User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	CharityEngine CharityEngine has the POTENTIAL to be a good CRM, but both unresponsiveness to the more complex problems go unresolved for months at a time. Employee turnover is huge, which is likely because upper management is doing nothing to solve the internal problems. I would NOT recommend this CRM at this point. While CharityEngine does allow reasonably robust storage and querying of data if you plan to send emails through your CRM, look elsewhere. CharityEngine's framework is clunky and counter-intuitive, in addition to frequently just not working at all. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. No answers on this topic
Pros	CharityEngine Allows users to create unique queries to generate targeted data. Allows the entry of addresses from all around the world, not just US addresses. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. No answers on this topic
Cons	CharityEngine No answers on this topic	Windfall Data, Inc. In my experience, horrible customer service Hidden renewal clause Andrew Dalton Executive Director Read full review
Usability	CharityEngine There are a lot of frustrating things about the general usage of CharityEngine. It syncs with a nine-digit zip code database, but doesn't automatically populate exportable fields with this data - it must be manually requested for each record. Buttons that allow a user to quickly move to a specific area of the data in a customer record frequently stop working after updates; are found by users and reported, and then take a month or longer to be fixed. A clunky and counter-intuitive "creative" database frequently fails completely and is always slow. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	CharityEngine No answers on this topic	Windfall Data, Inc. We were recommended Windfall by our fundraising counsel. I have since informed this person that he should not recommend the company to other clients Andrew Dalton Executive Director Read full review
Return on Investment	CharityEngine CharityEngine has allowed our organization to grow in the past few years, but it has not kept up with industry trends and avoids making changes and updates requested by users. Our overall business objectives cannot be met with CharityEngine alone. We must export data and use other applications to generate the data we need.
