### Most mentioned pros

- There are so many features to make registration, payment and membership streamlined for customers.
- I like ActiveNet because it makes it easy for my facility to check members and rent out equipment.
- Great for basic class registration and membership tracking.

### Most mentioned cons

- Our biggest drawback was that the only way we could merge customer payment plans was by putting the classes in a package bundle.
- Lots of unnecessary columns and text meant for one cell is exports to an additional cell in the row below (creating a whole extra row as well).
- When you add a membership, uou have to go to a different tab to check in- a lot of scans get missed and it’s a two part series.

### Comprehensive but complicated

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Lin W.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Government Administration
- Company size: 51-200 employees

ActiveNet can be a good tool for parks and recreation. It has comprehensive features and functions that fit an agency's needs. But the customization is limited and the learning curve is challenging. Plus, the complexity of the user interface and managing data prevents users from fully using all the features.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

A lot of features. Online registration is convenient. Converting all programs to InDesign for marketing is easy. Customer service is very responsive.

#### Cons

ActiveNet is an old platform and its user interface looks like early 2000s and is complicated. The data management is difficult. There are too many settings and parameters for pulling a report. Some reports are in tabular format Excel but many are not, especially revenue reports, which are impossible to be integrated into other financial or data management. To learn a specific function of ActiveNet is not difficult, but the learning curve to use ActiveNet effectively is challenging. Customization is limited, we often need to adjust our programs or facilities to fit the modules.

#### Reasons for choosing ACTIVENet

All parks and recreation registration/reservation systems have their pros and cons. None is perfect. ActiveNet was chosen as it was leading in the industry.

### Active Net Review

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Jeff D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Recreational Facilities and Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We use Facility Scheduling and POS components - Scheduling works fine for our bookable spaces, and for the most part the POS works as well. Overall frustration is with Accounting side and Financial Reporting side of the software which does not provide what we need. When we were sold ActiveNet we were told it had ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY of MaxGalaxy (that we were using) plus additional features etc....this has not been the case as specifically I can not get accurate accounting info , system does not generate invoices, receipts show lack of details etc..

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

Scheduling calender to book events into spaces is easy to use - adding customers is relatively easy. Printing schedule is easy. POS features are user friendly and simple to set up.

#### Cons

Accounting is terrible - impossible to find most basic revenue information for bookable spaces. Many features simply don't work - ie Departmental Revenue - exists in ActiveNet nothing generates. System doesnt generate invoices - only permits. Receipts for payment show no detail about dates and times paid for - only refers back to Permit Clients hate the receipts as cant see what is paid and what is outstanding when have multiple dates on single permit. ActiveNet SUpport does not always respond to tickets generated and dont follow up.

#### Reasons for choosing ACTIVENet

Because in the sales process it was sold to us as seemless from MaxGalaxy and all functionality from MaxGalaxy would work in ActiveNet - this has NOT BEEN THE CASE

#### Reasons for switching to ACTIVENet

MaxGalaxy was going defunct due to Microsoft eliminating support for Silverlight which MaxGalaxy required to function - ActiveNet had bought MaxGalaxy and we were told it would be a seemless transition.

Overall, our experience has been a Successful one. We have been her for 10 years now so that in and of itself speaks volumes. We have been able to grow, change leadership, and even weather a pandemic without passing those struggles on to our customers.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Specialized modules for Memberships. Other products we have looked at seem to treat memberships like activities and they function quite differently too. The Connect App for Camp and Child Watch. It has been an amazing tool that has allowed staff to be more mobile both geographical with remote sites for camps and within their workspaces by untethering with the tablet.

#### Cons

Pricing, every new development is an additional cost. Support Hours of Availability, we are on the west side of the country and as a result our facilities are open hours after support closes. Reports are a constant struggle. Canned reports only return about 70-80% of what we need. We either end up pulling multiple reports and piecing them together in Excel or I end up trying to build custom reports in insights (even though not all the data points are available there either) to pull the data we need. The I have to go and make sure that all users who need it are able to access it.

### It's a Pretty Option Overall

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Melissa S.

- Industry: Recreational Facilities and Services
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, I've been very happy with activenet, especially with customer service. I have been in regular contact with the support team over the last 5 years and have had an exceptional experience every single time. The team doesn't stop until they can find you a solution, or at least an answer.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I like how customizable it is and how far ActiveNet has come with respect to the CUI as well as the AUI. It's become more functional over time. It's highlight is it allows for ease of program setup, delivery, and registration.

#### Cons

I don't like the process in which upgrades/updates are received and potentially reviewed. I have a request for a very important update for our company that has been overlooked as larger institutions and companies likely don't need to use the specified function. The lack of update impacts our processes such that we require to keep track of thousands of paper copies which is absolutely archaic and waste of time.

This might be the least user-friendly software I've ever used. In 20 years of tracing inventory, POS and events, I've never seen anything worse.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Our homeowners can register for events and purchase tickets.

#### Cons

Literally everything else. No one has ever been able to properly explain the pricing structure. I am unable to run registration reports and no one can help us troubleshoot. The customer service department is terrible (long wait times, ineffective and zero follow up). And the member interface/search engine is horrible.

