Dropped Stress Levels
Pros
This program took away so much of the stress that comes with fundraising. It was just so easy to use!
Cons
It was a little more difficult for not tech savvy people but it was also easy to walk them through it.

FundRaiser software review
Pros
Provides small to large nonprofit organizations to automate their daily processes. Offers comprehensive solutions and features for fundraising and more.
Cons
Not always enough flexibility in the design functions, but this has been improving since we first used the product.

Review of FundRaiser
Pros
This platform is relatively easy to use and might be good fit for smaller to mid-size organizations that are budget conscious.
Cons
It covers the basics of tracking donor gifts but has very little of the look, feel and features that most other "newer" database platforms have incorporated. It takes considerable time and efforts to pull data and to enter data other than just basic gift entry. It does not sync with donations pages or other platforms such as Quick Books. No user-friendly interactive dashboards.

Best Software for Non-Profits!!!
Likes Best
This product is one of the most intuitive products on the market for donor management. The team at fundraiser is constantly looking for ways they can improve and at every turn they surprise even me. I have been a customer since the late 90's and I have been through most of their versions. Each time a new version is released we can't wait to see what new tools will be at our disposal.
Likes Least
I know this sounds corny, but I can't complain. The price is very reasonable, the support team is quick to respond to any issues, and the software itself delivers as promised.
Recommendations
Make sure you look into the reports and the ability to customize the data to your needs. The biggest challenge for donor management is knowing who is supporting you and why. If you can answer these questions you are best equipped to respond in letters and and giving campaigns going forward.

Modules are pretty self-explanatory and hosting prices are reasonable. Tech support is helpful when needed.
Likes Least
Certain reports, when exported, are a jumbled mess. I have never been able to use the envelope function after I print a letter, no matter what my IT guys do.
Recommendations
If your organization is on the smaller side and you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles, this software meets almost all of our basic fundraising needs.
