Localist

Web-based

Coordinator, Academic Operations

I enjoy the ease of use and the ability to login through multiple methods. This is especially useful for students and other visitors trying to connect to our interface.

Digital Project Manager

I like that the platform is very user friendly. We train users around the university to add events and is it extremely helpful to be user friendly.

Senior Training, Support and Outreach Coordinator

From administrators to calendar users, the platform is intuitive to use and offers truly useful features. Our users love the ease of expressing interest in an event and notifications in their inbox.

Brand Manager

Pretty satisfied with it, though there's always room for improvement. Team is responsive and helpful.

Web Technology Marketing Manager

The website integration is awesome. Also love the community that it builds for our users.

It's very user focused, very customizable, and a great solution for Higher Ed where so many different parts of the org have slightly different needs that can be accommodated.

Director of Web Communications

The customer service at Localist is excellent. They are proactive by checking in regularly and when we have an issue or question they address it right away.

Web Designer

It's very easy to get started and set up a basic email. Support is very helpful and great about determining what issues I'm having.

Information Systems Developer

The lack of a writable API is discouraging and makes it difficult to integrate with our other systems.

Assistant director of internal communication

The approval process is quick and easy. The calendar looks good.

Associate Director for Web Services

The submission of events makes it easy for people to submit their events to the college. I also like the concept of the channels to create focused event series.

Web Systems Director

The calendar has little to no spam protection so users can post hundreds of bogus reviews while trying to farm clicks on our platform.

Associate Director, Digital Service

Support team is very responsive and helpful at all times.

CRM & Email Marketing Manager

The functionality works well and the integration with other websites has been great for our use.

Media Relations Specialist

Inability to manage RSS feeds of content in a custom way, but that could just be me.

Marketing & Communications Manager

Some limited visual features to style the feed with code.

Ease of Use

Thanks for such a positive review, Michelle!

Worked well for my institution

Thanks for your feedback and positive review Giada!

The overall experience was ok but I wouldn't go through that again. Give the sales guy a medal for selling this software to us. He promised simplicity and ease in terms of spinning up landing pages for a global events team made it seem very easy on the demos but when we actually started using the product, we realized that it just isn't ready for an enterprise-level company. 

Review

Thanks for your feedback Hassan. I've passed this along to our sales team. 

localist review

The School of Film, Media and Theatre is a fairly new department at Georgia State University. As we endeavor to raise our profile across campus and on various digital platforms, Localist has enabled us to communicate our presence on campus rather effectively. It interfaces with our website very well.

Raising Our Profile
