Buyer guide

This guide aims to help buyers decide which providers best meet their needs and budget.

The below table lists some alternatives to SIRV. You’ll find more alternative providers below the table, along with a description of their service.

Price

The prices shown are indicative and reflect past quotes or estimates. You’ll also find some providers charge installation fees. The price a buyer is quoted will depend on different factors such as, the number of users, countries or features required.

Risk Intelligence

Risk intelligence is actionable information about risks to business operations. Some providers such as Intelligence Fusion focus on security intelligence whereas others like Dataminr, will provide security and cyber intelligence.

Some providers offer intelligence for many different countries, which makes them ideal for international travellers.

Companies such as Dataminr will offer their intelligence for resale to other providers. These providers may not feature risk intelligence as a service but will procure and provide it as an additional service.

SIRV offers risk intelligence. However, unlike many providers, it does not use analysts to review its intelligence. Instead it uses artificial intelligence. This helps keep costs down.

Workplace travel

SIRV offers workplace travel information, designed to enhance the employee workplace experience. This notifies employees about changes that may impact their everyday journey to and from their UK work facility. For example, parking availability or delays to trains.

Notifications

Notifications are messages sent to one, many or all employees or interested parties. The notification can be sent via different modes of communication for example, email, text or social media. Everbridge are a well known notification provider.

Mass notifications to thousands of people often requires integration with internal Human Resource systems. SIRV offers integration but focusses on notifications through self-subscription. In other words, only employees that subscribe to SIRV receive notifications.

Incident management

Incident management helps facilities anticipate, manage and recover from incidents. The incident’s severity can range from graffiti on a building to a power outage disabling all operations.

Some providers such as VenuePro, focus on incident management for certain environments, in their case event venues.

SIRV is used for incident management in a variety of environments, from public venues to financial services.

Headquarters

The provider’s headquarters are listed to give a sense or origin and focus. Some providers such as Dataminr, have many offices in different countries. As a result, they will often supply global solutions for global business.

SIRV focusses exclusively on the UK.
