"Using NaviGate Prepared has lessen my fear of being in the education field. "
5/5
What do you like best about Navigate360?

The lessons I have learned since NaviGate Prepared has come into our school system is what I like best. Before NaviGate Prepared was introduced I have no real sense of what to do in an emergency. I had no way to contact anyone if I was outside of my classroom or in the cafeteria. Not only that but I was only taught to wait for instructions for my next in an emergency. It is so wonderful to know that in a dire emergency the best judgment is my own. To be informed on how to prepare for an emergency or crisis situation and to know that emergency responders will come at a moments notice and know how to find you is great, Not only that but, to have a device that can communicate to all that you're ok and you have all your students at your fingertips is priceless.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

I can not think of anything wrong with the program as of yet. The only concern I have is for the knowledge of the school maps to go from school to responder. Someone can hack emails and get that information possibly. Having the blueprints of so many schools in one location and possibly on a hackable source is my only concern.

What problems is Navigate360 solving and how is that benefiting you?

In a school setting the only busy we have is the welfare of our students. NaviGate Prepared has helped to make our student population safer and accounted for. The benefit I have realized the most is to take charge of a given dangerous situation and come out on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Navigate360?

The ability for teachers to instantly check in their students from anywhere inside and outside of the building is awesome. No more running around with clipboards wondering if everyone has checked in. Syncing your student information with the app will provide up to date information for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

Since the app/website contains all of the information, which is nice, it is sometimes daunting for new users to locate certain information and get used to the terminology of the NaviGate system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Navigate360 solving and how is that benefiting you?

The program allows or a streamlined approach to safety and communication. Drills and scenarios are done more efficiently and staff feel better prepared.

"Fantastic Assist in Emergency Planning"
5/5
What do you like best about Navigate360?

The Plan Wizard is very simple to use, and being based on FEMA's template makes it very thorough. Helped me to consider steps and processes I never thought of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

We have to use a 3rd party interface so that the student/staff information uploads and syncs to Navigate. This proved to be cumbersome to successfully set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Navigate360 solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the first time, my school has a very thorough emergency plan that goes far beyond evacuation. We extensively use the training scenarios. We are still learning the use of the student accountability section of the Respond feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NaviGate Prepared"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Navigate360?

I like that there is an app on my phone that I can use in the case of an emergency at school. I typically have my phone on my person and like that I can quickly access my rosters as well as the entire school to account for children. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

I would like to have more practice with it first. I would like there to be a quick guide or simulation that I could do on my own to learn the app better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the maps. I love how you can add symbols and how they can be customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

The training is confusing...only because I am probably doing three things at once. You need to stay focused while doing the training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solving our issue of maps and exits is a huge relief. Getting our emergency responders involved will be a huge step, but once they see it, they will appreciate seeing that we are prepared for emergencies! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best School Safety Software out there!"
5/5
What do you like best about Navigate360?

I like the interface and what I can do with the data. I can manage all of my school safety information in one program and it auto loads all of my roster. The customer support is what brings it home! They host webinars, in-person conferences and is quick to call me personally to work on questions and deployment. They know me personally! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navigate360?

About the only thing I worry about is the need for being connected to data to get the safety plans and flipcharts. If there is a way to download it locally to a device that might be good and then it syncs when connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
