Almabase - A Great partner in Alumni and Engagement Management!

Almabase has been a great fit for our organization, and they have excellent customer service. From implementation, continuous improvements to the product, and resolving issues, they prove themselves to be a great and responsive technology partner. The culture of this company is evident with interactions between their leaders and the support and success managers we communicate with regularly.

Pros:

The Data inbox is a powerful solution for alumni offices, designed to streamline data verification and ensure accurate, up-to-date information is consistently synchronized with your CRM. With the flexibility to either manually review updates or implement automated syncing, it supports a pathway to full automation as confidence in the workflows grow. The privacy considerations and ability to alumni to communicate with each other really makes this a useful tool. The events module provides a flexible and easy experience for our alumni and participants to register for small and large multi session events.

Cons:

We utilize all the modules of Almabase, but the software could use some tighter integration and development across the platform between the modules. Sometimes this causes you to pause and rethink your processes to get things to work. That said, it is usually manageable.

Reasons for choosing Almabase

Our team felt this aligned better with how our organization from features offered to the potential capabilities along with the interactions with the staff gave us confidence we were choosing the right partner for us.

Pros:

Cons:

It didn't stand out enough as unique or needed to continue the yearly contract. We ended up using our new web platform to incorporate a signup form and keep alumni up to date.

Overall, we are very happy with Almabase and are finding it incredibly useful for our work. It has improved our efficiency and our alumni are overwhelmingly complimentary of the platform.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The integration with RENXT. This is saving us hours of manual staff time organizing and tracking event information. It is nearly seamless. The interface is clear and easy to use, and provides a nice amount of customization. Almabase's customer service team is fantastic - helpful, very responsive, and open to feedback requests. Since adopting the platform just a few months ago, we have already seen one of our main feature requests realized.

Cons:

There are a few small things in the event design that are not aligned with the alumni relations work we do. For example, See Who's Coming lists should be able to be organized by class year. This is a major issue for our constituents.

Best database for alumni!

Overall, I have been very pleased with Almabase. We have yet to fully utilize its capabilities, and I look forward to continuing to learn and expand our presence with our new and improved database. I have been very impressed with their staff and their database of helpful articles and instructions. Highly recommend.

Pros:

Almabase is just what our alumni have been asking for in a database. It enables alumni to update their information, stay in touch with one another, and remain connected to the school. It functions very much like social media, which is what they asked for.

Cons:

There is a learning curve and a time commitment on the front end to set everything up. However, they provided me with step-by-step instructions and were available every time I encountered a snag.

The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it easy for both staff and alumni to navigate. Features like automated event invitations, personalized communication, and the peer-to-peer fundraising module have helped our advancement team work more efficiently.

SVSU review of Almbase

I don't have anything to compare it to, so I would say overall, it is good. Up until now, I have not set the settings so that any new information is automatically being pushed to Raisers Edge. Once I do that for the next appeal, I may find the system is less clunky the way it interfaces with RE.

Pros:

The responsiveness of the staff and my assigned customer service rep,[sensitive content hidden]. He is helpful and instructive. I have also had to use the chat to get help and those folks are responsive and check back in.

Cons:

The final platform look doesn't allow me to create additional "info page" links for things like the individual challenges or incentives, so everything has to be on the main landing page. That makes it very long for mobile devices if I feel I really need to include everything.

User-Friendly Events Module

Overall, Almabase has been a great asset to us. We are still learning, but the platforms that we have used, have been very intuitive and easy to use. When we are tripped up by something, chat support is always incredibly helpful. Our alumni have reported mostly good experiences when using the Events and Giving modules. We feel confident that any issues or feedback that we receive, will be welcomed by Almabase and either fixed or added to the list of potential new features down the road, to best suit our needs.

There are sometimes minor issues that require contacting chat support or our direct Almabase contact. Since they are minor in nature, they can be frustrating - spacing issues, picture sizing, etc.