### Implemented and used activenet after switching from CLASS for six plus years. it was quite good.

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Helen W.
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2018
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Once I got used to activenet, I really like a lot of what it could do. our initial set up caused problems from the start and we did not properly set up (based on how rep suggested) to maximize ease of use. I love the roster reports, booking was easy to do, as was registrations, membership sales. Editing information on the clients was very easy. when things went well, Activenet worked okay for us. calendar views were an awesome tool to see what was in the facility for the day and the totals reports were really prowerful. it was great to be able to generate reports in a variety of formats.

#### Cons

customer service was slim to none for the majority of our time. We only had a dedicated person for a small window of time to help show us and train us on how to advance the functionality of the programme. initial logistical problems in set up stalled our progress without the product. promises of bridging with current accounting software did not ever happen. As was the promise of bridging with red cross classes, which class did, was another thing that never happened. Helpline improved for last year of use, which was great, but kinda too late. Activenet had a habit of running updates, and not letting us know. Changes to our system would occur and we would have no idea how to troubleshoot and then have to wait several days for help from activenet. (via email or phone) Contract was renewed without our organization being consulted (you cannot automatically renew a contract without consultation) and then, when we heard our fees would be increased, with no promises of anything improved for our end, we opted to seek other software that may better fit our needs. Too bad because there are many many parts of Activenet I really liked, and really miss!

#### Vendor response

Thank you for your review Helen; we're sorry to hear that you were left feeling frustrated by a lack of support and options when it came to your technology. I've passed your feedback along to the head of our ACTIVE Net team for their consideration. We wish you the best and appreciate your valuable insight.

#### Pros

Their customer support is very helpful. Most of the basic functionality is there and does the job.

#### Cons

Doesn't allow for much customization on website or customization within. And if you can it is not easy to find. There are solutions but require us to often to reach out to Activenet support. Would love to see this be more user friendly. Would love to see a more customizable URL that can be given to customers for example www.fernierecreation.ca rather than this long URL that is not user friendly.

### Great Basic Registration System

#### Pros

Great for basic class registration and membership tracking.

#### Cons

Certain reports are harder to pull up/find than others, and are not clear. Too many functions/buttons for certain categories. Scholarships get overrided when making changes to a schedule. Not easy for a low-to-average computer user.

#### Reasons for switching to ACTIVENet

We needed a private schedule function that the other product didn't have.

### Activenet for small schools

Generally, this software has work well for is to bring clarity to the revenue and payroll streams and helped us greatly reduce past due balances and reduce staff time with registration transactions.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We appreciate parents' ability to login to manage their accounts, register for the correct classes and make online payments. The private lesson management on the staff side is efficient and generating the needed payroll information works well for us. Communication module is also much appreciated for targeted emails by course registration or level of participation. We have been able to fairly easily configure this software to work for our small school.

#### Cons

Reporting is very hard to trust and manipulate. Activenet seems to be trying to address this with AdHoc reporting and Insights, but the time and $ involved in incorporating those aspects is with our small staff is prohibitive. Also withdrawing students from a lesson course after they have had one or two lessons is impossible and necessitates adding fake money into the system to close the receipt. We find frustration that all the product enhancements are generally geared to YMCA type organizations and the smaller school needs are not often addressed.

#### Vendor response

Thank you Laura for taking the time to give us feedback on ACTIVE Net.

### Good support for migration

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

- Customer service is always there to help with anything. - When we migrated, the transition was pretty easy, they not only guided us through the transition, but also supported us. - We have been developing more and more products (existing products in Active that we get to know and start using) in Active and been supported through the process by our account manager as well as product team whom are always there if we need a refresher or presentation to better understand our options.

#### Cons

- We are in a French speaking province and we often need some corrections in the translations on the Customer User Interface (mistake in the translation, incorrect translation, etc.). - Some releases impact our processes and require us to modify our ways of doing things. - It takes a while for enhancement features to be developed.

If your organization needs to handle complex registrations, events like conferences and the like, it's probably one of the most full-featured out there. However, they way it defaults doesn't really apply broadly to other uses, so setup gets difficult, and sometimes you just have to workaround or accept something that doesn't quite do what you want the way you want it. Still, for smaller organizations, it's a good value for the cost. Their fee structure is fair, and lower than most.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Easier to use queries and data reports--they have really worked to make the user experience better in last several years. Abundant tutorials, many are pretty good, some are redundant or not that informative. Fulfills its main purpose well and offers functionality to handle rather complex organizational needs.

#### Cons

For our needs to track interactions with our constituents, the system required a lot of workarounds outside of conference management. Membership reports were difficult to set up to get the information needed. Setup is difficult and complex in general, particularly if your organization doesn't quite fit the model they used to develop the software. Although we realize they have to have some sort of fee model, to be charged a fee for charitable donations is hard to accept, .

#### Pros

Last year, we were going to hold a 5K as a fundraiser and had no clue on where to start or what to do. From our standpoint, they really fulfilled their promise in helping provide us with the tools to hold a successful 5K. Ultimately, we ended up nixing the idea, but we will use Active Network in the future!

#### Cons

The main con that we encountered was the fact that the products were not available a la carte. We already used a robust CRM that offered event management, but didn't offer event management that catered towards a 5K. The pricing was outrageous for our needs, but again, we were looking for something a la carte.
