Carlton College of Sport Operations Lead Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic customer service and easy to use" March 10, 2022 4.0 Easy to use and great staff to work with. Really haven't had many issues at all with the platform, if I had they have been resolved or the staff have put it in the pipeline for development. Pros It is easy to use and the staff who work at rosterfy are always helping me and suggesting ways to improve our portal that make everything streamlined. It is user friendly, not only on an admin end but also for our users, which is very important. We have set up automations for reminders and incorporated a feedback system. Cons We would like rosterfy to have an app as the majority of our users are between the ages of 18-23. Review Source LG Lori G. Development Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Rosterfy Review" November 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Great for large organizations. Here at Blessings of Hope, we see 200-300 volunteers daily at 3 different locations. Rosterfy helps us to manage these effectively. I especially like the endless options. There's so much you can do in this platform, from customizing verbiage to setting specific permissions, and much more. The customer support team has been amazing. They are kind and prompt in responding. Cons The most difficult thing for our company has been the implementation process. We switched to Rosterfy from a super simplistic, basic volunteer management system. While Rosterfy's endless capabilities are a perk for sure, it does take a lot of time and training to get a team of 20 staff familiar with the ins and outs of the program. Switched from [Volgistics](https://www.capterra.com/p/80509/Volgistics-Volunteer-Management/)[EBMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/174005/EBMS/) We outgrew the previous system (Volgistics), and wanted to combine into one what we were previously doing in 2 systems. Review Source RT Rebecca T. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Misleading on features" November 14, 2024 3.0 Again, we were completely misled about the features of the program, now silent and we are still not fully onboarded, so we paid a significant amount of money for a half-set up system that barely works. Pros It is able to do a lot, just not anything we needed. Cons First, we were completely misled about the program's capabilities. The nature of our volunteer program is a bit different but we were told the 3 main things were were hoping to accomplish, we were told these things were no problem, when in truth, we are not able to do a single critical piece of our program. Some of these asks could have been accomplished using a free VMS system, but we chose Rosterfy as we liked the customization and these 3 main features we needed seemed easier and seamless (had it worked like we were told.) It is also extremely difficult to set up. You need to be very tech-literate and will require a full-time person dedicated to setup and management. It is not intuitive at all, multiple checkpoints to remember for the simplest thing. It is also very difficult to learn when you are rushed through multiple pieces into a one-hour session. Some people may learn like that, but I found this extremely difficult. Difficult to remember what you need to do when you actually have to set it up on your own. It does not seem like your average volunteer manager can use it without significant training and all of their time dedicated to data/system management. Very expensive for what you are getting and limits on amount of people who use the system.

Seemed most intuitive, not the case.

Director of Volunteers Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rosterfy is awesome" May 4, 2020 5.0 Overall experience has been phenomenal. The Rosterfy team is very supportive with issues and setup of the system. In addition, they truly listen to your needs and take the time to find a way to develop a feature to support that need. Pros Very simple to use for admin and for the user. Very customizable to your needs. Cons There is some funky coding involved in some of the setup. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang Volunteer](https://www.capterra.com/p/144845/InitLive/) Reason for choosing Rosterfy Cost, features, and overall look and feel of the program. Switched from [ChronoTrack](https://www.capterra.com/p/139952/ChronoTrack-Race-Registration/) Chronotrack is not a volunteer registration platform. We simply worked with what we had at the time until we could switch. Review Source Response from Rosterfy July 13, 2020 Thanks for your kind feedback Annie. Great to hear that our product has helped Spartan Race to enhance the volunteer experience! BC Becky C. HR Content Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Customer Service and Easy to Learn" May 6, 2022 4.0 Pros Our Senior Client Success Manager’s level of commitment and communication is phenomenal. She is always available to answer our questions and provide tailored ideas and input for our specific needs. We really appreciate and use the groups and reporting features regularly. Cons Rosterfy lacks some customizable features, but our Senior Client Success Manager is always willing to add our suggestions to Rosterfy’s feature requests list. It would also be amazing if Rosterfy had an app version. Reason for choosing Rosterfy Our company used Microsoft Excel and needed to find a volunteer portal/management system that streamlined our processes and reduced time on task. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Rosterfy’s capabilities and automations are more robust than Microsoft Excel. The concept of templatizing mass email communication was also appealing. Review Source BJ Brie J. Sports Admin Assistant Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Value and User Friendly" February 25, 2021 5.0 We have had a wonderful experience from our first introduction. Everyone we have encountered has been more than helpful. When we have questions or concerns I feel like they are addressed in a timely manner. Pros With a flow of between 175 and 250 users through out the year, one of my main concerns was pricing. With Rosterfy's packages, we were able to find a deal that was both economical and more than met the needs of our department. Another area of concern was ease of use. We have a staff that range from young and tech savvy to older and not into technology. We have found that Rosterfy is easy enough for everyone to use. Cons There really is not anything so far that I do not like about Rosterfy. There was a bit of a learning curve, but that was expected, and not bad at all. Alternatives considered [ScheduleFlex](https://www.capterra.com/p/81956/ScheduleFlex/) Reason for choosing Rosterfy Shiftboard did not provide the reporting we were looking for. Their prices were much higher, and to be perfectly honest, their salesman was not very pleasant.

