Overall Satisfaction with DonorPerfect

We use it for all of our gift processing and also weblink and donor pages. We are pleased with the software and are satisfied.
  • Ease of entry/Online version.
  • Tech support is great.
  • Reporting versatility is great.
  • Import option works great.
  • I do not fully understand the compound criteria for reporting.
  • Continue tips would be helpful.
  • DonorPages is still a bit clunky.
  • It has been a resource tool in our development and fundraising efforts.
  • Entry is fast and receipting is quick and so our turn-around is within 24 hours and we are sending out a receipt.
  • Our donors have confidence that we are processing gifts accurately.
For the price and ease of use - DonorPerfect came out on top. I did not select DonorPerfect---the organization I work for has been using it for several years now.
DonorPerfect works great for our organization--I actually did some research two years ago and we found that for the price--it is a great option. Again, the reporting is an area that I would like to know more about and receive better training.

Evaluating DonorPerfect and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Usability
  • Analyst Reports
It needs to be functional and accomplish accuracy, ease of reporting and receipting.
Not focus so much on pricing - but difficult to do when you work for a non-profit organization.

DonorPerfect Implementation

Again was not part of this.
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled - It was a good move for the organization as I understand it.
  • I wasn't part of this phase.
