It's a frustrating system that is missing so much compared to other options.

Pros
It is cloud-based. Unlimited Users. The accounting system seems to work, though I am not an accountant so who knows.
Cons
Donation pages are not customizable or user-friendly. There is no way to track the source of donations (even though the description says donation tracking). If you want to track ROI on your website, ads or communications, you can't.
There's no integration with ANY other software(other than Stripe). They do not verify users by email address, so you constantly have to be on top of duplicate accounts from donations. The ticketing system is barebones and difficult to set up.
There's no custom reporting.
