Overall Satisfaction with Bloomerang

We use Bloomerang to track donor information. It is integrated with our accounting software, Aplos. We are a small organization, so it used only by the development director and myself (executive director). FYI ... I currently serve as executive director in a volunteer part-time capacity; it is not on my LinkedIn profile.
  • The interface is intuitive and easy to use.
  • It offers a good solution to the always difficult challenge of how to deal with multiple people in a household.
  • Reporting is very flexible.
  • The integration with Aplos needs work. It's not clear to me why names of donors are not transferred from Bloomerang to the Aplos donors list.
  • Every contribution recorded in Bloomerang seems to get transferred to Aplos as a Stripe contribution. Aplos tech support is trying to figure out if I can instruct Aplos or Bloomerang on how to report a source of a contribution rather than have all contributions be listed as Stripe contributions.
None. We went with Bloomerang because it integrates with Aplos.
I would think it would be good for any small not for profit. My only hesitation about it is the integration with Aplos.
