Product Review of CampusGroups

This program allows you to create private interaction platforms for groups on a campus engagement platform with event promotion, group management, and a community creation functionality. It comes with over 20 distinct modules that provide functions such as email marketing, drag and drop website building, polling and attendance, and online payments.

Website: https://www.campusgroups.com/product/home/

What Users Love About the App

“One thing that I think is great about CampusGroups is that you can post a flyer when you create an event in your group. This is extremely important because the paper flyers we create for our events can be replicated for CampusGroups. It makes it easier for students and faculty to get the most important information about an event, besides the description. In addition, you can use and create tags for events. This makes it simple for students and faculty to find events that are geared towards them. For example, I can tag an event as “LGBTQ” and those in the community can search for events specifically tagged as such.”

“CampusGroups thrives on the concept of being that one-stop-shop for the student experience, and we are finding ourselves shifting every other platform that is possible to CampusGroups. It allows for a simple-to-use interface that just works! Implementation was easy and quick. We were able to get our platform launched within two weeks, including all the data upload, branding, and getting users trying out the platform.”

“CampusGroups is a highly functional, intuitive platform with a ton of features to help build student engagement outside of the classroom. We originally got into it, driven by our student governments—grads and undergrads—to help them better manage their club activities; i.e., membership, events, payment processing, etc. The pandemic just accelerated uptake as students needed new ways to network with one another. Great features include the ability to run virtual fairs, create tracks and checklists, a built-in workflow engine, ability to create orientation apps, and the ability to roll out branded native mobile apps for iPhone or Android.”

“The CampusGroup product affords a generous level of customization in both access permissions and specific tools.”

“CampusGroups is the first student engagement tool I’ve used that seems to have end-users at the core of their new features. They’re also incredibly responsive and always willing to help. I’ve been very impressed with the system so far, and best of all is that the students that I’ve shown it to have loved it.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Because of the level of customization, there is a learning curve for new admins and users.”

“Overall, the experience has been great. The only component of the platform that we have yet to adopt is the budgeting module for our Clubs and Organizations. There tends to be a little more of a learning curve to utilize that specific module than the remainder of the platform. But their support and implementation were helpful in explaining and walking us through the process that fits best with how we currently operate. Still, it was something we opted to not utilize at this time.”

“One thing I dislike about CampusGroups is that when I have created an event, there is no way to preview it before posting. Yes, I can save it as a draft and then preview that way, but it would be much easier if there was an ability to just click “Preview” to see what the event will look like once it goes live on CampusGroups.”

“Communication isn’t always immediate, it can take a while to receive responses.”
