The capacity of this software improves about every 2 weeks when they release a new update to the system. It's grown exponentially since we started using it about 2 years ago. They now provide amazing resources: training video tutorials, webinars, a Facebook group page to network with other users, etc. They just keep upgrading the system and adding new features so regularly, I truly believe Giveffect can literally do anything you need it to. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. The only downside for us is the price. Honestly the price is a great value for what you get, it's just a little high for smaller non-profits...but you can literally do everything you need to. > > Before Giveffect, we were using BlackBaud Raiser's Edge, and no one in our office could use it well. Just to learn how to use it, our employees had to pay a large fee and go to a week long training seminar. It was not convenient, and that knowledge was lost as employees turned over. I managed to figure out how to use it myself, but wasted a lot of time. Training others on my team was next to impossible. During the initial demo, we could tell that Giveffect was leaps and bounds ahead of Raiser's Edge. With Giveffect, the software itself is very intuitive, and the provided free training video tutorials and webinars are really helpful. Even before those resources were available, it was so easy for me to just start using the system. I've since been able to set up my entire team using the system, and they've had few to no difficulties learning to use it. Our focus is now on building better relationships with our donors rather than fighting with a system to enter gift information. Giveffect has been absolutely wonderful for our team. ----- ### "Giveffect.com Review" — 5.0/5 > **Kris** | *March 3, 2017* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Giveffect has consolidated our process for us and eliminated the need to use multiple platforms. The time savings for our staff has been huge\! Also, the ongoing training opportunities, customer support and ever evolving aspects have been incredibly helpful and have allowed us to make our processes even more efficient. The software is also very intuitive and easy to use/understand. In addition, the team at Giveffect actually listens and evolves the software based on the growing needs of users and the clients we serve. > > **Cons**: I have yet to have a negative thought about Giveffect. > > "By switching to Giveffect we have eliminated having to use multiple platforms to function. Everything was separate for us before and we basically were spending a ton of time moving between software, platforms and systems that didn't communicate well together and/or did not allow us present the look and feel of our agency. With Giveffect we can easily accomplish all of our tasks from one platform AND on the front end of things it integrates seamlessly with our own website\! From the get go, Giveffect's customer service has been top notch - they've had an answer for every question we've had and their team is readily available whether it is through their online "Chat with Us" feature, via phone or via email. They also do an amazing job of listening to feedback and the needs of their clients then turning around and implementing updates which allows them to offer all of us a continually evolving solution. I can't even begin to explain the amount of time we now have available each day to focus our energies on the important stuff - the kids in our program and our mission. Highly recommended\!" ----- ### "Giveffect System Review" — 3.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *June 22, 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support and staff are very responsive and knowledge. Overall a user friendly system with a usable dashboard. > > **Cons**: My only concern is using Spark Post for emails, it is not the best system and we did not know about daily email count limits- but this is a product add on. The search feature does not give a return unless there is an exact match in your CRM. The auction feature also has additional costs for 'text to bid' and that is the only way for guests to participate. ----- ### "Giveffect makes impact" — 4.0/5 > **Pam** | *July 27, 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Besides the user-friendly system, I really appreciate how they "listen" to the needs of the customers and then in a month or two they've actually addressed it and made an adjustment or tweak in the system. This system puts donor database needs with your volunteer management needs along with public relations. Plus the fact it's web-based makes it easy to access at any time. > > **Cons**: For our affiliate this was a huge investment compared to what we'd spent in the past.....but now it's lined with others, just the fact - something good isn't going to be "cheap". And again like I said they're always working to improve. We love it here. > > Great relationship. Quick to respond if needed. Good to work with. Provide great videos regularly for training. ----- ### "Great support, good features, fine functionality" — 4.0/5 > **Joe** | *February 12, 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s been great to experience Giveffect’s growth over the past few years. The software is user friendly, versatile, and always improving. The best part of working with Giveffect is the support staff, especially in the help chat. Their willingness to help and their responsiveness to feedback are beyond what you would experience in another CRM. I feel that my input on how I use the software and what I would like to see improved is not only heard, but considered valuable by the Giveffect team when working on updates. > > **Cons**: The biggest problems are not with features but with functionality. Because the software aims to do so many different things, we often find that some of the more basic features are glitchy or not well-executed. We also had problems in the past where, after bringing some of these issues to their attention repeatedly, they were never addressed - though that has improved. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/112919/giveffect?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/112919/giveffect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
