Reviews of Crossbar
Happy we made the change!
Comments: Coming from an antiquated platform over to Crossbar was a dream! The support is amazing and the features were everything that we had wanted and longed for. It produces a nice looking page and easy to use functions.
Pros:
Most functions were easy to use and intuitive. I loved the ease of the email function and ability to add links and photos, resulting in an attractive final product. Also having the app functions was a great addition from our last platform. Our parents loved the ability to view the roster and the chat function proved vital.
Cons:
We encountered a small learning curve, but the support staff was always quick to answer our questions.
Alternatives Considered: SportsEngine
Reasons for Choosing Crossbar: We needed something up to date with more features and functions that we did not have in our old platform. It was clunky and antiquated. Did not look nice nor function great.
Reasons for Switching to Crossbar: We have a multisport cross over and this was a nice looking, easy to use product that some had experience with in the other sport.
Great tool for sports management!!!
Comments: We love Crossbar and we know improvements are coming to help in the areas it may lack. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Price is great! Support is great!
Pros:
It looks very modern and professional. Very user friendly for setup and use. Support has been awesome and one of the main reasons I would suggest to others. [sensitive content hidden] is great!!
Cons:
There are a lot of good help documents but they are very high level and could be detailed out more with different scenarios. Examples from other organizations for different sports would be VERY helpful so users can setup based on someone else's experiences to save time and energy.
Alternatives Considered: TeamSnap, GameChanger and SportsEngine
Reasons for Choosing Crossbar: It was being sold and converted to SportsEngine (I think). But it was very old technology and very pricey and not user friendly.
Switched From: SportsEngine
Reasons for Switching to Crossbar: Price, look and feel, usability, and word of mouth that support is great.
Needs Work
Pros:
Site is okay. Needs work and more abilities for website admin
Cons:
Not easy to use, No ability to delete registrations, cannot add custom stats, does not have face offs, email functionality is not easy to use
Thanks for reaching out to my email box!
Comments:
The whole process has been super easy and the staff have always been available to help. I love the chat function, and I have used it many times.
[sensitive content hidden] makes herself available to me and my board members and walks us through set ups slowly and works hard to make our needs accomplishable.
Pros:
Ease of use. [sensitive content hidden] is always so pleasant and walks me through things I don't understand.
Cons:
I can't think of any right now. We only started using this a couple weeks ago.
Alternatives Considered: Sports Connect
Reasons for Choosing Crossbar: Boathouse Connect took up way too much time working with individuals, correctly errors that members made when registering and we spent quite a bit of money on errors that could have been avoided.
Switched From: Boatyard
Reasons for Switching to Crossbar: It had the functions that we needed and if there was something that was not 'normal' for Crossbar then they figured out how to make it work for us.
Winning with Crossbar
Comments: From purchase to implementation the people at Crossbar were top notch. The software works great and their development team listens to their users.
Pros:
Easy to use website for my end users. Easy to program for an admin and the volunteer function is top notch.
Cons:
A few small items that could be more tailored to our org like using hours for volunteer functionality instead of instances.
Alternatives Considered: TeamLinkt, GameChanger, LeagueApps, SportsEngine and Jersey Watch
Reasons for Choosing Crossbar: Functionality and Volunteer management were ahead of the competition.
Switched From: SportsEngine
Reasons for Switching to Crossbar: Volunteer functionally and streamline registration and team management.
