Great product and great support

This tool has been especially helpful with the COVID crisis and really helping us to stay on top of our donor goals and how we have needed to make adjustments and pursue different income channels.

PROS

Dot Drives have been very helpful in getting our development team all on the same page and now the project management features are helping our department keep track of the many steps in our process.

CONS

We have been using this product from the start so there have been small issues here and there, but the Dot team is always quick to make adjustments.

Vendor Response

Hi Kendall, thanks for the review! We love receiving and responding to feedback from users. Most of the features in Dot Drives at one point were user feedback; so keep it coming! Thanks for doing what you do! Cheers,

Dot Drives donor pipline

The oversall experience with Dot Drives has been excellent. It's a relatively new product that continues to improve. The customer service and user training are top-notch.

PROS

Dot Drives is a great new tool that allows our organization to easily see what donor proposals are in our pipeline. It was easy to upload contacts to the database and get started with the application. We now use it to lead our donor development team discussions. We like the ease of which we can move donor prospects through the moves management process.

CONS

There have been just a few small suggestions we've made to the application development team, but nothing major. The developers have been open to our suggestions and this very good product just continues to get better.

Reason for choosing Dot Drives

We use DonorPerfect as our CRM, but its moves management tool is not user-friendly. We love the simplicity and ease of Dot Drives. We can readily see and review the donor prospects that are in our pipeline and discuss them as a team.

Vendor Response

Hi Greg, thanks for the review! We're thrilled to be able to support you and your team through Dot Drives. You've sent over some awesome feedback! Cheers,

Great potential

Pretty good experience and looking forward to new improvements

PROS

Appreciate the pipeline feature that makes it easy to track what I'm asking my constituents and who has followed up.

CONS

A little clunky saving reminders and adding new donors

Vendor Response

Hi Emily, thanks for the review! Thank you for the feedback regarding our reminder saving workflow. If you'd like to add more context we'd love to hear how we can improve! Thanks for the feedback, and for doing what you do! Cheers,

Helping in the simplest way!

Dot Drives has been fantastic! Any time I had questions about the software my questions have been answered within the same day! This is a company that is passionate about helping organizations grow and succeed. I highly recommend this software to anyone looking to be competitive in their market with a desire to grow and develop!

PROS

This software system is easy to use, functional and motivates me to continue to adding potential Givers to my pipeline. It is user friendly and makes my daily tasks simple and organized! My favorite part of the software is the customization feature. I am able customize my specific pipeline process which helps me be more efficient and effective in my role. I truly have enjoyed using this software and I am excited to see how my Pipelines continue to grow overtime!

CONS

I think it would be helpful to see the documents associated with each giver instead of having to download them each time you want to see the attached document. I upload documents frequently and having a preview section of the document would show me if I need to update the document. However, this is mynute.

Vendor Response

Hi Alexa, thanks for the review! I'm very glad that you've enjoyed using Dot Drives. I've noted your feedback regarding a document preview feature, that's a great idea! I'll put it in front of our design and development teams. Have a great week! Cheers,

DOT bridged a gap in major gift fundraising!

The product is easy to use. The price is really great. The customer service is fantastic! We are beyond pleased with DOT and will continue to recommend!

PROS

As nonprofit fundraising coaches and fundraisers we’ve worked with a variety of donor databases and CRM’s. There are many wonderful products in the market, however, many of them do not offer the pipeline feature that DOT provides. We’ve found the pipeline to be super helpful to track and manage major gift proposals and relationships. We’ve enjoyed and benefited from adding DOT as a tool for several clients for the purpose of major gift development. DOT is great as a stand alone donor management system or as a tool that compliments your current system. The simple customizable options allow you to integrate the pipeline process in a way that makes the most sense for your organizational development needs. DOT has really helped us streamline our major gifts pipeline. Also, say goodbye to spreadsheets for grant research! You can track prospective grant makers easily with DOT. We are fans!!!

CONS

That it wasn’t around sooner! Honestly, we’ve experienced zero issues. If we have a question the team is very fast to respond.

Vendor Response

Hi Emily, thanks for the review! Thank you for the kind words. We're very happy to be able to serve you and your teams! Have a great day!
