It's so slow. Faculty hate it. It's so slow. Snails hate it. It's so slow. Pros It integrates with our student system. But that's about all I like. Cons Go to Google and search "Presence.io." Click ANY university's link. Wait while it "Warms Up". With this software, you will honestly WAIT for everything you do. And it's not a short wait. Sometimes its so long that the actual connection times out. This is literally the worst SaaS software I've ever used.

We did not need a complicated platform that was going to overwhelm students and staff. Presence has been straightforward. Also, the staff at Presence genuinely cares about its customers, and higher education advancement in general. They are generous with resources and speak our language. Pros The ease of creating custom content (ie forms and events) Cons Software sometimes has errors and does not load correctly Alternatives considered [Campus Labs](https://www.capterra.com/p/179989/Campus-Labs/) [MobileUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180086/MobileUp/) Reasons for choosing Modern Campus Involve Mobile up did not manage student organization registrations well, and campus labs was too costly, and more than we needed at the time.

Response from Vendor December 3, 2020 Hi Angel, We're really glad you've been able to streamline and digitize your processes with us. Our team loves working with you and are super excited to create more magic on your campus. We're also excited to be resolving some of those errors you mentioned in the coming months. Stay tuned! DR David R. Director of Student Life Higher Education ### "The most robust student engagement platform! " 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 May 21, 2020 Presence has given us a tremendous upgrade to our processes and helped us to be more efficient for student engagement. The data that we can collect and easily display is instrumental in helping keep our budget in tact and even get more funds for the next year since we can show increases in student involvement. The resources that Presence also provides to student affairs professionals is second to none, one stop on their blog is like going to a conference and getting some great insight on current trends in higher education. Pros Presence offers multitude of features that we use every day. The form approval process, which lets the flow of app rovers get something pushed through very quickly has given us greater efficiency. Creating and editing a form is very simple and easy for anyone to understand. Another aspect that is a benefit is the amazing customer service. There is always someone available to help you via chat or just a phone call away. We also use all the data and analytics that Presence provides to speak into our goals. Cons One thing that could be a benefit to this software is a room reservation piece. With events happening every day on campus, it could be very useful for Presence to have its own room reservation piece. However, we work with a third-party company that helps us and can send people from presence to their site to make that happen. The mobile app is useful but not as practical for students, if they were able to have their digitial ID and be able to submit forms that would be effective for students. Reasons for choosing Modern Campus Involve The price point was lower for the all encompassing features. Other products would require additional fees for each new product. The best thing about Presence is that everything is available to all users.

Of course, we love helping campuses streamline their processes but providing the data that's required to show the value of student affairs and protect budgets is our bread and butter. We couldn't be more excited to partner with you on this. We've made sure to add your suggestions to our list of possible future releases. Looking forward to many more milestones for your campus.

Whenever we come with an idea we’ve never been told no, it’s always how can we do that. Pros The data generated by Presence from event check-ins is the biggest value we receive from the software. Cons Presence offers all the features we need. The loading speed leaves much to be desired. It takes to long to load a page.

You'll be excited to know that page loading times are going to get a speed bump within the next few months and so you'll be able to stay focused on tracking that invaluable data. JR Jessie R.

We definitely would recommend it to there. Pros The product is easy to use and customer service is fantastic! Cons The app connected to it could be updated a bit.

Student Life Specialist Higher Education ### "Helping connect students, resources, and activities" 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 9/10 May 20, 2020 We wanted to connect students to organizations and activities on campus more seamlessly, allowing them a web presence so that they could find these opportunities more easily. We also wanted to keep better track of which students were getting and staying involved (and importantly, which were not). This system is helping us do a better job and we 're excited to see how this will improve in the future. Pros I love how easy it is to generate content that looks professional, is functional for students, and will help to generate student interest in opportunities. The process can be incredibly simple for students to learn and use, definitely increasing their likelihood to engage. Cons There's a bit of a learning curve on getting some forms set up (dependent upon the complexity of the form / conditional logic set up). Alternatives considered [Campus Labs](https://www.capterra.com/p/179989/Campus-Labs/) [Ready Campus App](https://www.capterra.com/p/183312/Ready-Campus-App/) Reasons for choosing Modern Campus Involve We liked that everything that we needed was included, without having to drive up costs due to a la carte features. The training and implementation process was made simpler and more straightforward with Presence than with other products. The reasonable cost coupled with good customer service and support and a host of features that met what we needed really decided it for us.

Associate Director of Student Activities Higher Education ### "With Presence, it is about the people." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 20, 2020 Overall, we have had a great experience. The hallmark of Presence is their team. Regardless of who I speak or online chat with, I am sure to connect with someone who is kind, personable, and committed to helping us achieve our goals. Pros For me, Presence is fresh. In interacting with students who are more and more driven to virtual spaces, having a software that had an energy to it is critical. Presence allows our organizations to do what they need to do with a user interface that is easy to navigate and understand. Cons The main frustration that our campus has had with Presence is at times the software can be glitchy or slow. In a go-go-go community like ours, students can easily get hung up on details like that.

Response from Vendor December 3, 2020 Hi Brandon, You said it best, the team at Presence are united in their passion for helping campuses achieve their goals. This isn't a coincidence, we purposefully hire higher ed professionals who have worked in the field. Beyond that, we consider campus partners like you an extension of the Presence team. You'll also be seeing some of those issues with speed disappearing in the upcoming months. AB Alexander B. Director Education Management ### "Changed Our Office/Work!" 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 May 19, 2020 Having implemented Presence has not only changed our office, but also changed our campus. It has allowed for us to bring the campus together in a cohesive manner to improve communication to all members of our community. In addition, Presence has assumed the role of another staff member within my office which has allowed for us to re-examine our roles within the office to focus on greater initiatives. The team at Presence truly cares about us and constantly pushes us to grow and is always willing to help in whatever way they can! Pros Easy and fun interface, user-friendly, variety of customization, levels of permissions, clear articulation of how to navigate platform for basic user, accessibility, seamless integration with business processes, customer service team, budget manager, work flow patterns, self-guided pathways for users Implementing the use of Presence improved our office functions and created automated shortcuts for our work processes. These changes became the base of our office procedures which created new opportunities for us to explore as well as cut down on time and energy spent for various office procedures. Through the schedule feature, we were also able to move to an electronic calendar for programs on campus that can be used via the web or the convenient app Cons Not to the fault of Presence, but automated data imports are not supported by our ERM so a manual process is required, but data export to Presence is automated Alternatives considered [Campus Labs](https://www.capterra.com/p/179989/Campus-Labs/) 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 December 3, 2020 We'll say it loud for the people in the back. Our campus partners are part of the Presence team! We are driven by the successes of customers like you, Alex. You understand the philosophy of Presence and have been a champion in bringing on your campus. The successes you've had continuously impress us. Thanks for being a part of the family.
