It is improving but is it a little challenging learning all of the ins and outs, and where the different systems (events, database, fundraising) intersect and how. I need to do some more training to better understand the system

It is easy to build donation pages that look and feel great. All of them are excellent in terms of their mobile responsiveness. We've never had any technical issues with our donation forms and our donors have a great experience when they use them. The software itself is pretty intuitive for anyone familiar with this kind of software.

I find it very difficult to navigate between events and fundraising. I feel the menus are not intuitive so navigation within the program is time consuming and frustrating. Also, in my experience, the financial reports are not set up to match up with bank deposits which is critical when making sure tax-deductible donations are recorded correctly.

Simple to use platform, great out-of-the-box capabilities, and ease of customization. As a fundraiser it's perfect, but colleagues in data services do point out that the reporting system is a bit complex.

The internal functions are easy to use after you have been navigating the program for a while. Our audience has not had trouble accessing the features on their end. Designing event home pages for campaigns is straight forward.

There is an easy to navigate tool bar on the left-hand side that leaves plenty of room on the main page to see raw data. Data is also collected in real time and can be included in reporting immediately after the donation is made.

GiveSmart is very easy to set up and to use initially. It gets frustrating as you go on because of things you cannot do. For example, how pictures can be edited in some sections but not others. We have to ask for pictures that are in a rectangle/landscape mode; In my experience portraits do not work.
