NetSupport Notify is a focused software product providing on-demand desktop alerts, emergency notifications, popup alerting and one-way messaging on Microsoft Windows and Mac operating systems. It scales to the largest of enterprises, providing the real-time status of notifications and acknowledgements as well as delivering pre-scheduled alerts and notifications. External services are not needed; setup one or a number of notification gateways, deploy the agent software to all computers and the console software to all relevant operators. Alerts can be sent via a web based console obviating the need for software installation but retaining strict user security and control.
