If you are managing a nonprofit agency, advocacy group, or political campaign, NationBuilder is likely the best tool available for the job. It has everything you need in one package, excellent support from NationBuilder reps, and plenty of reputable case studies that show its effectiveness. There is also a robust network of capable partners that build custom solutions and provide consulting.

• Great platform for managing website, social media, and donations in a single dashboard.
• Some particularly helpful features includes turf maps for walking door to door.
• I really appreciate the included voter files.

• Some different views to examine audience at different engagement levels. Some more visual tools on engagement levels and the 'shape' of our audience in terms of opens, engagement, actions, etc.

Incentivized

• NationBuilder lacks the ability to create a message board.
• NationBuilder needs to add threaded comments so you can respond to people who comment on your page.
• NationBuilder needs to make it easier to offer tiered memberships.

I'm not sure. I was not involved at this stage of the decision-making process

• Allowed easy metrics reporting for funding, unified engagement of advocates, and easy to learn.

• The NationBuilder ecosystem is a well-connected, supportive bunch and it has been great to be a part of that
• Most inquiring clients are already aware of NationBuilder's benefits and know what they want to accomplish. This saves time during the on-boarding process
• NationBuilder's sales team is undereducated about the platform and I have received feedback from clients that they are sharks/difficult to work with. This is a big problem and I have lost business from it
