Problems represented in the difficulty of communicating with customer service and language, as for the benefits, they are many, including ease of use and that it is free to use, security and preserves your data better than many similar applications
Pros: What I admire most about the application is the ease of use, and the application mechanisms that help to understand the content of the application in an easy and smooth manner
Cons: The least thing I liked about the application is the difficulty of communicating with customer service, in addition to the lack of many languages
Ayoub E. · DGPR · Civil Engineering · August 7, 2023
Pros: practical, self-explanatory and intuitive
Cons: i may be a little more practical to use , there is still room for that

The customer service experience with Graduway is top-notch. Our account manager,[SENSITIVE CONTENT], is friendly, accessible, and knowledgeable. I appreciate that he keeps reoccurring appointment on the rotation of his calendar to meet with me, review new product enhancements, and to discuss my school's success on the platform. Additionally, there are always opportunities for professional development to learn how to make the most out of the platform. This is something that sets the company a part from others - they truly take the time and work hard to build relationships and ensure the happiness of their clients.

Pros: The platform is a "one-stop shop" for all your alumni management needs. The functionality with social media makes registration for users a breeze, and it is extremely user-friendly. The company is also always making improvements and enhancements, and their support team is extremely responsive, efficient, and professional.
Cons: Integration was a breeze and there are many different ways to pull data from the system, although sometimes the reports (in the form of excel) are a bit overwhelming to review and analyze.
Alyssa P. · College & Alumni Relations Manager · E-Learning · January 31, 2022
We are really really happy using the Graduway solution. They are a true solution ‘partner’ for our alumni engagement & fundraising needs. They really make it a focus to help us take full advantage of their feature rich solution. Graduways software has enabled us to boost our Alumni Services to a place we are proud of, and with all the tools available to us, integrated into our CRM and critical base platform
Pros: Graduway offers a comprehensive integrated solution to make most of alumni management & engagement. Their platform is feature rich and they are always working to add new features. They have outstanding customer service.
Cons: I cannot really think of things I do not like about this software. It’s a league above the other platforms in this space.
Anonymous User · Founder · Information Technology and Services · December 1, 2021
Customer service is excellent. We're pleased with this product
Pros: This platform is highly customizable, with numerous ways to add graphics and text as well as format its appearance. We like it quite a bit, and so do our donors
Cons: There are a few limitations to what the platform can do, but nothing that's a deal-breaker. There's enough latitude that we can always find a viable alternative
Whitney R. · AVP · Higher Education · July 27, 2021
When we went to implement the new platform of our Alumni, this was one of the 4 main alternatives considered, along with AlumnForce, AlmaShines and Hivebrite. However, it was not chosen, because although it is a good platform, it has less functionality than the competitors and has a relatively high cost.
Pros: It has a very beautiful aesthetic, it is quite easy to use, for both administrators and users. Very low usage learning curve. Its use is pleasant. Excellent technical assistance. Good deployment cost. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] of the company that owns the product has a great vision on Alumni, and his book is the basis for the implementation of a successful Alumni.
Cons: In the short term, the company provides a low cost of implementation, but in the long term, the platform's annual fee is high. It is a well-built product, but it lacks many features that already exist in competitors. The cost-effectiveness of competitors is much better.
Bruno C. · IT Service Engineer · Human Resources · February 9, 2021
They've provided a platform which helps us to build community in a way that cannot be done offline; it will work hand-in-glove with our events programme when that re-commences post-pandemic.
Pros: Ease of use and set-up, despite the many and varied things that it can do. Customer service is outstanding.
Cons: Very little that we haven't liked so far.
Matthew D. · Director of Development · Education Management · December 7, 2020
Graduway is a superior product from start to finish. The product, the team, the constant improvements ensure Graduway is heads and tails above the competition.
