Pros:

Interface is very easy to use. Makes a good resource to use with other products when comparing results especially for finding donations from other non-profits. Listens to customers and adds enhancements according customer suggestions.

Cons:

Adding dates is cumbersome in profiles. Information in profiles should be automatically bleed through to general information, should not have to be re-entered manually.

Pros:

iWave contains all the major databases on one easy to navigate platform. I especially appreciate the ability to bounce between foundation, individual, and corporate searches. The developers are consistently improving the product, adding new powerful features. The user support is top notch and always available, plus they have a catalog of webinars showing you how to use the platform in ever powerful ways.

Cons:

There is nothing I don't like about this software. I feel like we've been benefiting from it ever since acquiring, and we still haven't tapped into its full potential.

Reasons for choosing iWave

For the cost and the level of customer support, iWave contained access to more databases in an easy-to-use way, making it a better value for us.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Dave! We're so glad to hear you've been seeing success with iWave. I have passed along your compliments to our team!

I love the real estate feature that allows you to look at the individual transactions for each property. It allows lists additional properties that person may own so that you can further your research.

Cons:

I have not found the political giving module to be very helpful, as I am always able to find more political giving using other resources. I also do not find the Database USA to provide much useful information

It was relatively easy to use with good tutorials and resources for novice users. The information retrieved was easy to read and understand.It can build several lists and reports quickly.

Cons:

It requires specific details about a donor to retrieve any financial information. If you cannot provide specific details, it will retrieve minimal information.

Pros:

I went through demos for several donor and wealth screening software systems, and iWave's features and usability were above and beyond competitors in the field. The user interface is simple and intuitive and provides me with a great overview of screening projects and profiles. The ability to dive deep and look into sources of data allows me to start the more in-depth research parts of my job.

Cons:

We initially had a API linkup issue, but we were able to solve this with our IT department and iWave's tech team. I honestly haven't experienced many issues with iWave!

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Jennifer. Happy to hear your API issues were resolved!

Cons:

Their alerts are getting better, but could be better. Also, their API is geared only to their screening service and could be much more useful if it was opened up to each database so we can retrieve results via the API.

Ease of use and depth of information. Not only are you able to look up a property record, you are also able to see the property history. Many of the sections allow you see the source. Also really like the 360 degree search feature as a starting place. Very helpful.

Cons:

I can not think of anything I don't like about this product. Perhaps one con would be that the records are not updated from the iWave sources as frequently as I would like, however, that is true for most prospect research products.
