Greater Giving Saved Our Auction

My overall experience has been great. It's a learning curve for sure, but worth it.

Functionality

Pros:

Greater Giving has been instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition from in-person auctions to the online way of doing business now. Prior to Covid we had the opportunity to begin using Greater Giving for our in person events and it made such a difference in the management of our auction. The transition to online fundraising was a breeze with Greater Giving. I especially appreciate the amazing customer service whenever I have a question. So very helpful.

Cons:

Sometimes when I "chat" with help I'm referred right to an article to read to figure it out. I admit, that frustrates me a bit, but I get it. I'm a visual person and figuring out this program all on my own, well, as an ED sometimes I just need you to tell me what to do and show me how to do it. Figuring out the website and the scrolling marque has been the most frustrating. I don't like that you can't resize the marquee of donors to make them bigger. It would be a better visual especially when you are trying to brand your event and be consistent with graphics.

Reasons for switching to Greater Giving

We did it on the advisement of our Board, and it was time. Auction! did not have the functionality that Greater Giving had. So, it really was a no brainer.

Glitchy, clumsy, not intuitive

Clumsy, glitchy, counter-intuitive program. I work with computer programs all day long, and this one is just wayyyyy too complicated for what it is. And the webpages look like they’re designed for Netscape 98. Shouldn’t be this hard.

Pros:

It is a platform that collects money. But that’s about all that I can say positively about Greater Giving. Their customer service and technical support is helpful, but I shouldn’t have to call them as often as I do.

Cons:

The page formats are really outdated looking. Customization is limited and glitchy. Reports are hard to understand. Everything seems to take 10 steps, when it could be done in 2.

Vendor Response

We're sorry to hear that our software did not meet your expectations and that you encountered some issues with our platform. We appreciate your suggestions for improvement and will work to address the issues you've raised. We release product updates regularly and making our solutions less complicated and more intuitive is a priority. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team if you'd like to discuss any further concerns or issues.

Greater Giving is A Great Platform

Definitely the best value out there for platforms of this sort. I would refer anyone to use it who works with events and fundraising.

Functionality

Pros:

It is easy to use with solid, quick support when necessary. Very user friendly overall. Great value for the cost! Works better than many more expensive programs. This is the second place I have worked where I have used it and will continue to endorse it going forward.

Cons:

There are some areas where more training is needed or pieces can be added to make the creation of an event or fundraiser more complete or easier.

Reasons for choosing Greater Giving

See above; I was familiar with it from a prior job; it was a much better value plus offered a yearlong subscription not just a few months.

Reasons for switching to Greater Giving

I never used it but even when I tried to first log on, I couldn't access past events and info. The subscription was only for a limited time as well so outside that calendar, there was no access. Very confusing and not intuitive.

Greater Giving Review

This is an amazing software and the more you utilize it the better it is. You can easily just use it on a surface level but the more you use more you will enjoy the software. It does take training and work to input information but once you get a hang of it will help your event run smoothly.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Greater Giving is an excellent software that assists with all of your event planning needs: tracking, invitations, silent auction, etc. If you are hosting a large silent auction this software is the best bang for your buck. The great thing about this sofware is that it also stores all your previous information as far as guest list, attendees, those who have made purchases of from your silent auction and safely stores personal information.

Cons:

One hiccup we have encountered with the software is that it can only be tied to one bank account that we have found. Our organization uses seperate bank accounts for different events and have a few different facets of our organization so different programs need to stay in their own field. This slightly complicates our accounting but the reports for each event make this an easy obsticle to move past.

Not easy to use, but great customer support!

Overall, the company offers a product that can be very useful, but if you have a small fundraising team who doesn't design websites and have a lot of experience with backend website management, it is not the best unless you use it regularly and invest the time into learning it.

Functionality

Pros:

Greater Giving offers affordable options for fundraising event software, and makes it easy for event attendees to register and save their credit card information to make check-in process quicker. Their credit card swiper machines are excellent for check in and to square donations and purchases after the event without making supporters check out at the end of the event.

Cons:

The event software is extremely hard to use, and not intuitive unless you have lots of website experience. For one example, if you add a logo for a sponsor to add to the event landing page, it doesn't say that it has to be specific format. A lot of guessing and calls to customer service. They do have tutorials, but several are outdated, so you waste time watching and realize you need to call customer support anyway.

Reasons for switching to Greater Giving

Greater Giving had the option to save credit cards in advance with registration, but in the end the event registration software was too complicated for our needs.

Very helpful that we can go back to this product each year - our database is maintained. Our employees are trained on the product and able to pick it up quickly or train new volunteers.

Greater Giving - a good system but education, training upfront are key

In general, I like the system, but some things didn't go well for us (e.g., date of fundraiser event was incorrect, even though comms to GG about this were not acted upon, therefore credit card readers did not work - a disaster for check-in.).
