One-stop shop for our Alumni Association needs!

Pros:

We like that the Almabase platform is our website, directory, events platform, fundraising platform, and email service all in the same place. This make it very easy for us to track our alumni and their engagement. We really appreciate that alumni can go into their user profile and update their own information. Tracking emails and fundraising on the same platform helps as well. I do like how they are always looking to improve their platform and take our feedback seriously.

Cons:

As with any platform there are things that can be improved. Right now you can track donations and emails receipts but it would be nice to have them eventually track who reads our posts and what pages they are interacting with. That would be a nice feature that would allow us to fully track users. It would also be nice if the platform supported ACH payments.

Reasons for choosing Almabase

Almabase has transformed how our institution manages alumni relations by providing a centralized platform for engagement, fundraising, and communication. Despite some technical limitations and a steep learning curve, the ROI has been substantial. Our team has seen measurable improvements in alumni participation rates and donation amounts since implementation. The platform continues to evolve with regular updates that address user feedback.

Almabase has been a great fit for us

Overall, we've had a great experience with Almabase and look forward to continue growing our use of the product over time.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about Almabase is that the platform connects well with our main CRM software, Raiser's Edge, and also provides an easy frontward-facing user experience when registering for events. The personalized onboarding experience we had with our reps at Almabase was also immensely useful and we now have a very useful ongoing relationship with our rep who continues to be an active resource for us.

Cons:

Onboarding and implementing any new software involves a learning curve and I would say there is a significant learning curve with this software. However, the onboarding process with Almabase made learning the software much easier than it would have been without personalized assistance and we've greatly appreciated this approach at the company. Once you learn how to fully use the software, it is an immensely helpful product to fully integrate into your operations.

Reasons for choosing Almabase

GiveCampus's product had less features than Almabase and we think the longterm trajectory of our program aligns better with the many products that Almabase offers.

Reasons for switching to Almabase

We needed a more modern and easy-to-use full service event software. We had previously used Blackbaud's online express for event registrations and weren't impressed by RE NXT's newer event forms. We see a better longterm fit for our organization with Almabase's event software both from an internal viewpoint and an external user experience.

Incredible software, incredible support

My university is located in Texas. Almabase's trainers and support are based in India. Despite the distance, they have made us feel like one team. The step by step training (thank you, [sensitive content hidden] The support (too many to name), the overall experience has been great.

Pros:

We moved to Almabase on a recommendation (that their giving and event software is excellent at data capture and looks great), and while that has been true, the quality of the training and support has actually been what we love the most.

Cons:

I have a small list of features I'd like to see, but honestly, even listing them would be a stretch. For everything we couldn't get there are five features that didn't exist, we mentioned, and then the team implemented them.

Reasons for choosing Almabase

Newer, better, with data capture capability that's second to none.

Reasons for switching to Almabase

Blackbaud recommended Almabase over their own product (Blackbaud NetCommunity) for their user experience and data capture capabilities.

Pros:

They offer a user-friendly interface (both externally and internally) combined with a lot of features. They are very responsive to our recommendations for improvement and when we need support.

Cons:

The platform doesn't allow for as much flexibility as we'd like regarding class years - this is an issue for attendees and alumni with multiple degrees from Southern. And we do wish that the navigation was at the top of every single page. They are working to find ways to improve these areas.

Reasons for choosing Almabase

This was the only one that offered the structure we needed for multiple event registration within a single large event, while still provided the other tools and resources we were looking for.

Reasons for switching to Almabase

We were actually using Blackbaud's NetCommunity, but it's so old you don't have it listed here to select. It was no longer supported and very outdated.

How much of an open line of communication there is. Almabase takes "criticism" extremely well. They use it to fuel their next big changes. Most companies would not actually take the time to research as often as Almabase does off their clients feedback.

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.
