Perfect Platform for Alumni Relations (Even a 1-Person Alumni Relations Office)!

I am a one-person team for my alumni relations office. The fact that I met with vendors over a three month period and then designed and launched the platform in 8 weeks means that anyone can do it and it's a very user-friendly product. I would highly recommend Hivebrite to universities to use this platform for their alumni, students, faculty, and staff engagement/professional development platform.

Functionality

Pros:

This platform is all-encompassing. It's nice because you can just turn on and off features as you need them. Most companies make you "add-on" additional modules which is expensive and annoying. The only add-ons that isn't included for Hivebrite is Mentoring and Campaigns, but these add-ons are cheap compared to other vendors. It's a very easy platform to use and brand the way you want it.

Cons:

Your IT team or a third party vendor has to complete the API's to sync with your alumni database which has been interesting to navigate. It would be nice if Hivebrite did it all in-house for you or worked with your IT team to make it happen. You also can't archive past events or forum discussions. This would be nice so that you can clear out these sections instead of seeing everything you've ever done.

Reasons for choosing Hivebrite

1. Sales rep was not pushy or aggressive which I appreciated. PeopleGrove had a very aggressive sales person that was rude. 2. Cost - it's a good price compared to other vendors 3. All-inclusive - the modules are available to you at any time and you control when you turn them on or off

Easy to use community management platform

Hivebrite made our life easier when building our community and managing it. We were able to observe our community behaviours and build value adds for them such as events and content very easily and it made our payment process extremely easy.

Pros:

Hivebrite makes the site build very easy and the growth team are responsive over email. In terms of managing a community, the site makes logins, payments and communications very easy. Events are easy to share and invite attendees.

Cons:

The site build can be prescriptive and inflexible and it's slow to reach the backoffice team in charge of helping with issues or bugs. There is a strong team focus on ensuring you renew early.

Customer Success is taken LITERALLY with Hivebrite

I've never felt more taken care of by customer success reps. They will always go to bat for their clients.

Functionality

Pros:

If you are looking for a system that has a team of pros on your side, this is the product to choose. They don't upsell. In fact, they'll recommend downgrading your modules if they don't think the module will serve you. They are on your side all the time. Plus, this site is ridiculously easy to manage. If you've used Sharepoint, this will be a breeze. They take admin feedback into consideration all the time and actually use our suggestions. I've worked with a lot of systems and never given a review before, that's how much I love this team. They really worked with our budget (we're a non-profit) and do all they can to keep costs low. We use this system for events most primarily and our events are well-attended. Everything is automated and our members don't have issues registering. I will never leave Hivebrite.

Cons:

I think it's hard to build a community online that's not social media. This site is not social media. We're all a little warped to expect 100 likes minimum, or else a post is a fail. It takes genuine effort to get people to use the platform. That's not a hit on Hivebrite, but just these systems as a whole.

Pros:

It appears to be one of the only platforms where you can connect organisations and the general public and have some oversight of it. I like the email campaign feature a lot as I can make it look really good and narrow down which members to contact. Our Customer success Manager [sensitive content hidden] is great and is really proactive and helping us get the most out of the platform as we can and is invested in our mission. The response rate from the support team is very quick

Cons:

Lack of customisability can occasionally cause some issues for functionality, but we are not using the platform for its intended purpose which should be kept in mind.

Pros:

Hivebrite is an excellent platform for creating and managing an online community. It offers a modern, intuitive, and easy-to-use interface that makes online exchange and engagement feel natural. What truly sets Hivebrite apart is the quality of its customer support. The support team was consistently helpful, responsive, and solution-oriented, and my feedback was genuinely taken into consideration. I also received outstanding support from my dedicated contact, [sensitive content hidden], who provided far more than just technical assistance. Her guidance, responsiveness, and proactive approach made a real difference to the success of our platform.

Cons:

Do I have to say something here? Because there is nothing to say. Limited mobile features, and some advanced settings take time to master/understand.
