Bloomerang is awesome!
Bloomerang really helped to organize our donor relationships. All of us knew who spoke to whom and the financial background of the donors. We didn't have to have the donor repeat information because everything was logged in the system. We could also put our efforts into those who had a connection to our cause and the financial means to donate more if asked.
PROSI was a part of selecting Bloomerang for a nonprofit I worked for. It was midline for cost and midline for options. That actually met our criteria. We didn't have any experience with donor software so we wanted something intuitive and easy to use. That's Bloomerang. I really liked the donor search because we could evaluate a person's capacity to donate. That helped us to be intentional with our efforts.
CONSI would imagine that the options offered are not as robust as some other platforms however, we never used a donor software before and this was more than we needed. So we felt we could grow with the program.
Reason for choosing Bloomerang
Bloomerang was so much more affordable and intuitive to use. It's not as robust as Blackbaud but it's also not confusing to figure out. It was a very easy switch for us. Blackbaud was very time consuming to set up and costly for features we didn't need.
Reasons for switching to Bloomerang
The spreadsheet was such a pain to maintain. This software makes it easy to keep track of who you need to contact, what conversations have taken place, and any background information we needed on our donors. It also kept track of the donations like our spreadsheet. It was just so much more robust that a simple spreadsheet.

Nice features, but integration with Salesforce was very difficult
Bloomerang makes it possible for us to keep up with our donations and track our communication with donors which is a huge plus. It's easy to run reports and get accurate information to use in writing appeals and impact reports.
PROSOnce we got it set up, Bloomerang is easy to use and makes it easy to keep up with our donations and donors. The Dashboard feature is helpful because it shows our retention rate and new donors immediately.
CONSThe integration process was a nightmare. We had been using Quickbooks and Salesforce. When they were combined we ended up with thousands of duplicate constituents. Bloomerang was not able to filter those effectively for us, and we spent weeks going through thousands and thousands of accounts to clean up our data. We really didn't feel we got the support we needed during the integration process. There are some email features that we wish we had with Bloomerang, like personalizing in the subject line and auto-responder. We've also had times when two different employees will contact customer support and get two different answers to the same question or will get an answer that proves to be incorrect. We haven't been able to do single entries for donations--we still have to enter in Quickbooks and Bloomerang. I feel like there are things we could do with Bloomerang that we're not doing because we don't have a highly technical person on staff to figure it all out.
Reason for choosing Bloomerang
We had heard great reviews of Bloomerang from a variety of sources.
Reasons for switching to Bloomerang
Salesforce was too difficult to use.

Buyer's remorse
Diappointing.
PROSGreat work from the implementation team.
CONSWe have been on Bloomerang for 2 weeks. So far, I have learned that:The Bloomerang interaction dropdown is all donor facing - there's no way to describe interactions with students except "other" - and the menu can't be changed. There's no ability to pre-load brand guidelines (logo, colors, font) that would pre-populate letters & emails For events, there's no way to show sponsors or honorees on an event page. It requires self-hosting - which costs us $$ for web design services. On Kindful events, I can't set up discount tickets - I was told to set up A SEPARATE EVENT for free tickets, which is ridiculous. I can't change the order of ticket types without deleting and re-entering them (this is minor).There's also no way to track non-fundraising event attendance, as for one of our workshops. They can't have a $0 ticket. Even in the Year-End Tax Receipts webinar yesterday, when the presenter pulled up the template for that very letter on Bloomerang, it wasn't set up as he recommended but had to be customized. It seems like nearly everything in this program requires a workaround, and that it really is entirely a donor management program and not set up for constituents.
Reason for choosing Bloomerang
I thought it included both volunteer management capability (it does) with robust constituent support. Not so much.
