Overall Satisfaction with CharityEngine
CharityEngine is used by one department to manage all donations to the organization. It is used to generate data for management review and audits and as a communications tool.
- Allows users to create unique queries to generate targeted data.
- Allows the entry of addresses from all around the world, not just US addresses.
- Forms for use on our website and in emails are extremely limited. 3rd party products are far better and have much more robust interfaces.
- Commonly used features frequently break and have to be reported, because when updates are made, CharityEngine staff are not fully verifying their effectiveness.
- Requests for assistance with chronic issues go unresolved for months.
- Collection of donor data.
- Ability to query on MOST data fields.
- CharityEngine has allowed our organization to grow in the past few years, but it has not kept up with industry trends and avoids making changes and updates requested by users.
- Our overall business objectives cannot be met with CharityEngine alone. We must export data and use other applications to generate the data we need.
