Overall Satisfaction with Kindsight iWave

Kindsight iWave’s comprehensive database provides access to a vast amount of information on potential donors, helping us to make informed decisions about who to target for major gifts. This wealth of data significantly streamlines the prospect research process, saving valuable time and resources. We use it as our main resource to verify home ownership, board memberships and philanthropy, among others.

Pros

  • Solves the time constraints we face to do prospect research and run donor wealth screenings by providing a comprehensive one-stop-shop platform.
  • Brings up property owned by LLCs as well as those owned by individuals.
  • Helps to look for philanthropy interests by enabling the user to zero down under giving areas.

Cons

  • It doesn't interface well with our CRM, causing us to forego use of the screenings.
  • Can be picky with the apartment number format when searching under an address (using # vs. using Apt. or Unit), which can bring up a false empty response.
  • Will sometimes pull up too many variations of a name unless the name is put into quotes. Could use an exact match name box to click as an alternative.
  • Found property that did not show up in other places
  • Comes up with a more complete list of an individual's outside donations
  • Although they give relationship connections under a created profile, it is not as exhaustive as other resources.
If some features are not routinely used, there might be some challenge in figuring it out. However, we have mostly done well on our own without needing instructions, and we know that if we have any questions, their customer service would not hesitate to assist.
Kindsight iWave has always outperformed in the number and accuracy of the results given from a query as well as the different features that they offer.

Yes

Would you buy Kindsight iWave again?

Yes

Kindsight iWave is our main resource because they provide information on home ownership, philanthropy, ZoomInfo, Dun & Bradstreet, Database USA, insider filings, obituaries, and more. They also offer other services that are accessible depending upon your subscription level. Their customer service is top-notch as well.

They don't interface with all CRMs, so that is something to consider if you want to download data into your records without too much of an effort. As such, we use another resource for our wealth screenings. Nonetheless, we are extremely satisfied with their service.
