My institution purchased Altru for its strong philanthropy functions, and required all departments to use it. I use it for scheduling school outreach programs.

From what I can see, this software looks like it could be a great tool for some applications.

The interface is intimidating and confusing for my staff, and requires a lot of training to use.

The financial and revenue setup can be intimidating, since there's a general ledger behind all the sales and revenue transactions.

Altru has a wonderful feature of copying appointments and holding them for you to reschedule. I love how there is a database of clients and you can easily search for them.

We have been with Altru for over three years and in that time have seen constant improvement and updates to the product. Their support staff is the best I have ever seen with any software company.

Ease of use for an entry-level user. The system has an incredible ability to capture and relate data.

We now have the ability to get a true look at all the ways our constituents are interacting with our organization.

Because the Altru community is very responsive and the fact that the developers listen to the client's concerns, I am confident that Altru will become greater than it is now.

I think the navigation on Altru can be a bit tricky.

The two main issues I have is there is no exchange process, only a refund with a receipt. That is not exceptable in.

I love the amount that you can do on Altru and that it can all be done in one place.

Altru is direct and straight to the point. It has a places to include a lot of information which can be good for creating thorough profiles.

The canned reports aren't always easy to manipulate when downloaded while the queries can be difficult for those not using them on a regular basis.

For frontline staff, the user interface for ticketing is easy to use and very intuitive. Training staff is so much more pleasant with this software.

We are still learning which is great. The capacity of the system is rich.

I also really am impressed and appreciate the customer support. Since I'm fairly new to Altru, I have a lot of questions.

I enjoy the ability to navigate different ways to get the same result, it helps with training people who learn and think in different patterns.

Completely cloud based, and allows unlimited user licenses at no extra charge, so you can sell tick.

I also don't like how when you check in a group it automatically submits their payment (box is checked automatically). If you don't remember to uncheck it there is no way to undo it.

Sales Orders are too rigid - need to be able to edit and add appeal codes.

Altru is a very detailed system and it covers so many areas that have so many intertwining cogs that it can be difficult to navigate for some users and it can be a bit cumbersome.

I love that Altru is constantly receiving updates and that the customer service team really does listen to feedback from the customers.

I also think the customer service is wonderful and always available - which is great. I also really appreciate that the system is very intuitive.

As I mean it is great for the money if you are looking to have a tool to maintain unlimited accounts, but that is really the only true good aspect of it.

Some integration with on-line banking is not yet working well. Sometime the processing seems slow but this could be our internet.

It is a great all around management program for any organization.

When pulling results, it only pulls primary information and if the information is not loaded correctly, it can be a problem.

I highly recommend Artfundi to any art business or individual looking for a strong system that empowers growth and simplifies day-to-day operations.

Easy to use - as you use the software more, you become more familiar with it, and your workload increases. Artfundi is also much more affordable and provides the same features as competitors.

The Artfundi Team is a highly professional, vastly knowledgeable, and wonderfully humane team to deal with.I would recommend their offering without hesitation.

They truly care about improving your business and play an active role in doing so.

Overall the tools and service they provide make my life easier as a curator. The constant development and improvement of their services makes it easy for me to recommend them.

What's really great about Artfundi is that they're constantly developing their software to improve their offerings according to your needs.

With Artfundi's built-in online system, entering essential information is easy. The Artfundi back end provides a solid foundation for my colleagues and me to focus on other core activities.

Artfundi is very intuitive and easy to operate. The backend and front-end integration is seamless.

Very easy to learn - the more you operate the more familiar the software became the faster I could manage my workload (practice makes perfect).

Artfundi is a well-thought-out platform that puts customers experience in the forefront. The support and customer care is outstanding, they truly make you feel as though you are a member of the tribe.

Over the years, I’ve appreciated Artfundi reaching out to us, checking into the bigger picture beyond operational matters of the gallery.

No query or question is too big or too small – the support staff’s helpful, patient nature and vast knowledge encourages easy engagement.

Their service and support is excellent and prompt which is really valuable for an art centre that relies on aesthetic, visuals and an online presence to engage with a broad audience.

ArtFundi is great value for money - it's helped us to up our professionalism tenfold without breaking the bank.

Customer service is prompt and helpful for such a small team.

Artfundi has made it easier with their online build-in system that allows me to plug in the important information without having the hassle.

There is no online sales platform as of yet. But, I have been told it is on the cards in the future.

I love the way content links to the artist profiles, so when looking at an artist, everything related to them is there in one place. It saves us money every month.

The Wall card label layout doesn't fit the stickers we use in our London Gallery so we print them on the card and cut the card. They could add additional sticker configurations.