Volunteer Coordinator Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rosterfy offers possibilities" March 28, 2022 5.0 Rosterfy offers possibilities, beside the big range of options it already offers, the system is constantly improving and developing as well. Rosterfy learns from its customers and users, takes feedback on board and makes it possible. Pros Rosterfy offers a big range of options and possibilities. The system can be customized on so many levels which creates a professional look for the users. Rosterfy has an outstanding support team, who help with set-up and all questions along the way. It is an easy software to work with on a big scale, bulk import and updates are easily done . The option to add training modules and create interaction in the modules by adding questions was great to work with. Everything is in one place with Rosterfy: forms, trainings, database, shifts. Cons Usage on mobile phone is not ideal yet, their app is in development. Switched from [Deputy](https://www.capterra.com/p/167811/Deputy/) No database keeping and lack of options. Bulk updates not possible. Review Source DJ Dale J. National Events Volunteer Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "National Volunteer Management" December 10, 2021 4.0 Overall my experience with the Rosterfy platform and Rosterfy team has been positive with a few learning curves, the platform works for our needs on a daily basis as well as functioning at a higher level for our volunteers to access their own profiles when needed. Pros The features around creating events/shifts are easy to use to create and duplicate for the same format over and over, also the bulk communication system to contact volunteers is very handy for sending multiple communications to several volunteers across the country. Cons After we switched from Rosterfy 1 to the new Rosterfy version 2.0 we had data issues coming across but after working closely with my Rosterfy business manager we were able to fix said data problems. Another thing that was missed, which I think any new person using Rosterfy should receive is a training session with the Rosterfy team on all the elements and how it can be used to the highest capabilities. Review Source MKM Mary Kay M. Workforce Experience Director Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "WCH Oregon22 Review" August 16, 2022 5.0 We needed an application to register, track and schedule volunteers for a global sporting event. No one on our team had ever used Rosterfy. The application had the features and functionality needed and we had great customer service support. Without the support, we would not have been able to accomplish what was needed to manage 2,000+ volunteers. Pros Ease of use , ability to add custom fields unique to our event and customer service was great. The software makes sense - everything one would want to to track is available. Cons Inability to share reports - when a report is created it's not available for all users to use. Reason for choosing Rosterfy Ease of use + customer support - Rosterfy pledged to get us up and running in a short period of time. Review Source JRC Jun Rong C. Volunteer Management Executive Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great support team and feature improvements" August 15, 2023 4.0 I loved that the team keeps their ear to the ground when it comes to user feedback. They also gave us alternative work-arounds to the system. Rosterfy is also continually evolving to include new features, two thumbs up. Pros The system is easy to use, intuitive and I espectially loved the customisable fields (which would have required a change request for other systems). The use of colours and simple sign up process allowed the users to sign up for shifts intuitively with just a few clicks. Rosterfy also takes customer feedback into consideration when rolling out new features. For example, after feedback on the event calendar, the Rosterfy team (big shout out to David), rolled it out in the next update. Cons An audit trail would be great so that we can view changes made to the system and by whom. Another possibility to explore would be giving volunteers the ability to immediately sign into shifts using QR codes when they arrive. Review Source SN Shahroz N. Campaign Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An outstanding volunteer management tool" October 26, 2022 5.0 Pros Very easy to use which makes the platform my favourite choice in the space of volunteer management platform. UX/UI are simply great. Great customer services and it is highly customisable. Cons I have used it for more than 12 months now and we haven't encountered a problem with the platform yet. But it will be nice to have a mobile app. Review Source ND Nicole D. Volunteer Programme Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User-friendly for both administrators and end-users and provided simple, practical solutions" May 17, 2017 5.0 Core benefits were scheduling, reporting and communications portal. Provided a volunteer scheduling and management system for 3,200 volunteers from role offer stage through to Games-delivery stage Pros Ease of use for both administrators and end-users - simple functions like 'confirm' / 'decline' buttons built into email templates made the user experience easy even for those not great with technology. The communications portal provided easy and traceable communications with all volunteers, and comms templates ensured consistency across our programme. Dashboard views provided a quick view of status and progress across all roles and shifts. Generally, a very practical system that provides end-to-end workforce management and scheduling solutions. Cons Not having 'locations' for each shift displayed on a dashboard view made some aspects tricky, as we had x48 different locations for WMG2017 Review Source MA Marisa A. Sports Marketing and Special Events Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rosterfy" December 3, 2021 4.0 Pros Ease of use and the opportunity to be able to rate the volunteers. Cons The "How-To" guides on the site weren't too helpful for me when starting out with the system. Reason for choosing Rosterfy The functions of the product were exactly what we were looking for at a reasonable price! Review Source PU Paul U. Volunteer Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overview of System" February 25, 2021 5.0 Great experience and one that I would recommend Pros The product is extremely user friendly and great for participants in our events. Additionally back end communication allows for admin or software user to automate responses and reminders. Cons Communication and organization within the groups feature. However, this has been addressed and solved. Switched from [eCoordinator](https://www.capterra.com/p/79211/eCoordinator/) To continue industry standard Review Source Response from Rosterfy March 16, 2021 Thanks for your feedback Paul! Great to hear that you and the team are enjoying Rosterfy. