What do you like best about the product?
Multiple ways to get notifications... text, voice call, push, Windows alert, iOS alert, IP speakers. Very thorough setup options. Easy to install and get going.
What do you dislike about the product?
The menu structure could be improved. The setup could use better documentation/checklist. Integration with speakers is not perfect (works, but can be improved).
What do you like best about the product?
It is very helpful when I cam at my desk, or at home to know what is happening at my site location for my company. I also like that as an admin, I can alert others to a possible emergency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like when we do drills. Our security team sends an Informacast notification and my phone rigns, I get a text and an alert on my desktop while working....it's all great if there is an actual emergency, but when it's just a drill, it's a little annoying :/
What do you like best about the product?
It sends alerts, that's very helpful and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used to not like the webpage appearance so much, but since we upgraded to latest version, that's not a problem with me anymore.
What do you like best about the product?
When we changed phone systems to Cisco's platform, we lost the ability to know what extension dialed 911. With InformaCast Fusion we are now able to follow in real-time a 911 call. This was the first use case we had for InformaCast. Now we are tying Fusion into our fire alarm and door security systems. We have also integrated Fusion into our overhead paging allow us to have paging in areas our old analog system did not cover.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of ability to copy and paste repetitive tasks. An example was needing to create many message templates with small variations. Would be nice to copy and paste a finished template and make the minor changes.
What do you like best about the product?
The end-user interface is nice and simple which is what we really needed for our users. Since we use the product for emergency notifications, we need it to be simple to use without too much knowledge. This is for sure what Informacast excels at because we can set everything up and make it simple for the end user to just fill out a couple fields or check a few boxes and get the proper notifications out to the proper groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup for InformaCast is a bit complicated and I can see why self-deployed folks may have trouble getting utilization of the product. We thankfully had a VAR install and deploy for us and their knowledge in getting everything setup was excellent in handling what we would not have been able to.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up granular security to limit who can send to different distribution lists. Support is very quick to respond and knowledgeable about the product. The interface is easy enough to navigate and send broadcasts, even for people who are not overly technical. Easy to manage distribution lists, with several options for uploading data (both manually and automatically)
What do you dislike about the product?
Online documentation has not caught up with all the product features and a few times I needed to get in touch with support for clarification of different settings, especially around the security settings. Also, it would be nice if the primary ID of the distribution list members were not email as it adds an extra data-gathering requirement that people aren't always willing to give.
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the user friendly end user side. and the multiple alert you can customize.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing was disliked about the application.
