"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.

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.

Proggio reviews
Very good. Can plan a project from scratch very easily and quickly
- Aviv F. CTO
I like how easy it is to use. The map view is my favorite.
- Andrew W. Validation Engineer
Proggio is a flexible and very complete platform. Integrates with tools like Jira, Microsoft 365, and Slack. I like it because I can plan, manage and visualize each process of my projects easily, I can send documents to my colleagues for the evaluation of the projects to complete our work successfully in the shortest possible time.

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." |
Proggio
| Pros |
|---|
| Very powerful tool for managing projects (rather than managing tasks like in Asana/Trello) |
| Easy collaboration between project members |
| The idea of a projects map is great, helps a lot in seeing the overall picture, the connections between projects, and the status of each project |
| The visibility of the project schedule to all of the steakhiolders us outstanding |
| When you put some extra time into the tool the results are outstanding." |
| Cons |
|---|
| Working on a mac laptop mouse is difficult to handle expanding/narrowing rows...sometimes it doesn't work |
| Been a SaaS tool and not on-prem, it has the downside of Saas which means a constant internet connectivity is needed |
| The UI is very sensitive, actions can be done by mistake |
| Takes time to get used to it |
| I'm missing some more details on resource analysis information." |
