Likelihood to Recommend DonorSnap is perfect for our organization due to its ease of use; there isn't a big learning curve. Because we can create additional fields, we are able to segment reports based on those fields and appeal to specific groups. Additionally, with the number of classes and events that we conduct throughout the year, by being able to take online registrations and then have those in DS without anything more than a click to do, it streamlines the process immensely. Learning how to create reports can be slightly challenging if you are accustomed to working with a different platform, but I think it's that way when switching from any program to another.
Read full review PatronManager is probably best for a larger organization with a dedicated technology expert because a lot of the features require someone to understand the back end a little bit more, especially when you need help (and a lot of the webinars or feature releases are way over the average person's head!). Data mining becomes frustrating because the reporting features are very backwards. PatronManager is very user friendly on the ticketing center and its easy to train new employees on this side.
Read full review Pros The software is rich with features. Their online support is quick to respond. Many user-defined fields which provide greater adaptability to meet our needs. Easy to navigate. Read full review Building custom reports is intuitive and user friendly. Integration with third party apps such as MailChimp is seamless and functional. Support requests are handled quickly, and the annual user conference offers special training and in-person demos. Read full review Cons I really can't think of a thing! Read full review Reporting features are difficult to use. Built for orgs that have IT management, challenging at a small shop. Not easily customizable. Read full review Alternatives Considered We reviewed more than 100 donor management software applications and found DonorSnap to be right for our organization. Do your research and compare what are your priorities, what is offered by the variety of software on the market, what can you live without, can you upgrade in the future, do you trust the developers, etc.
Read full review The PatronManager user experience is far superior, and custom report-building is the easiest I have ever seen on a CRM platform. Pricing is also competitive, and customer service + support far exceeds other platforms I have used in the past.
Read full review Return on Investment We spend so much less time doing data entry and generating reports than we spent with our previous four database providers. This is a very inexpensive donor management system in comparison with the others that we have used saving us thousands of dollars annually. DonorSnap has more than met our business objectives of being able to track donors, donations, payments, registrations, etc. Working from the cloud provides me with quick access to information regardless of location - even the mobile app is great! Read full review PatronManager has saved us a lot of money compared to former ticketing software (Vendini). PatronManager has less ticketing fees associated, enabling audiences to up their purchase with an add-on donation that we get to keep. Read full review ScreenShots
