Notifii Track vs Loomly: Which is a better fit?

Dan M.: Hi, my name is Dan. I'm a director of auxiliary services. On a scale of one to five, I would give Notifii track a five out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. The software that we used prior to Notifii Track was a product called Pitney Bowes Arrival. While it had a lot of great features, there were some limitations involved. We weren't able to send text messages to our students, making changes to the software was very, very expensive, and it involved a pretty significant upfront cost for a server, the software, specific hardware that would only work with that. Those were just some significant barriers for us over the long run. The reasons that we ended up switching to Notifii Track were numerous, but first of all, it was a software as a service model. It provided a very affordable monthly rate, including all of the support. We didn't have to pay for an expensive server or any big investments up front, so we really liked that. Secondly, we were able to run the software from an iPad. The software allows you to scan packages in and out using the camera on the iPad. It'll actually read barcodes. You can take photos of the packages that you're sending to people, and then you can also take pictures of the person signing for the package. That was a huge, a huge feature. The other big thing was that we could send text messages and emails very quickly to our students and staff members, letting them know that they had a package, as well as the fact that they would get reminder emails on a regular basis if they hadn't picked up their package. The last thing that we really appreciated was the fact that we could do a mass import of our student information directly into Notifii Track and all doing that in a FERPA-compliant environment, that's a really important piece in higher education. Those are the reasons we really enjoyed and decided to switch over to Notifii Track. Onboarding with Notifii Track Was very, very simple. One of the best about it was the fact that we got a 30-day free trial. We worked with the team at Notifii Track and they got us all set up, even offered to send us equipment to borrow in the meantime. After that 30-day trial, we were able to get all of our student data loaded in very quickly. The system is very intuitive, very straightforward. The very few times we've had issues with the software, the support team has been fantastic in getting back to us very quickly. Getting on board and getting up and running with Notifii Track was literally a breeze. Some advice I'd have for anybody considering Notifii Track would be to think about just upfront costs. Obviously, Notifii Track has very little upfront costs, aside from a few small hardware pieces. Then the ongoing month-to-month contract is just so affordable. Also think about how you're currently communicating with your recipients. Are you able to send text messages to them? That was a really big deal for us. Email's great, but being able to send those text messages and getting that right to the student right away was a really, really big deal. In addition, being able to query packages and have that historic data, that was just super helpful. Consider how much data you have access to looking backwards when you need to check and see when a package was checked in or checked out. But overall, we've been incredibly satisfied with this product.

Kelly H.: My name is Kelly and I am the founder of my company, and I give Loomly five out of five. And for more reviews like this, please click the link below. Before my company and my clients used Loomly, we were using Hootsuite. We were using the paid version. Although, Hootsuite did what it was supposed to do, we were looking for more of a better user-friendly model for our clients, something very easy where they could easily see the post, they can easily approve the post. And so that's why we decided to go with Loomly, because only from the contributor and the editor standpoint, from the client standpoint, it's very easy for them to just go through the post and say, "Yes, I like this," and if they don't like it, they can leave a comment and we can make the changes. So that's, again, why we decided to go with something more user-friendly and a little bit more just pleasing on the eyes and easier for our clients to use. So there are several reasons why we chose to go with Loomly for my company. One of the big reasons was because, for my team, it is very easy to publish our content in there and to create our content in there and you have a really beautiful snapshot of what it would look like on all the social media channels that you're publishing to. Another reason we chose it is for the client interface. Our clients, it takes a quick onboarding session to teach them how to use the program and they're pretty much often running. And then also for price, I think it is very, very affordable for small businesses. My company, myself, is a small business, although we are growing, it is a small business, and I do like the features and the price and the customer support from Loomly has been just nothing but amazing. Getting started with Loomly was very easy. I, myself, in previous positions have used several different social media schedulers and Loomly was by far one of the easiest. When I brought different team members on who are now part of the company, having them learn the program was even easier. And then when we bring the clients on, I've had not one client complain about it. They love the interface and it's such an easy program to use and the onboarding process is very, very, very simple. So if you're on the fence and you're looking at different social media publishing programs, Loomly, again, I have tried several for my company and for other companies that I've been a part of, and Loomly to me has been by far one of the easiest programs to integrate into our company and to our business. Again, the clients love, and it's very simple. It's very easy to use. The calendars are very well mapped out. And then when you put the post in, you can see the post, you can see what it looks like. And so, if you really want something that is easy to use, and especially if you have a team that is helping with your social media efforts, I would really suggest Loomly because to me, again, it's very easy, it's very simple, and again, for the price and for what you get out of Loomly, I would highly recommend it.
