Overall Satisfaction with Bloomerang

Our company has been struggling to bring In donation money. We hired a development director to increase revenue. She was in charge of maintaining the database to track donors, trends, and volunteers. As IT, I was brought in to set up the system. While she was employed the database was updated and some donation forms created. She has since been terminated and not replaced so the database is not being well maintained anymore.
  • Easy to use interface
  • Good reporting that is easy to modify
  • Easy setup
  • Has built in way to do online donation form
  • Web forms are ugly and clunky
  • Settings are not the best organized
  • Cannot do suggested donation amounts on an online form without including a text item next to each amount (ex/ $100 Gold Level $50 Silver Level cannot just do $100, $50, etc.)
Bloomerang does not have all the bells as whistles. It is a very paired down system compared to Blackbaud. However, Bloomerang is significantly cheaper and easier to use. If you only have one employee, it would be a good solution.
If you’re looking for a donor management system that isn’t as complex Blackbaud, Bloomerang can work for your business. I wouldn’t recommend it if you will have a lot of online donation forms unless you want to host them on your website. We didn’t want to do the additional work to get approved to host online forms on our domain and wanted to use their external link so it was their domain. That severely limited the customization.
