Overall Satisfaction with Bloomerang

We are using Bloomerang to manage donors across two organizations. It is in the process of being used across the whole organization to manage our donor database and to provide reporting for our development officer.
  • Dashboard clearly shows present time
  • All activity is able to be integrated for reporting -- from giving to volunteer to interactions made with individuals from the organization.
  • Defining criteria for specific mailings and reports is quite complex.
  • There is not a way to show involvement by household and so we have to softcredit each member in order to show involvement.
  • It is not possible to record individuals who are part of an organization making pledges on a monthly basis. We have to go back in and change all entrys in an import individually to have them account for the payment after the import has been made.
  • It is next to impossible to integrate two organizations in a way that is easy to use with one database
  • This is not a good database program to integrate with accounting
Bloomerang is a wonderful database management system. It is just not a complete package with accounting an pledge management and grants management and donor funds management as we need it to be. We didn't look hard enough when we started.
If the colleague is looking for database management only for their organization I would highly recommend Bloomerang, and I have done so. We are learning, for our purposes that this is probably not going to work for us in the long term. We need a much more integrated program to be efficient.
