### "Effortless for All Teams"

November 24, 2025

5.0

The training prior to import was extremely helpful, the import was easy, the reporting is so much easier than what we had before (from 1996).

Pros

Ease of use for several employees with completely different roles (finance vs marketing), better mass email platform that what we used prior, upload was easy, customer service was helpful, frequent updates and new features.

Cons

There are occasionally report filters that are unavailable for specific reports, though the overall reporting options are fantastic.

We were using Exceed from 1996. After full-staff turnover, it was determined we needed something more user-friendly than what staff of 30+ years had been using.

### "Responsive Customer Service Makes All the Difference"

November 25, 2025

5.0

I only use Arts People, but I find it easy to use and like to explore and learn more about what it can do for me/our organization.

Pros

The customer service is excellent! When I have a problem or just need to have ticket prices set, they respond promptly. I like that they are always making updates and respond to user requests for new or improved features.

Cons

There are a few features that don't work the way that I want or expect them to work. I do not like the text editor for creating descriptions of shows or for composing emails to patrons,

### "Best Value for the features. "

March 30, 2026

5.0

Have been using it for almost 3 years for a non-profit professional organization as a way to communicate with and coordinate professional membership.

Pros

Value for the dollar, especially for the amount of features offered. I have looked into many CRMs and could not find another to match.

Cons

It has so many features it is hard to keep up with all the options that it has available and they are continually updating.

### "Great CRM option for small to mid-sized non profits"

August 22, 2025

4.0

satifsfied with the platform and glad they continue to invest back into it and the customer experience.

Pros

it is continuously updating and upgrading its systems. They have improved their resource guides and customer service is still excellent-- friendly and attentive. They also have a plethora of resources outside of for non profits.

Cons

I was disappointed when they began charging a fee for use of their live chat feature. They do not have a full events platform that covers the sale of raffle tickets or ability to do an auction or an integration for tap and pay. They have an improved event ticket platform that is great, but is missing this key component. Also, their reporting feature can be burdensome, particularly their donor and donation reports. Building reports can still be painful with manual sorting.

### "A necessary—but imperfect—tool belt for nonprofits"

March 30, 2026

4.0

Pros

is a multi-functional tool that helps our organization organize large amounts of data: donor contacts, event registrants, email subscribers, and more.

Cons

is in a transitional moment between legacy and next generation updates that feels a bit clunky. I wish their product team would have more support in order for updates to roll out faster and with fewer glitches.

August 19, 2025

5.0

Extremely positive. The CRM academy is excellent, so is the capability of the system. We were able to accomplish all of our goals and then some when we invested in this system. We could not be happier.

Pros

has a robust capability, which streamlined our membership management and fundraising. The Neon One academy teaches you everything you need to know and was excellent getting us set up and ready to go.

Cons

The Neon One CRM has a learning curve and is best suited for users with some familiarity with CRM. I had to spend a lot of time initially in the Neon One Academy.

### "One woman-band!"

August 27, 2025

5.0

has been a blessing to our organization. We have been able to maintain and grow our membership. The option to auto-renew was a gamechanger in our reporting numbers.

Pros

could handle donor, member and event management easily. Our organization was using Excel sheets before this implementation. I searched for the best product based on my years of using other CRM's in different jobs and grateful I landed here. We also paid the extra for tech support which was needed because I don't have the time to search knowledge bases for an answer, I need it done now.

Cons

The reporting has so many bells and whistles it's tough to figure out. I struggle with the if/then/= functionalities to get my desired outcome in reports.

We're so glad to hear that the platform, especially features like auto-renew, has been a blessing and a game changer for your team. We understand that the reporting features can be a lot to navigate. The bells and whistles can certainly make it tough to figure out, and we appreciate you pointing out the difficulty with the "if/then/=" functionalities. We know that "Boolean" searching can be a bit hard to wrap your head around, which is why we're exploring user experience optimizations for a more natural language approach. We appreciate your patience as we work to make our reporting more intuitive and user-friendly for everyone.

### "Great Time Saver"

August 13, 2025

5.0

Neon has continued to grow and make enhancements based on user input. I appreciate that we can save money by utilizing one software to handle our donor needs rather than using multiple platforms.

Pros

I enjoy that Neon is moving towards being an all in one software solution for our constituent needs. I appreciate the workflows that enable my team to concentrate on other tasks and ensures a great donor experience.

