Pros

It has many intuitive qualities that help the use execute the objective of obtaining published positive reviews online. The support is consistently excellent.
Grade.us makes it easy to Capture the customer experience and scaling has been wonderful. Excellent customer support.
Each one was answered quickly and completely. Nice to know there is a company with great customer service that is there when you WANT it.

Pros

I find that very helpful in knowing peoples interest in reviewing us. The customer service has always been helpful and very responsive.
We have seen such an phenomenal growth with our company. We have tripled our sales and are able to have our amazing clients leave amazing stories on their experience.
Our agency has really enjoyed working with BirdEye. It's proved to be a very effective way to manage the review process for our clients - and has yielded some great results.

Cons

We have seen first hand how reviews that are not funneled or attended to or even requested and can be very destructive to a business.
No deeplinking support for native mobile apps. Breaks all the time causing angry clients.
Then you find that none of the changes they made stuck. When I tried calling tech support, (twice) no one was available.

Cons

Finding the review request button is now difficult. My employees will no longer use the product due to difficulty to use and I am getting tired of emails and texts all day.
Getting to speak with someone or cancelling a contract that was done incorrectly the first time was a problem. They don't return phone calls.
Minor complaint - time frames for viewing reports don't have a simple "last month" option.

You Get What You Pay For

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall, I did not have a good experience with Grade.us. I ended up cancelling with them and signing a contract with Birdeye. I would not recommend them until they update their software and hire more support team.

Pros

Setup was fairly simple. I liked that there was no contract so you could cancel at any time, which I ended up needing.

Cons

The support response time was awful. There was an issue with texts not going through on AT&T cell numbers, and their response was to either 1) chance it and some will go through or 2) not send SMS messages. Unacceptable. They hadn't even reached out to AT&T to resolve the issue yet.

Vendor response

Hi Kristin, We want to thank you for your honest review. After reading through your correspondence with our staff, we completely understand your frustration. Continuous improvement in our app and services has been a huge focus for us these past few months and although we did not show you the best of Grade us in the past, we know we can in the future if you ever do decide to return.

the Lighter Side Of Reputation Management

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall, the reputation management success we've had with Reputology is on par with any other platform out there. The API is definitely a plus for those looking to integrate their own apps.

Pros

Okay, so full disclosure we've used and still do use several other reputation management products out there in parallel with Reputology, including Birdeye, YEXT and Revinate. Reputology's main allure is its price and API to things like GMB and Facebook. It definitely works as easily as all the other big names in that list - with the notable exception of YEXT, which is more geared towards enterprise class chains.

Cons

It's not the software per-say, it's just the nature of the relationship management game out there today. for instance, you can't properly pull or respond to Yelp without the new paid relationship with them, so it doesn't matter who you use to manage reviews on certain platforms, you end up paying someone something to do it. But that has nothing to do with Reputology, and everything to do in your willingness to invest in this side of the game. For hotels like us, it's critical.
