On Call Made Easy

Reviewed on 2017/01/19

We have a fairly complicated OnCall Procedure/Rotation that most applications cannot handle to the ability that xMatters can. It was pain free to be setup in and the Android App complements the website perfectly. Easy to use, easy to customize, and a powerful tool.

Our Company utilizes 2 integrations with xMatters. Control-M which not only allows on-call personnel to perform first level support from anywhere via the mobile app and direct interaction with Control-M to gater Output and take actions directly with Control-M.
We also utilize an integration with Service-Now incident reporting to get the needed support quickly for other IT problems outside of our batch processing enviroments.
xMatters enables the right personnel to get involved quickly and also provides direct accountability which our managemnt teams appreciate.

Room for improvement

At KARL STORZ it confounds us that we are not able to send notifications to entire organization without jamming the switchboards. There are also functionalities that need to be enhanced to give my team the ability to fully use the system, i.e., with a dynamic recipient list only the first ten names can be seen, not able to scroll through the others. This showed up when a common name was request and there was more than 10 of them and there was not way to confirm the correct one was included.

This is a great tool for use with an ITSM tool OR directly connected to your DCIM, BMS, or stand alone. We currently have this integrated with our ServiceNow platform and it manages our Minor and Major incident processes very effectively. Thier app is great to use, you can send, receive and respond to notifications. When doing ITSM right, xMatters is the choice you should make.

We are using xmatters for last 7 + yrs, we moved to Cloud solution in 2015 and found no issues, which were there for 'On Premise'. Customer and Tech support is excellent and Cust Relation Manager are very eager to help you. We are using xmatters for our critical Control M Alert function and so far our End Users are Happy.

Ease of Use and Administration

I am a software administrator, and this is the least "problematic" application I administer. There are plenty of tips and tricks for users, as well as videos for training, etc.

When you do have an issue - be it technical or user driven, however, these are probably the most responsive and helpful support teams I have had the fortune of dealing with. Thank you xMatters, you keep me out of trouble with my users!

Communications software

We use xMatters for both business continuity events and IT on-call management. xMatters has greatly simplified our on-call rotation planning and communications. We have found the tool easy enough to use that our 100 or so business continuity planners can use the tool to exercise their call trees and can utilize the tool to send targeted communications.

xMatters makes things easier

xMatters has made contacting on-call personnel a much easier process. Our company would use excel sheets for each department who had people on call. There was room for user error from not updating the excel sheet on the manager side to no reading the right phone number on the user side. With xMatters it take the hunting for the right team and number out of the equation. The users are able to search for the team they need and can easily message them using the built in messaging feature. Also, having on call individuals being able to immediately join bridges is a huge advantage. xMatters will continue to benefit out company in more ways when we integrate with ServiceNow.

xMatters is a very robust product and easy to use. It provides me with a tool that gives me the needed automation in order to save cost for call outs.

xMatters makes incident management comms easy

Reviewed on 2017/01/10

We have now been using xMatters for 9 months and have been impressed with both its functionality and its flexibility. The team that helped us to set up the system have been helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. The system has allowed us to create a number of pre-filled scenarios to send urgent comms to a wide variety of user groups and to easily set up holiday rotas.
The one area which didn't work well was the phone alerts where the combination of American and English 'voices' gave a disjointed feel to the message.
Overall I really like the system and would recommend others to consider using it.

Very Great Product

I use xMatters on a daily basis as the SME for my company. The product is very easy to use and does its intended function very well. The best part in my experience is the very quick and knowledge customer support that I receive no matter the question.

Great experience with xMatters

Reviewed on 2017/01/23

I've been an xMatters customer for over 5 years now - used it while at my previous company and then implemented it at my current company. During this time I have seen great improvements with the features and integrations. The quality of the product is superior to some of the other's that I've seen on the market. Customer Service is more than just a support function, they truly work with you, providing guidance and help you build out a process catered to your organization.

The layer is complex to configure, and Is not very user friendly, works fine but could be better if we can manage more setting to configure the shift rolls.

xMatters is a company that listens to their clients' needs. Both the web and mobile applications are user-friendly and always improving based on feedback. The support and engagement from the staff is superior. Everything you need is on their website providing transparency and trust to potential customers.

xMatters is a nice alerting solution

Reviewed on 2017/01/09

We have been running xMatters now with positive results. The ability to create multiple alerting schedules, different escalation criteria, and different communication plans makes this a great tool to work with. The tool is very easy to understand, and easy to train our end users on. The team from xMatters has also been very helpful and communicate well.
However we have been desperately waiting to get the ability to put recipients on the subscription menu as an option. This will greatly help out our managers who want to be alerted as an FYI but not have to be directly placed in an oncall rotation for all of their groups. PLEASE make this available soon!
Thanks!

Unimpressed

Reviewed on 2017/01/19

I have no comment as to Support or Value, I am only a user. My Sys admin uses support, and I don't know what was paid for the product. As a user, I find the interface to be extremely confusing, even frustration. Even after I've figured out how to do something, next time I need to do it, I have to re-figure out how. Not intuitive. Also, the process to replace a person in rotation (say for a short vacation) is unnecessarily complicated.

We recently switched to xMatters from another mass notification program. xMatters is leaps and bounds ahead of other systems out there. The program is easy to use, and we love that we can create messages and pre-record them to execute on a moments notice. This has allowed us to improve our communication in different ways now that we can reach folks easily and efficiently. xMatters is a great tool!

Our company uses xMatters as a notification tool for our global service delivery. It sends a specific alert message to our engineers so they can respond to urgent tickets raised by our clients in time. The xMatters support team is very responsive and helps us customize the platform based on our business requirements. I look forward to seeing more features and reporting functionalities from xMatters soon.

TTS quality

Reviewed on 2017/01/12

TTS quality can be inconsistent. So much so that we're looking for ways to minimize its use. It's not uncommon to receive complaints after a mass notifies from our internal user community including VIPs. We're continuing to work with support (high marks) to address.

xMatters - Easy to use

Reviewed on 2017/02/09

xMatters communication tool is simple to load (via the app) or use via the web and easy to train others on for use if you have teams in the field, other offices, etc. I've used multiple tools in this realm and this ranks up there with the others, if not even better for ease of use.