Cons

The reporting while expansive, is cumbersome. I would rather just be able to grab any and all information that I wish when creating a custom report rather than having to find one that has the information I want and customizing it. I would like to have a sign-in kiosk future for volunteers and for it to print name tags for them that includes their names and role. I would also like to be able to create a recurring volunteer opportunity rather than having to create a new one each time.

Overall, I have had a good experience with . It offers useful features for my role, has good customer service, offers helpful resources, and is continuously coming out with improvements for the platform.

Pros

I like the donor management platform component of the software, which allows me to track pledges, donations, and touchpoint communications with donors and partners.

Cons

Pros

is user-friendly, intuitive, and centralizes all donor and member data. Reporting is powerful, and email campaigns are easy to create and track. Compatibility with our ticketing software saves time and reduces errors. Customer support has been responsive and helpful, and security features give us peace of mind.

Cons

ome reporting features could be more intuitive, and certain customizations take time to set up. Overall, the system is powerful but has a slight learning curve for complex workflows.

### "6 years and it keeps getting better"

July 2, 2025

5.0

Neon is very functional - it serves our needs and continues to be at a friendly cost. We have been using Neon for 6 years and will continue to do so!

Pros

We've been using Neon now for 6 years. Our team appreciates all the integrations both within Neon and to other software (Quickbooks, MailChimp, etc.). The attention given to making improvements to the site - most come from suggestions from users - is fantastic! We've seen Neon come a long way these past years. And 2 of our suggestions have even been worked on!

Cons

Some areas are still a bit outdated/ clunky to work with like almost all of the areas under global settings. And getting some reports to work as wanted can be challenges (SYBUNTY, etc.)

### "We love Neon!"

March 3, 2026

Overall, is user-friendly and straightforward, although complex enough to host all of the different offerings we provide at the museum.

Pros

The features Neon provides allow our Non-Profit museum to thrive. I personally love the ease of access into accounts and class registrations.

Cons

Currently, the only thing I would like to see improve is the volunteer portal. I am making it work for our small scale volunteer program, but automated reminder messages and application approval emails would be incredibly helpful to our organization.

### "Highly Recommend Neon CRM for Small To Medium Nonprofits "

May 27, 2025

5.0

We have been using for one year and our experience has been excellent. Their customer service service and training continues to be exceptional even after we completed onboarding.

Pros

I love Neon's pricing model. They price based on a nonprofit's income, not the number of contacts they have. The onboarding processes was straightforward. Our onboarding consultant was very helpful and walked us through the whole process and was always available to answer questions. This was one of the easiest software onboardings I have ever done. I really appreciate the monthly webinars that go over new system releases. They do extensive training on how to use them so I'm consistently learning new and better ways to use the software. But my all time favorite thing are the reports. So easy to pull and access. I can get all types of information and easily present it to my boss, the board, potential major donors, etc. Our previous CRM had terrible reporting systems and this is the main reason why we switched.

Cons

Their system emails are a little difficult to build and they are not very attractive. More specifically, there are a lot of limitations to what integrated fields are useable. There have been quite a few times when I have wanted to pull in specific data from the client record into an email and I could not. However, I have seen improvements made to their system emails and I expect to continue to see more. They seem to be aware that this is an issue.

Pros

It is good, we appreciate that Neon adds new experiences and systems each year. There are a lot of options, so we can do what we want with fundraising campaigns, volunteer events, or emails.

Pros

I like the easy to use interface and how different parts of the platform talk to each other. We use it for events and for donor database. It is also easy to pull reports for our board.

Cons

Duplicates is always an issue with CRMs, but the merge feature is easy to use on Neon. I just have to do it throughout the year since donors can make their own profiles.

November 24, 2025

4.0

Generally, I like a lot. I appreciate that they have a large team who is constantly working to build the product and sometimes wish they would focus more on UX than creating new features.

Pros

The ease of tracking donor information and FY progress. I appreciate that it, in effect, one large interactive Rolodex.

Cons

I don't always have full confidence that all data is represented in the reports we created. The merge tool seems to miss a number of accounts. It feels that there should be a simpler way for smaller organizations to use it.

