## Reviews

### "Grove City, Ohio" — 5.0/5

> **Kelly** | *May 28, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use compared to over other rec programs
> 
> **Cons**: There are still bugs in League Manager. We use this to schedule games at 13 baseball fields and 9 schools. We still have issues with double headers and not allowing us to manipulate the system to our needs.
> 
> Very good - customer service is the best I have ever worked

-----

### "This software causes more headaches than it fixes." — 2.0/5

> **Brady** | *June 13, 2024* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Better value than some software packages.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not reliable and we have lost thousands of dollars while the software is down or having huge latency issues. (One simple POS sale can take up to 5 minutes, with a line stretching out the door 30 people deep.)
> 
> I would switch software if it was my decision.

-----

### "One of the best products we have used for registration" — 5.0/5

> **Michele** | *May 10, 2024* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Online booking for facilities - the ease and clarity of accounting for our contractors and staff
> 
> **Cons**: After talking with some other cities we found what we are paying for the product is a little higher than others. We even have been told by CivicRec that we are a "premier customer" which I think they mean to say as a compliment but can feel like we are just a customer that is paying more. :(
> 
> Even with our cons about price, we have thoroughly loved the staff that we work with at CivicRec. From the day we launched they have stayed with us and still connect and check in. \[sensitive content hidden\], our sales rep, continues to check in and I have never had a sales rep continue to do that after a purchase on any product. And \[sensitive content hidden\] is and has been amazing. We truly love the product and team associated with it.

-----

### "Great Support, Product, and Capabilities" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *May 14, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Amazing project manager. Very structured implementation process. Feature rich software and great customer support after go-live.
> 
> **Cons**: limited capabilities on mobile version of back-office application using iOS devices (iPads and iPhones). We overcame this using Microsoft Surface Pro tablets.

-----

### "CIVIC REC" — 5.0/5

> **John W** | *December 12, 2018* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Flexibility of the product puts it at the top of the heap for our Department's needs.  The already canned Financial and Roster reports are 2nd to none.  The reports capture all the information that our Finance folks want to see.  Being web-based instead of seat or hardware based has been the key to our success.  Being restricted by seat usage really infringed on our customer service.  Now, that we are web-based, we the ability sign up anyone and at anytime and at any location.
> 
> **Cons**: The occasional updates sometimes interfere with our business the next day, but 99% of the time, it is fixed within the hour.
> 
> The use of CIVIC REC in our department...I can't put a value on it.  Our employees love it, as well as our citizens in this great county\!
