Excellent Product
Excellent product. Highly recommend to other colleagues in higher education.
PROSThe platform is easily integrated into our daily activities, and provides a quick learning curve for users. This platform's ease of use allowed for a very quick end user adoption.
CONSSome limitations were noted in the use of the survey features. There needed to be a more robust and/or/if logic flow for some of the templates. We used this to product for a daily wellness check due to COVID-19. We found it wasn't as user friendly as we preferred.
Reason for choosing Rave Alert
Price and range of options

RAVE Alert for Colleges?
RAVE offers cost effective solutions for mass notification. They are competitive with other alerting companies and offer a product that works. We have not experienced interruptions in service. We have some concerns with using RAVE but overall we are happy with the product.
PROSI like the pricing model. We don't pay per call fees and the pricing packages are straight forward and easy to understand.
CONSThe fields are still very much geared toward college campuses or educational settings. There are questions that city's or even other type industries wouldn't use. They also tout their 911 feature that allows dispatch to see information for anyone subscribed. The problem is that if your dispatch center does not subscribe to Smart 911 then dispatch will not see their information. RAVE does not offer platforms that don't promise that to anyone inputting their information therefore, it gives people a false sense of hope. I've voiced this concern and was promised it would be addressed but after several years subscribing to RAVE they have not changed that.
Reason for choosing Rave Alert
Don't remember.
Reasons for switching to Rave Alert
I-info charged high fees per call/text/ email etc. sent. Their pricing structure is confusing and not straightforward. They rely on customers to build their system by paying for features that they may not currently offer and have a waiting list of features that may or may not eventually become available.

Rave Time Out
How quick the notifications are received
CONSI don't like how the system times itself out. I find myself continuously having to log into the system during my work shift. Also the reports are not good. I need to run a report/stats on how often we send emergency maintenance

Great Product for Higher Ed
Template customization and integration with many platforms to maximize the dissemination of messages.
CONSI have had issues with logging in several times if I logged out while in a different department. It seems this could be streamlined for users who have access to mulitple sites.
Reason for choosing Rave Alert
I was not part of the decision process.

Effective emergency communication and notification tool
We have mass notification within our agency which decreases off duty response time. Our community appreciates knowing when an emergency is happening in their neighborhood.
PROSThis product is much more user friendly then the two products we used before. We have had excellent support and recommend this product to other agencies
CONSI do not have any con's to list for this product. We are completely satisfied with the benefits this product offers us.
