InformaCast is used by organizations in healthcare, K-12/higher education, business, manufacturing, state/local/federal government, and retail.
The ease of use and simplicity of the interface are my top "pros. It was also relatively easy to set up from an administrative standpoint and integrates well with other NetSupport products.
Instead of calling around to each department, we can now send a message out when we are going to conduct a fire drill or restart a server.
The ease of use is what drew us to the notify. When you start up notify you select the options you'd like type your message and select the computers you want to receive it and off it goes.
No working/notification of message character limit - we have created messages and sent them to then only see that the entire message is not displayed.
The control you have... just overall. It's awesome to be able to see everyone's screen, lock down certain things, push things to them, etc.
We are running into some issues with NSS v11.2 and McAfee anti virus. It appears that some of the dlls are not signed.
Low resource demands, easily integrate into Active Directory. Great tool for getting important notifications right in front of staff when you need to.
Sometimes the updates make things difficult. We have had to use work arounds in the past until the developers pushed out and update to fix them.
Overall Excellent service, enjoyed the easy tone of the support staff when I called with issues. The support rep stayed on the line till we were all satisfied that the problem had been resolved.
Lack of Wizards to step you through set up of the Notifications, Templates and Distribution Lists.
The amount of custom setups that can be done is great and when integrating with other products this one becomes even more powerful.
It seems that it sometimes has troubles integrating with Cisco CUCM software.
It functions very reliably and the number of bell schedule supported as well as zones for making announcements are more than adequate for us.
I may move the VM to our data center. The interface is intimidating to non-technical staff.
Overall a great product and definitely useful in school districts with the ever growing threat of active shooters and other emergencies.
