable, and the exact conditions which will trigger each notification. You can configure Informacast to add recipients later, but the initial triggers likely require a vendor or consultant to configure, so you should only do them once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our school district was looking for a method to allow anyone to quickly provide real-time information to everyone in a building during rapidly-evolving emergency situations. Informacast provided a way to program a single button on each phone which broadcasts a live announcement from that phone to all (or some, as you configure it) phones and overhead speakers. We linked it to both our legacy analog paging systems, as well as new Advanced Network IP speaker/signs.

Secondly, we needed to notify key staff of emergencies and 911 calls. Informacast now sends alerts to specific staff (depending on the origin of the 911 call) via SMS, phone call, and alerts via the Informacast mobile app. The alerts notify us of the building and room from which the call originated, plus the extension # and assigned user. This allows us to respond quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
