Andar/360 vs. Convio Luminate (discontinued)

If they are a United Way organization, I would absolutely recommend. If they aren't a United Way but offer employee giving to organizations, or act as flow-through, Andar/360 will also be a great fit. If the charity is a smaller organization, Andar/360 would be too complex and wouldn't be used to its full capacity.

It does great with donor cultivation processes and the workflow feature is top-notch for automating processes. Where it does a less than stellar job is getting it to work more specifically for your organization. Often times building that kind of special feature costs a significant time and money investment and it is something that is hard to transfer when it's time to move to a new database.

Support for the product is horrible; often support will have you bouncing between Blackbaud support and Salesforce support and it's very rare either are able to find simple solutions. Most of the time the solutions almost always cost money and hiring consultants which, for a smaller organization, means not being able to achieve proper solutions.

Andar/360 is very robust, as the United Way is a large and complex organization across the globe. Andar/360 has almost everything that meets the needs of such a complex giving and funding structure.

Of the databases I have used, Luminate CRM is my least favorite. However, it is powerful and large enough to function adequately for a large nonprofit; I couldn't say the same for some of Blackbaud's smaller products. We definitely need the full Luminate Suite (Luminate Online, Team Raiser, etc.,) to make it work, though - and we're constantly disappointed by the clumsiness of the way all the pieces interact.

• Distribution of funds gets recalculated with employee giving; it has a very complex backend structure and sometimes it's out of your control
• Amazing import capability to bring in data from other tools via integration
• job queuing to save time and bandwidth
• Export and querying needs much improvement, the logic build is not intuitive, and the interface is outdated

• Uncertain; we have not collected data on this. Our Luminate package is quite expensive, though.
