# Notifications
Netdata supports two ways to send alert notifications: **from Netdata Cloud** or **from the Netdata Agent**.
You can use either—or both—depending on how your infrastructure is set up.
:::tip Need alerts fast?
Use Cloud for a centralized setup, or Agent for full control on each node.

## Notification Methods
### Netdata Cloud (Centralized)
Netdata Cloud collects alert data from all connected nodes and sends notifications through your configured integrations.
→ [See supported Cloud integrations](/docs/alerts-and-notifications/notifications/centralized-cloud-notifications)
**Popular integrations:**
- Amazon SNS
- Slack
- Discord
- Splunk
- Microsoft Teams
---
### Netdata Agent (Local)
The Agent sends alerts directly from the node, even if it's offline or not connected to the Cloud.
→ [See supported Agent integrations](/docs/alerts-and-notifications/notifications/agent-dispatched-notifications)
**Popular integrations:**
- Email
- Slack
- PagerDuty
- Twilio
- Telegram
- Opsgenie

## Which One Should I Use?
Choose the option that fits your needs:
| Use Case | Best Option |
|---------------------------------------|---------------|
| Manage multiple nodes centrally | Netdata Cloud |
| Fewer configs, alerts from one place | Netdata Cloud |
| Full control at node level | Netdata Agent |
| No internet or external dependencies | Netdata Agent |
| Fine-tuned control per system/service | Netdata Agent |
| Want both simplicity and flexibility | Use **both** |