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with! - The Team at Rosterfy RW Rhys W. Workforce Manager Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "RLWC2017 Review- Feb 2017" February 9, 2017 4.0 In the early stages of use, the support, training and flexibility of the Rosterfy team has been outstanding. The team are receptive to "outside the box" thinking and provide recommendations to practical scenarios. The reporting aspects of the system are easy to export and the communication methods are straight forward to ensure the key people are reached with the right messaging. Pros The reporting aspects Communication methods Ability to customise application forms for a targeted recruitment approach Review Source VH Vinh H. Event Volunteer Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and effective rostering system" September 25, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Rosterfy has been great. I find the platform very easy to use and navigate, it's a great tool to organise and manage volunteers for our events. The help/search articles are very informative in times when I'm not quite sure how to do something. The customer service team are also very responsive to my questions if I am not able to find an answer. Pros Ease of use in tracking and managing volunteers for our events. I was able to pick up the platform with ease when I started within the organisation. The platform allows me to have a easy snapshot of registered users for our events. Their details are all in one place so I am able to access their information and send out communication very efficient and effectively. The SMS function is great as it generally has a faster response time when feedback/replies from volunteers is needed. Cons The platforms works perfectly for my needs. I'm yet to find anything I would improve. Review Source VT Victoria T. Staffing, Volunteer & Logistics Manager Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Building a Staff & Volunteer Management System " March 7, 2022 5.0 Rosterfy is very easy to use . It transformed the way in which we managed our staff and volunteers, allowing us to streamline and develop new processes to enhance our staff and volunteer engagement with LimeLight Sports. Pros Rosterfy is very easy to use and I love how it automates so many key functions needed to manage volunteers and staff. It allowed our team to move from manually inputting data into ExCeL, to information about our workforce's availability and sign up numbers being updated in real time on Rosterfy's platform. It has given us an easier way to communicate with our teams and I like how easy it is for volunteers and staff to sign up to shifts. Cons From my experience of Rosterfy, there wasn't many aspects of the software that I didn't like. There are currently only small improvements such as being able to categorise automations and being able to allocate an individual to a shift from the groups function, that I would like to see included. I would also love to see an app version developed, to make it easier for our teams to use Rosterfy whilst at events. Review Source MB Megan B. Volunteer Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Manage your volunteers with Rosterfy " December 7, 2021 4.0 Pros Rosterfy's customer service is outstanding. They are always willing to jump in and make sure your questions are answered timely and that the questions are answered fully. The upload functions to create an event are very customizable and easy to use. The report feature is robust and the functionality is easy to use and modify when needed. Cons The volunteer journey is confusing and not as intuitive. It's harder to find the shifts a volunteer might want to work. There are a lot of customizable fields which is great from an options standpoint but allows for missed steps and errors when setting up the event. Review Source RC Rory C. Direct Marketing Specialist Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Rosterfy has improved our volunteer management out of sight" May 30, 2023 5.0 We switched from another provider to Rosterfy because we needed something that will allow us to automate admin tasks and get a clear picture of our volunteer program. The improvement is huge, and it’s saved my a huge amount of time in my day to day role … plus it’s been easy to use and implement. Pros Operational visibility over all our volunteers and shiftsHours saved each week with admin we don’t have to do as it’s automatedHas all the features we needed, and the Rosterfy team supported with additional functionalityExcellent training and learning management features, the Rosterfy people were super helpful My tech team needed secure data and other compliance requirements which were metWe can meet reporting requirements with our screening of volunteers and audit trail Cons It doesn’t have a robust expense management system. It’s not really a problem for us as our volunteers just emailed expenses and we don’t get too many requests. Review Source RC Ryan C. Director Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rosterfy, it works." February 15, 2021 5.0 Rosterfy has been the perfect solution for our high volume, low contact workforce