"Clean, straightforward, and just enough bells and whistles"

4/5

What do you like best about Localist?

Localist looks clean and modern, makes social sharing easy, and provides basic analytics that regular folks like me can understand. Ability to add labels/tags for filtering and organization. One-time or recurring events are simple to schedule. One-click download to add to my calendar. I do like the social/comments idea of the platform when it is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Localist?

In our particular application, there just isn't very much traffic. The idea of a dedicated event calendar can feel like too much when everyone already uses their own CRM or email lists to communicate about events. More flexible integrations would be a nice feature, like if Localist could pull in events automatically from third-party CRMs. Customizeable reminder messages and follow-up messaging would also add value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Localist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need an easy-to-use way to communicate with a broader audience than I usually have access to within my small department. Localist gives me a public, external, linkable place to refer the public. Note that, in my situation, using my website for this purpose is not an option. Localist is also the default/only event calendar for getting content posted front and center on our precious homepage real estate. It Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Localist at University of Missouri"

4/5

What do you like best about Localist?

Localist provides excellent technical support and integrations for our campus events calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Localist?

I would like more flexibility for user interface template designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Localist:

As with other SaaS purchases, make sure it meets your organization's security requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Localist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our campus had calendars and events created in local websites and systems that did not allow us to fully leverage the ability to market these events using modern tools and technologies. Localist has allowed us to create a single events calendar that feeds website calendars from a central location, saving us development and support costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
