Bonterra Salsa Engage vs. Give Lively

For smaller organizations who don't have extensive data needs (i.e. not many audiences to segment) and who don't need robust reporting, this works great.

If you’re not using another service or CRM to manage online forms, then you’ll need something like Give Lively. However, there are so many products with robust feature lineups that can be used to centralize work efforts that a singularly faceted product falls flat.

• Integration with SalesForce
• Easy-to-use interface
• Technical support

Incentivized

• It’s an effective form for donations
• Integrates well with our payment processor stripe

Incentivized

• Translation from salsa engage into our CRM system
• Could use more modern email templates
• More restrictions regarding image upload. Currently, you can upload any size and insert it. The email will not send correctly but you do not receive an error message.

Incentivized

• The reporting functionality leaves something to be desired. In my opinion, it's hard to find and confusing to understand what timeframe you’re looking at.
• It’d be nice to be able to customize export fields before download. There’s a lot of extra info provided to sift through.

Easy to use interface, far superior to classic. You did this right.

I feel this product is much less user friendly than others I’ve used in its place. I feel I spend too much time searching the overly complicated navigation menus and dealing with export cleanup.

Support response has been swift and knowledgable, though not always the answer I've wanted. One huge design flaw is if I add a new Salesforce field to sync, Salsa Engage will not sync it unless it has changed since the last sync, requiring me to fake an update for an entire database or re-sync the whole enchilada. Better to recognize it's a new Salesforce field and perform the sync en masse.

EveryAction is a lot cheaper, but Salsa has more featured with targeting certain elected officials/better text messaging strategies

I think Little Green Light will be a better alternative. We are currently building the online form so that our donation landing page can link directly with LGL and we’re hoping to cut Give Lively as the middleman platform out of our tech stack.

Incentivized

• Our event participants are always maxed out and Engage allows them an easy way to sign up and participate.

Incentivized

• It’s our current donation platform which is a huge benefit to have an online presence that doesn’t involve QR codes and Venmo accounts
• Expands constituents ability to give in other ways beyond cash or check donations
