I would highly recommend this software to other municipalities and even some businesses. > > **Cons**: We have yet to find a problem or something we do not like. > > CivicRec is the best software I have ever used while working for a municipality. ----- ### "Input" — 4.0/5 > **Jay** | *October 20, 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. We were the first ever Rec1 customer 20+ years ago... > > **Cons**: I like you staff, but we seem to be getting a less responsive reply. Too many hands in the cookie jar. > > Overall, very pleased with the product, but in the past month we are having some concerns after just signing a new contract. I supported renewing the contract and I need my staff to be behind that decision. I need them to be confident in your product and customer service. ----- ### "Rec1 is a useful software for our organization. The interface is very friendly and easy to pick up." — 3.0/5 > **Shadi** | *July 13, 2017* > > **Pros**: -easy user interface - wide variety of functions -customer service is excellent. I email rec1 support once or twice a week with new issues or concerns and the same day they always get back to me with some information > > **Cons**: -lack on inventory checkout function - sign in sheets - inability to develop our own interface that would be more beneficial to our specific organization. ----- ### "Best tech support ever\!" — 5.0/5 > **Becky** | *February 6, 2019* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a new user of the CivicRec software, I've had LOADS of questions\! Tech Support has responded promptly and completely AND followed up with me to be sure everything was clear EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I've called\! They're awesome\! > > **Cons**: There are a couple of reports I'd like to be able to get, but they are unique to our situation. And the tech support folks have always had suggestions about how we can accomplish the task in a di > > We manage a fairly large membership in our Senior Center as they participate in activities and events. We really appreciate the large variety of tasks we can accomplish using the software which, of course, saves us from having to do all those things manually\! The system is also used countywide for other facilities. ----- ### "Excellent software system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lori** | *August 30, 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support from Zarah and Laura is professional, highly responsive (i.e. call back within an hour of request). They consistently resolve the issue to my satisfaction, and when asked for a deeper understanding of the system, they provide education on how the system "thinks." . > > **Cons**: The software application requires the user to carefully review the actions before submitting an entry. In certain situations, I find myself reaching out to Zarah and Laura to assist with complex refund or user credit situations involving multiple transactions. In my opinion, this is not a "con" but rather the user needs to be mindful of carefully executing a transaction to provide the account holder with an accurate receipt and just as important to ensure accurate"back end" data reports. > > First \& foremost, the system has not allowed a double booking on a rental facility. It provides accurate data retrieval for roster lists to facilitate summer nature camp activity, as well as other programs offered at Northwest Park. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/115375/civicrec?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/115375/civicrec) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
