### "Super easy to use in the field."

February 8, 2018

5.0

N/A

Pros

Easy to use. Programming and set up was a breeze to learn and configure. Able to save time by accessing it out in the field.

Cons

I did not have any issues and therefore no cons. If anything, I disliked the need to click too many times to complete a process or workflow.

### "Small Agency Code Enforcement"

March 30, 2019

3.0

I don't have anything to compare this program to, and I do find this program helpful. Code enforcement is currently handled by the police department. The city is divided in districts. I wish there was a messenger that would update everyone on what is opened and updates on each case.

Pros

I like how it's able to tie into the County Appraisal District.

Cons

My problems might because we're a small agency, and don't use the program according what y'all had in mind. But, my supervisor prints out a review at end of month to show council. This number only shows closed cases. Some cases take a lot of time and work, and don't make the report. If the report could show activity of the case instead of closure, that would be great.

### "Excellent Product, Service and Support"

April 9, 2019

5.0

My office implemented the MyGov Software applications in 2008 and we have been nothing but impressed with the level of excellence in the software and the team of support that comes with your subscription. The updates that they have made through the years have been seamless and their willingness to tailor the software to our needs has been invaluable. I anticipate continuing to utilize the MyGov applications throughout the remainder of my career and I would recommend it to anyone involved in government code enforcement activities.

Pros

The MyGov software has been the best tool we have ever used for tracking and maintaining records for our Code Enforcement operations. The ease of use of the software and compatibility across platforms allows our inspectors to take the software from their desk into the field to perform inspections and re-inspections and upload photos to the software in realtime.

Cons

If I had one criticism of the software, I would like to reduce the number of clicks to move from one step to the next.

### "Straightforward design "

April 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like the simple search features and easy navigation. Being able to upload pictures and documents directly in inspection results makes organization easy.

Cons

I have had some odd glitches with the fee calculation aspects as well as adding in new addresses. However, these were easily corrected.

### "WHY SO COMPLICATED?"

April 2, 2019

3.0

MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR HAS BEEN AWFUL. THIS SOFTWARE HAS DOUBLED AND MAYBE TRIPLED ARE TIME TO OPEN A CASE. IT IS VERY COMPLICATED TO SETUP AND USE. I HAVE NOTICED STEPS ARE REDUNDANT AND REQUIRE MULTIPLE CLICKS REVIEW. THERE ARE CERTAIN ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE AUTO APPROVED OR DEFAULT WITHOUT REVIEW...FOR EX. LOCATION ADDRESS AND VIOLATIONS. THERE SHOULD ALSO BE A BETTER FOCUS ON A CENTRALIZED LOCATION FOR NOTES AND PHOTOS. A CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WRITES A REPORT OF ALL INTERACTIONS AND VIOLATIONS. ITS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF FAMILIARIZING OURSELVES WHEN TIME HAS PASSED OR IF OTHER OFFICERS STEP IN TO HELP. I HAVE ISSUES WITH INSPECTORS DEFAULTING TO ROUND-REPRESENTATIVE FOR INSPECTIONS, WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. I DISLIKE RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS FOR SIMPLE CASE REVIEWS AND DELAYS ON EVERY CASE. THE REPORTS ARE ALSO VERY HARD TO CREATE AND MANAGE. FEEL FREE TO CALL ME WITH ANY CORRECTIONS OR HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE ME. THANK YOU

Pros

THE PRODUCT ALLOWS ALL CITY DEPTS TO WORK ON SAME PLATFORM.

Cons

THE SOFTWARE IS SO COMPLICATED FOR SUCH EASY TASKS. THE AMOUNT OF MOUSE CLICKS TO OPEN A REGULAR CASE IS RIDICULOUS. THERE ARE MANY ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE DEFAULT FIELDS BUT MYGOV REQUIRES MANUAL REVIEWS AND APPROVALS.

### "Too many quirks"

April 1, 2019

3.0

Dates are incorrect (re-inspect dates) trying to get customer service to understand this as well as other issues is difficult if not impossible

Pros

The basic ease to use is average but to be able to manipulate forms letters or to get in to change things is difficult

Cons

The fact that form letters CAN NOT be manipulated in the field or on desktop.

### "My experience with MyGov"

April 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

The click and choose next step in a case is very nice and easy to use. Very user friendly format. Having the ability to set up the steps and word them to fit your city's procedures is a great benefit.

Cons

Setting up the steps is a pain. I came in after my City purchased the software. There was no one to train me and there was not a user manual from MyGov. After I taught myself, it got easier. Download speed to attach pictures in a case is very slow at times.

### "Mygov is not very user friendly."

November 20, 2017

1.0

I did not get anything from using Mygov.

Pros

The only thing I liked about Mygov is the program will notify an inspector when it is time for a re-inspection.

Cons

Mygov will only allow an inspector to address one violation per case. For example if you are conducting routine inspections and you come across a home or a business with multiple violations, Mygov will only allow you to address one at a time. Which means an inspector will have to open a separate case for each violation. If a home has four violations at the property the owner will receive four separate violation letters addressing each violation, instead of one letter explaining all violation on the property.

Angeleana, I am sorry that your experience with MyGov did not meet your expectations. The issues you stated as concerns were under the direct control of your agency module administrator. Your agency could have also used the unlimited support option included in the subscription to contact MyGov Support for assistance. To clarify, a case workflow can be defined within MyGov to have multiple violations and all violations can be included on a single letter to the contacts associated with the property. We would like the opportunity to help, so please contact MyGov Support for assistance.

### "What next?"

April 9, 2019

4.0

That upper management can access the program and know what is going on with cases you discuss with them.

Pros

That is keep records of all the case loads that are being worked.

Cons

The addresses are difficult to locate at time that waste time for me.
