The Almabase team is great to work with — not only addressing questions and issues quickly, but being a partner in devising our strategies.

Almabase team provides great service and is always available to answer our queries and helps us navigate through the best options for solving our requirements.

As they grow and mature this will also become a really awesome tool.

I love that this software is able to integrate with LinkedIn and Facebook to automatically capture alumni updates.

It also integrates with Blackbaud Raiser's edge, which makes uploading our transactions into the system very easy.

It's very easy to use and the platform is very friendly. The costumer support is very good and fast.

Alma has wonderful customer service. They will help you with anything.

It is also extremely easy to integrate to our database at the school, which was super valuable.

A great alumni management tool with an amazing support team.

Used to set up an alumni database for our existing and lost alumni.

I liked the ease of and use and the help documentation that was provided.

Good event registration feature. Friendly and helpful customer support.

End user experience - user friendly and easy to navigate, not cluttered with extra features. Sign-on experience is elegant and simple.

For myself, wearing multiple hats at our institution makes it difficult to use the product to its full potential.

Also, their limited customization options were not unlike those found at other providers.

Visually it looks great. It has all the functionality that we needed to do our work with the alumni community.

The price of Almabase is very fair for the functionality you receive in return for your alumni platform. It has some great syncing options.

Excellent Customer Service-User Friendly Platform.

Outstanding alumni database and giving day products.

The customer service team has been helpful and the organization seems well run and communicative between the sales team, client success managers, and engineers/product team.

Ease of use, constant development, modern interfcae.

Great customer service and good price compared to competitors. Allows alumni to have a platform to connect and network-- as much or as little as they prefer.

The ability to set up fundraising pages for our give days in a quick and easy-to-use manner. The customer service has been very responsive and very easy to work with.

Their support was above and beyond industry best practices, and they truly felt like part of our team in achieving institutional success.

Our users want to update their information easily - having the software integrated with our Raiser's Edge database is such a bonus. It allows us to easily and smoothly make updates to our records.

The team at Almabase is responsive with our questions, and helpful in making sure we are making the most of the product.

Almabase is extremely user friendly and easy to manage from a backend perspective.

I know the university followed our campaign and was so impressed they scheduled a meeting with Almabase.

Most alumni lose touch with their institute after a few years due to lack of platform where all the updates about college can be viewed.

All the functionality for the price. It was looking merely for a mentoring  platform but was delighted to find that Almabase was so much more.

I've been slightly disappointed by the lack of customization on the platform.

However, the team is in the process of expanding that integration. I'll give a follow-up review once that's completed.

I would recommend GiveSmart 100. They are professional and have a great product.

The second best feature are the sponsor ads. We like how they are not only on the homepage but integrated through the software.

There is often fear of losing donations during that down time, but their staff is always more than willing to make things right.

It has been a great relationship for us. We had onsite support for our first event and she was fantastic (and kept me sane).

The account managers are really fantastic and willing to help you through any questions or customizations you want to try.

I love how user friendly it is. It is professional looking and I love that I can manage from my phone.

The customer service at Give Smart was great. Whenever I had issues, placing a call to them was very easy and they were very responsive.

This is a great way to keep your guest up to date with auction information and send text to encourage them to donate.

Overall we have had a very good experience and recommended to others for events.

They have a great costumer support team as well as on site team. Have had nothing but good experiences with their software and team.

Seems to be missing some basic options for customizing.

Give Smart is easy to use and has a great support staff to help you through the entirety of your event and use of the software.

The seating chart functionality is very difficult and inconvenient to use.

We recommend GiveSmart to all of our clients. Overall the experience has been a good one.

Clean presentation and good aesthetics. Great functionality and quick to respond.

We have been looking for a mobile auction software service for a long time and finally found a good one within our price range.

My nonprofit ended up eating the tax that should have been charged to the purchaser (according to the law) and we lost over $1000 having to pay that bill ourselves.

Sad to think they are willing to lose a customer rather than even attempting to work with us.

Similarly, their on site staff for night of events were fantastic and super helpful - they made the service even more valuable.

We are grateful for the ease of pulling comprehensive reports. This allows to easily and accurately move the data into our data collection system.

GiveSmart is an easy way to integrate fully functional auction and bidding management software in any organization.

We enjoy the ease of use and the fact that there are Give Smart team members at our event to assist the guests.

The customer support team is fantastic. I am excited to use the new Champions feature for peer-to-peer fundraising.

Their platform, help team, resources, and webinars will motivate you to do more and be better for your organization and its mission.

It has benefited our nonprofit in many ways;  ease of use, reaching more supporters, and great record keeping.

Great text-to-give feature. Quality customer service.

And when I ran into something I needed help with, the tutorials were great, and if I still needed help, the customer support reps responded very quickly with exactly what I needed.

As an organization that turns over every year, this software has been instrumental in helping us keep the continuity for a successful event.

What I like most about this software is the customization capabilities and just how easy it really is to use.

Reporting is easy, POS/refunds are a dream, and I really like how easy it is to set up every year.
