The company and the people they employee are the best. ----- ### "Catapult EMS COVID-19" — 5.0/5 > **Roger** | *21 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the amount of information we can gather in a mtter of minutes > > **Cons**: It is a failry new program that was created to address COVID issues. we had some isswues in the beginning with the tecting component for notifications. > > It has been positive and we willcontinue to use as needed and required ----- ### "Dunsmuir High" — 2.0/5 > **Arlene** | *21 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The concept was good, and we liked the website component so we thought the 2 together would be great. > > **Cons**: The cell phone apps did not work right. We couldn't communicate with eachother during drills or actual incidents because password were difficult. > > Very frustrating trying to get the apps to work to talk to other staff members without having to put in passwords every time - how does one remember those in a panicky situation\! So we have switched this to a different company. ----- ### "CatapultEMS" — 4.0/5 > **Karalei** | *26 October 2021* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is very useful for informing a large group of people of special alerts or emergencies. It's great to get them both on your phone and your computer. > > **Cons**: It's quite a task to train new users every year, but that would likely be the same with all. We do wish that there was a direct messaging option rather than sending a link. Finally, we wish that we could remain logged into the ap on the phone as logging in takes additional time. The classroom lists are difficult to maintain as up-to-date throughout the year. > > We have confidence that our staff will receive alerts and emergency messages in a very timely manner without lag. Our staff has learned easily to log in and account for themselves and students. The tip/bullying/alert piece for anonymous reporting works very well for communications between staff and both students and/or parents. ----- ### "A very valuable tool which is highly supported." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 March 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The items that I like most about this software are that it allows you log in via your google log in which makes it easier, it has excellent customer support in that they will respond very quickly to any needs including onsite training. They will respond to any alerts and make sure that everything is okay. In addition, it is valuable that we have the ability to connect with 1st responders. They will work with your current SIS to get everyone into the system and then will be able to provide for you class lists during anytime of the day helping you to account for students. There is a central map to locate where everyone is at when they check in. > > **Cons**: The struggles with the software are that it is still relatively new so there are a few bugs that they are working out. When we started it was a challenge making sure that the data was properly recorded from the SIS. When we first engaged the software we though there would be more templates related to the emergency information that needs to be provided in the system. There is some and it is helpful but there was the hope that there would be more resources available. The fact that very few First Responders are aware of the software makes it more challenging to make the connections necessary to make it work to its optimum. > > It has allowed us to upgrade our Emergency response to be more efficient in getting the word out to all members of our community quickly and effectively. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/308139/catapultems?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/308139/catapultems) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
