Comprehensive Legislative Tracker

PROS

This is a great tool that has made tracking bills across the country easy. It also has great collaboration tools for sharing updates and communicating within our team.

CONS

Some aspects of the software can be difficult to figure out - for example, setting up search terms for alerts. Once it's set up, though, it's easy to use.

Great "Government Relations Management" Solution

My overall experience has been fantastic, and we're happy to have renewed.

PROS

The overall "Government Relations Management" capabilities of FiscalNote elevate it leaps and bounds above the competition. Being able to easily track my actions of those and my team means that we can see when contacts have been made with an office and easily work together in an industry where we're not always in the same physical location.

CONS

I would love to be able to attach documents to individual actions. For example, being able to attach a support letter to an action of having sent that support letter.

Vendor Response

We love hearing from our customers, and appreciate the suggestion to improve the document management capabilities. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your Account Manager or our support team if there is anything we can do to improve your experience. -The FiscalNote Team

Nothing Special but Gets the Job Done

For the money, we were generally happy with FiscalNote software. It was a cheap option that served our purposes, though not to its full potential. We've since switched to a different software that, while more expensive, has offered a much higher rate of conversion and a higher ROI.

PROS

FiscalNote was great at allowing our organization to keep track of all of our grassroots advocates. They offered a top of options to help track/sort that I have not seen from other companies, and allows the admins of the software to run various reports on their own without having to contact their account representative.

CONS

The design of email messages from this software was super bland, as were the standing pages it allowed you to create. Drafting a message was difficult, and they didn't even look good when sent. Plus, nothing was mobile optimized so we got complaints from our younger advocates about ease of use. Generally, it seemed the whole process was more difficult than it needed to be.

Reason for choosing FiscalNote

The organization had a contract with FiscalNote when I was hired. After the contract expired we switched to a different company.

Review of FiscalNote

Really great software. Keeps us in the know with changes in the regulatory landscape. Love getting alerts and love the visual aspects (maps)

PROS

- Ongoing alerts - Maps/visually appealing - User friendly - Direct source to bill - Custom reports - Ability to share summary page with individuals who are not a user - Discovery alerts pick up on good/relevant material - Like the option to add own bill summary

CONS

- Hard to search enacted bills over a longer period of time - Wish there was a way to "star" or "flag" a bill as high important so that when updated bill alerts come through, it is clear which ones I should tune in to first

Reason for choosing FiscalNote

Was not involved in the decision making process

CONS

There is nothing i do not like about this proigram.
