Overall Satisfaction with Aplos

As a non-profit, having the ability to track gifts and expenses via our various funds is a must. Aplos does a great job of that.

Pros

  • Reporting by Fund
  • Ability to split transactions by fund
  • Custom reports

Cons

  • In my experience, report filters don't always work like they should.
  • Recent updates have made entering transactions more complicated for me, instead of easier.
  • No ability to delete or deactivate contacts so your list will always grow and you pay based on the number of contacts.
  • In my experience, needs better interface options with other software
  • Easy so see what's in each fund at a glance
  • Fixed asset management was not easy for me
In my opinion, recent improvements have made working in Aplos more cumbersome, instead of easier. The new look seems less professional than the old look to me.
I think there should be more options to have a default setting when starting some tasks, like opening a register.
I think Aplos has better fund management.

Would you buy Aplos, powered by Velora again?

Yes

Aplos integrates with Bloomerang. It brings donations in as either individual or organization, but there is no name or account number associated with the transaction. When reconciling over 500 transactions each month, many at the same amount, it can be tedious to be sure I am reconciling the right transaction. Having the donor name associated with each transaction would be very helpful.

Aplos Support

In my experience, Aplos support used to be awesome...very quick responses and open to suggestions. I could even see my suggestions implemented from time to time. Now I get an answer, but it's usually 'that's how it is' and no solution. 'Improvements' are not improvements to me.

Good followup
Support cares about my success
Quick Initial Response
Difficult to get immediate help
I have never needed to as support used to be very responsive. I didn't know premium support was available, but I don't see paying more. Aplos is already quite expensive.
