I have always found Apricot to be a fantastic means of tracking client outcomes and experiences as well as attendance, demographics, goals, referrals and associated contacts relevant to their care plans.

Pros

Client management, data analytics, security, document storage, information access are all areas where Apricot is number one in comparison with competitors.

Cons

When adding a note, or even a document the items are listed in chronological order of the date and time that they were added or edited. Thus, when adding a document that is back-dated, or editing the submission of older entries....the order of the data becomes disorganized.

The overall functionality of Apricot was better suited to the needs of our company and managing services for the clients we serve.

It has been a great experience overall, I recommend to other organizations to use for client updates and documentation.

Pros

I like that bonterra keeps documentation very organized for each of my clients I am able to keep everything on track.

Cons

I don't like that it sometimes logs me out automatically, but it will take me back to my client's folder.

There were a lot of great things about apricot. The ease of use and easy to find what you looking for was the best part of website. The ability to talk to someone to help and troubleshoot was very difficult.

Pros

Easy to find things. When the system was working you could upload documents and sign off on papers easily. The ability to use your phone, ipad, desktop and laptops atvany time was amazing as well.

Cons

Slow. High volume days the program would stall. Usually on the important days there was an almost guarantee that the website would run slow or not at all.

I really enjoyed Apricot I have worked with prior programs like child plus and apricot definitely tops that in my book.

Pros

Apricot is really easy to use and manage. It makes it easier when my job is able to make adjustments to how we manage our clients documents when we say we like one way or if we don't like it they are able to make changes. It is very secure with the password and making sure you change your passwords frequently which ensures client privacy and protection.

Cons

Really no cons I just wish there was an auto save option especially for the notes section and we can't do anything about system updates but sometimes those are inconvenient

I think its a good product with room to grow , like any product. It seems as if the system is made to be built as a base and then customized to the client. With that there could be more feature options for even better work flow.

Pros

The interface is user friendly and customizable to the organization. It does well to ensure how one log's in and closes other sessions to ensure ease of use. It has a good system on how to send an IT ticket when there are bugs and it is good at letting users know when updates or fixes are being performed. The client management allows to build documents in a manner that flows well and offer great data as far as when updates and files were managed.

Cons

That code is not as intuitive as it could. For example when information may be listed more than once it should allow for a prompt to ask 'are you updated this for XX document too.' It could also send out 'outage' reports to all users rather than just a lead source to help eliminate excessive reporting. Again a code could identify a series of reports a text box could pop up asking if the user would like to continue with the report as it has already been reported xx times by others. Overall, the intuitive nature could be better. With not knowing if this is inhibited by the customizable features but it would be helpful for greater flow working within the system . Also, an app! Two factor could be applied , this would just be very helpful for those that use the system on the go. And maybe a scan to client for archive featuring, for this company in particular they have a lot of hard copy files that would be best served having a digital copy as well for easier reference.

Overall the product is great, I just wish there was a way to pick up the phone and call instead of having to use the online ticketing system.

Pros

It is user friendly and helps to speed up and capture the data in a way that works great for the agency.

Cons

My only issue is on the billing side, the ticketing system doesn't always work great because I normally need to speak with a person and that seems like it takes an act of congress to get someone on the phone.

I have been using Bonterra Apricot for about 18 months. I have found it to be one of the best systems for the type of industry.

Pros

I love that Bonterra Apricot is interactive between all staff. It is accurate, and very easy to operate and manage.

Cons

The only thing I dislike is having to change my password. I understand why, but there isn’t anything else I dislike about Bonterra Apricot.

I DESPISE THEM WITH ALL MY BEING. The exploitation of nonprofit services at the horrifyingly exorbitant prices is unconsciounable. The nonprofit sector is struggling already. Bonterra is just around to bayonet the wounded and make sure the support resources and software are out of reach costwise. HATE THEM.

Pros

I really used to like the customizable features of Apricot. I literally like nothing about Bonterra. They are predatory and buy up systems important to nonprofits and then jack the prices up.

Cons

The price!! Bonterra has bought up a LOT of nonprofit support systems and software and has JACKED UP the price on everything while at the same time reducing support and customization features until the products are not worth the hassle.

10/10. The Bonterra Apricot System is always positive and I will continue to make efforts to persuade my organization to fully transition to it, rather than using it for select programs.

Pros

It's a very accurate, and fairly comprehensive data system. There are never any errors in data, and the possibilities of its usage feel endless. Nothing our organization needs to track never feels impossible to create in the Bonterra Apricot system.

Cons

Some lengthy wait times between saving records before transitioning to the next page. Other than this minimal interference, there are no present issues I have.
