RecDesk works perfectly for our Department's needs!

We have very pleased with the ease of this product, and our residents/ participants love the convenience and flexibility it has brought for registering for our department's programs and events.

Functionality

Pros:

It is easy to train staff on how to use it, if we have a question it's answered in a very timely manner, there is no cost for upgrades, and we get emails or pop-ups announcing new modules or upgrades.

Cons:

When we move a participant to a new program their forms disappear, and for new participants they sometimes find the category selection on their "view" homepage to be a challenge.

RecDesk - A Solid Rec Management Software

I am a big fan. We've used other, similar software, and we've grown to like RecDesk for the ease of use. Part-timers can pick up the software easy. It is NOT a singular usage program for a community center, though. You will still need space management software and event software - both features of RecDesk are poor.

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of use. RecDesk creates a clear path forward on any task. It allows easy tracking of class rosters. Reporting features are top-notch and simplified for easy auditing and tracking.

Cons:

The most challenging aspect of RecDesk is communicating with enrollees. There is no way to communicate directly from an individual, as all communication originates from the institution. Additionally, I am not a huge fan of the design of RecDesk, as it feels very dated.

Reasons for choosing RecDesk

Recommendations from others within the industry.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

Playbook was very, very bad for accounting purposes.

Vendor Response

Hello Bill, Thank you for the review. We're happy to hear you find value in the reporting, that it makes auditing easy, and that it's easy enough for all of your users to understand. Thanks for being a customer!

Pros:

We like the simplicity use cases of RecDesk on the Admin Side

Cons:

Community Side, there's a little too much going on; We wish that their was a community member training that we can give to parents; - Not having Discount Codes; and forcing organizations to put Fees online even if people have scholarships - No true Scholarship features (and we have to create workarounds) it would be nice if we put them in a scholarship everything we select would automatically fix or adjust pricing - Administrative Burdens: A lot of things in RecDesk can not be customized to the organization's needs, and we wish that we got to sit down with one of the Software developers and let them know our needs as an organization.

Reasons for switching to RecDesk

We needed more features for our reporting since we are a non-profit that get multiple grants

Recdesk is a great tool for Park & Rec& rental property.

RecDesk is a great tool to have if you are over park registration, park league, and any rental areas. Registrations turn into park leagues with a few click. You can ever get a computer generated schedule based off your requirements. We also use it to rent out our community center and it has made that process easier as well.
