Vetted Review
Verified User
- Customizable to our needs to case manage many clients
- Search Clients; Reports
- View document folder, check enrollments
- Reminders or "ticklers" so we don't miss an action or appointment
- Some information seems repetitive in different files (but might be how we set up our customization).
- Bigger message to remind me to SAVE Record :)
- I have found it hard to link records, but I'm not a super user
April 01, 2024
Wonderful application
- Simplify the note submitting process
- Pin important sections in a person's file
- Easy Access information
- Submitting notes--> the next options should be in the center of the screen for simplicity, not on the top
- The ability to submit a note twice should be taken away

Review
- flexibility to build the system you need
- easy end user implementation
- ability to hold large amounts of data for data mining
- some of our data has disappeared after implementation
- it can be clunky to run reports if you're not an administrator, particularly after updates
- it would be nice if client search could be first middle and last name as we have several clients who have similar names but are not related to each other

Apricot is user friendly and time response back from Bonterra is quick and efficient!
- Apricot is user friendly for most of our volunteers.
- Apricot caters to our needs for client record keeping.

- Highlight the "Save Record" button or give it a color that stands out from other option buttons.
- Ease of use on the front end
- User-friendly on the back end in terms of building service forms and reports
- The scheduler is unusable for us due to the requirement of a client email.

Apricot by Social Solutions packs a punch for organizations serving individuals, but is expensive for non-profits
- Apricot by Social Solutions does a great job of making database administration simple and effective. It is easy for someone in the non-profit sector without much prior experience in similar programs to work on the back end of Apricot by Social Solutions building forms and doing reporting.
- Apricot by Social Solutions is a generally user-friendly program that our staff of many different ages and abilities are able to utilize effectively.
- The buildability of the program is a major plus for our organization, allowing us to cater Apricot by Social Solutions with exactly what we need for our programming and services.
- Apricot Core seems like it adds great functionality, but organizations that serve minors or provide family-based programming aren't able to use any of the features outside of the Form Logic. We have asked for this functionality to be available for our family-based programming and were told a few years ago that it was coming soon and have not had any updates since.
- The turnover at Apricot by Social Solutions makes building a connection with their staff extremely difficult.
- Apricot by Social Solutions customer service will only get on the phone or a Zoom call with you in extreme emergencies. All questions and issues are handled through their website chat and email, which can pose challenges in timely answers and conclusions for complex issues.
- Send out regular email updates to customers
- Host webinars that alert customers to product improvements
- Provide clear troubleshooting information for addressing data entry issues
- Almost every year I get a new customer care support person, and it can be hard to reorient each new person to my unique business case and use of Apricot by Social Solutions
- In the past, I have had issues with communication from different departments in Apricot by Social Solutions about what I was getting as part of my contract. In my experience, when I had my initial meeting to kick off upgrading our Apricot by Social Solutions instance, the majority of the information the project consultant had was incorrect. I had to send an email to someone else to rectify the situation.
- If Apricot by Social Solutions was compatible with phones that would be really helpful.
- I wish the font size and formatting were more customizable when building out forms in Apricot by Social Solutions (e.g., more similar to how customizable Surveymonkey is with different surveys).
June 29, 2023
Customizable and comprehensive.
- Customizable.
- Real-time reports.
- Notifications.
- Forms.
- Because it is highly customizable, it can be difficult for new users to navigate and administrators to maintain because there are so many steps that can be overlooked.
- It would be very helpful for people who are not users to submit data/forms.
- Forms are easily changed
- Extremely intuitive
- User friendly
- We are using Apricot Core and for a small nonprofit which is perpetually underfund, the product takes a big chunk of our budget!
- Customizable fields
- Customizable reports
- Customizable searches
- Please stop increasing the costs so dramatically for non-profits
- Find a way to help users learn about the new tools and functions
- Be sure to note when new features are add-ons

Flexible Database Management Program
- Flexibility depending on specific organization need
- Their chat function is very useful and supportive
- Knowledge base is extensive
- Permission sets can be complex and confusing
- DOB and other calculation fields do not update unless record is saved
- Many standard functions of database management require specialized knowledge

Great for Social Services Agencies!
- Great online portal for operations whether in office or from home.
- Decent report building and outputs from data.

- Report building could be simplified or rather fields could work better together to provide data outputs.

Apricot by Social Solutions Review
- User-friendly forms for managing individual and service data
- Good for running simple reports on program data
- Good for managing data for more than one program at a time
- Helpful customer service
- Report with larger sets of data not as user-friendly
- A little bit of a complex process for deleting (archiving) records without them still pulling in reports
- Sometimes the site errors
September 21, 2022
Easy to use, good reporting, still some glitches with attendance reporting features
- Ease/flexibility of configuration
- Front-end user design
- Flexible reporting
- Ability to import from other databases
- Can be a bit glitchy, especially in reporting
- For sending forms externally, the options require email addresses for each person which sometimes is not available
- Tracking group/attendance information has several different features that are not compatible with eachother

Apricot by Social Solutions: the good and the challenging
- Form builder is easy to use
- Standard user navigation is intuitive and looks simple to follow
- Basic reporting and graph functionality
- I appreciate how friendly and helpful chat ALWAYS is
- I see the company invest in improvements regularly
- I think the 360 Results Reporting is incredibly difficult to use
- I wish there was a way to update colors across the platform to streamline with our branding
- It wasnt clear when you export and import data that many of the reports will be forever impacted due to the "creation" date change.
