Reviews of TeamGenius
Team Genuis Great App
Comments: Love it! Makes our evaluation process so much easier. Plus the support we received from the team was amazing. 30mins or less was the typical response time to a support question, and most times tit was under 20mins.
Pros:
This is a great app for evaluation software. We use it for a large minor hockey organization that is over 1000 players, and the ease of use, of the software is second to none. Scores are entered and visible in real time, and as soon as the evaluation is complete we can export, and view the scores via multiple file formats. It makes for super quick turnaround.
Cons:
The software does take some getting use to, and if you have another association that has already used the software it might be easier to have them help you with setup. We went through multiple test evaluations before we got it down, but once we did, we just cloned it for other divisions.
Great tool to help facilitate your tryouts
Comments: Our experience with TeamGenius has been overall excellent. We went from an old "paper" style evaluation process - which then entailed numerous hours of manual data entry. The likelihood of human errors transferring information between forms to excel sheets was high. This has saved countless hours of data entry on our end - and has also given us the ability to streamline our process as well.
Pros:
The software is very user friendly and easy to use. As an organization, you have the ability to customize just about everything you can think of. Scores are updated real-time and you can use iPads/tablets or laptops with the web interface. As you work with the software, it gets easier each year.
Cons:
I would like to see more customizable report forms - perhaps a report builder tool where you can insert the fields from a list that you would like displayed? In general, it is very simple and user friendly tool - so I wouldn't change much overall.
TeamGenius - Potential
Comments: This definitely saves on the data entry aspects. However, everyone must have a responsive device to use the app.
Pros:
Data readily available when entered. Multi-user capability
Cons:
1) Not Intuitive - By default, users wind up entering data by individual player, which is not the strength of this application. The default wireframe should lead users to the group data entry mode, where a group of players ("Criteria") are rated on a specific skill. 2) Terms - Recommend polling ordinary users on the terminology used by the app. The current terms do not connect with ordinary users 3) Rating Scale - The directors of my club say not to use the rating of "0" because the app fouls up calculation of averages. This doesn't make much sense in this day and age that when can not use a valid rating of zero and make standard calcuations. You can follow up with Joe Felipe or Joel Standford at Downstate Volleyball VBC.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Dennis. We have some major updates planned for our mobile app that will be rolling out over the next few months. These should help with the default views and terminology preferences you mentioned. We understand that for some organizations and criteria, a score of zero means something and it is on our road map to make this change so that zero can be entered as a valid score. Also note that our native app works on any iOS or Android device. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. Our team discusses every suggestion and we are constantly making changes in response to feedback like yours.
Team Genius is a game changer!
Comments: We decided to go with Team Genius to make our try-outs more uniform and efficient and to create a platform that would increase the number of end of season evaluations we would receive from our coaches. In two seasons we have found that we now make hard decisions at tryouts with more real data. Team selection will always be part art and part science but Team Genius gives us a real time look at results and allows us to make tough choices based off of real time data. On the end of season eval side our participation has sky rocketed from less than 50% to close to 90%!
Pros:
The ease and convenience of the platform. Quick response times from my rep and all customer service folks at Team Genius. In the end the platform has allowed us to quickly aggregate our scoring and make the process more transparent for all involved.
Cons:
Really I have no complaints at all. There was one small change to the layout of one report but after voicing my concerns about the change I believe that Team Genius is working on new solutions.
Excellent, innovative, useful app for baseball
Comments: It is really helping us to monitor skill development progress. We are putting a lot of volunteer hours into our community baseball association and it's nice to see that we are having a positive impact! The customer service is properly "high touch". They will work with you until you feel comfortable setting up and adjusting assessments on your own.
Pros:
It really helped us to assess the players at try-outs in a systematic, and largely unbiased way. This also facilitated easy conversations with parents. I also really like the in-season development reports, showing charts with player progress through time.
Cons:
The email function is sometimes a bit glitchy, and when generating the (excellent) development reports, there is not as much optionality as I would like...so I end up taking multiple steps to generate each report for each player on the time. I would assume that over time these issues will get ironed out and the system (which works!) will get more efficient.
