A literal life saver, Gaggle is worth every penny.
What do you like best about the product?
Implementation was easy, cost is low but completely worth it. Peace of mind knowing that student email is not only compliance filtered but safety monitored by real people. Has literally allowed for intervention into self harm and rapidly escalating suicide situations that could have easily been missed by fully automated solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes causes delays in mail delivery, some false positives as the filter can be a little overzealous, although it does a great job of knowing which emails are assignment related, even those discussing sensitive topics like war, sex Ed, etc. Had some trouble scaling to load when COVID lockdown hit but recovered after a day or two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides compliance filtering and safety monitoring of student email and cloud storage. We also use the service that allows anonymous reporting of harmful situations, bullying, drug use, etc. This greatly helps the admin and counseling teams in being proactive with student issues.
We’ve been using Gaggle for over 10 years, during which time we’ve been able to intervene in multiple suicide situations, prevented self harm, helped many deal with bullying situation, dealt with vaping problems, etc.
In time critical situations, where students may be harmed, Gaggle calls a designated call list repeatedly until someone answers, and in some extreme cases can resort to calling authorities. This service operates 24/7.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There’s not much to say except buy it. It works and is relatively inexpensive, especially considering the ramifications of having such extensive monitoring and alerting into your students’ email.
Better than expected
What do you like best about the product?
Gaggle really helped me be able to identify in my own children and other student some at risk areas when it came to depression and possible thoughts of self harm. It’s helped me see how much children are exposed to at young ages and how it affects them in the long run. It also has helped me be able to identify and recognize when a child is in need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it delves in to too much information about each person who uses it. The amount that it analyzes is astounding. It saddens me that we have to go so in-depth to see what it really happening to these kids.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding and knowing how prevent child depression. The details that it teaches you to look for are amazing. My number 1 benefit was better understanding of what these children are being exposed to and how they are reacting to it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to get to know the product. The more time you spend in it, the more opportunities you have to use it.
Gaggle helps find those kids who are falling through the cracks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Gaggle just grabs any document that has specific keywords and helps us identify students who are struggling in an educational setting. It's nice to have the ability to see what students are writing/journaling about whenever they involve self-harm/suicidal ideation. We've helped a lot of students get the extra support they need because of this. Overall, it is an incredible program that every school should use!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike about it, it does what it is supposed to do and doesn't leave much to the imagination. The only thing that would be nice is if there was someway to see all of my Gaggle Reports in one place, but I'm an end user so I don't always see those things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're helping students who might have otherwise fallen through the cracks get support with mental health struggles. We've realized how many students write/email about it for assignments and it gives us a great place to start checking in with those students who we didn't know were struggling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I haven't been a part of the setup process, but it is definitely an incredible program and easy to use once it is setup. The gaggle team also gives their opinion on the level of urgency with each email/document that is picked up. I really think this can be used well for any school or organization that is wanting to make sure their students/employees are safe!
No more gaffles with Gaggle!
