Events and Media Manager Higher Education ### "Localist" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 8, 2020 Overall, I enjoy using Localist for my department. We are able to advertise many events to a broader network because of this software. Pros Localist is very easy to use. I love that I can "tag" other departments so my event shows up on multiple pages and gains more traction. Cons The one thing I would improve is the way the widget looks when integrating it on my department's personal website.

Deputy editor of campus communications Higher Education ### "Generally gets the job done, however, a couple of backend tweak would make life easier" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 November 6, 2019 Overall, I've had a good experience and there are a couple little things that could be refined. Pros I like how quick and easy it is to add an event, especially with the fields that auto-populate, such as the location field, linking the content to a map. Cons As a lead administrator who is in charge of approving events in our campus's pending queue, there's no distinction for me to know which events were saved by other admins on campus who will publish the content themselves (once they're ready), and which events are for me and me team to approve and publish. Reasons for choosing Localist I don't know Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 26, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Elizabeth! BS Bryan S. Assistant Web Director Education Management ### "Wouldn't be my first choice" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 September 30, 2019 The beginning was very nice. Getting rid of the image bank was a great idea. After the initial email creation, it was very easy to put event newsletters together. Pros The approval of events is pretty easy and it's nice to have all the info involved - when and who submitted it. Cons Mostly I don't like the new setup. I don't like having to program in the header, body, footer. It makes me feel like I have to do that every time. They should have had videos from the start, but didn't. So nothing was really clear with the new site. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Hey Bryan! Thanks for your feedback. I've passed your comments along to our support team as well. MK Michelle K. Coordinator, Academic Operations Education Management ### "Ease of Use" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 30, 2019 Pros I enjoy the ease of use and the ability to login through multiple methods. This is especially useful for students and other visitors trying to connect to our interface. It is easy to train someone to use the software. Cons I like the overall experience so do not have any cons for the software at this time. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for such a positive review, Michelle! JK Joe K. Advisor Education Management ### "localist review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 30, 2019 Pros Localist is easy to use and flows well. Cons Better tracking needed, so you can follow approval process. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for your review Joe! CT Craig T. Web Developer & Designer Higher Education ### "Developer rarely gets involved." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 30, 2019 Fantastic. Great product, great support. Pros My favorite aspect of our Localist implementation is that, as our institution's sole developer, I don't have to worry about it. We skinned it, connected it to a few services, and it just runs. On occasion I need to update a style or template element, or generate a new widget, but otherwise I just stay out of it and our office manager handles the rest! Cons The only aspect I didn't like (pre-theme builder days) was the effort required to skin it ... but they totally overhauled that years ago, so it's a non-issue! Reasons for choosing Localist Localist seemed the best fit for the complete web presence overhaul we were undergoing at the time. It was stylable, connectable, and easy to handle. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for your positive review Craig! EJ Eric J. Web Systems Director Higher Education ### "Should be so much better" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 September 30, 2019 It looked like a promising product but since the first month of implementation, we ran into a wall with support. Anything outside of their tight scope of functionality was not supported and would not even be considered. When things break all you have is an email address to post your issue and then wait. Pros The calendar has a nice look and has a lot of features integrated into it. It has been stable and reliable throughout the time we've used it. Cons Support has been generally terrible. Anything outside of the basic functionality is simply not supported and they have been unwilling to implement ANY requests that we've made. On several occasions the answers provided by support have been blatantly wrong and only through our own channels have we been able to fix problems that the vendor created. Their API is read-only so making any types of changes require using the GUI which is a nightmare when trying to manage hundreds of events and users. The calendar has little to no spam protection so users can post hundreds of bogus reviews while trying to farm clicks on our platform. Again, support had no solution for this and did not offer to help remove these. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Ouch, I'm sorry to read your review Eric, but your detailed feedback is constructive. I've sent your reviewto a couple of senior people over here at Localist to see what we can do better for you. You'll be hearing from someone soon! KP Kristen P. Digital Project Manager Education Management ### "Localist is great platform for University calendar" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 30, 2019 Pros I like that the platform is very user friendly. We train users around the university to add events and is it extremely helpful to be user friendly. Cons Sometimes we find some buys within the software. Another thing is that sometimes there are items that we can't customize to our university. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for your positive review Kristen! RB Rick B. Director of Digital Services Higher Education ### "Localist- review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 30, 2019 Pros The ability to add widgets to various digital properties Cons Some of the admin UI in unintuitive. We also found an issue with users being able to create their own avatar, in some cases the avatar could be offensive and there is no way to easily "report" that to the calendar admins. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for your positive and detailed review Rick! AU Anonymous User Graduate Assistant Higher Education ### "Simple and Easy to Use" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 30, 2019 Pros I like this product because it allowed us to customize it for our organization's intent. Cons Sometimes the cache takes a really long time to update so you can't see the difference you made to featured items automatically. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 1, 2019 Thanks for your review!
