Coast makes managing my team a breeze
All in one tool that help me manage my team. It has replaced all the back and forth emails and text. Favorite feature is the tasks where I can track exactly what the progress of each task is.
CONSSometimes photos don't load properly and would have to ask customer support to fix issue.
Reason for choosing Coast
My team that I manage is part of the facilities team.
Vendor Response
Thank you Janice! We're continuing to make improvements to Coast that will help make photos load even faster.

Coast app work order system
Overall experience has been great. We are hoping to proceed with the PMP side of their app upcoming.
PROSEasy to work with company. Very flexible and available for quick questions and adjustments are easy to make. They've gone above and beyond in providing us with additional services for reports, etc.
CONSI don't have anything negative to record on coast as their services have been only positive.
Reason for choosing Coast
Price and appreciated the easy app they offered.
Reasons for switching to Coast
We weren't using the previous app to the fullest potential and the cost was extremely high for the use.

Able to access all communications
Overall it's an easy, cheap app. for communication with other team mates. not a fan of missing out or not being able to retrieve messages of there's a back log of missed new messages.
PROSIt's easy to use and fast notification when messages are placed.
CONSLack of access to all messages. Sometimes numerous messages are sent and if you don't stay on top you'll be limited to how far back you can retrieve the unread messages. This can be an issue as you won't get all the information or important messages due to not being able to retrieve all new messages.

Usefully for easy messaging
It's been pretty good. We use the free version so we don't get all the bells and whistles
PROSEase of messaging. Ability to send documents and pictures as well.
CONSIt's a bit glitchy at times. Also has issues connecting to the servers sometimes.
Reasons for switching to Coast

Great maintenance software for a food production facility
Great and easy to use. My team loves using coast!
PROSThe notifications and reminders are the best part of this software. We have our preventive maintenance schedules all set up for our equipment here and we get notified when things are supposed to need pm work done and inspected.
CONSThey're working on this feature, but it currently cannot automatically assign a pm or work order to a technician that is scheduled to work for that day. I looked at a few other softwares and none of them had this feature.

Coast is an all-in-one app for our team
We used to use multiple apps for scheduling, team communications, work orders, and tasks. It was cumbersome because our team constantly had to switch back and forth. With Coast, now we have everything in one place. Our work order process is streamlined, and we no longer text and email people to get status updates. Because the team communication is integrated directly into the work, we can talk about work orders as well.
CONSNothing at all, it was simple and easy to set up!
Reason for choosing Coast
Cheaper, all-in one.

Good for Large Work Groups
The ability to create multiple chats with the same set of people with ease for different purposes and not having to worry about a capped limit of people. The fact that coast has a clean UI also helps.
CONSClearer settings feature is needed, at least on the non-owner end. The only settings available are the profile settings and if you want to change anything or add contact info, you're forced into having a profile photo regardless or else you cannot make changes. Accessibility options along with this are non-existent due to this fact, you can't change it from it's normal palette to a dark mode nor change the font size makes things a challenge for fellow coworkers.
Reasons for switching to Coast
Went from free to extremely pricey for our uses and required us to switch to something that can actually keep up for our uses.

Happy Coast Customer
The overall experience has been extremely positive. We're better able to track our costs, time spent on repairs, inventory of our equipment and bring it all into a single place which improves our ability to track everything and drastically reduces time wasted searching for information in spreadsheets.
PROSCoast has improved our ability to manage our team, schedule repairs, track building maintenance costs, consolidate company information into a single space and improve our efficiency. The Coast team has been invaluable for onboarding, designing workspaces around our needs. Their team is professional, kind and very helpful and I can't recommend them more.
CONSI honestly haven't run into any downsides with the app, it's been a night and day improvement from our previous system.

