Coast makes managing my team a breeze

PROS

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.

CONS

Sometimes 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.

PROS

Easy 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.

CONS

I 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.

PROS

It's easy to use and fast notification when messages are placed.

CONS

Lack 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

PROS

Ease of messaging. Ability to send documents and pictures as well.

CONS

It's a bit glitchy at times. Also has issues connecting to the servers sometimes.

Reasons for switching to Coast

Price. They wanted to charge a lot just for messaging.

Great maintenance software for a food production facility

Great and easy to use. My team loves using coast!

PROS

The 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.

CONS

They'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

PROS

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.

CONS

Nothing at all, it was simple and easy to set up!

Reason for choosing Coast

Cheaper, all-in one.

Good for Large Work Groups

PROS

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.

CONS

Clearer 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.

PROS

Coast 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.

CONS

I 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!

PROS

The simple fact that its a one stop shop for all my FM needs.

CONS

Haven'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.

PROS

Ease 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.

CONS

There 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.

PROS

Easy to use for communication, notifications work across mobile and pc. Customer support is fast and consistent

CONS

removing users and creating users seems clunky and unintuitive

Reason for choosing Coast

We were beta testers and stayed on after that was finished because it worked well for us.

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.

PROS

Coast is great for sending messages to sets and subsets of our team.

CONS

Adding 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

PROS

Product 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.

CONS

I 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!

PROS

This 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.

CONS

I'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!

Easy 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.

PROS

Pretty easy to use, and invite members. Scheduling was easy, and tasks/chats are easy to create.

CONS

Connection 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.

Reasons for switching to Coast

Fantastic software for managing teams and keeping track of everything/everyone.

PROS

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.

CONS

Learning 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.
