What do you like best about RAVE Alert?

The ability to manage many users and to provide roles for each group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAVE Alert?

Interface design. As with many software that was built in the past the interface stays the same even though other assets have been improved the interface should also follow the updates to align with a modern interface. This is an ongoing and difficult task to stay current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rave Alert Review"
5/5
What do you like best about RAVE Alert?

I use Rave Alert to set up overtime for our correctional facility. I like how it allows me to select certain users, rather than blast everyone and bother them on their days off. I also like the fact that I can choose how they receive the message, so that they cannot say they didn't receive it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAVE Alert?

It is more difficult to retrieve responses received through Rave when people respond to the texts. It would be helpful if the responses were right on the dashboard when you sign in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RAVE Alert works well all the time. It is easy to set up and use."
4.5/5
What do you like best about RAVE Alert?

It is easy to use. Easy to train other users.

As the administrator of the service it is my responsibility to make sure that the system is 1. running and reliable 2. usable to the customers (safety and security) 3. functioning 24/7/365.

1. The product is bulletproof. We have never had a problem with uptime.

2. With an almost flat learning curve our Safety and Security department has been using RAVE for years without much retraining. As new staff come and go, knowledge is easily transferable.

3. This product needs to run 24/7/365. It has never failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAVE Alert?

There is no sorting of alerts templates. It would be great if you could group them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RAVE Alert?

Simplicity and reliability. We've had success with RAVE over the past few years. Our end users are happy with their experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RAVE Alert?

It would be nice for the end user and /or the sender to be able to cause the alert to trigger different sounds or reactions on the end user's phone. We send different levels of alerts and have yet to find a way for a low level alert to not wake up users but a critical alert to wake them up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
