DeskAlerts provides emergency communication and employee notification software for critical, operational, compliance, and day-to-day internal messages. It can send desktop pop-ups, mobile notifications, SMS, digital signage, email, screensavers, wallpapers, lockscreens, and scrolling tickers. Messages can be sent immediately, scheduled for a specific time, or set to recur. Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID integrations support targeting departments, groups, organizational units, individuals, or machines. DeskAlerts tracks delivery and acknowledgement by user and device, with charts and CSV export for audit or compliance. Integrations include Microsoft Teams, REST API, SMTP, and SMS gateways. Organizations can use an on-premise installation or a managed cloud instance hosted by DeskAlerts on AWS. The cloud option is not self-service: DeskAlerts handles deployment, setup, and maintenance. The vendor lists GDPR, DPA, and NIST 2.0 compliance, 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.
