DeskAlerts

About DeskAlerts
DeskAlerts is an internal communications solution which allows businesses to send alerts to staff via any corporate devices, including PCs, mobile devices, tablets, and more. Businesses can utilize one single platform to send out alerts to over 10,000 users in a matter of seconds, to ensure everyone receives important business announcements and updates.
With DeskAlerts, management can send pop-up desktop alerts to employees' screens that block their work until the message has been read. Alerts can also be sent out to employees via mobile push notifications, SMS messages, or emails, meaning alerts will always be received and seen by all employees. The DeskAlerts software automatically tracks and stores alert activity and views with centralized storage that provides instant reporting on user receipt and message views. Businesses can create secure and seamless workflows with DeskAlerts’ integration capabilities with Active Directory, SSO, and API integrations.
When there is any sudden issue or critical situation, users with the relevant permissions can instantly notify all employees or specific departments. DeskAlerts allows users to utilize one interface to directly send a newsletter or announcements about important company events to employees' desktops or mobile devices. These messages can’t be skipped, ignored or minimized and will even appear on screens that are locked, on standby or on screensaver mode.

Good layout and capabilities.
Delegation is possible to allw users to use the tool for their own purposes.
Cons
Deployement of agent was had but they enhanced the auto-deploy feature (not yet used) and self branding customisation remains limited even if the message content is fully customisable.

Poor, support team tried to fix issues but never could. We requested a refund and were denied, after making our case and explaining we hadn't been able to use the product we were simply ignored.
Pros
We didn't find anything that we liked about the software except for the demo
Cons
We spent over a month trying to get it to work and it had problem after problem, from having to have prerequisite software installed, multiple support articles that were different, no resolution on issues for example the cloud server would stall and stop sending alerts, had to request support to reboot over and over, no resolution

DeskAlerts review
Reviewed on 2022/03/28
Pros
I've used DeskAlerts to deliver IT warnings regarding planned downtime's and technical challenges. While our email platform has been having troubles, DeskAlerts allows individuals to view the notifications even if they are undergoing other technological issues.
Cons
It might be challenging to determine whether users have seen published messages. Some issues, such as the inability to stop the display are fixed swiftly by the support staff in no time, which i should give more credits to the support and developer team.
