DonorSearch vs. FrontStream Panorama

When doing research, it's been very helpful to see real estate ownership along with SEC holdings in one spot which has been helpful in leads. However, with the real estate, at times it doesn't match the names on the property records which adds an additional step on my end to complete

Given the experience I have had this year, I couldn't recommend any part of their service. The product doesn't function as advertised and they don't communicate with customers to let them know what they are doing to fix it. It is a level of service that is completely unacceptable on every level.

• Broad inclusion of information
• Prior giving records
• Address information

• FrontStream Panorama allows you to customize a larger portion of your pages that you design if you have experience with HTML and coding.
• FrontStream Panorama allows you to integrate their other platforms, such as bidding for good, which is for auction items, and connect those to their ticket registration software.
• FrontStream Panorama allows you to pull reports and customize and save reports you might use often.

• Too many names included even when the correct address has been provided for the initial query
• Not providing total clarity about DonorSearch specific definitions
• Providing too much info from low-quality profiles

• Looks dated in my opinion.

Very clean interface and easy to navigate based on labeling. Also, the onboarding process is very easy to follow and understand! DonorSearch also does weekly webinars that help and are insightful when looking to learn new things about the system

They do not seem to care about the problems of their customers. They do not return phone calls. They do not provide the updates on their support page that they promised. They have had two weeks to repair the basic functionality of their system and they have been unable to do so. This is a complete failure as far as I am concerned.

DonorSearch was the first product we onboarded for our donor research and haven't left them because of the success we have had with them so far!

We switched from Classy.org to FrontStream Panorama and then back to Classy.org. But, originally what intrigued us about FrontStream Panorama was the ability to customize our fundraising pages. Visual design is so important to storytelling and to raising revenue and it seemed like a real opportunity for us to create beautiful campaigns that raised more money. They were also slightly less expensive than competitors.
