Overall Satisfaction with Salsa CRM

We are managing our database and fundraising. It has been amazing to streamline the two! We used to use several platforms for all of our needs and we found that it was nearly impossible to maintain accurate records that way, the inconsistency was inevitable. Salsa has really helped us solve that issue by creating a system (with a reasonable price tag) that talks to one another. For example, a ticket sale online will go directly into a record!
  • Integration with its marketing software, Salsa Engage, is great! Most software companies require you to pay additional for such an integration.
  • Constant updates to meet the needs of its users!
  • Its integration with other software such as wix!
  • With the constant updates comes challenges. Often times, with an update comes several small bugs that Salsa has to work to fix.
  • I believe their customer support works from home so it is challenging to get a concrete answer on the first phone call. It often takes several follow ups.
  • The implementation was a bit rocky but customer service worked with us a lot and we got through it! We were moving from Google Drive and several other platforms for ticket sales, emails, etc. so we didn't have any experience with this. It eventually all worked out and the Salsa team really stepped up to accommodate our needs.
  • Has helped increase our donor retention as we are able to track all communications with donors ensuring that they remain connected.
  • The improved emailing (with fewer bounce rate) has helped increase our website and donation page visibility.
  • We've sold more tickets to our fundraising events with an improved event management system.

The majority of our tracking was in Google Drive initially.
Salsa CRM serves nonprofits exclusively so it has been great for us, a small to mid-sized nonprofit. The solutions work to meet the unique needs of nonprofits and that has been incredibly helpful. We are thankful that the software is relatively user-friendly however, it takes quite a bit of training to utilize all of its features.
