    I’d say it’s very well suited for organizations looking to move toward AI integrations and make more data-driven decisions. As I mentioned, I’ve also used the competing product from Blackbaud, which is a very closed system — you can’t really pull out the data. Salesforce, on the other hand, has a big advantage with its APIs, allowing you to extract data, store it in Data Cloud, and do much more with it.
    However, if your requirements aren’t clearly defined or if there’s heavy customization involved, the implementation can get messy. So I wouldn’t recommend using Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud in cases where the requirements and structure aren’t clearly laid out.

    In my experience I feel YourCause is well suited for: Companies that need to manage multiple corporate giving, volunteering, and grant making programs, etc. on one platform. For companies looking for an easy and effective way of vetting non-profit organizations. Those organization focused on employee engagement and looking to measure employee participation and using data to share impact and storytelling. Company platform super users or platform admins looking to influence new products and ideas as early adopters.

    Pros
    Salesforce
    • NPSP is designed to help with donor management.
    • There are free add-ons for volunteer management.
    • There is a new Program Management Module to better manage program participation and attendance.
    • Campaigns help organize and report on marketing efforts though we use a third-party solution to send out marketing materials.

    • The Engagement Element functionality is flexible and user-friendly.
    • The IRS database integration is a great feature when employees are able to choose any charity in the U.S.
    • It is very helpful to see your total community impact (volunteering and giving) on one page.
    • Our dedicated account manager is great - very responsive and proactive.
    • Integration with Workday.

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • Organizations that are new to Salesforce need to be prepared for report building and other configurations. Customization is a great feature, but it can be overwhelming if not impossible for a brand new user.
    • Salesforce Trailhead is robust but can be confusing and overwhelming.
    • I'm currently comfortable with only using Salesforce CMS or any iteration on a desktop.

    • There is not a blogging feature, it would be great to have that as an innovative feature in the future. Many firms are lookign at new ways to always share their stories, story tell, and allow their employees to share their volunteer and charitable giving passions.
    • It would be very beneficial if external NPOs could create events within CSRconnect on the compamy's behalf. This would help drive volunteerism and the administrative burden.
    • There are a lot of steps to "Give" to an NPO and also request a company match.
    • There are no generic toolkits to help onboard new companies to show them how to set up different features i.e. playbook. There is not a guide that outlines the different tools and functions, etc.

    Usability
    Salesforce
    Salesforce CMS is very intuitive and easy to use. I have not found where it glitches or crashes out. You can tell where data is "supposed to live" and it you aren't sure, there is an easy search function. Support is made readily available.

    The usability of CSRconnect is light years ahead of our last program and we are so thankful for this. Some of our employees get intimidated by using the computer so it is helpful when the site is user-friendly and welcoming for our employees. They are also easily able to find events in the portal.

    We do have issues with having to reload pages when we are working on reports or engagement tiles. If we dont reload something the information that we have been working to input in to the site or the reports do not save. This can be frustrating when we are on time constraints

    Support Rating
    Salesforce
    I have never had bad conversations with any support people with Salesforce but we also have not used them very much. I put it a little less because we are struggling to switch to lightning (some of our custom features do not migrate well) and it feels like the help and support for a little organization is not incredibly helpful unless we want to spend a lot of money.

    The implementation process was a bit rocky but ended up okay. The account manager is new and still learning himself so many of our questions are answered with "let me look into that and get back to you". He absolutely gets back to us and is very nice but not always very knowledgeable which can get frustrating.

    It was a little challenging doing training on line i think in person may have been a little easier. we also did training before we had access to certain things so when the time came to use that training we had questions that came up that were not apart of the initial training.

    I wasn't involved in the decision to go with Your Cause but I came on as the implementation was happening. It was clunky at best but that was mostly due to our previous account rep not being in a role that suited his talents along with YC being new and us being a very large global company with lots of IT/HR challenges

    As a cloud native organization with no previous Microsoft infrastructure, Salesforce was a more logical and effective option for us. The suite of products was also far more comprehensive and required less customization. We were able to adopt a "configure not code" approach to our development of systems to support our mission that lowered the cost of upgrades.

    When we chose YourCause it was because of the access to data and the fact that their CSR and Grant platforms "spoke" to each other. Also YourCause seemed to be more forward thinking and innovative. The fact that YourCause platform supported giving with so many countries/languages was impressive as we were expanding. Their platform for the end user was also significantly more advanced, easy to use and modern than others.

    Return on Investment
    Salesforce
    • New email platform (integrated with Salesforce and based on Salesforce segmentation) increased open rate by 7%
    • Using Salesforce Flows to design a custom batch process for approving small grants reduced days of work to one or two clicks.
    • We replaced a paper system (walking around with a clipboard) to a virtual system (you can do it from anywhere!) for approving payments.

    • We have been able to more accurately track global volunteerism.
    • Having an online platform for employees to organize their team volunteer projects has been wonderful. They are either doing more of them (we are so busy) or they were always doing all these activities but we are just finally aware of them because there is a platform to use now.
    • Reporting is not as flexible nor robust as we need it. Still doing many manual steps to get the data how we need it.
