Simple Emergency Notifications

PROS

The setup was super simple and took only a few minutes. It did take a little longer to geofence my campuses, but really that was no big deal at all. The app is simple for my staff to use and provides information quickly when seconds count!

CONS

The biggest challenge I face with this software is remembering to add new staff which is really not a problem with the software as it is with the onboarding and offboarding processes in place at my organization.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Rave Panic Button, we love hearing how our customers are using the software to solve day-to-day challenges! We greatly appreciate your feedback to help us continue to evolve and grow.

Rave Experience

We are very pleased with the program.

PROS

Serving a large school district with 20,000 students, over 30 school sites, and multiple buildings on those sites, we needed an emergency notification device that could reach all staff no matter where they were on campus and the ability to notify staff in transit of any issues. We were impressed with the functionality of this product and the ease of setting it up.

CONS

Integration was fairly easy for staff, but I would encourage school sites to utilize the push notifications in addition to drills so that the platform is kept in front of people's minds. If the program is only used during drills, staff may not use it in an emergency because they have not used the program enough to be hardwired in their minds.

Reason for choosing Rave Panic Button

I like the fact that notifications are pushed through cellphones, and have a better chance to reach more staff than on other devices.

Reasons for switching to Rave Panic Button

Go Guardian was a pilot/startup company.

Company does not work with Schools due to COVID... ALL about the $$$$$$ Stay AWAY

The company is all about getting your money. When their product did not meet the requirements set forth by the state without requiring an additional subscription to another company, they refused to let a school out of the contract. $7,200 that could go towards COVID response for students that missed out on education or towards resources for teachers instead is tied up in the company wanting to get paid..... They don't do what is right! Stay AWAY!

PROS

Product served its function but didn't meet the requirements set forth by the state without an add on.

CONS

Does not connect well with local agencies.

Reason for choosing Rave Panic Button

Quick Notifier

PROS

The thing I like most is that even if the application is not installed then your users can get the text and email notification of the incident. The software is very easy to use and understand, it have one touch way to send alerts.

CONS

Communication is limited when user sends alert message also I get little confusing in initial setup.

Pros and cons

Very good! I use it, support it, and train other administrators on how to use it.

PROS

It's simple to use and understand, and to train others on how to use it.

CONS

Holding the panic button down for 1.5 seconds only to be asked if we want to actually dial 911 burns valuable time that could be use to communicate with an emergency dispatcher. I suggest eliminating the 1.5 second delay and/or the call confirmation question.

Not sure ho we made it without RAVE Panic Button

We have been using the Panic Button app for a few years now and couldn't be more happy with all of it's features. We are hoping to get the funding for other Rave products in the future

PROS

The app is easy to load and use. We manage the Panic Button for our county employees and properties. Using it to not only keep our folks safe, we can send out messages with key information in a timely manner to whomever we want on the system. And customer support and sales are a pleasure to deal with.

CONS

I am not sure what could be added to the app to make it better.

RAVE Panic Button

Very good experience. Training for the RAVE app has been easy, and I have gotten responses immediately w hen needed.

PROS

This product is a proactive way of keeping faculty safe. We had a fire at a school, and it pinpointed the location which saved minutes and saved the building. We could communicate with all teachers and staff members through this system.

CONS

The geofencing at one of the schools was difficult because it was two campuses in one. This took time to figure out.

Santa Fe Public Schools and the Rave Panic Button

Our district is very pleased with the Rave Panic Button. It has been very helpful to let staff, visitors and administrators know what is going on at the school sites. It has greatly decreased the calls to the Administrative office when there is an incident going on at one of the schools. We hope to add more schools to the Rave Panic Button over the next few years.

PROS

The mass notification is very helpful for a large school district such as ours.

CONS

Some issues with the information being sent out to "outsiders" with a delay.

Rave Review

We have explored other panic button options that were still in development, but Rave Panic button was the easiest to use and understand. Even if you do not have the app installed your users will still get a text and email notification of the incident.

PROS

The app and software were very easy to use and understand. The location awareness of this app is pretty spot on once you map it out.

CONS

I like all features of this product.

Reason for choosing Rave Panic Button

I do not remember the name of the other product we explored, but the failure of that product was that they wanted you to manually check what building you were in on a map first before reporting the emergency. With Rave it auto-detects your location for you.

Great App for easily ensuring district safety runs smoothly.

Once you learn to use the App it is not all that difficult. However, I must say that initial set-up is somewhat confusing.

PROS

I like the ability to ensure that the administrator can manage staff well. I also like the ability to use the app for drills we run monthly.

CONS

Some of the features could be more intuitive. For instance I would like that ability to see drill run by school site rather than just an overall list.

Reason for choosing Rave Panic Button

This product was provided to us by the state of NM. It has been a very useful tool in district security.
