Convio Luminate (discontinued) vs. Snap Audition

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.

For small to medium sized arts organizations, all state music auditions, in-school auditions, etc. I see Snap Audtion working very well. When an org needs a high level of specificity it can be a little difficult to make Snap Audition work exactly as you need it, but the team is very responsive.

• Big Investment
• It's a sales program with a donation management overlay so it has some troubles around reporting.

• The student audition side could be a little bit easier for middle school students to understand.
• Training Videos that can be sent to families and directors would be helpful.
• A way for teachers to upload auditions instead of each student having to have an account (bulk upload).

I can imagine that it might provide some drawbacks but I only experienced the platform as a judge, not a coordinator

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.

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.

Get Acceptd is basically the only other service out there doing this kind of work. Their price point makes it entirely unusable for almost any organization.

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