FG Farrah G. AVPSA Education Management ### "Easy to use after initial set-up" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 31, 2022 Pros Once you set up the program, it runs almost automatically without having to remember to send out texts. This means you need to know in advance what you'd like to communicate out. Cons Setting up the program initially took some time because we needed to anticipate the entire semester in advance. After the initial set-up, maintenance gets easier over time.

Assoc Director Higher Education ### "A good basic product for texting" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 5, 2020 Pros Once you figure out how to use their product it's easy to send texts to the various groups you plan to text. Cons Would love for them to improve their reporting capabilities. We currently track everything manually- they don't have a way to tie back clicks from links used in messages back to users like how you can track with most email providers. They also don't track the number of opt-outs per text you send so you have to manually pull that data.

Admissions Counselor Education Management ### "A tiresome and buggy program." 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 July 27, 2020 Although there has been a great benefit in the opportunity to reach students via text. I would not recommend this program for the cost and the overall frustrating experience that I and my team have had. We regularly joke about the frustrations this software has brought us. I would seriously consider other options for picking this one. Pros I like that I can text hundreds of students using my laptop rather than my phone. Students are more receptive to texts than to email so I love that I can use a more reliable form of communication. Cons There are several aspects to this program I found to be very frustrating. I have over 30,000 students in the program and to search one student takes way too much time because their search tool is absolutely broken. It will find any name that contains any of the letters I put in the search, so if I search "Amy" every name with an "A, M or Y" will pop up and I have to look through hundreds of names to find the student. I work on a team and it is very focused on just working for a single person. It doesn't notify you if someone else is texting the same person as you at the same time, so I could be looking up some information for a student and when I reply I can see that someone else, or in one case three others, have responded to that individual. When adding people to the system it is corrupted regularly and I cannot find the students I have added to the system. There have been times when the phone numbers are added but the names aren't, but I can't search by phone number for some reason. I can't set up individual program texting for my specific group, only my director can for the full team so it's not scoped to a personal level.

Director of Digital Marketing Higher Education ### "Does what you need" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 12, 2019 I find it serves our purposes given our budget, however, I expect more out of a text message platform. Pros The best feature of SignalVine is the ease of use for quick messages sent to a large group of people. The "Quick Message" feature is crucial and the ability to schedule out multiple message is excellent. Also - the customer service and account managers are incredible, quick to respond, and attentive. Cons The uploading of lists is very finicky and requires a learning curve an a lot of customer support. Also, to schedule a message triggered responses requires you to work with your rep as you cannot do this on your own within the platform - same goes for sending gifs or images.

Big time saver! Cons The student look-up could be a bit easier, with fewer clicks; or I wish that it were connected directly into our student database so that you could text with one click!

Consultant and Author ### "Three years of great service and excellent results" 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 0/10 May 7, 2018 Pros Signal Vine is really easy and intuitive to use. Students engage with it very well. The customer support team is wonderful, fast, friendly, and extremely efficient and competent. I loved it when I started using it, and they just keep making it better. Cons There's really nothing about it that I don't like. My least favorite thing perhaps, is writing new scripts because that's a but tedious and time consuming, but it's also what I get paid for!

AU Anonymous User NASA Education Coordinator Higher Education ### "Great Team to guide you through a successful promotional plan" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 7, 2018 The ability to communicate with students who do not always use email as their primary way to communicate with the world. Texting really does create an ability to connect with users that can not be had through an email. Pros The ability to create variables to individualize program messaging. I enjoying being able to send messages quickly either through my phone or on my computer. I like seeing the stats so I can see my engagement with my students. Cons It does take a little bit of time to get used to the software. I would like MMS messaging to be easier to use. I would also like it if I can send a message via the "pop up window" instead of going into the conversation, much like the pop up that happens if the user creates a red dot.
