Ability to load our own lists and the ability to link profiles to LinkedIn or Facebook. It's also easy to download Alumni updates for our database.
Slow updates and new feature roll outs. Also inability to match mentors to mentees and see connections.

The entire process has been delightful. Our Professional Service Manager was available whenever I needed her during the set up process and our Account Manager has answered all my questions promptly and they are always interested in our feedback and needs. They are always looking to improve the platform for their users. We like the ease of registration for our alumni. You need to make it easy for them. As an Admin of the account I have very much enjoyed the free webinars Graduway offers along with recording of many topics on their Graduway TV. Hearing best practices and meeting other Admins has been extremely beneficial.
We needed a platform that would allow our alumni to connect with each other more organically and the Graduway platform allows this to happen. Their platform offered the most extensive package with the mentoring piece being something we were very excited about. We were also delighted that an app version was available! All these features would thrill our alumni while allowing us to capture the information we didn't have.
The only issue I have is that the great add ons are quite expensive especially to K-12 schools. We don't have the budgets that large universities do.

Offer our alumni the possibility to reconnect and interact (for example in interest groups) in a environment especially adapted to them.
Interesting features. For example the directory is a great tool for our alumni to reconnect. They can sign in with LinkedIn, which makes it very easy to use. It can easily be switched between the user and admin interface, which facilitates daily work.
Quite hard to precisely know, which and how notifiactions will be sent, so sometimes you'll have to create a fake account, to actually see it. Customization possibilites are quite limited (e.g. newsletter picks out parts of the webpage without the ability to adapt), adaption to client's needs is in, many cases, not possible (events are automatically deleted after event date, although we'd need the space for after event surveys etc., to create events for a closed group of selected alumni you'll first have to create a group with these profiles, then create the event in the group and then invite them by name etc.).

In my 37 years in Higher Education, I have not had a platform that truly can impact our brand (stories) to enhance our reputation and engage our alumni like Graduway has in a short period of time. Everything they have promised they have delivered and more. They are incredibly responsive to our suggestions and their customer service is outstanding. The campus wide community has embraced this tool, understanding...
It provides our alumni and students significant career navigation, mentoring and networking opportunities. Enhancing our reputation and brand through stories. Providing prospective students and their parent's value (outcomes ) to our degree. Mentoring opportunities for our alumni to mentor our students. This tool can also have a big impact on meeting enrollment and retention goals
It takes time to navigate the university academic side of the house to create win/win scenarios -- one needs to be patient but no doubt the effort will pay off in the long run . Need to create champions through out the university to maximize what the effectiveness of the platform.
Thank you Jim for the review.

We have had an excellent experience with Graduway. The customer service is amazing, they are always making improvements and changes to meet the needs of their clients and they take great pride in their product - all wonderful qualities of a great partner!
The Graduway product offered an excellent solution to our community by providing a user-friendly and dynamic directory, which was the main feature we were looking for in new software. In addition to the directory, we have been able to engage students and alumni through mentoring and group connections as well as promote our events through the system. The digest feature is one of the best tools on the platform and really promotes interaction and user engagement. We are very pleased with the product!
If Graduway had a simple integration with BBCRM that would be ideal for our campus.
