Grant Administrator vs MonkeyPod: Which is a better fit?

I bought this mostly to keep track of grant applications in our small research centre and to keep track of budget virements in post award. It is good for both and I am happy with the purchase.

Sometimes when I go to "reconcile" an expense, I get an error message. Have to shut down the program and reload.

One of the best things about this program is to be able to run different types of reports which is very helpful when trying to project spending trends on grants in order to prepare the RPPR each year.

Does not seem to be able to make any changes on the back end of the product. No enhancements whatsoever.

The staff is very responsive to questions/problems. The program is consistent, reliable and can handle the large number of small grants I oversee (40-50/year).

The support team builds up relationships with customers over time and remembers your needs - very nice compared with the 'call centre' approach.

I feel that they not only listen to our organization's needs, but they really care about helping us to make data-based decisions to more successfully serve our community.

One thing we were worried about was the data migration and the complications of learning a new software.

I like the helpful hints and the quick access to support. I feel important and connected to a company who cares.

The main problem with MonkeyPod is one that we would have with any tool--namely, the reluctance of some of our staff and Board members to take the time to learn a new tool.

The experience has been excellent from the sale through the integration. The entire team has been a joy to work with and are extremely knowledgeable when it come to the needs of nonprofits.

Still having problems with account payable that no one seems to have an answer to and its driving me crazy. If someone can help me, please do, [sensitive content hidden.

I love MonkeyPod and I love the people behind it. It's a smart tool for small organizations and for arts administrators who are artists first and administrators second.

There's a temptation to try to migrate only one system at a time and I think that's ultimately a mistake.
