Good options, if you need, for multiple venues for disseminating alerts. > > **Cons**: UI look and feel are present, but basic. Template creation could be more intuitive. Need a bit more technical know how to manage. > > Alert notifications sent out seem to be consistent and reliable. ----- ### "Trust in your ENS chosen company" — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *23 November 2021* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is intuitive, easy to use and works well. They also provide training that is always available. The company is open to suggestions and they keep improving the system. > > **Cons**: There are some new features that I am not familiar with but I'm sure it is because I have not kept up with the training that Rave has offered. > > We switched from MIR3 which was a nightmare to use. It was very confusing and counter intuitive. That was about 8-10 years ago. We also use th Rave Guardian system but that did not uinfluence our decision to go with Rave Alert. I have no regrets and feel like Rave is still the best choince for ENS in higher education. ----- ### "Rave Alert Review" — 3.0/5 > **Sonya** | *13 December 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about the software if the ease of use. There are a few easy steps to sending an alert, so when seconds matter, it is really easy to get a message out. I also appreciate that I feel like by bringing on Deron Lord, Rave really was trying to do the most for their customers. I really appreciate being able to ask Deron anything, or voice my concerns and he ALWAYS comes back with an answer. > > **Cons**: I absolutely hate the fact that we don't have access to our subscribers. We have lost customers that want to deal directly with us in getting things changed or set up, but we are forced to direct them to an email address for assistance....that is within 24 hours. I actually just went and changed my recommendation on the previous page from 10 to 6...almost 5 for this very reason. I wish that Rave would get with the times as far as the character limitations on a character limits. Twitter has a character limit of 280 now and most cell phones have no problem with more than that. Limiting a short or Twitter message to 160 seems archaic. Also, not loving the side menu over the tabs across the top. It is alot harder to find where to change system items now. > > We have had really good experiences with Rave Alert for the most part. Again, the biggest complaint is not being able to access citizen data so that we can assist them. We have sent notification messages and EAS messages with ease. ----- ### "Decent product" — 4.0/5 > **Crystal** | *01 December 2021* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Typically has little or no issues. Could improve user interface but overall functions. > > **Cons**: Appears that they did away with the map for tornado warnings. > > Functions as expected. No major impacts and loss of services is rare. Reliable. ----- ### "Rave Application in the Chemical Industry" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *02 December 2021* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to access and being able to notify mass groups when needed. > > **Cons**: I still find it a little confusing on selectin and deselecting the delivery methods. I would also like to see an app that can be used on your mobile device. > > Best way to do group notifications and customized notifications. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/178407/rave-alert?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/178407/rave-alert) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
