BURLINGTON, Mass. – March 17, 2021 – Everbridge, Inc.

The honor marks the third consecutive year that Everbridge IT Alerting received this distinction.
“Everbridge won a Peer Award on top of the #1 Leader spot and held steadily on our site for the past four years,” said Russell Rothstein, Chief Executive Officer, IT Central Station. “This past year of COVID-19 led to a surge of online peer reviews, which meant tech professionals, buyers, marketers and analysts gained access to a plethora of in-depth, fresh content as they compare and select the best software and services on IT Central Station. This Peer Award serves as a testament to the leadership role Everbridge maintains in IT alerting and incident management solutions.”
