User Testimonials
	Qgiv	Salsa Engage
Likelihood to Recommend	Qgiv Qgiv is great for small businesses or large companies that are looking for a user-friendly software to use to process donations, sale items or simply use a tool for peer-to-peer fundraising. The customer is by far the best service I have ever received and the baseline data is easy to export for donor cultivation purposes Incentivized Marcus Madison Community Engagment Officer Read full review	Bonterra For smaller organizations who don't have extensive data needs (i.e. not many audiences to segment) and who don't need robust reporting, this works great. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Qgiv Great donor/user interface, very appealing and intuitive Excellent reporting on transactions Strong customer service Incentivized Esther Landau, CFRE Director of Development & Corporate Communications Read full review	Bonterra Integration with SalesForce Easy-to-use interface Technical support Incentivized Kevin Gay Data Manager Read full review
Cons	Qgiv I don't have any suggestions here - they treated me like royalty - anything I didn't understand they walked me through and when I forgot it the next time and had to ask again - they acted like that was common - putting me at ease to call them back any and every time I need them. Incentivized GS Greg Spink Executive Director Big Brothers Big Sisters Jasper/Newton Counties Read full review	Bonterra Translation from salsa engage into our CRM system Could use more modern email templates More restrictions regarding image upload. Currently, you can upload any size and insert it. The email will not send correctly but you do not receive an error message. Incentivized Kalyn Hoffman WMU Graduate Ambassador Read full review
Usability	Qgiv No answers on this topic	Bonterra Easy to use interface, far superior to classic. You did this right. Incentivized Kevin Gay Data Manager Read full review
Support Rating	Qgiv Customer support is amazing - they're very prompt, thoughtful in their response, and are clearly trying to help you problem solve, not just find a quick fix. Incentivized EA Emma Andelson External Affairs Assistant Read full review	Bonterra Support response has been swift and knowledgable, though not always the answer I've wanted. One huge design flaw is if I add a new Salesforce field to sync, Salsa Engage will not sync it unless it has changed since the last sync, requiring me to fake an update for an entire database or re-sync the whole enchilada. Better to recognize it's a new Salesforce field and perform the sync en masse. Incentivized Kevin Gay Data Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Qgiv Qgiv is by far a better product. No hidden fees and the team of developers continue to make updates that are relevant to keeping the software competitive and user-friendly. Also, customer service is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to troubleshooting different software scenarios. Finally, the ability to export and import is a basic and awesome necessity. Incentivized Marcus Madison Community Engagment Officer Read full review	Bonterra EveryAction is a lot cheaper, but Salsa has more featured with targeting certain elected officials/better text messaging strategies Incentivized Annie Regan Senior Campaign Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Qgiv For the price, it's a solidly positive ROI for its functionality as a credit card processor. Prior to Qgiv we used MobileCause and I think the impact of the change has been neutral. Even though the integration with Exceed Beyond isn't perfect, it's still an improvement over entering all the data by hand. Saving time is hard to calculate, but I would say it has probably dropped our donation entry time by at least 10%. Incentivized Esther Landau, CFRE Director of Development & Corporate Communications Read full review	Bonterra Our event participants are always maxed out and Engage allows them an easy way to sign up and participate.