in the events industry (music festival hospitality) We found the system to be robust, and while requiring a significant time investment to configure it to our requirements the result has been a platform that has been praised by our staff and provided an overwhelmingly positive addition to our business. Our business has implemented multiple staffing platforms over the past few years without success so we are excited to have finally found a platform that we will be sticking with and one that can help grow our business into the future. Pros Benefits to our business have included: Automated onboarding allowing for faster acquisition of new staff. Staff event day attendance rates of 95% (up from 80% the previous year) Positive feedback from staff using the system Improved payroll speed and accuracy Reduction in overall HRM hours due to efficiencies in rostering, communication, training and payroll Increased business agility and ability to respond to changing requirements. Desired ROI The peace of mind that staff will show up Cons Back end administration took some time to learn and required reasonable time investment and computer literacy. as yet does not have a streamlined payroll integration. Review Source Response from Rosterfy March 16, 2021 Thanks for your kind review Ryan! Always great to hear that our clients love Rosterfy as much as we do. WA Waqas A. Campaign Marketing Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good platform but needs improvements in many areas" January 20, 2023 3.0 Pros Easy to setup and great customer care and services. Good for event scheduling and attendance tracking for volunteers Cons Needs a lot of work on features and pricing as it differs for all and other competitors offers good pricing within the same range Review Source RK Rachel K. Volunteer Coordinator Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use now but with a difficult start" July 3, 2020 4.0 Initial start was not great but since being able to have regular meetings with customer success manager we have been able to explain issues greater and adapt the portal to our needs. It has been good to have a product that enables us to make the volunteer journey smoother and to allow greater contact with volunteers especially during times where we are not able to interact with them in person. Pros \- Easy to navigate on volunteer side - Quick customer service responses on issues and regular updates about open tickets - Allows all processes linked to volunteer journey to be online - Filters on various screens are good - Nice to be able to customise parts of the system as you need them Cons Portal does not currently work in most optimal way for mobile devices. Not all help articles are clear to understand if you are a new user on the system Review Source Response from Rosterfy March 16, 2021 Thanks for your review Rachel. If the team can ever be of more assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. - The Rosterfy Team NA Natalie A. Manager - Volunteers and Spectator Services Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rosterfy review" March 11, 2024 3.0 Rosterfy is a moderately effective workforce management solution that aims to streamline the scheduling process. While it offers some notable features, it falls short in certain areas, mainly not intuitive when it comes to flows. Pros Customisation with brand. Ease of creating events and shifts. Account manager assistance. Cons Our demographic of volunteers to find the platform difficult to use. User experience. Wish there was a phone number for customer service, particularly on key operational periods when help with trouble shooting is required. Review Source CL Caitlin L. Senior Program Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly Customizable, Well Designed Software" June 25, 2020 5.0 Pros I loved the flexibility of this software. We manage a large workforce of both employees and volunteers AND we run year-long courses with repeating but sometimes irregular events. Finding a software that could cost-effectively and efficiently help us manage this was exhausting...until we found Rosterfy. The support has been amazing--personal and well-informed and the product has lived up to all it promised to be. Not only can we manage our workforce with much more organization, we are moving many other work functions onto the software (like training, time tracking, communication) because it handles them so well! Cons This software is complex and it takes a while to implement. It is worth the investment, but we did commit more time and resources to implementation than we were expecting. However, that could be largely due to the Pandemic that altered work for all of us. Reason for choosing Rosterfy We liked that we paid per administrator (plus a general fee) rather than by user. We have a highly volatile pool of users and a user based payment model did not work well for us. We also found the flexibility and depth of Rosterfy's system to be outstanding.

They are always quick to respond when I am experiencing issues with anything, and always making great updates to different parts in Rosterfy. Pros I like that I can pull reports with tons of information! I am able to pull check-in sheets, timesheets, and a ton others that make keeping updated information every simple for our company. Cons The integration with our background check was not as smooth as I had hoped, and it caused a lot of problems. I am hesitant to change background check companies again to avoid dealing with the same issues. Reason for choosing Rosterfy Rosterfy was used during the 2017 Super Bowl volunteer team, and we transferred all of that over to our company. Review Source Response from Rosterfy July 13, 2020 Thanks for your kind feedback Lauren. Regarding integrations, our CS team are always available to help with any new integrations you would like to pursue and we will do our best to make this as seamless as possible. Rosterfy looks forward to continuing to work with Harris County - Houston Sports Authority to help deliver a world class solution to volunteer engagement.
