Pros

“Best of all, the Support staff are REAL people who respond to my email requests quickly, patiently, and skillfully. Plus, it makes sorting out reports (like who gets which T-shirt) easy.”

Kay C.

Volunteer Coordinator

“I would like a simple table of contents for each problem people encounter, click on it, receive solution (especially for those who have trouble remembering - the elderly volunteer coordinators)!”

Debra B.

Volunteer Coordinator

“Getting our existing data into the system from our previous platform was a challenge. If you are starting from scratch, the setup is seamless, but be prepared for some friction if you are moving over a large database.”

Douglas B.

Member

Pros

“The feature that I like best is that I can duplicate sign-ups from previous years and adapt them with new dates and times.”

Sheila C.

Director of Development

“Parents love that they can see who else signed up in each area, so they know who they will be working with.”

Sheila C.

Director of Development

“Overall, SignUpGenius is a reliable and efficient solution for schools, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations.”

Ashley G.

HR Manager

Cons

“There was nothing that I didn't like, but what I struggled a bit with was that our use of the site might need to have some large changes in order to make quick fixes.”

Lindsay R.

Volunteer Coordinator

“The inability to send texts and emails to individuals.”

Brenda L.

Volunteer Coordinator

“I wish the YouTube channel were updated more frequently, I do like using that as a resource, but when the interface changes and the tutorial doesn't reflect that change, it can be confusing.”

Liz B.

Volunteer Coordinator

Cons

“My biggest complaint with SignUpGenius is that it's not very user-friendly when you need to change your selections after signing up.”

Ashley G.

HR Manager

“To send 6-12 SignUps annually, it isn't cost-effective to pay for it, but the ads are impossible to navigate around.”

Bill P.

CEO

“Sign-up Genius can be a bit clunky in ways.”
