ToucanTech Reviews

I like that you get to know the staff at Toucantech; and that they get to know you as well. This means we all better understand how to deal with problems.

Although "glitches" appear in the software from time to time, even this "down arrow issue" is usually dealt with speedily and efficiently. I assume rival software also can have these problems, so I prefer to work on the basis that Toucantech resolves them more quickly than its rivals.

Its features are intuitive and user-friendly. It handles all our alumni database needs.

Can't think of anything at the moment. I appreciate that if there are certain things we can't do at the moment, it is included for consideration for future development updates.

Such an accessible, user friendly and intuitive system. There was so much support throughout the whole on-boarding process and working in a school they met us with patience throughout long periods of busy patches.

I can't comment on anything further than the team already know about some functions/changes to some features that would really benefit schools using the platform, but they were already on it and I was impressed by the response to my feedback

What I like most about ToucanTech is the excellent support team—they are always very helpful. Additionally, the platform offers a lot of functionality, making it a versatile tool for our needs.

There isn't anything I dislike about ToucanTech. However, if you're not tech-savvy, you'll need to dedicate some time to learn and understand the platform's functionality. That said, it's manageable because the support team is fantastic and provides great assistance throughout the process.

The product is easy to use and I like the logic of the search function. The support team is great and it's very helpful to have the tutorial pages.

Data hosting. This is an issue for overseas users as different countries have different data privacy standards.

ToucanTech has a simple to use and navigate user interface. It manages multiple functions which is great for a small office. The customisation is good and I have been impressed by the product enhancements and development since we started using the software.

The fundraising and donation logging feature could be improved. I would also like to see more ability to managed the news images that are uploaded.

We have been using our new alumnae platform, which is powered by ToucanTech, for about a year now. It offers much greater functionality than the previous site and the engagement levels have soared accordingly. It allows events to be organised efficiently and effectively and we are now seeing increasing use of the more interactive elements of the platform, such as our mentoring schemes and alumnae clubs. Over the past 12 months, ToucanTech have continued to develop and improve the software and are always working on new features and welcome additions to their offering.

The ToucanTech support team offer an effective and well-run helpdesk and customised training. They were very hands on with the set up and integration of the new platform. The software has designed to be very user-friendly. The team work hard to resolove any issues or queries.

I find it easy to use, adding events and news stories is intuitive and can be done with very little training. Accessing the data is also very easy and can be done quickly on a PC or on your phone.

I think the only thing we would like to add is an Instagram feed to our Home page.

Accessibility. You do not have to be a database or IT professional to use it. With the good training provided, most people will be able to do pretty everything they want or need to do.Support. Excellent, quick and helpful support for those jobs which you cannot do yourself.

Minor layout features which could perhaps change. Nothing important. It is good that if we have something we would really like changing it is immediately put into the system for review and if thought to be a good idea for all TT users then the change happens.

Team support, easy access for posting updates, adding graphics efficiently, very user friendlyToucan tech offers both quick update access along with detail/advanced options to customize important announcements.

As expected the initial set up is a daunting task that you can't escape, but ToucanTech support makes it quite achievable.

I like how easy it is to use on the backend. I'm not a coder or website designer and I'm able to navigate it.

It would be great to be able to customize the look of our members' offline records, but that's not available yet.

The best part of the software is that it is a one stop shop, so you have your database, fundraising, online portal, and events functions all tied into one package rather than needing different software options to answer different needs.

We are generally very happy with this product, but of course as with all products, there are occasional glitches. However, the customer support team always respond very quickly and efficiently to these and they are constantly working to improve and to bring out new features.

ToucanTech is an incredibly user friendly piece of software and it's very easy to build the online portal. The features we use the most are the mass email function, the events page, the online shop and the news section. Recently we've launched a second online portal for a different section of our community that can all be managed from the same database.

There isn't a feature of Toucan that I would say I like the least. We were early customers of ToucanTech and the features and functionality that have been developed since we first used the software have only improved what was already a very good product.

We were offered a tailored training day before setting it up - we could specify the main features we would use so the training was adapted to our needs, eg, how to produce reports we needed to replicate.
It is pretty intuitive, but online / telephone support is good when needed. The team are very friendly and helpful, and will 'take over' the PC to talk you through solutions if necessary.
The weekly support emails are helpful and let you keep on top of new developments.
Graphics are good, we have had good feedback about the 'look and feel' of communications from our alumnae community.

Integration was quite a significant task due to volume of data but it was well managed on both sides.
The advanced filters and mass emails are possibly the least intuitive parts to use but this was resolved with good support and increased user familiarity.
