Alumni Engagement and Career Services teams within higher education institutions and K-12/independent schools.
What I like most about this software is how user-friendly it is, the ease of use, it's visually appealing, and easily accessible.
Ongoing problems, month after month, in many areas. Then the response time to get problems resolved is unacceptable and you are stuck in their hands until it works in their schedule.
Report can be customized, but not always as much as we would like. Overall, this is an excellent product for the value and I would recommend it to anyone starting out.
I lost data at least a couple of times trying to look up accounts while entering a Receipt because I wasn't warned that navigating away from the receipt would delete my entry.
I work for a smaller nonprofit and there are great discounts with this software. The platform is easy to navigate through and good customization.
Very Difficult and Complicated, With Poor Tech Support.
Aplos has many good Introductory materials, and does a lot to help you get set up. There is also good customer support, and helpful webinars for when questions do arise.
The lack of social media management and it does not integrate well with some of our fundraising softwarew.
Everything they have promised they have delivered and more. They are incredibly responsive to our suggestions and their customer service is outstanding.
Quite hard to precisely know, which and how notifiactions will be sent, so sometimes you'll have to create a fake account, to actually see it.
I think that the benefits that I outlined in my previous submission best describe the best utilization of this software.
The UK searching fields by location are ridiculous - there are thousands of towns on there listed that I've never heard of - too many to make it of any use.
Ability to connect people themselves through the directory. Events capability and the new groups section are both terrific to use.
It is really frustrating to only have a few components on the homepage that can be edited and customized. It is very busy to look at visually and some features don't apply to us.
Excited to engage with our students and alumni both using the Graduway platform. We are only 3 weeks into the onboarding process and so far so good.
Inability of members to advertise or market their products or services on the platform. Homepage is too crowded.
Don M.: Hi, my name is Don. I'm the pastor in a small-town church. My rating for Aplos would be a four. For more reviews like this, click below. We use Aplos on a day-to-day basis for the financial accounting of the church, but also for membership database and for donations tracking. What I like most about Aplos is that it's easy to use. We were in a situation where, when I arrived at the church, they were still on a paper ledger, had never used a computer at all, had a lot of fear of using a computer. So, when we made that transition, there was some fear, but once they got into it, they found it was easy to use. The only thing I dislike about Aplos is that there's not a hard file backup on our local computers, that it's all cloud-based, which these days is normal, but I'm a little old school. I kind of like to have a hard copy, at least on a drive somewhere of the data.
Whitney R.: Hi, my name is Whitney. I'm an assistant vice president and I gave Graduway five out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. We use Graduway primarily for two things. We run our annual giving day through their platform, and then we utilize their crowd funding solution as well throughout the year. What I like best about Graduway? It's actually a couple of things. One, they offer terrific customer service. Our guy, John, is very accessible, very responsive. And then the platform functions on pretty much any device and any search engine. So when users are looking on their laptop or on their iPad or phone, whatever it is, they're able to have a great experience interacting with our crowdfunding opportunities. There isn't really anything I dislike about Graduway. But one area for improvement I think would be around how you integrate funding that comes in from other sources into the totals that are displayed on the site around the different projects and programs that are being promoted. It's just a little time consuming. It's not a bridge too far, but it might be an area that they can improve upon.
