    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

    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.

    NationBuilder
    • Customer service: We used to have a dedicated account exec who met with us monthly to give us insight into our NationBuilder, as well as tips or suggestions for things like increasing our email deliverability or duplicates. While we're busy doing the work we do, it helped raise red flags for us that we didn't know existed. Our current account exec has zero communication with us in terms of providing any tangible support and that's been a complete 180 from our initial experience.

    Usability
    DonorSearch
    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

    While it isn't the easiest to use for someone coming to it for the first time, it has become like second nature navigating it. I find that because I understand it's functionality, I have a very easy time navigating.

    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!

    NationBuilder is not as good for canvassing or phone GOTV efforts, but it's better for community building.

    NationBuilder
    • 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
