Snap Audition review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My organization has used Snap Audition for the first time for our limited round of December auditions. We are considering using it for our large round of spring auditions now as well (~1000 students). Three months ago, Snap Audition did not have the functionality to work for my organization in the way we needed it to, but in the time since then the Snap team has worked with me directly to add all kinds of functionality that we needed. There are still elements that will need to be added or tweaked for an audition round as large as we have, but I trust that the team will be able to take care of it. One thing to know is that every aspect of Snap Audition must be tested thoroughly before bringing it to the public/judges to know that there aren't any bugs that might occur. The admin interface is not the most user-friendly but easy enough to learn once you've spent some time with it. This product is definitely worth it especially for medium and small sized organizations.
Pros
- Communication from Snap team
- Functionality for different audition modes
- Decent level of customization
Cons
- User interface for admin/families/and judges
- Needs a more robust sandbox testing area
- More robust registration form (needs conditional logic)
Likelihood to Recommend
For small to medium sized arts organizations, all state music auditions, in-school auditions, etc. I see Snap Audtion working very well. When an org needs a high level of specificity it can be a little difficult to make Snap Audition work exactly as you need it, but the team is very responsive.
