Apricot by Social Solutions is user-friendly when you need to retrieve client data entered. You can retrieve /search for information in different ways besides names. It allows you to retrieve data based on race, age, gender, etc. The support team is really amazing. I have experienced a client specialist get on a virtual call with me and walk me through creating a report. I have been stuck trying to figure out what error I made while running a report. The client specialist took the time to look through my support and tell me what needed to be corrected. I have worked with other data companies and they do not have a great support team like Apricot.

The software is really easy to navigate and figure out the flow of. New features and additions are easily picked up, and we're able to ensure really good functionality for our staff who use it based on their needs. Utilizing the Connect portals for individual case managers has eased communication as well. We utilize a Tier 1 that allows us to cohort together clients and add group information. We are limited on the number of students that can be added to those and can't adjust those limits, which can make some data tracking a little more strenuous. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to pivot to doing our work online which was very heavily paper-based beforehand. With Apricot, it was simpler for us to make that sudden switch.

(Appropriate)-We collect information and run end-of-the-month reports to help us keep track of our budget. Also, we can evaluate the client's improvement through a rating system. (Less appropriate)-When we open a file stated longer than a year ago and refer to the client's date of birth, we get erroneous information since the system doesn't update the calculation automatically.

I think it is well suited to tracking volunteers once it is set up correctly. The technicians are very helpful if you have a problem. Set up a report then run the report. You can export the report to Excel and you can have a mailing list of volunteers or a monthly list of the hours volunteers put in. We categorize our volunteers by programs so we know how many hours are put in for each program.

I have often recommended Apricot to other small or mid-sized nonprofit organizations that are looking to implement a central database for the first time without the support of a robust data management team. For larger organizations with more staff infrastructure to manage more complex data management software, Apricot may not meet their needs.

Our team has customized the program to mimic paper forms for Case Manager Assessment; this makes it easy to enter the information into Apricot. After the initial Assessment, weekly meetings are conducted, and handwritten notes (SOAP) are added to Apricot. Apricot allows us to input information while meeting with clients. We feel it's not appropriate to have a computer, creating a barrier between the client and us.

Apricot is very user-friendly. Any new employee under the age of 40 that I train to use the software comment on how user-friendly it is, how easy to navigate it, and how smoothly the process flows.

Apricot is great for organizing and searching within our database of clients. Entering clients is an incredibly timely process, however. Especially for households with several people, it can take 30+ minutes just to enter their information. This is largely due to the fact that not everything from a household profile copies over to individual profiles created from the household page. Perhaps this is a user error and could be fixed on our end. I also wish the report running process was more dynamic and easy to understand both before and after the report has been run.

The product is easy to customize. A deficiency is that some fields cannot be accessed for reports. This has necessitated some trial and error and re-entry of data several times. There should be a way for the platform to notify an administrator of this during the drag-and-drop process.

Apricot by Social Solutions is an easy and user-friendly software that is helpful in most nonprofit organizations. I prefer the Apricot 360 or the Core version. Improve and give this accessibility to database management to create the most professional forms and reports. Unfortunately, the query section is closed, and I could not use that part.

Apricot is very well suited for the human services industry where clients are provided with services such as case management, legal advocacy, prevention education, etc. It is not well suited for other industries that require more statistical data such as medical facilities.

If you had asked me a year ago, my answer would have been much more positive. In my experience, in the past year, we have had multiple problems with Apricot by Social Solutions. We tried to upgrade, gave a very clear use case for our upgrade, and then found out eight months later the upgrade would not be able to address our needs. Throughout the upgrade process, we hit roadblock after roadblock. In my experience, our upgrade specialist was great, but everyone else that we worked with was slow to respond and talked around the issues, and all of our concerns have to go to their mysterious "leadership team" to see what possibilities there are to fix the problem. Our account manager, who is our main contact, is seriously lacking in communication. Emails and questions go days to weeks without answers or even acknowledgment. Their on-demand technical help used to be great, there were a handful of representatives and I knew I would get quick and accurate answers. There seems to have been a lot of turnover in that department over the last year, and now more often than not my questions have to be "taken to email" and the answer is either our system is too big, or they can't figure out why it is happening.

Very appropriate for data collection and gathering. You can capture any type of information you need as long as you can build the form for it. The form building is very intuitive and easy. Less appropriate for using with a participant, for scheduling or generally communicating to participants through apricot.

We have a very small team of users (3) for Apricot, and we always hope that we will find time to really dig into learning more about the tools Apricot has to offer because we know it would help us cut down on all the manual data collection we do for our small organization. But when we do have time, the interface can be frustrating to navigate and so we give up, knowing that we are not using the tools to their greatest benefit.

Getting it up and running and customized to your use does take a lot of time and resources. It's necessary to have team members who are very comfortable using/learning/navigating new technology and have expertise in data management. OR -- have money in your budget to outsource the set up. From conversations with Social Solutions staff prior to purchasing, I really thought it was going to be easy to set up. Easy is of course a relative term. For me, it was not easy. There were days I wanted to give up and go back to our Excel spreadsheets. Fortunately, I found an internal staff member who coached me through setting up a data base and suggested my team and I set up weekly "Explore" sessions with Apricot. As a team, we did that for 6 weeks, and we finally got things up and running -- once we overcame that major hurdle, we started to love Apricot. But, it wasn't easy.

Our organization has enjoyed learning Apricot and implementing it for case management and data collection for our non-profit. For the things we need to do on a daily basis like maintaining student contact records, logging incident and first aid reports, marking program attendance, and tracking student success, it has worked well. The functionality of the system and ease of use is pretty great, but it also has an abundance of capabilities that can create a steep learning curve. Our organization lost institutional knowledge of the product and our new team members had to learn the system from scratch; that situation was challenging and we did not feel like we received all the support we could have from the Social Solutions Team. That being said, our interactions with customer support specialists have always been positive and the chat function within the system provides an almost immediate response to our questions and needs which has been extremely helpful. Overall the system works well for our non-profit and we are still learning all the system is capable of.

After a very thorough vetting process, we were thrilled to be transitioning our old database management software and partnering with a more robust case-management software, Apricot360. We 1000% recommend folks going with the implementation partner SideKick Solutions until you have a full in-house IT department. We love how customizable Apricot360 is to meet the needs of our National Angels case managers and increase efficiency, so they can spend more time serving children, youth, and families! One of the features that really stood out was their reporting – being able to easily pull reports that generate real-time data, we will be able to track our outcomes and prove our impact both as a National Organization and on a local level. We hope to see hours that are no longer going to be spent on dual-recording data, tracking data, and manual reporting --> increase the number of people we serve and the depth of service we can provide.

It is super amazing for tracking lots of data about many different clients. It is really great at running reports so you can look at the broad picture of any selection. Some workflows are tedious and time-consuming, and the am and pm time stuff seems like it could be fixed very easily.

It can track attendance of programs, workshops, and classes; student profile features; uploading of forms and docs within the student profiles is a good feature. The setup is confusing and the week-long training left out major areas needed to properly set up Apricot 360. It resulted in lost time and building the platform incorrectly. It isn't well suited for non-profits who can't afford such a high program software cost year after year.

I would recommend Apricot for organizations that don't have a lot of data capacity and trying to capture mostly direct service work. I would not recommend Apricot for organizations that track data in different ways or more complex ways.

As I mentioned, my team inputs all of our interactions with our tenants. It is super easy to navigate the site and super simple to upload our information. It is extremely convenient because it stores all of our data and is easy to access the information we input.
