Just keeps getting better

We transitioned to Virtuous from Raiser's Edge several years ago, and it was probably the best decision we ever made in terms of being able to decentralize our CRM and make it accessible to our team at large. It took us a while to get everyone trained to use it but now that we are up to speed we don't know how we lived without it.

PROS

Virtuous was one of the newer CRM's when we started using it, but you can tell they are improving it all the time. As the years have gone by, its look and feel as well as features have continued to improve. It gives you the sense that you are working with a much bigger company that is dedicated to providing a quality product. It has helped our entire team have a central place to interact with donor data and we have been able to customize it to meet our needs.

CONS

There were a few hiccups initially as we got our data sorted out and imported to the platform and the fields customized for how we would use it. We probably still have some ways to go with our architecture, as we cannot continue to infinitely expand our data fields. We are at a point now where it is starting to get clunky with all the fields we have added. But it is not the fault of the platform, more the way we use it. The platform itself has continually improved.

Virtuous is the extra teammate we always needed!

PROS

Virtuous is one of the more intuitive, user-friendly CRMs I have used in my fundraising career—while still providing robust data and analysis. This is the third donor database my current nonprofit has employed over the years—the first one I was able to choose personally—and after multiple years now using the platform, we're all still very satisfied. We appreciate having instant access to upgrades and new features, and I can't begin to say how wonderful our experience with the PEOPLE of Virtuous has been. Our sales associate, data migration team, customer success specialist, and the help desk folks have provided fast, efficient, thorough, knowledgeable, proactive assistance at every step.

CONS

This is largely an out-of-the-box solution that does not require significant up-front investment of time and manpower (two things nonprofits notoriously lack) in order to build from scratch. That may not be the right choice for someone who needs or desires more customization, but it was for us. There are still plenty of built-in / best practice features that can be tailored to our unique needs.

Reason for choosing Virtuous

Virtuous offered all of the features we were looking for—and some we didn't KNOW we needed—without requiring massive amounts of work up front. What nonprofit fundraiser has time for that? Virtuous is the perfect amount of customization + convenience.

Reasons for switching to Virtuous

The Virtuous platform is far more intuitive and user-friendly, and you are free to choose integrations that work BEST (regardless of brand). Equally important and so refreshing has been the consistently outstanding customer service. It's clear that all of the Virtuous departments actually talk to each other, which means better answers and problems solved faster.

Takes your nonprofit to the next level

Virtuous allows for any number of metrics to be pulled because of the ample data it can host. It's easy enough to use to get started with but comprehensive enough that you can always find something new to analyze.

PROS

Virtuous is a step above other nonprofit CRMs. There are endless capabilities, reports, and metrics that can be pulled from Virtuous. Virtuous is intuitive enough to focus your attention on the data that matters most.

CONS

Some data could be organized better. The sync with QBO could be improved. Creating custom reports could be tweaked to be more efficient and quicker.

Reason for choosing Virtuous

Virtuous is capable of doing more for similar value.

Hoping to see an improved experience over time- not yet convinced

We are not yet sure if it was the right choice for our organization to move to Virtuous. We still believe that the product will support our growth as an organization long term, but we are not currently satisfied and hope to be proven right. Based on our experience so far, we would not recommend Virtuous to another organization.

PROS

Virtuous has many intuitive features and is visually appealing for the user. Lists and queries are easy to run without having any background in querying language. I appreciate that Virtuous is frequently rolling out upgrades, bug fixes, and new features.

CONS

The software runs very slowly without explanation on some days, taking nearly a minute to load certain pages or widgets. Reporting has some limitations compared to our last software. Customer support is very hit or miss. Support is initially provided through a chat bot and then answered "usually" within 24 hours by a Virtuous representative. Some reps are knowledgeable and provide helpful links, screenshots, etc, while others don't seem to know how to work the platform themselves. There have been backlogs at times where requests are not answered for 2+ business days, and if you ask a follow up question, you may find yourself waiting again. There seems to be no option for an upgraded customer support package if you have unique or custom requests. The knowledge base is not comprehensive and is sometimes out of date. The migration process was also very rough. We started out with a professional and extremely helpful project manager, but when he transitioned off, it went downhill quickly. The Data Migration Specialist that worked with us did not seem to have experience and although she ultimately did what she could to be helpful, probably putting in many extra hours on our behalf, my sense is that her lack of initial training and lack of diligence in early conversations wasted many hours for both of us.

Reason for choosing Virtuous

They're great at hyping their product up

Reasons for switching to Virtuous

We moved primarily because DP's user interface was so clunky and outdated. It was unnecessarily complex to navigate and difficult for new team members or team members without as much technical experience to learn the platform. With a large team, we wanted something more accessible.

NurturePA and Virtuous

PROS

We are a small nonprofit and our Development Department consists of one person. It was important to us that we found a CRM that could wear many hats and more importantly had automation.

CONS

It did take a long time for me to learn how to use it. However, this is because I am a one-person department who has to divide my time between many different things. It took a lot of practice for me to understand how Virtuous functioned and to get the hang of it.

Reason for choosing Virtuous

We read the ratings, and the comments of other users regarding the customer service. Also, the automation.