### "Streamlined Operations with Room to Expand"

July 1, 2025

5.0

Over the past three years, we’ve gradually expanded our use of —starting with Membership, then adding Volunteers, Events, and more. We've enjoyed the ability to grow with the platform and streamline parts of our data entry and engagement tracking. While there are still features we haven’t fully utilized, we’re excited to integrate more into our workflow. One improvement we’d love to see is the ability to invoice individuals directly through the system. Overall, Neon has helped us become more organized and efficient as we continue to build on what the platform offers.

Pros

We appreciated having our membership, donor, volunteer, and event registration data all in one centralized platform. It streamlined our communication and recordkeeping, made it easier to track engagement across areas, and reduced the need for multiple disconnected systems.

Cons

We love the look and functionality of the new Event format, especially the QR code check-in, but wish it supported multi-day events with customizable time slots. While legacy events offer this flexibility, we prefer the newer format’s interface and features.

### "More than I expected and hoped for"

July 4, 2025

4.0

It was definitely a learning curve and took a while to get up to speed, but now that we've had it for a couple of years, it's great! The best part is that Neon rolls out changes/updates/upgrades every single month. Honestly, converting from a much more expensive and complicated CRM, I didn't expect or hope for much but I have come to really like it.

Pros

I love the endless options for system letters and emails that allows us to customize receipts, thank you letters, pledge reminders etc.

Cons

I wish any and every field was reportable. I find I can't always get exactly the report I'd like to see.

### "User Friendly and Only Slightly Limited"

February 27, 2025

4.0

I work on the development team of a midsize non-profit in New Orleans. We have about 500 donors in our data base and host an annual fundraising event that grosses about 250,000 annually. I manage the CRM, send thank you letters, input gifts, pull reports, and help create donor engagement plans.

Pros

Neon's CRM reporting capacity is pretty easy to use and quick to learn, which makes switching CRM systems fairly simple. I also love their marketing tools. Being able to send out emails, and mail merge and print thank you letters allows me to spend more time on higher level thinking. I also love their workflows. it decreases the amount of time I must spend ideally "checking" for new gifts, overdue pledges, new users adding themselves into the CRM system, ect. The integration with Constant Contact has also allowed us to work closely with the communications team to routinely update list which is very useful.

Cons

It is a bit limited on the reporting front, but does have a number of reports that are built into the system designed to assist with combating these limitations, but with simplicity often comes a number of functionality trade-offs. They also have a number of other features, such as events, grant recording ect. but they do not integrate as well as they could with the financial side of the system. They also do not have an integration with the auction system that my non-profit currently uses. We were told we could conduct a batch transfer that would easily upload gift data in bulk, but we later found out after signing up for Neon that if guest used a different email for the auction or if we did not manually input neon's ID into the spreadsheet guest profiles could be duplicated.

### "The worst software company I've encountered in 25 years"

January 31, 2025

1.0

I never had one positive experience with the company in 14 months.

Pros

That I was able to export some of my data when we walked away.

Cons

(1) The company is dishonest in what it presents. Customer support was taking 5-7 days when we started, they got it down to 2 days but all the answers were ambigious. They sold us 3 slots of custom support and then said it would be 3-4 months before they had availability. (2) They lock you in to an annual contract (3) They log you out out every 2 hours and last month announced you would have to go through 2 factor authentication to get back in, (4) The features do not work well and they are not integrated: They have email marketing, but no way to see on a constituent profile page what subscriptions they chose; they have a store but no way to see who bought a particular product, (4) we paid them to import data, but they would not import years of one-to-one emails we had gathered and provided to their import team. Years of customer interaction by email was lost ... I could go on and on. We pulled the plug after 14 terrible months.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Neon CRM

Our denomination was using Neon. We thought using the same platform would be helpful.

Switched from

[Little Green Light](https://www.capterra.com/p/123954/Little-Green-Light/)

Because we got suckered into thinking their workflows would save time. After 14 months we went back to Little Green Light.

### "New Partnerships and Events Coordinator User Experience"

August 7, 2025

5.0

I am a new user and I am learning I like the support that is available. I can't speak much to most of what I don't know.

Pros

Donor Management, Donor Reporting, Tracking, User Interface and Qaulity of public pages. More step by step tutorials

Cons

It can be a little limited in it's functions and sometimes too tedius to get a task done. Maybe have more flexible reporting
