"Great Platform "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

This platform is intuitive and easy to use. The helpdesk is incredibly helpful and respond quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

There are some areas it could be improved, there could be more functionality, reporting, and ownership[ for the agencies that are posting to the platform. They aren't able to access as much info as the site managers, which makes sense, but it would be worthwhile for the agencies to be ale to access more reports and stats about their volunteers.

Great balance of customization and streamlinedness, great support, mostly intuitive design, reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

A few clunky UI things in an otherwise intuitive interface - selecting opportunities when adding responses manually is difficult, sending emails to specific users requires looking up their user ID if they're not connected by an event/opportunity/etc., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Volunteer Management Program Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I like that that potential volunteers are able to easily see what opportunities are available and that we have an efficient way to communicate with our volunteer base. Updates and changes are easy to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I would love if there were an app for tablets and phones. A quick, app based login kiosk would make the

check in process more efficient than using a web based portal.

We would also like a way to add volunteer contributions for people who will not use web based programs. We have many older volunteers who will not create accounts. Because we use Galaxy to track volunteer time accrued across our organization, we would like to be able to account for individuals that are not registered users. It would be helpful if there was a way to add a volunteer profile without an email address, as many are reluctant to provide us with one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It provides everything a volunteer management system should have, but most don't. "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I like that it offers all the basic necessities and is customizable for our organization's custom needs. We are able to fully operate it without needing to contact someone to fix our problems, and our volunteers have transferred to communicating with us through the system, which was not possible before we made the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I would say that the only change I would make would be to have qualifications integrate a bit better. We have a service that runs our background checks for free, but it causes some extra time to make it work with galaxy digital. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I appreciate the reciprocity that the system allows. As an administrator in higher ed, our goal for community engagement is always a win-win scenario and the Galaxy software allows community organizations to easily reach a large number of potential volunteers. Simultaneously, students can search for opportunities that meet specific interests of their and capture this all on a volunteer resume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Phone Conversation"
5/5
What do you like best about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

I liked how patient and understanding they were with me learning the site. I was on maternity leave for 12 weeks and needed a refresher course when I got back to work. The conversation really helped me to understand all the changes that had happened.They also rescheduled after I had a mishap with my phone. It was very nice of them to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Get Connected by Galaxy Digital?

The time difference in scheduling the call initially (I was finally sent a calendar invite), I was just receiving generic "remember to contact us" emails that were backlogged because of my maternity leave but other than that nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
