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!

Great bang for your buck

Support has always been good but sometimes I need answers immediately and cannot get them (online tutorials are very hard to find). We love the software because it is very affordable and does almost everything we need it to. Small downsides include the lack of being able to customize certain buttons or where they are located, sometimes there is confusion with navigating the system (new clients). Number 1 issue we have is the inability to have one season with multiple tuition options and multiple capacity options. Just needs to be a little more in depth.

PROS

Affordable, easy to use, generally good support team.

CONS

Not all features can be customized. People sometimes have difficulty with the navigation buttons when registering.

Vendor Response

Hi Katy, we're glad to have you onboard. You can find tutorials links from https://kb.jumbula.com/portal/en/kb if you need an answer immediately. Also, you can have one season created with multiple programs within it, and each one of them can have different tuition options. If you nee more help from us, do not hesitate to contact us. :)

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

Well designed platform with great customer support, a few areas for Usability improvement

The Jumbula platform gets better with each iteration and the IT folks are constantly working to improve the platform based on customer feedback. The Support Team at Jumbula is top-notch and one of the key selling points when adopting a new platform to manage this critical business process.

PROS

Jumbula class and camp registration platform is a game-changer for our business process. The ability to restrict a user's class registration based on the participant's age or grade is significant. We also like the way we can customize the registration process for our specific requirements and remove form fields not required which help streamline our client's registration process. Jumbula retains the participant's registration information and returning users can quickly add additional Programs without having to resubmit the requested form field information each time. Our clients are able to view all available classes and receive an automated confirmation upon registration.

CONS

The Jumbula customer-facing home site, where the user is presented with available class/camp options needs a significant UI overhaul. The use of HTML iframes to contain program data feel clunky and outdated and does not take advantage of current HTML/CSS web standards. However, once a program is selected the checkout process is smooth and intuitive.

Reasons for switching to Jumbula

As our business evolved we needed a more efficient method to manage our registration process and reduce errors in workflow and improve our customer experience .

Buyer Beware!!

Overall, our experience has been horrific. We have had numerous issues with getting the product to work for us and have spent countless hours emailing and trying to get help from their customer service. We have put in many help "tickets" that have never received any response. Most recently we have been trying to cancel and can not get anyone to return our calls or emails.

PROS

While there were a few things that we liked about Jumbula the bad definitely outweighed the good and made this product painful to use.

CONS

Customer Service, ease of use, lack of functionality, reporting, credit charges

Vendor Response

Hi there! We're really sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with Jumbula. We understand the importance of reliable customer service, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We value your feedback and want to make things right. Could you please provide us with your contact information via private message so that we can personally assist you in resolving these issues?

Time saving and easy to use

Jumbula has provided us with a number of different solutions for our business. Their website/software is easy to use and solves a number of problems for businesses that provide classes, camps and other services to parents and children. It does the job of at least one employee with the click of a few buttons. Customer service has been incredibly responsive. As a parent, I would love it if more businesses used Jumbula - being able to register for multiple classes online, fill out paperwork efficiently, and communicate with teachers and coaches easily makes life so much easier.

PROS

Easy to use, efficient, simplifies processes.

CONS

The idea of switching to a system like Jumbula can seem overwhelming, but it is quite easy and customer service was very helpful. On the consumer side, I wish more local businesses used Jumbula - especially because I much prefer to be able to do all registrations and forms online at my own convenience and not have to do it in person and/or every single time one of my children takes a new class from the same person or organization.

CONS

At first, there was limits on how to search and pull reports in certain ways. Recently they have improved the reporting capabilities.

None was considered at that time. If we would do it now, for tournaments we would go with king registration, just because simply better for chess tournaments.
