Top Rated ACTIVEWorks for Parks & Recreation Alternatives
Active stores all of our information and is the software we use to sign people up for programs, rent rooms in our facility, and create pool memberships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like how an automatic receipt is sent to the user's email that makes them log in to view it. I also wish Active had an easier way to set up schedules on leagues. The fee for the surcharge is not cheap and when we refund someone if a class was cancelled, we have to then pay them the surcharge back out of our pocket and Active still keeps the profit of us using the software.

I like how the main screen that I use the most (scan pass) is very easy to locate and revert back to when completing other work on Active Net. When members scan their passes, their picture, name, and all other valid information comes up quickly and clearly, so there is no confusion. I really enjoy how easy it is to process payment via Active Net and I also enjoy the updates they've made in our "Day Pass" category to allow for ease of use.

It is very difficult to become acquainted with, and it took be a very long time to feel somewhat proficient at using Active Net. The tabs and options are not clear and can be very hard to find on the page. Nothing is very clear, and you have to learn how to do most things through trail and error. Sometimes, one mistake means you have to start over completely which can be incredibly disheartening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Active net has been a wonderful asset to my team, whiie keeping all our guest's reservations in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the overall design of the software, it looks like something out of 2003. It could definitely update its overall look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tons of tutorials so you can always look up how to do something if you don't know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You pay a lot for a slow, complicated, and feature-lacking program. Inputting information can take forever and there is no way to speed up the process, training new people is laborious, and some of the features are still incredibly dated. There is no free trial either so you can't test drive the software, you have to pay to figure out you don't like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ActiveNet was described to me as "Like Amazon, but for program registration" and I concur with that statement! It was very easy to add programs, manage programs, track registrations, print rosters and just take the hassle out of managing this portion of our organization's programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really wasn't any major areas that I disliked. I enjoyed as an end user pretty much all the features. Some of the terminology was difficult to decipher when you had a complicated registration piece (ex. an early bird discount that ran out on X day, while also calculating sibling discounts, youth discounts, etc.) but otherwise no major problems!

I have good experience working with this solution. I like many aspects of this platform. I especially like the possibility of mass mailing, for example, when I want to send Christmas wishes to many people or send any information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Generally, this solution is helpful, but I don' t like the interface of this product. In my opinion, it's not very friendly, but I also think that this isn't a big problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well set up site to stay in the loop for an active lifestyle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ability to have subscription discount based upon health insurance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is pretty user friendly once you complete a training. Gives you the ability to create reservations in multiples ways and look up past customers as well as easily add buttons for POS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it had the ability to easily add rental equipment and manage gear for gear libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Active Network programs allow me to create material that bring team engagement to an all time high. The Active Network allows you to group work and have staff interact hands on with the technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Active tool bars are a little difficult to navigate and the interface can be difficult if you are not as experienced with technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That is is web based and easy to learn yet very in depth with options for getting options setup. I have been using this software on an off for the past 15 years and I love how it has gotten easier to use over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Relies heavily on a different reporting structue that needs dedicated time to manage and understand.The current version we have is not accessible via a cellphone but would be nice to has an app verison to gain access as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
