Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • After my 1st event using FestiVOL, I found the software to be intuitive and straightforward. For my first time managing volunteers at Okeechobee Festival 2020, FestiVOL helped simplify the entire event labor management process from start to finish. One of the features I found to be the most useful were the database with a history of workers previous event shifts. Here, I was able to see if the person had worked past events and successfully completed their shifts, registered for an event and didn't show up to one or more of their shifts, or even begun the application process but didn't finalize or receive shifts. This was extremely useful when trying to schedule workers in more critical or high-demand jobs. The software also extremely helpful with payroll by allowing us to easily enter worker's personal information into our records upon their arrival and check-in process. Finally, several event department heads appreciated how easy it was to track and input individual worker performance into FestiVOL upon the completion of each shift.
  • Easy to set up and execute for the admins and producers. Able to scale and customize easily.
  • Biggest pro is that if there's any time you're unsure of what to do on a certain page or how to work a certain function, there FAQs and self-guided information pages that explain everything clearly.
  • The Program is a great resource for event staffing solutions. It is easy to operate and makes organizing large scale event much more manageable.
  • festiVOL has saved me hundreds of hours of work. Having a one-stop-shop to communicate with 100+ volunteers has been a total life saver. The volunteer application is easy enough to customize and comes with great language regarding event liability. The application is easy to tweak from year to year, saving hours of busy work. The ability for volunteers to self-schedule saves tons of time too. The overall professional nature of festiVOL makes volunteers more accountable than my previous arrangements, plus the deposit structure allows me to safeguard against volunteers who default on their contract. Most of all, customer service is timely, thorough, and genuinely interested in helping me produce effective events while requesting constructive feedback to help festiVOL improve each year.

Cons

  • There were not any Cons to using the software that I can recall.
  • Not a lot.
  • Sometimes customizing an event after starting with a template can get a little wonky, but it usually sorts itself out.
  • The system is way too helpful and user friendly.
  • There are few things that can be limiting when using festiVOL. My event sells tickets in tiered pricing, so the ticket price increases as the event gets closer; however, I am only able to set one price for the volunteer deposit upon creation of the event on festiVOL. It would be ideal for the volunteer deposit to equal the current cost of the event ticket at the volunteer's time of purchase. It would also be helpful if volunteers could submit their deposit in installments, since most of my volunteers are joining the program because they are financially unable to buy a regular ticket.
