SchoolMessenger vs. UUKI

This is great for schools who want a bulk package of services at a competitive cost. Older website designs limit functionality and have a very square design. SchoolMessenger has more modern templates with newer capabilities which is better for visitors of the site. The functionality is great for parents who are accessing the site on the go, which happens more often than you know.

If you're looking for an affordable alternative to platforms like Circle, UUKI could be a perfect fit. It offers similar functionality for a much more affordable price. No member limit, no storage limits, while still being able to white label your own community. However, be aware that it's still in development. There are certainly some bugs to be fixed and a few updates required to truly compete with the others.

• It is widely used.

• Spaces, where we set the topis for people to engage in an organized manner
• Easy to use, it has everything you need, no fluff, very intuitive
• Great Support, the development team behind really listens to their users, and nurture their own community

• There's nothing I dislike. This program is very straight forward to use.
• It just works well.

• Some tweaks on UI/UX to make it more polished
• I would appreciate a better roadmap (instead of a trello board)
• Allowing translating the string to change the language style to meet the community's style (like Ay mate! for Pirate of the Caribbean fan's community)

No reason not to continue using UUKI and expand upon it.

SchoolMessenger serves our main purpose of sending out emergency notifications and notices to parents. It is great to cut down on the paper use and the ability to attach documents to our notes. We have used this to send home notifications from our Parent-Teacher Organization. Parents have thanked us for sending a back ups due to papers being misplaced and knowing that they have a backup through email.

Overall, this is a good, effective, and cost-efficient product. It is missing some key functionality we had with a previous program which limits my total score, but I still think a lot of school districts can get a lot out of SchoolMessenger. The features and functions they do include work well.

The support is fantastic. I have never had such complete support from a technology service. Every issue has been resolved while I was on the phone. I never had to wait for a callback or an advanced support tech. Their people are very well trained in their product and how to meet their customer's needs.

UUKI is extremely easy to implement but requires a brief period of time to understand where all of its controls are. (not a real issue)

UUKI is moving a lot faster than other platforms. Plus the fact that they are building with the community makes it easier to learn from others who have implemented it for their respective use cases. We selected it because of the value proposition and its affordability which make it a failsafe investment. Plus the founders have experience in building products which is always assuring

• Lost the confidence of families that we were protecting their data.
• Refused to refund our funds after they released confidential information.
• Required extensive resources to find another product.

• I like the fact that Ankur and his team really listen to their early users. They just keep on improving UUKI and it's really not that hard to transfer your community from FB to UUKI. There are just so many features and it keeps on improving.
• UUKI really helps you build your community. You can transfer your audience from Facebook that has a lot of restrictions to your own exclusive community
