I also love the beauty of our webpages and how case information populates them automatically. We have entered our pre-needs and are working on integrating with Homesteaders, which is a bonus. It is so lovely to be at home and see the pre-need information; it saves trips to the office. I also love that Gather is constantly innovating and adding more features without raising costs. > > **Cons**: I wish I could add more than one video on the remember page. Sometimes, we have a Tukios tribute video and a video recording. I also do not like that the service times change according to time zone. This has tripped up several families, and I now have to add a note below the service information that states the service time and that it is Pacific time. It's just one more step, if the time just displayed as the time zone the service is in there would be a lot less confusion. > > It has been wonderful. Everyone I speak or chat with is pleasant, and they are always willing to help, even if what I am asking is silly. ----- ### "Gather Software Pre-Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kathleen** | *25 August 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are not yet using the Gather product, but I am impressed with the set-up process that they have in place. It requires our involvement every step of the way and I am anticipating a smooth transition when our system is ready to go live. The team has been incredibly patient with us, accepting revisions and adjustments as each piece is put in place. I like that we get to 'test' each feature and each document and give feedback and ask for tweaks as we go along. The playbook is very helpful, providing a weekly check in of where we are in the process and what has been completed vs what steps are next. I am looking forward to our first team training to even more in-depth guidance. > > **Cons**: The themes for the website Memory pages seem a little cartoonish and there are not as many options as we are used to. The Workflows are taking some getting used to. It is quite different for us and feels a little awkward (we are not fully functional yet so have not actually used this in the manner it is intended). > > Overall, the team at Gather has been professional, respectful, extremely patient and extremely helpful. Gather provides not just brief answers but thoughtful explanations and detailed descriptions of various steps including videos when appropriate. Having the opportunity to use the system and be hands on long before we go live seems to be setting us up for success. ----- ### "Excellent Customer Service" — 5.0/5 > **Joyce** | *17 September 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: My customer support team is extraordinary. \[sensitive content hidden\] is exceptional. He takes what I am saying and understands what I mean. It is a rare talent and I value him greatly. > > **Cons**: I am not able to get a list of requested fixes and estimated completion dates. Because of this, I have to request a fix multiple times. > > The Gather product is easy to use and has a lot of bells and whistles. The staff has been easy to work with. ----- ### "Very Satisfied, Super Excited\!" — 5.0/5 > **Abby** | *5 December 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are in the process of switching over to Gather from another provider and the customer support we have received thus far has been incredible. We have an excellent team who are each on the ball and very communicative. The Gather platform itself has beautiful customization and is so easy to navigate. The online showroom is a favorite already. We are beyond excited to be fully integrated\! > > **Cons**: No legitimate cons so far. They're continually growing and adding more options to the customization. > > Each interaction we've had with our team has been not only upbeat and enjoyable, but also informative and productive. ----- ### "All in one software" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *22 March 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gather is all encompassing. Before switching to Gather, I had roughly 5 or 6 vendors I was paying separately, whose tasks could all be done within Gather. I was greatly relieved to have everything under one roof. I had been looking for this solution for years. Their graphics and interface are easy to use and look great. > > **Cons**: The transition to new software is never fun, and that was hard, but Gather was with us every step of the way and guided us through it. > > Wonderful so far. Our families are much more interactive with our website since using Gather and we have had very positive feedback. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/244353/gather?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/244353/gather) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
