Dunsmuir High

Very frustrating trying to get the apps to work to talk to other staff members without having to put in passwords every time - how does one remember those in a panicky situation! So we have switched this to a different company.

PROS

The concept was good, and we liked the website component so we thought the 2 together would be great.

CONS

The cell phone apps did not work right. We couldn't communicate with eachother during drills or actual incidents because password were difficult.

Vendor Response

Thank you for providing feedback and letting us know what your experience has been like. It is our goal to make sure efficient, fast communication is taking place and is easy for your team to use. We hope in the future you will reconsider our app as we make fixes to these concerns!

Great customer service, easy to use

We use it regularly with tip reporting, and less frequently with drills, holds, etc. It's relatively easy to pick up for new staff members.

PROS

CatapultEMS staff are always working to improve the software, and it shows. Just in the past two years, there have been some great improvements that make it even easier to navigate/use.

CONS

Sometimes the app can be slow for users during drills when everyone is on their cell phone accounting for students. This is a limitation of anything using cellular data/wifi.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback! This is excellent to hear! Our CatapultEMS app has gone through some major updates and we encourage you to give it another go!

Fantastic Tool for schools

I honestly felt the first time the site safety team came together via a zoom meeting with our introduction to this program, I felt it was rushed and we were unable to get a firm grip of it. I understand many factors were at play along with a strict time-line but I think it presented a bad taste at first for many of the newcomers. Other than that, everyone that I have come into contact with have been amazing and extremely helpful. We are still learning our way to become extremely proficient, but we will get there.

PROS

We wanted a software program that allows communication between EMS, Police, Fire, with the Administration and potentially the teachers themselves all the while taking accountability of the whole student body and their present locations. This program does just that. Getting used to this type of communication with up to 150 people is a bit difficult and with time, we are getting used to it and maneuver quickly, but just like everything else that is new, it just takes time to become well versed applying it. This is an extremely useful tool and I sincerely hope to never have to use outside of a drill. If the unlikely event ever happens, I am extremely thankful we have this.

CONS

The features are so compact when using it on the phone and the map should be able to expand in some way other than inside that little box.

Reason for choosing CatapultEMS

The program was the closest to what the District wanted with a price point that was the cherry on top.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Kimberly! This is great feedback for us and we are so happy to hear the communication between stakeholders is working the way it should be! Our CatapultEMS app has had some major changes and we encourage you to test it out when appropriate.