Pros: It provides a one-stop-shop for all things alumni relations related. Furthermore, the team at Graduway is always looking for innovative and intelligent ways to make the work of Alumni Relations professionals easier, more impactful and always value-add. The product is sophisticated and dynamic which is important when attempting to get buy-in from graduates.
Cons: There are no cons! Whenever we have encountered an issue, Graduway has quickly stepped up to resolve the issue and or provide a workaround.
Kate C. · Director, Alumnae Engagement · Fund-Raising · November 17, 2020
Excellent, fantastic, and superb.
Pros: If I have to limit my response it would be the support of the Graduway staff. They are super responsive and extremely knowledgeable about their product. Another pro, is they always seem to be improving the product by adding functionality and I believe they really understand their user and their needs. This product really has everything that we need and would want to virtually engage our constituents. They also prepare marketing to help us reach our audience. They want us to be successful.
Cons: 2 things: first I wish that there was some functionality that would allow our users to post on Graduway and then instantly post that same thing on LinkedIn or another social platform.
Patrick S. · Constituent Relations · Education Management · November 16, 2020
We have had an excellent experience with Graduway. The customer service is amazing, they are always making improvements and changes to meet the needs of their clients and they take great pride in their product - all wonderful qualities of a great partner!
Pros: The Graduway product offered an excellent solution to our community by providing a user-friendly and dynamic directory, which was the main feature we were looking for in new software. In addition to the directory, we have been able to engage students and alumni through mentoring and group connections as well as promote our events through the system. The digest feature is one of the best tools on the platform and really promotes interaction and user engagement. We are very pleased with the product!
Cons: If Graduway had a simple integration with BBCRM that would be ideal for our campus.
Bonnie D. · Associate Director, Alumni and Family Engagement · Higher Education · November 2, 2020
Pros: Easy to use. Powerful analytics. Strong engagement platform.
Cons: Challenging to format specific aspects to your liking -- must work with a specific set of parameters.
Cody M. · Annual Giving Officer · Fund-Raising · November 2, 2020
Where to begin? The customer service is top notch! I don't think of Graduway as a vendor, I think of them as a partner in my work. Not only have they ensured that what I'm presenting to my network is beautiful and user friendly but they are always innovating and sharing best practices so that our users can get the most out of this product.
Pros: It is beautiful and intuitive to use (as an administrator and as a user). Every time I share the platform with someone new they say, "wow" and get what we're trying to do immediately.
Cons: This is tough to say because as soon as I come up with something new that I want the platform to have, the team tells me it is already in progress and within months, we have it.
Yesh P. · Manager · Environmental Services · November 2, 2020
The entire process has been delightful. Our Professional Service Manager was available whenever I needed her during the set up process and our Account Manager has answered all my questions promptly and they are always interested in our feedback and needs. They are always looking to improve the platform for their users. We like the ease of registration for our alumni. You need to make it easy for them. As an Admin of the account I have very much enjoyed the free webinars Graduway offers along with recording of many topics on their Graduway TV. Hearing best practices and meeting other Admins has been extremely beneficial.
Pros: We needed a platform that would allow our alumni to connect with each other more organically and the Graduway platform allows this to happen. Their platform offered the most extensive package with the mentoring piece being something we were very excited about. We were also delighted that an app version was available! All these features would thrill our alumni while allowing us to capture the information we didn't have.
Cons: The only issue I have is that the great add ons are quite expensive especially to K-12 schools. We don't have the budgets that large universities do.
Leslie S. · International Alumni Relations · Primary/Secondary Education · October 5, 2020
Pros: Our Graduway platform is easy to use from an admin point of view and from a user point of view. Support is on hand to deal with any queries. The team are constantly updating and improving the software which keeps it current.
Cons: The software could work as a standalone database and community platform, but still requires a back-end database. This requires some coordination between systems which some room for error.
Phillip R. · Director of Development · Education Management · October 5, 2020
Great support as we wlaunched the program and the am has worked seamlessly to engage our alumni community. They continue to support as we grow and develop our platform. New features are added regularly making the user experience better and more accessable.
