What it is
DeskAlerts is emergency communication and employee notification software for critical, operational, compliance, and everyday internal messages. It can deliver communications through desktop pop-ups, mobile notifications, SMS, digital signage, email, screensavers, wallpapers, lockscreens, and scrolling tickers. Administrators can send alerts immediately, schedule them for a chosen date and time, or set recurring messages. Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID integrations support targeting by department, group, organizational unit, user, or machine. The system tracks delivery and acknowledgement by user and device, with charts and CSV export for audit or compliance work. Other listed integrations include Microsoft Teams, REST API, SMTP, and SMS gateways. DeskAlerts can be installed on-premise or run as a managed cloud instance hosted on AWS; the cloud setup and maintenance are handled by DeskAlerts. The vendor lists GDPR, DPA, and NIST 2.0 compliance, plus single sign-on, role-based publisher access, and encryption in transit and at rest. Pricing is on request and based on team size, starting with teams as small as 100 employees. A free trial is available.
