They system is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, most of it is intuitive to figure out and set up. It's great overall for managing volunteers. Their are also very enthusiastic to listen to your needs and are working to implement some suggestions our team has made, which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? Perhaps we didn't understand some of the system but we had to go back and redo calendar items one at a time (1000s of shifts). We're lucky that the Initlive team did most of it for us but not doing something simple to make shifts appear the way you'd like and having to go in one by one to fix it is not only tedious but time consuming. Please take advantage of the training and walk through to avoid this. The mobile app didn't work as we expected but we forgot to schedule a training on that specifically, which we'll do with the system this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bloomerang Volunteer: Take every training they offer. Their team is also actively making changes to improve their product. My review may become irrelevant due to those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you?

MV Mark V. Manager, Emergency Preparedness Hospital & Health Care Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/12/2018 "Great to work with" 5/5 What do you like best about Bloomerang Volunteer? After my initial reach out to Avery she was with me every step of the way. If she was out of the office, I got a reply from a colleague, all in a very timely manner. We implemented InItLive for a unique solution and it worked great! I was extremely impressed with the level of customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? There wasn't much to dislike. There were a few limitations to the program that could be enhanced (and after talking to them, I'm sure they will be) but many of those enhancements were because we used the tool for something different than its original purpose. However, increasing capabilities to of the roles tool to enhance individual access would be one dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bloomerang Volunteer: Lean on the InItLive Team, they will be there to help you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? We used InItLive to manage a complex go-live with staff and contractors working outside their normal hours and roles. This gave us a centralized look at a 3 week schedule that was constantly shifting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Executive Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/12/2018 "In It Live has helped us streamline our volunteer procees" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Bloomerang Volunteer? We love that shift supervisors can communicate with their team members before, during and after the event. They can also rate volunteers' performance and make suggestions as to where their assets would be best deployed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? Because we don't allow unscreened applicants to self-select shifts, the workflow is a little bit clunky, but we have developed a communication system that works for us. Would be nice if roles stayed on the staff profiles when imported from the organization list to an event list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? We are finding it easier to recruit and retain new volunteers, especially younger people who, like it or not, prefer to do everything online or through an app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/12/2018 "Initlive helped on the spot " 3.5/5 What do you like best about Bloomerang Volunteer? I enjoyed handheld phone application. It was easy for me to communicate with my 300 plus volunteers when help was needed and where. I had a headset with the other organizers to communicate with them quicker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? The calendar scheduling view - the inability to edit what the schedule looks like in a calendar view. And notifications from the app seem to be a little laggy. It is hard to tell who gets updates on phone, or email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bloomerang Volunteer: Have a full test run before using it for a large event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? The ability to communicate with 300 plus volunteers during a live event. The benefits I have realized are assisting with the back end of scheduling. The ability for more than one team member to see edits live and an easy way for staff to communicate with supervisors.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/12/2018 "Ultimate tool to manage your volunteers" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Bloomerang Volunteer? The best feature for us is the online registration form and schedule picker. We save a lot of time by not having to gather the information from volunteers and then having to enter it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? With a lot of volunteers it can be hard to track when a volunteer registers or removes themselves from a shift. I would recommend having a notification feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? InitLive allows us to save a lot of time and money.

InitLive's mobile app is amazing on-site at an event. It is great for corralling late volunteers and being in constant communication with any changes (or surprise snacks). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bloomerang Volunteer? I wish InitLive had enhanced reporting and a mass upload/edit capability for shifts, and our staff wishes they could pick up shifts from their cell phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bloomerang Volunteer solving and how is that benefiting you? InitLive gives us true transparency into where our staff/volunteers are when they're on-site. We can instantly have our 300+ employees cell numbers on hand, and are able to send out push notifications for last-minute needs (like chair drops!)
