STORM CMS [Crisis Management System] can be utilised in various scenarios and operational environments, from Oil and Gas operations to major global events. Once an Alert is generated (either on STORM or via the App), a notification is immediately sent out to the Crisis Management Team members (via email, SMS and on the App). Once team members access the plan on STORM, they are presented with their own specific actions within the plan. All updates done on the system are stored on a timeline which can be accessed by the team when required. Features: - Fully customisable to specific client needs - Available at point of use on any device - Alerts can be generated through various means (Online, By Phone and Panic Buttons) - Situational Awareness Mapping of critical sites and useful location - Integration with third party systems (e.g. GPS tracking) - Full audit trail of user activity

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: STORM CMS at every 2 months against ShowsManager's every 10 months. ShowsManager's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
