How Noggin’s Crisis Management Software Compares to the Competition

Introduction

Organizations today face a unique threat environment, sometimes described as “polycrisis,” forcing them to prioritize resilience.

To address the sharp uptick in compounding critical events, crisis management software providers like Noggin deliver digital tools that empower organizations to plan, coordinate, and streamline their response efforts to minimize the negative consequences of an incident, crisis, or emergency, then return operations to normal as quickly as possible.

Differences in the Crisis Management Software Market

But Noggin’s not the only player in the crisis management and critical event management markets.

What’s more, shrewd software buyers might want to know the differences. So, how does Noggin crisis management software compare to the competition?

Here is how Noggin compares:

Superior vision and innovation

Noggin’s leading principle is “Resilience is a global objective,” and we’ve retooled our product strategy accordingly. That’s led to the launch of Noggin Resilience, a one-of-a-kind integrated resilience workspace.

Unrivaled on the market, this ten-in-one setup enables organizations to streamline their software providers, by offering a centrally governed platform that consolidates diverse data sources.

And it hasn’t taken too long before the superior vision and innovation behind the integrated resilience management garnered plaudits, with commendations for the wide array of capabilities we provide to manage crisis management and critical event management.

Built from the ground up with a clear purpose in mind

We don’t cite these tributes to boast but to emphasize one common refrain – Noggin is built from the ground up with a clear purpose in mind. Meanwhile, many of our leading competitors in the space are not.

And that matters when it comes time to use the platform. Rigorously neutral judges praise our smooth frontend experience – we do a lot more than put digital versions of procedures into a mobile app.

On the other hand, some of our competitors have been built off of a dizzying backend of products. The user experience speaks for itself.

A full-service offering

It’s easy to call checklist-based solutions crisis management software, but that’s not an end-to-end solution.

Noggin is. We provide end-to-end functionality for preparedness, response, and recovery. Add to that, you get a full workflow and planning solution, which you can use for running exercises, after-action review, situational awareness, plans, workflows, etc.

Better configurability and flexibility

Plus, we’re flexible. A traditional frustration with deploying critical event management software is the lengthy implementation cycle. It’s not unheard of that cycles take upwards of a year before users can finally deploy. And those systems already come with hefty price tags.

Add to that, the development resources they pull from overburdened IT, and the ROI starts to point in the wrong direction.

Noggin’s not like that. We offer intuitive drag-and-drop designer tools that enable easy customization of the Noggin platform without the need for extensive technical expertise or external assistance.

We adapt our tech to your operations; where with some of our competitors, it often feels like the other way around. And that difference matters when you are trying to get staff out in the field to respond to incidents.

Integrated communications

The precipitous rise in crises means you need to be empowering stakeholders to make better informed decisions before, during, and after catastrophic events. That’s where robust crisis communications come in.

But not all of our competitors come equipped with integrated communications. That won’t help you.

Our platform does. With built-in crisis communication and collaboration tools like chat, email, SMS, voice, and app push messages, Noggin makes it easy to work in real-time with your team, better coordinate your response, and keep everyone informed.

Manages business as usual and safety

Crises may be becoming more prolific, but they aren’t happening every day.

What to use for business-as-usual? Many of our competitors haven’t answered that question.

We have. Our crisis management software provides configuration, situational awareness, in addition to full plan progress tracking.

Modern and mobile

In this day and age where anyone can work from anywhere and everyone needs to be everywhere, some of our competitors have still not mastered mobile.

Indeed, some of our competitors have limited mobile functionality, compared to their desktop version. That means some features aren’t accessible or user-friendly on mobile devices. For example, critical workspaces have to be designed twice – once for desktop and once for mobile.

Meanwhile, Noggin, a next-generation, crisis management solution, is fully mobile responsive, available on any device; and you only need to design your workspaces once.

Not All Crisis Management Software Providers are Created Equal

As crises increase in kind, cost, and intensity, crisis management software has become a must-have. Not all solutions will do, though.

From innovation to configurability to user experience and more, we outstrip the competition and have the accolades to prove it. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Demo our product for yourself.
