Anthology, Inc
Importing and exporting data is failry easy. Automation for e-mail marketing is severely lacking.

Peoplegrove works incredibly well for our students in the College of Liberal Arts and some Caspersen Graduate School programs (Master in Finance, Data Analytics). It does not function as well for our Theological School students.

Pros
Anthology, Inc
  • It allows us to create fields as needed.
  • Creating an export of data is really easy.
  • Merging of records is fairly simple.

PeopleGrove
  • Innovation. PeopleGrove regularly works on the platform to provide the best possible experience, tools, and opportunities for the end user and to make administration of the platform as seamless as possible for the administrators of the platform within Drew.
  • Responsiveness. When a support ticket is submitted, PG generally responds within less than a day. That said, support tickets are rarely necessary because PG has so much online guidance available for administrators.
  • Customer Service. PG has an amazing support team for each customer. We have been very happy with the support we receive from our contacts within PeopleGrove.

Cons
Anthology, Inc
  • A more inclusive duplicate identification tool would be great.
  • QR tickets for event registrants would be great and move you into this century.
  • Allowing more flexibility with event creation is vital to us at this time.
  • Additional automation would be great. Email event info, then to those not registered, then a reminder to those registered. Now it is entirely manual throughout the entire process.

  • There is a feature within groups where an admin of a group can add a resource, but cannot pin the resource. Only the hub admin can go in to pin the resource. It would be preferable to allow group admins to perform that function.

It does not have the automation or event tools that we are desperately needing at this time.

I usually get an accurate response to issues. Your service techs are knowledgeable in how the software works and is set up.

N/A I've only attended webinar training, which is great when you are on live, not so much when watching a recording.

We actually evaluated several companies when selecting the platform in 2017 but most of the other businesses no longer exist. We selected PeopleGrove over Graduway because at the time Graduway appeared cluttered while PeopleGrove was then and has remained "clean."

Return on Investment
Anthology, Inc
  • The cleanup process is very painful due to lack of any automation
  • Identity checkpoint would be great if we could control the fields being matched.
Read full review
PeopleGrove
  • Approzimately 1/3 of our students across the CLA and Graduate School are on the platform to use it to explore the alumni network.
  • The platform has features that ease staff burden; gone are the days of manual matching of students and alums. Students can access alums directly -- and when a program is implemented, matching can be done automatically after just noting a few parameters. And reminderr to meet are automatic!
