VeryConnect

VeryConnect is a compact software which gives you all the features you need with a price tag that doesn't hurt. The team is great and they work very closely with you. In the initial stages we had a few Skype meetings, to-do lists and email correspondence - all of which were very useful. The company doesn't simply sell you the product, they work with you to understand your clients and your needs.

I had a basic idea of what we could do via the portal to reach our alumni, but VeryConnect came with features such as a weekly digest, direct mailing, groups, (and more recently, polls). VeryConnect has helped us increase our alumni engagement steadily since we started working with them.

I was a bit worried about communication as we are in the southern hemisphere while VeryConnect is in the Northern hemisphere. This has never proved to be an issue. I often send an email when it's my morning, which is often around 10pm Scotland time, and I always get a response. Any issues or concerns I have is resolved quickly, and I am informed in case something will take a couple of days to sort. The team never forgets to keep me updated.

In this time when we are dealing with a pandemic, the VeryConnect team was on standby and in fact created a new tab for us to allow us to share coronavirus related information with our stakeholders.
Customer service is top-notch and the product is efficient, useful and simple enough for any non-IT specialist to operate.

Nothing at all. Whatever hiccups we have is resolved within hours.

There are a lot of great things but I must say the customer service and the communication.
In terms of working with software company, I think the hardest thing is thr communication.
It doesn’t matter how great the product is if the company can’t understand our customer’s needs and find a right approach, it will never work. But Veryconnect, CSR, he is always trying his best to see things in our perspectives and understand from our view.
He has got an innovative mindset, which is a crucial element for a leader to have to connect with the customers and also motivate the team.
He is in Scotland and our company is in Sydney. But I have to say, the communication has never been delayed, actually much better than companies in Sydney.
Because of he and his team, we were able to create something that tailored to our customers needs and also our staff needs.
Of course the quality of Veryconnect system is outstanding, but they also have something else that others don’t have, that’s why my review had been focused on the unique competitive advantages that Veryconnect has.

Nothing is perfect in this world but the way they try to make it perfect for their clients, that’s why there is nothing to say for me here.

Scholars, Alumni, and our staff all find the software easy to use.
Reporting and keeping track of our community is easy.
The software helps our Scholars to connect with each other.
The blogs are popular and give our Scholars an opportunity for reflective learning.
Customer support is swift and any questions we've had have been answered quickly.

No complaints. We have just put forward desired tweaks regarding blog formatting and search, and the VeryConnect team has confirmed that they will get these done by the desired date.

Customizable, easy to use and dependable.

Nothing to say here except that I regret not finding it sooner!