Pros: Use of use, Interface and customer support.
Cons: Would like a texting type feature like Messenger of DM on Instagram A group chat has been requested bu outr users
Mark S. · Director of Alumni Engagement · Education Management · September 23, 2020
We increase our outreach monthly to reconnect with our community.
Pros: This platform is very exciting and welcomed by our Alumni. It has many features and exclusivity for our approved members. LinkedIn registration is very user friendly. The live feed connection to our social media pages is especially appreciated.
Cons: The set up seemed a bit complicated at first, however the Graduway staff were very helpful and responsive.
Charlene S. · Intl Relations · Education Management · September 8, 2020
Overall, Graduway has helped our organization come full circle. You don’t stop being a part of our organization once you graduate or move onto the next level. You will always be involved and this software helps do just that.
Pros: I like that this allows us to network with more alumni to keep them involved within our organization.
Cons: I realize that this also focuses on donors, but I feel that sometimes it makes students and alumni feel as though they MUST donate as another main focus. Obviously we would love donations to keep our organization going, but I also aim to keep alumni involved through notification and updates.
Erin J. · Teacher · Education Management · February 13, 2020
We are using Graduway for our Alumni. The web portal is easy to set up. Tables and list export to an Excel spreadsheet for maintenance. Majority of the features are there. The interface is friendly and easy to use. and use.
Pros: Highly customizable, well designed and easy to set up. Can add additional fields for customization to your school. Implementation team is organized and knowledgeable.
Cons: The integration plug-in with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge is not yet ready. There is unknown about how this will integrate with other applications.
George H. · Technical Data Analyst · Higher Education · October 15, 2019
Student and alumni outreach and relationship management through newsletters & event announcements.
Pros: I like the idea of a centralized hub for alumni communication--especially one that is web-based and ready to use where ever I am. Nice, organized dashboard, excellent branding options.
Cons: For someone who is extremely savvy with social media (especially the more professional platforms), Graduway may not offer much more for the money it costs.
Jessica J. · Adjunct Professor · Higher Education · September 27, 2019
Overall,my experince has been great and I would recommend to others!
Pros: Graduway is great platform to engage with university alumini.Customer service is great and easy to use.
Cons: Sometimes it takes time to navigate the university website, you need to be patient. other than that, it is ok
Anonymous User · Research Tech III · Higher Education · September 16, 2019
Pros: Tailored platforms that have multiple options for alumni to remain connected while providing entity options.
Cons: Requires another system for alumni to login into.
Ciara G. · Consultant · Non-Profit Organization Management · August 23, 2019
Pros: Keeps us in contact as a useful to our alumni Able to tell them about jobs, events, news, etc that might be of interest to them
Cons: Not region specific Not enough alumni are interested in using it for it to be worth it, but we have hope it will catch on
Anonymous User · A/V Analyst · Higher Education · August 7, 2019
Its alright, not impressive.
Pros: Some good links and services. Customer service is useful. They have links with top universities and non profit organisations which could be useful to one. However not easy for a first time user.
Cons: As a graduate I did not find the website or the services any interesting or helpful. Also it was mainly US based rather than global which also did not help.
Aquline S. · Tutor · E-Learning · August 6, 2019
I used Graduway to gather clients and help a few trainees in career progression, It worked out well and it was freely provided by my employer.
Pros: The ease with which Graduway allows me to connect with alumni and seek out new clients is the best thing about it. Pricing is competitive and I've received great customer service a few times I've run into problems. It also provides great career navigation to alumni of different institutes.
Cons: The notifications are not locality specific, I get notifications of events happening 1000 miles away, they can try to address this and provide more updates about local events.
Shreejit B. · Graduate Research And Teaching Assistant · Higher Education · July 16, 2019
My overall experience with Graduway is satisfactory.
Pros: The alumni network option is very useful to be in touch with people in your field.
Cons: The customer care service can be improved.
