From 380 customer service interactions per summer season...to ONE.

Did you read the part about reducing customer service interactions from 380+ to 1? We've saved so much admin time that we got busy with other thing!

PROS

Jumbula has completely streamlined and revamped our daycamp registration process. We've gone from 2017, nearly 400 customer service interactions for our daycamps (almost a 1:1 ratio for registrations to interactions, each one anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour)...to ONE for 2018, and that one mostly involved getting her started by clicking the right link. Super streamlined and intuitive, with a well-thought-out GUI that makes sense to busy parents.

CONS

Reporting needs some work; it would be nice if all reports lived in the same place. The administrative side of things isn't quite as intuitive as the customer-facing interface, but it's also not bad: reasonably speedy, pretty interface, etc. Responsive design would also be nice, or a mobile admin app for tablets / phones.

Review from ESEdF

It has been great having a website just for our classes and camps at a reasonable price!

PROS

Support is great! They are quick to respond, always helpful and open to suggestions. Shout out to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - thank you for your consistent help and patience!! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was very nice to work with during the consultation process, helping to make the set up easy!

CONS

The reports can be too much - too much info to slog through to get what I need and it has to be done for each season. I wish that when I created reports with exactly what I need on them, those report options would be available for other seasons.

Reason for choosing Jumbula

Being a non-profit, raising money for public education, we needed an affordable product, and one that was easy to use. The other 3 we looked at were much more expensive because they offered a lot of extra things that we did not need or want.

Reasons for switching to Jumbula

The office had used eTapestry for many years but it was a terrible solution. I really pushed to make a change so I did not have to use it for classes anymore.

Good basic registration system

My overall experience with Jumbula has been okay. Since, July, I stopped contacting customer service because they were non-responsive for customer service help (I think I asked for help two times before giving up this was not the case when I first started working with Jumbula). I managed and figured it out on my own afterwhile. My summer camp is almost over and I'm willing to give them another try next summer. Hopefully, the aforementioned items will be taken care of.

PROS

I love that this software is affordable and has the opportunity to be great. In the beginning, the customer service representative was very helpful in helping me setup the system. The software has some great functionality like the check-in/check-out tool and personal website page. The registration form once setup is easy to follow and use.

CONS

The functionality for managing volunteers is missing. I couldn't schedule or manage volunteers on this platform nor staff really. The interface with WIX doesn't work well, and activating payment via customer service. The Jumbula website page they provide is great but the registration information for families to register would not save by grade appearing out of sorts once published on the website. There was no fix for this.

Reason for choosing Jumbula

We just launched a summer camp this summer (small camp less than 40). I chose Jumbula because of the price and the said functionality during their presentation.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about our software's affordability and potential. We apologize for the challenges you faced with managing volunteers, the WIX interface, and customer service responsiveness. We value your input and will strive to address these issues in the future. We look forward to having another opportunity to serve you next summer. Thank you for your patience and feedback!

Jumbula is the best program software for running before and after school programs

PROS

- Ease of use - Innovative - Looks modern - Cohesive (especially for tracking payments, attendance, registration, and people or staff) - Customer support is top tier

CONS

This is relatively new software, it appears, however, it already does more than other leading software available. That makes me excited about how the software will continue to grow.

Reason for choosing Jumbula

- ease of use - customer support - external website option - price

The support team has been great.

PROS

It's very customizable! It works really well with what we use it for and it looks like our organization!

CONS

Some things take a while to find to utilize. There are specific aspects I wish it had but nothing too dire.

Reason for choosing Jumbula

Same as above.

Reasons for switching to Jumbula

It costed too much money and we did not need all of it's features that we were paying extra for.
