"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Localist
Our previous website calendar system consisted of our staff manually entering events when the public would email them to us. Even with copy/pasting each field, it would take up some time to process a lot of requests. Now, we can approve or deny events with the click of a button and the public takes the time to format the events themselves. This also allows for required fields so we don't receive events with missing information.

Most popular feedback for Aha!
Great tool for product managers to interact with Engineering and other stakeholders across the organization. The feasibility of integration with other tools makes it more powerful. Undoubtedly, eliminates the use of multiple excel sheets and coordination efforts with the team as the data is live and easily visible to the management.

About Aha!
The team that is on hand to help is brilliant. Whomever you speak to, they always know the answer. With a tool that has this much to offer in terms of functionality, it's a really positive thing that support is on hand. It's a pretty intuitive tool and it really helps people change the way they think about products, projects and delivery (in my experience). The mock-up feature is great - takes some getting used to for someone that's never done mock-ups before but it's very handy. Being able to present stuff and have people view certain elements on a web link is useful too.
Localist reviews
We looked at many different event software solutions before deciding on Localist. It's a great product, and the customer service is unparalleled.
- Nicky E. Associate Director of Digital Media
I'm very familiar with Localist after having used it for a few years so I'm reluctant to change to a different email merge system but I do find it to be user-friendly and easy to introduce people to.
- Raymond R. Web Designer
In our particular application, there just isn't very much traffic. The idea of a dedicated event calendar can feel like too much when everyone already uses their own CRM or email lists to communicate about events. More flexible integrations would be a nice feature, like if Localist could pull in events automatically from third-party CRMs. Customizeable reminder messages and follow-up messaging would also add value.

Aha! reviews
Aha! lets you input information at a lot of different levels, from high-level goals to individual tasks. These items can be connected and visualized to see how they relate to each other and the goals of the organization. The capacity/demand tracking and reporting are invaluable. Aha! is designed to clearly show how a team's work is related to their business goals/outcomes. Their knowledge base is detailed and I've received excellent support anytime I reach out with questions.

Aha! has been easy to set up and integrate with Jira to support our end-to-end product solutions. It was also very easy to set up SSO integration.

Pros & cons
Localist
| Pros |
|---|
| The solution is very flexible to our needs and the branding capabilities are impressive |
| The ease of use and empowerment of users to submit events |
| Localist is very easy to setup and administer and is a very powerful calendar platform to help manage and promote our many events on campus |
| Administrators love the ease of setup, reporting and the configuration flexibility." |
| Cons |
|---|
| The webinar on Channels was so confusing that it took me months to figure out what they were talking about |
| Again, lots of learn-by-doing |
| We also found an issue with users being able to create their own avatar, in some cases the avatar could be offensive and there is no way to easily "report" that to the calendar admins |
| Support has been generally terrible |
| Anything outside of the basic functionality is simply not supported and they have been unwilling to implement ANY requests that we've made |
| On several occasions the answers provided by support have been blatantly wrong and only through our own channels have we been able to fix problems that the vendor created." |
Aha!
| Pros |
|---|
| I like that the tool supports a standard methodology and discipline that is critical for the success of PM Teams |
| We have also had a good response on a couple of key feature requests which I was impressed by given our modest account size |
| Other nice features include the ability to organize the suggestions/requests, combine similar items, organize them - and the users get to vote on what others have posted |
| My overall experience with AHA has been outstanding |
| It shows that the team developing this product has a deep understanding of what their customers are trying to accomplish." |
| Cons |
|---|
| Often I'll need to completely refresh the page before I see my changes in the UI so it makes things a bit slower to use |
| Some what features or functions are missing that one would think were basic |
| The learning curve is steep compared to You track |
| Schedules epics activities development tasks todos and several other features can be hard to distinguish and somewhat confusing |
| But it's not exactly intuitive |
| You have to mess around and make quite a few mistakes before it really begins to make sense." |
