What do you like best about ClubExpress?

I like that it has a new look and feel to it and that it is more user friendly than what we had before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

One of the downsides for me is not having specific vendor references on the website as options. We host several events and it has been pretty difficult getting the vendor side setup. And it seems like it needs one master report that will show all information on it. For now, we have to usually pull 2 reports and combine them to get all of the informaton we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm not aware of any problems being solved for us right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bob Rosenthal of ClubExpress

Thank you for your nice review, We are working hard on enhancing the user interface throughout the system. Watch for more changes throughout the year,

Regarding vendor references, I think I know what you are referring to but am not certain. You should email our technical support group. There are some ways to handle this you may not be aware of. They can help. Send your email to support@clubexpress.com.

Best regards, Bob

It can't adapt to custom billing processes and is hard to manage manual billing. Adds admin time for an automated bill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It automates our monthly/yearly billing and allows communication by email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClubExpress?

The ClubExpress platform is an excellent system for managing our organization. The features are well-thought-out, well-designed, and intuitive for both administrators and users. CE's support organization is fantastic with quick responses and detailed written documentation addressing all features in great detail. The online training modules are logically developed and professionally presented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

Reporting out of the database is limited. Many good reports are provided, but ad hoc reporting requires a separate subscription. Also, the robust features within the platform address the vast majority of functions needed for organization management and web presentation, but some custom coding may be required for specific situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform provides a central database in the cloud for all user profile records and the organization's documents. It aids in automating financial functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClubExpress?

Club express is very responsive - If I have any website questions or issues, I simply email or call them and they are available. I typically receive a response within 24 hours if I email and a call back within a few hours if I call and have to leave a message but many times they are able to pick up the phone right away. Also love all the support documentation they have, webinars and historical videos you can watch in case you couldn't make a webinar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

I think Club express supports so many different customers with various ideas on how the website should work that they can't keep up with all the requested updates or decide whos update to implement - you can't please everyone. Website updates do come out quite often so sometimes you're caught off-guard on knowing what changed and it's hard to keep my team in the know of how to do things when things change often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

Club Express does website tweeks quite often to resolve problems and make enhancements. This can seem overwhelming at times but they do provide webinars and You Tube video tutorials on the changes/new features as well as videos on how to perform basic functions. Their video library and documentation is quite extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClubExpress?

Club Express makes it easy. One-stop admin for our ski club. Easy to update and change web pages for a non-techie admin. Members can edit their profiles and track their event and volunteer participation. Very powerful event builder and calendar with top-notch communication functions. Support is excellent and helpful at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

There is not much to dislike. A minor niggle is that some reporting could be improved, but our club has some unique needs, and we are trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. No one else has as close as Club Express. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

ClubExpress makes it easy to keep our site and member information up-to-date and current. They take the pressure off our non-techie admins by being easy to use with excellent support for all members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClubExpress?

Honestly, the support is reasonably good. I can drop an email to them and in a few hours, I have a response if not a fix in place. There's a bit of left brain/right brain way to adjust the thinking on how things work, but once you settle into the mindset it's fairly manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

Some rigidity to the environment makes it difficult to use. Where we've bumped up against the rigid part we've had to pay extra to get around it. Some of the web page functionality is kludgy at best. It may/may not work correctly and then someone on the back end has to come in and "fix" things. Not sure why that is, but the support is good, so that helps. The frustrating part is that ClubExpress seems somewhat disinterested in resolving some of the ongoing issues. It devolves down into it's easier to live with the problem than it is to constantly press for the fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ClubExpress:

There aren't many turnkey website providers for clubs out there. Depending upon the needs this software seems to fit the bill. There may need to be some adjustments on the workflow within the org coming in, but for the most part everything seems to work reasonably well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've moved onto a modern platform away from an older environment. Centralized management of our membership and provided some streamlining to the member retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ClubExpress?

Club Express makes sure you are getting your money's worth of training on multiple aspects of this software. We are into week 6 of helping a local group build their new website on Club Express. It is amazing amount of bells and whistles that are hidden behind the Control Panel, Club Express' access window into the workings of the software. It is like a huge relational database, where every piece of data you enter into Club Express windows gives you more power and control for your club, league, or interest group.

I have recently retired from my professional design career and time in higher education. I find myself thinking about what I could do with this software for professional and interest groups that I no longer serve. What great management software for a professional theatre company! for theatre education! for professional enterttainment industries. I would recommend you take a tour of Club Express.

I have recently recommended that a local theatre consider Club Express in developing their new website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ClubExpress?

I am one of those people who designed websites back in Ray Dream Designer was hot stuff. The HELP? button makes solving problems too easy! I want to suffer for my time, figuring how Club Express works. The HELP? Desk has great search features and when that doesn't work, there are HELP Phone Technicians at Club Express who are always willing to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ClubExpress solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. All documents and organizational data are in one place and accessible and safe from misuse.

2. Many website managers and coordinators allow safe access to data, and yet spreads the responsibility of maintaining the website among many.

3. Easy use of email and sending out notices of coming events is a breeze.

4. Getting people to volunteer is easy for the shy or timid types. and Committee leaders can communicate easily with the small group.

5. Information is shared with the public, yet you can save the good stuff for membership, giving a person a reason to join and know they are getting their money's worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
