VolunteerMark is easy to set up and very useful in organizing and managing volunteers and vistors in any school. From setting up specific appointment times for parents to come in to organizing specific meetings and grade level parents, all are easy to manage. It can be accessed through social media, apps and links. It is readily accessible to all.

The only drawback was making an inpromtu event or a one time event. If it is not reoccuring, it is hard to create an event for this. It would have to be specified in the description.

Summary:

Volunteermark is easily to use, and useful to organize people, events and groups. It is a must for any organization.

VolunteerMark is functional and easy to use. We use the system to reserve and book volunteer groups for our Family Meal program. I like the ease with which volunteer groups can view availability and sign up for a volunteer date. The process is short, simple and quick. Another feature of the software that I like and it's not related to the software itself, but the system's tech support and customer service. There have been a couple of instances where I have made suggestions to the tech team to improve our end-users experience. Not only were they receptive to my suggestions, but the implemented them as well. Most recently, they created custom links for my organization within the system so volunteers could easily and quickly find the next available volunteer date. Previously, volunteers had to click through several informational pages to get to the calendars for availability. Now, they are directed straight to the calendars. It's been a great improvement.

The system is frequently revised and tweaked for improvements/efficiencies, etc., and I'm not always made aware that changes to the system have been made. I wish that the organization's software administrators were told when changes are made and what the changes are before users discover them on their own.

Summary:

Overall, my experience with VolunteerMark has been fantastic. We like the system and will continue to use it.

- I like that it is easy for users to sign up and pick a date to volunteer. - I like that I get an email every time someone signs up for a volunteer shift and that I have to confirm it before it goes on the calendar. - I like that when someone has applied for a date, it appears as "blocked" on the calendar until I confirm it. - The customer service reps are always quick to respond in the chat and help me solve the problem. It is not always a fast fix, but they are always helpful.

- You should be able to un-click a volunteer opportunity to not see it on your main calendar, or make it so that specific administrators can only see the volunteer opportunities that they coordinate. I have to go to our web page to see the calendar that the users would view to see which dates are open or covered. - The messaging in the software is not user friendly. - The customer service is helpful but it takes a long time to get answers. - You cannot add one-time shifts to an ongoing volunteer opportunity. This means the one-time shifts will not be added to the main calendar for the volunteer opportunity, so all volunteer shifts are on fixed days and times. This works, in theory, but it is not realistic for the ever growing needs of an organization and its volunteers. It would be great to be able to track everything all in one place! - In general, I think I wish it were more customizable.

This product works well for our organization, but it still needs some adapting to better suit our needs. There are some missing functions and customizing capabilities that would make this software really stand out. In general, it is easy to use and serves its purpose, but could use some more functions.

We did the free trials for several different Volunteer Management software options. While it didn't have as many bells & whistles as the more expensive solutions, VolunteerMark seemed to be one of the most intuitive solutions. The VolunteerMark support was the thing that stood out the most for me. They were very responsive during our free trial and were easy to work with!

Drawbacks:

We haven't been using it long enough to really create an exhaustive list. 1. I do wish it had a way of entering hours that were put in pre-VolunteerMark from the our end. Right now, that has to occur from supports end. 2. VolunteerMark really needs to add a way of adding a profile picture from the organzation's end. Right now, the only way to do this is from the voluteer's end which doesn't make sense; especially for non-tech savvy volunteers.

The flexibility to add and drop section to meet our needs. This software changes the game for event management and planning! There are so many automated functions that take the stress of of planning large events.

It is designed to be versatile. We can scale it to be highly detailed for a large event or make it more simple for something smaller. The variety of reports that it can produce is extremely helpful. Being able to send emails and texts to volunteers is easy! Also, the automation features are fantastic, both filling gaps in the schedule when volunteers cancel and being able to send messages to volunteers.

In the administrator view, the names/titles of menu items take some getting used to. At initial glance, the report or feature that a menu item connects to is not always obvious. But after using it for awhile you get accustomed to it.

I love the accessibility of this software. We were able to use it easily to get needed information about our volunteers, which greatly improved our ability to meet patient needs. We also loved the available data captured through the program to measure the value of our volunteer workforce.
