CiviCRM vs Site Stacker: Which is a better fit?

Excellent event registration and membership management at a price that can't be equaled. Best of all, it works in and with our client's websites.

It was hard to upgrade if too many releases went by since you were supposed to do one at a time. I almost had a database disaster during one of the updates and lost a couple days to recover the data.

CiviCase brings case management into to application and CiviVolunteer helps you keep track of the eager beavers who want to help your cause.

I have had some trouble using the scheduled mailings feature. Once the mailing didn't go out at all.

I loved how expansive the system was. I liked that I could use it as both a record of donors and donations etc. and as a way to process and track payments/money received.

That said, a person who understands the database can bypass the worst of it -- however, we could do this, and the closest competing product priced itself out of our reach by an excessive import fee.

The community is fairly responsive and keeps an active release cycle as well as an extension community which build meaningful extensions to functionality.

It's built on soon-to-be deprecated software, so investing in its deployment might be a little risky.
