Overall Satisfaction with Luminate

We use Luminate online for peer-to-peer fundraising, direct digital marketing and fundraising, and eCommerce. We do not use Luminate for gift processing and reconciliation [but] instead rely on a one-way data flow to Raiser's Edge via Omatic's Importomatic.

Pros

  • Donation forms
  • Variety of built-in features

Cons

  • Email marketing
  • eCommerce
  • Data management & manipulation
  • Reporting & analytics
  • Automation
  • Documentation & user support
  • Donation forms
  • Email marketing
  • Data management
  • Positive ROI but with a hard ceiling.
[I feel] Luminate has a less evolved feature set and a significantly more closed ecosystem, limiting the uses cases dramatically.

Luminate online is no longer a product I could recommend, as [in my opinion] it has been wholly surpassed by competitors and is missing key features that would be expected for any purchase decision.
