Executive Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/19/2023 "Couldn't Be Happier" 5/5 What do you like best about Bloomerang Volunteer? What I love most about Bloomerang Volunteer is how intuitive and easy it is for our volunteers, for our team, and for our folks who work on the back end. I have used other ones including free ones (that we have quickly outgrown) and even one that has been talked about as the best of the paid ones. Bloomerang is less than that paid one and it's unbelievably better. Plus, the support has been beyond good. Super responsive and solution oriented, we have had a tremendous experience. Our volunteers love it too. We get lots of compliments about how easy the process is. We love how Bloomerang has added to our organization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? You might think that the pricing is a negative but I have to be honest, it's totally worth it if you rely on volunteers for your organization. You can pay less but you absolutely get what you pay for. You can also pay more and have a product that isn't easy for your volunteers, your staff, and your admins. Plus, you get tremendous support! If you are used to using free volunteer plaforms, you will get sticker shock. Take into account all that you get and the tools that you will have to communicate with and manage your volunteers. Absolutely worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? Our biggest needs were to be able to manage multiple events each week, be able to report on the volunteers and their hours, and give our volunteers an easy to navigate experience with a login that will allow them to track and manage their contribution to the organization. Bloomerang solves all these issues for us and for our volunteers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Bloomerang Volunteer is how much time I save creating shifts and answering calls about sign-ups. We are able to have a self-scheduled volunteer website.

Our volunteer coordination is a fairly large undertaking - with thousands of volunteers in our data base, 8 different charities we partner with, and 6 different festivals in 4 different cities. We only recently started using Init Live as part of our volunteer organization - and the early reviews have been very positive. Our head volunteer coordinator has been ecstatic with how easy it is to use, how it keeps the entire team organized, and how it has reduced issues and stress during the events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? So far we have not encountered anything you would call negative. The biggest challenge is getting volunteers to use it for the first time and become comfortable with the system - and that is really just the time commitment of walking them through the first time they use it. After that, they seem to really like it and have no problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? Volunteer coordination is key to having our festivals run well - which in turn has a huge impact on attendees and exhibitors.

I'm a Volunteer Programme Manager and am happy to say that I've had the privilege of supporting InitLive almost from the get-go with this product. I've used many others in my career but none match up to what InitLive can do - and most importantly - take away in terms of the tedious admin work that goes into the back-end of systems in volunteer program set up. The interface is easy to read, the colours are bright and friendly, it's intuitive (you can pretty much work out how to use it - but if you need help the tutorials are great), you can customize the software to what your event requires, and there's a live chat meaning you can ask InitLive support a question and they get back to you super quick. The customer support is helpful and friendly and no question is a stupid one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? Can't think of anything!

We found InitLive a few years ago and it MASSIVELY assisted in our staff-wide efforts to fill positions within our annual large conventions, as we staff them with our International employees. Prior to finding them, we had been using something that was not cutting it in the SLIGHTEST, so it was a real godsend to find InitLive. We appreciate their customer service first and foremost. They are ALWAYS on it to help us and our girl Avery specifically is a dream, truly. We also like any and all "select all" feature, as well as copying roles and shifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? It gets a bit tricky with an import if you have quite a few staff or shifts to input, and sometimes the imports don't always go as planned (hiccups along the way). We also managed to crash their server once - that was fun! :) It's also annoying that you cannot sign up for shifts in the app itself and have to use a desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bloomerang Volunteer: I would definitely recommend InitLive, from the standpoint of what it can do for your business AND from the level of customer support you receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? We have realized the possibility of having our whole company on one wavelength with a pretty easy to operate app that can also send push notifications, shift reminders, and check our staff in.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? Inability for individual instructions per person Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bloomerang Volunteer: If you need to have a streamlined process for getting your staff checked in for various events, this is a wonderful app for that. Try it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? This has helped to streamline our check-in process for commencement. We have various groups of people that need to check-in at various locations and this helped us to have everything in one place without all of the paper lists everywhere. Additionally, it was a great way for us to see areas of weakness based on who checked in where. I loved having everything at the palm of my hand. I cannot stress enough how much I appreciated the fact that it was an app and not these pages upon pages of spreadsheets. If I needed to find someone, it was a simple search. Their contact information was readily accessible. The only thing that I would love to have as an addition is that each person can have individualized instructions. While some of our groups have general instructions, most of them have specific instructions to their location, and I was unable to get that specific. That aside, I highly recommend!

I like that I can have all of my volunteers in one place, not on multiple spreadsheets! I like that they can sign up for their own shifts which saves me a bunch of time and emails! The response times for support are fantastic, they do take suggestions seriously which is helpful! Everyone I've dealt with has been very friendly and offered up suggestions to help me with work arounds to the way I had previously done things! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? I'm still sorting out scheduling to make things work for me. We have multiple events in multiple cities so I"m also working on sorting volunteers to notify for each specific town/event rather than sending notifications to my entire staff list for 3 different cities. It's been a bit of a learning curve to move from the spreadsheets to the software but I learn something new each time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? I do this volunteer organizing alongside a full time field job and managing a part time family in the busiest season for all of us! We have a bunch of volunteers in different cities so trying to keep that all on track with my work/personal life gets a little frantic. The INITLive software allows me to be portable (I can use any system!) and frees up time to recruit more volunteers and help with the actual event organizing as well. If I can help the others they can then focus on the more important tasks of their jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
