iLert Reviews
Pros
Incident management tools are fantastic, The on-call alerting helps us reliably ensure that alerts are actioned perfectly without delay.
Overall the experience with this new system have been very positive. The support received from the team at iLert has been excellent.
Overall it has been great experience. We are using it and found it so useful for on call support and continue to use it.
Ilert filled in this gap perfectly as it had all the desired options especially setting up a schedule for our on call roster.
Cons
First I user iLert in Telekommunikation branch of the Company , now I working in the IT department and we are using the System for alerting if parts of the Infrastruktur fails.
When alert message comes, no incident# in that! that is major problem. To know that I need to login to the tool.
Mobile sms are horrible, it takes about 1 hour or more to deliver a notification about the ilert.
Being on call duty is a no-brainer now. As long as my phone is on, I'll get alerted.

"Perfect monitoring for our business"
Overall: Very pleased with the migration, set up for all heartbeat monitors and creation of status pages for our customers with iLert, which are critical to us delivering services and supporting customers.
Pros: A lot of our systems are hardened services which cannot be monitored through HTTP requests, therefore we rely heavily on heartbeat monitoring which works flawlessly in iLert. All of our services are set up with regular intervals to check-in, and we're notified immediately if there's ever an issue
Cons: Everything works as expected and nothing that I would class as a negative for the product - the only minor improvement I would make is to create an alert action template (as I tend to have to create the same alerts when creating a new heartbeat check), though I'm sure there's a technical reason for that - and the process is very straight forward.

"ilert in our MSP"
Pros: Incident management tools are fantastic, The on-call alerting helps us reliably ensure that alerts are actioned perfectly without delay.
Cons: At first the integrations where not all there but they have since developed a lot more to help us and upon request make it even easier.
"Most important features of ilert are end of life "
Pros: Online monitoring &Realtime notifications of
Cons: When we start using Ilert we based our decision on the features uptime monitoring and alerting. Exactly these features are cancelled by Ilert within the next year. So i am not very positive when i consider that within approx 2 years of our start with Ilert we need to choose another supplier and redesign our processes
"iLert - Powerful tool to level up your support easily"
Pros: Introducing iLert into existing Tooling around Monitoring was very easy. We needed no adaption at all, our systems could be connected to any needed system quite easily. Moreover we searched and found our On-Duty scheduling options in iLert: Easy, flexible & straight forward.
Cons: Hardly anything I could think of besides the richness of features - which was not really an issue for us as iLert provides everything we need and more.

Cons: So far, no negative aspects or missing features have been identified that need to be addressed.
"iLert is without alternative in on-time notifications"

"Extremely powerful"
Pros: I love the fact that the product simply integrated into my monitoring platform.
Cons: Nothing negative about the product, other than pricing.
"Gutes Produkt, schnell integriert"
Pros: Wir haben uns für Ilert entschieden, da die Integration in bestehende Alarmierungen über den Versand von Mails sehr einfach ist. Die Multi-Chanel Alarmierung über Anruf, Mail oder WhatsApp hat uns überzeugt. Der erste Prozess war nach 10 Minuten eingerichtet und funktionsfähig.
Cons: Wie immer sind für ein mittelständisches Unternehmen wie uns die Zahlungsmethoden (nicht auf Rechnung) und die Datenschutzbestimmungen die größte Hürde. Funktional keine Beschwerden.
"Chosen as a new paging system for On Call Teams"
Overall: Overall the experience with this new system have been very positive. The support received from the team at iLert has been excellent. Very helpful and quick to respond.We were looking to replace our paging system, and have found iLert to be able to handle our requirements and provide more options for proactive monitoring being fed into On Call Teams.
Pros: Very easy to schedule different teams. Tailored towards incident management, rather than just being a generic paging system.Clear and easy app for users to view their calendar and to make short notice swaps within the team.Additional monitors that can feed into the on call team, not solely used for customer support requests. Enables proactive monitoring to be addressed in real time for non critical systems as well.
Cons: All options from the top level subscription should be available as Add On services like the Uptime Monitors.We do not need to move to the higher subscription for its core features, but would like to utilise the additional functionality. EG Status Pages
Vendor Response
"Good pager app"
Pros: Easy to implement with webhooks and easy to use. Good Android app with push messages.
Cons: I have not found a feature which I don't like so far.
"A solid product for on-call duty"
Overall: Its a good product that fits our use case of different teams monitoring different services, where each services are also living under different environments. This requires a complex level of customization of notifications & alerts, and ilert works perfectly.
Pros: - Integration with monitoring software like Zabbix, and supporting their latest releases very quickly. - Separate API per environment allows more flexible grouping. - Clean escalation policies with step-by-step configuration. - On-Call scheduling shown in visually colorful way. - A wonderful reporting tool to view past alerts/notifications and generate regular reports.
Cons: - Editing on-call scheduling requires to figure out interaction (where to click, what to add etc.). A help/guide inside the software would be helpful. - Removing an on-call person from a period in between schedule, changes the whole schedule up for everyone next in queue, hence needs to do adjustments for all the next on-callers.
