Mind blowing
Saved us time and money!
PROSJust about EVERYTHING! My company switched from Greater Giving to ReadySetAuction this year for our Fall Festival and Silent Auction and what a difference did it make. RSA saved me so much time this year, all I had to do was put the correct information in and the software did everything else for me (no more days of having to type the same information 3 different times in 3 different places). This software is EXTREMELY user friendly, their customer service is top notch and the price is right. Another benefit for me was it's compatible with DonorPerfect! I would highly recommend this to anyone!
CONSI really have no BIG complaints about this software. My only hiccup was that you can't have 2 packages with the same name (for instance, we do a silent auction of gift certificates and if you have 2 gift certificates for the same place and same amount but you want to separate them, you have to change the name of the second one slightly, even if that means just putting an extra space).

Made going "Virtual" easy!
I love Ready, Set, Auction and have not only recommended it to many people but have also had many people who participated in my events ask me about it. I highly recommend the telephone customer service with the package. I honestly think that should just be added into the cost and included, because you can save yourself hours of stress and frustration with one quick call. Their phone customer service is very good. One thing I like most about RSA is that they are very responsive and if you have an idea or a request for a change, they are very likely to listen and actually change it! That is rare. Much better than the systems I used to run events at much larger organizations. Money well spent. We eliminated the need to do a live auction AND a silent auction by putting all our big ticket items in a mobile auction!
PROSThis product is easy to use from a auction standpoint and made having a mobile auction very easy! I have used it once in a Live event experience (with a mobile auction) and once in a 100% virtual event environment. Great turnkey process for a mobile auction!
CONSIt is a little difficult on the Patrons to have them have to sign in and make a password every year. Many people ended up getting confused and making a duplicate profile with a different email. A link to the original profile for those that exist already with a "forgot password" option might be more streamlined.
Reason for choosing ReadySetAuction
Best all around product for everything I needed, event management with donor base info, online website, ability to put sponsors logo's on website, online sponsor options, online tickets and most of all Mobile Auction with flexibility on how long the auction can stay open.
Reasons for switching to ReadySetAuction
That system was much more complicated than necessary and did not include a Mobile Auction possibility.

Good option for charities and non-profits
ReadySetAuction has been perfect for running auctions (both online and live) for various non-profit organizations. It's easy to set up and get running even for the non-technical people.
PROSFirst and foremost, ReadySetAuction is amazing solution for non-profits looking to run auctions. RSA integrates perfectly with DonorPerfect allowing you to keep track of everything under one roof. The interface is relatively easy to set up, but be prepared to invest a good amount of time setting up and adjusting your auction or event, as there's a ton of settings and variables that need to be adjusted.
CONSIt takes a bit of time to set up an auction or event, and the flexibility/customization of the program is a bit limited.
Vendor Response

Good software for simple events- not great for complex needs
Overall, I like the product. I feel like it does what I need as far as event auctions go. Unfortunately my organization decided to go with a different product that "does more" for their events. The biggest thing they were looking for is ways for guests to check-in online before the event and ensure that a card is saved on file.
PROSI like the simplicity to get the auction page set up and running. I like that once users have logged in, they can fairly easily access the auction without issue. The structure of the website is set up in a way that makes sense to find the sections/data that we need.
CONSWhile I like the simplicity, there are some things that are too basic; like the design and features available. Setting up the pictures in the auction requires a URL to post the picture instead of just having it ready to upload. Many of our guests have had major issues trying to log back into their account during the events. While I recognize that it is mostly an individual user error, we have many elderly guests who get very frustrated quickly and it can make them avoid the auction altogether if they experience issues. We have also had credit cards not get saved to accounts, and then high bidders failed to pay for their winnings.

I'm not sure, it was done before I joined the organization.

So Easy!
Easy to understand and use.
PROSWe are new to Ready, Set, Auction. We signed up and then had to have our auction the same week, and a holiday week at that. It was so easy to set up and use, when I did have a question the response was fast and helpful. Loved it. Almost excited to have another auction.
CONStoo new to know but so far everything was great!
