SmartSimple Cloud is designed to streamline and automate processes for grants management, research funding, government, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and other complex workflows.
They have a robust reporting and infographics feature that helps you keep up on top of your goals and progress monetarily or with responses to forms/emails.
Our experience was TERRIBLE. The EA team held the org's data hostage, prolonged the process of migration, and made the customer pay for extra months that they didn't need because of EA's delay.
I love the system and couldn’t dream of using anything else. It’s very user friendly and helps our organization collaborate between departments with ease.
We do know we one of the negatives in the selection process was the inability to embed video in outbound emails.
We're excited about the development of automations and would love to see an option to include steps like texting or removing activist codes as well based on meeting search criteria.
Difficult to sort through large volumes of contact in your database.
I like how easily I can get in touch with EA's support. I also like how solid the various tools are - very little bugginess, which is a huge upgrade from what we used before.
In order to do a mass ID and purge, you have to pay an additional fee.
I love the flexibility and expansion capabilities of the software. Love all the workflows and automation to help reduce manual work.
There is often room for error. It can also be difficult to find what I am looking for within the system.
The ability to configure most or all of the features with very minimal code knowledge. The ability to deployment changes under tight timelines due to the ease of the configuration option is great.
Initially, we struggled to learn it all and all of the various uses of the system.
They are dedicated to continue to improve and expand their software based on client feedback and needs, and to provide excellent support coverage.
Configuration can be intimidating since there are so many features available.
The ability to customize the program is one of the greatest assets of the program. It adapts to your business processes in a way that doesn't require you to change existing practices and procedures.
As someone who moved into a system administrator role with no previous experience in a cloud-based system, it took awhile to learn system configurations.
Speaker 1: My name is Aaron. I'm the development director at an organization called Sisu Youth Services. We are a relatively small nonprofit that serves young people experiencing homelessness in Oklahoma City, and I give Bonterra five out of five stars. Before we used Bonterra, we used a combination of spreadsheets and an online fundraising tool called Network for Good. We chose Bonterra because it has a huge suite of tools that were better able to serve our growing organization, and we liked that it was one tool that had everything that we needed from online fundraising to a really powerful CRM, to grants management and moves management for my major donors. Bonterra requires some focus set up, but it was easy and I had support from their staff as well as tons of resources in their resource library and help center that made set up and getting started really easy. For someone else considering Bonterra, I would ask yourself, do you need a single solution that has really powerful data tools? Then I think Bonterra is right for you. If you're an organization that is growing into the grants management space or into major giving, and you need something a little bit more grown up than your organization has been using, then I think Bonterra is for you, and those are my recommendations.
