User Testimonials
	Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit is well suited for non-profit settings requiring one coordinated and one-stop-shop for electronic file management, especially of Microsoft file types such as Microsoft Word documents, Excel sheets, and PowerPoint presentations. Some scenarios where it is less appropriate are for those who need to transfer or share files across different platforms outside of the Microsoft Suite of products.

Pros	Microsoft Providing a basic framework for nonprofit organizations who've been limping along or have capped out with their current platforms to consider switching to amplify and multiply their capabilities, reach, and impact Increasing the accessibility for both citizen developers and tech teams to extend a platform, so long as there are clear parameters (business use case) and thoughtful design and architecture planning Sharing some core infrastructure that accelerates the use of important tools to further the mission of nonprofit organizations Peter Kim Executive Director of Technology Read full review
Cons	Microsoft The system is ridiculously hard to implement, requiring too many tiers of Microsoft cloud services to be enabled. The technical aspects of the product are far too complex for anyone with standard cloud-based app training to implement. The non-profit "qualification" system is poorly designed.

Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft It's been very helpful at a very discounted price, especially in data analysis and visualization with Power BI. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Other solutions may have a head start in terms of features, but MC4N is catching up quickly. Easy integration with the entire Microsoft tech stack including Office 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, Power BI saves costs over time. Microsoft’s Power Platform also allows for easy and rapid low code extensibility. Finally, the Common Data Model enables interoperability with other products and oAppSource apps. Dave Hisler Senior Director of Engineering Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Attempting to deploy Microsoft Cloud for Non-profits had a negative impact on our donor relations staff, the technical team tasked to deploy it, and upper management who watched the deployment fail. Overall, this product is too dependent on too many Microsoft Cloud services to really deploy with any sort of clear expectation to management of what the "hidden" costs would be.