Great product and CS.
Experience is great. I just wish I had more time onboarding. My day is very full. Buit, I think what I value the most is CS. People like [sensitive content hidden], who has consistently been with me throughout this whole ride so far. She has been very vital in onboarding this platform. Been very patient with me and staff and is always there with a smile willing to "hold my hand". Without her CS we might be looking at other options. Coast is more than just data and how to interface with it, a large portion is CS. This place has it. Thank you!
PROSThe simple fact that its a one stop shop for all my FM needs.
CONSHaven't found a solid one yet. But, if I had to be picky, I wish the "title" area for the incoming work order was in larger font size and more obvious like the, "update status" button below it. I do have a staff member who can navigate the platform well but, has a rough time seeing work order is which.
Reason for choosing Coast
It's more intuitive than other platforms and I have a father older staff and tenants, this platform makes sense, it mirrors cell phone function or "melinote". Very easy to use.

Coast 05/17/23
We are using Coast to completely manage our maintenance department. Recently we expanded our use to include a work flow for our procurement department. Being able to internally track the status of a PO and tagging that cost to a particular asset is very valueable.
PROSEase of use and how easy it is to learn the functionality given how intuitive everything is put together. Also, the technical and customer support is top notch.
CONSThere are various opportunities to improve in regards a menu to help design and create customer reports.

Coast is a solid platform depending on your usage needs. It excels at messaging and task creation
I think Coast is a great alternative to Slack and works well for most of what it tries to do. They listen to most feedback and have robust support.
PROSEasy to use for communication, notifications work across mobile and pc. Customer support is fast and consistent
CONSremoving users and creating users seems clunky and unintuitive

Coast Review
Coast has been amazing for our team. I love that I can create groups, channels, and communicate about projects individually with pertinent staff.
PROSCoast is great for sending messages to sets and subsets of our team.
CONSAdding another app to our ever growing list of possible ways to communicate internally seemed excessive, but Coast has eliminated emails and texting as options, since it is such an efficient and easy to use platform.

Great product
We moved from a paper work order system to Coast. Many other vendors where evaluated and compared for features and price. We made the right decision in choosing Coast
PROSProduct is well engineered and easy to navigate. It exceeded our expectations and their customer support is excellent. Our agency will continue to expand our use of the features offered in the product. Even our staff members who are not technologically inclined were quick to adopt its use. The system is designed for a smart phone user which makes us even more efficient.
CONSI don't have negatives thus far. When I requested a customized reporting function it was produced within a week.

Great for Scheduling Wine Festivals!
I've been exceptionally pleased with Coast. It's made my job SO much easier!
PROSThis software was easy to set up, easy to train on and easy to implement. It's simplicity provides all we need to schedule staff to work our wine festivals.
CONSI'd love to be able to have a printable calendar, but that feature is not available. There are a few minor things I have not been able to do, but the tech team has always said they will pass the information along to be discussed with the app builders!

PROSScheduling my jobs and who is on jobs. Also making it easy to put job descriptions and parts on each invoice

Love Coast, great alternative to slack
I would love to keep using it. The customer service is great.
PROSEasy to install, no ads. Coast is all about communicating easily and getting updates / response popped up fast. So it greatly increase the working efficiency and so I love it !

Has lots of great features, but the servers aren't great.
Worked well for a while, but the connection issues were felt by most users.
PROSPretty easy to use, and invite members. Scheduling was easy, and tasks/chats are easy to create.
CONSConnection was usually poor, and it would take a while to connect to the server on mobile data. The free plan also limits your ability to restrict what members have permission to do.

Fantastic software for managing teams and keeping track of everything/everyone.
Hands down - the ability to customize my items to fit my company's unique needs. Most of other software I looked at were about 50-80% right for my needs. Coast fits 95+% because I can change things to what I need. Also, their customer service is amazing. The team has spent plenty of time talking to e, showing me features, and asking for feedback about how they can improve the experience for me as an end user. They implemented several suggestions very quickly as well. I truly feel that this is the best option on the market for my needs, short of paying someone to custom design something for me.
CONSLearning how to use the software and adapt it to my needs was a bit of a learning curve. Adding in new data can be slow. Software is slow to load/refresh, especially when it is full of items.
