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 Well suited for sending mass emails or emails to certain groups, sending automated emails, collecting donations, and peer-to-peer communication. They have a good support team. I'm still figuring out how to best manage supporters, it's not as intuitive as I would like. I used to just manage all donor information on Google Sheets, and I still prefer Google Sheets.
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 User-Friendly. As a user, it is an intuitive product. When you are working, it is easy to navigate. Fundraising Pages: Salsa Engage allows you to easily and quickly make fundraising pages that can be pushed out to your community of donors. CRM: Easy to manage the constituents. When someone signs up for our fundraising pages, the software captures the demographics and either matches up to the existing donor or creates a new constituent. Salsa CRM listens to their customers and works well with the user base. Most ideas are listened to and can see that requests are pushed out in updates. Read full review Cons I really can't think of a thing! Read full review When we started with Salsa, not every option was available online, some were desktop specific. As it has been some time since I worked with Salsa these have probably been resolved. The ability to communicate between Salsa CRM and other Salsa software options. Sometimes the crossover was not as efficient as was needed. Tagging and setting up rules for particular donors was somewhat confusing - meaning, therefore, that the amount of training needed to implement the software was somewhat intensive.

Read full review Usability You do not have to be a tech-savvy person to be able to use the CRM. Reporting is easy to do.
Read full review Support Rating Their tech support is very good and I am very pleased with it. They speak in non-techie lingo for my non-techie staff just as easily as they speak techie to me (a techie). I appreciate their quick turn around in time to answer our questions and the follow up to make sure their answer(s) helped.

Salsa Engage and perhaps after our transition has taken place it might be a viable option versus using Constant Contact for internal and external correspondence.
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 Has helped increase our donor retention as we are able to track all communications with donors ensuring that they remain connected. The improved emailing (with fewer bounce rate) has helped increase our website and donation page visibility. We've sold more tickets to our fundraising events with an improved event management system. Read full review ScreenShots
