Your brand.Your message.
Your vision.
Graduway delivers the control you need – a fully customized website for an exclusive virtual alumni network that’s always on-brand, translated and localized. Our tools make it easy to manage user permissions and collect data for your platform and user activity. Additional customization requests can be submitted to our support team. Take complete control of the message and image presented to your alumni community.
PeopleGrove, on the other hand, offers little customization with few widgets presented as a website rather than a community space. An effective digital community relations platform should complement your brand. Don’t confuse your community and cloud your message by using a rigid platform.
Seamless registration.
Ease of use.
Graduway’s platform is built with your community in mind. Inviting your constituents is easy and registration is even easier. This means your platform can be launched and thriving in no time. Let the connecting begin!
Conversely, the PeopleGrove experience is particularly frustrating. Users can register via LinkedIn, which auto populates many fields. Yet, registrants must still complete numerous pages of information, which has a significant effect on registration abandonment. Lower registration diminishes engagement and hurts your chances for success.
One community.
Personalized user experiences.
Graduway utilizes soft and hard data to create a fully personalized experience for users. From the feed, mentoring, premium groups, photo albums, job board, and directory search, each user is served content which is unique based on their interests, location, and educational and professional history to ensure optimal value and higher levels of interest and engagement.
On the other hand, PeopleGrove focuses on mentoring and career advancement. Although they offer many features comparable to Graduway, these are often upcharges for each feature and support instance. Their platform is less likely to bring value to the end-user other than matching mentors. A sense of community and purpose better engages users and keeps them coming back.
