Pros

Apricot by Social Solutions is very user-friendly. Staff training and use has been a breeze. Staff and volunteers very quickly pick up on the navigation which creates confidence and user empowerment.
Apricot by Social Solutions is flexible. Organizations can adjust the software to match their structure during the implementation phase and easily make adjustments on their own after implementation.
Apricot by Social Solutions is affordable. It is still a significant investment for an organization that has not previously purchased case management software, but in comparing twelve different software solution options, Apricot by far offered the greatest value.

Customer Service: Foundant is always super helpful and speedy in their responses to my questions, whether it's an email or call.
Connections to other users: There's a great online community that's willing to share what works for their organizations.
Company Response/Development: Foundant is continually updating (where it needs to) to make their product the best it can be, and is willing (and does) take comments and suggestions from clients for how the software could be improved.
Training: A variety of training options- ranging from in person conferences to web-based tutorials. Very helpful, and updated as the product is.

Cons

The user interface can be to be intimidating for low volume users.
More free training options made available for new users.
When wholesale updates are made to forms the existing workflow and setup of the existing form is disrupted requiring additional editing by the administrator.

Alternatives Considered

We selected Apricot to warehouse our client data and to be able to serve as a backup to our data reports for our funder. Apricot is more fluid than the three (3) entities I've worked with in the past. In other words, Apricot allows us to now go from Intake Form data entry directly to Reporting, as we've figured out how to generate corresponding report features on the platform. We can generate reports and see reporting information whenever we want, especially in times ahead of our actual need to deliver reports to the funder; whereas with the other platforms, I was not able to generate reports from those entities with direct client Intake information.I truly enjoy the secure web form feature, too, because it allows clients to enter information on-the-spot at our center, eliminating the middle man (my staff) having to do it. Ultimately, we cut down on the days we take to generate reports, altogether, and are able to repurpose that newfound time to program delivery and program recruitment.

It's helped us gain efficiencies.
We've stabilized the cost of our data management. The pricing structure provides better value than competitors that seemed to nickel and dime us.
