Overall Satisfaction with Greater Giving
Our organization is using this nationally for event coordination purposes. We use it track all event related sales, purchases and auction donations pre-event. We also use the system the night of the event to track night of purchases, to do guest check-in and check-out, as well as run the electronic auction.
- Payment Facilitation
- Ticket Puchasing
- Auction Coordination
- [I feel the] auction system is not as sophisticated as other systems
- Staff support structure
- Doesn't come out with updates very quickly [in my experience]
- It allows all staff nationwide to have access to an event management system
- Online auction facilitation
- Ticket sales
- Increased auction revenue generation
- Decreased time tracking auction details offline
- Increased staff time on auction coordination (compared to other systems)
I personally prefer GiveSmart over Greater Giving. We're now starting to role out GiveSmart nationally and the usage of Greater Giving is becoming less and less. There are a few things that Greater Giving is better than GiveSmart at...auction donation forms and ticket sales. Overall neither are perfect, but I do feel GiveSmart is slightly less slick and user friendly than other systems out there.
