Continuous development toward more user friendly features. Online features. Ease of building reports and reporting capabilities Cons The pricing. Use of more complex reporting systems to better filter or analyze data. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Service Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/136189/Salesforce/)[Tableau](https://www.capterra.com/p/208764/Tableau/) Reason for choosing Bonterra Apricot Pricing. Established use by partners. Switched from [Bonterra ETO](https://www.capterra.com/p/77278/Bonterra-ETO/) More user friendly and customizable Review Source AG Aaron G. Intake specialist Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hey it's all good" February 14, 2025 5.0 Pretty good, other than some issues in the afternoon when many people are using it. Pros I like the ease of the system, from the first day to today it has been intuitive. Cons Sometimes it loads slowly in the afternoon Switched from [MainEvent](https://www.capterra.com/p/250046/MainEvent/) our group of buisness statewide switched over Review Source SD Shirlee D. DOO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AVOID BONTERRA WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!" June 18, 2025 1.0 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. Review Source Response from Bonterra June 20, 2025 Hi Shirlee, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear how frustrated you feel.

Executive Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "great product, wished there would've been more guidance" February 14, 2025 4.0 Pros The flexibility of the different product within it and how they work together is helpful. Cons It was a difficult product to set up with little guidance. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Bonterra Apricot Bloomerang did not offer everything that this did. Review Source HS Heather S. Office and Communications Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Always there to help" February 18, 2025 4.0 I have had very positive interactions with Bonterra Case Management. Pros I have had a timely response to every query. Cons I do wish there was a chat feature right on the site. Sometimes I need a question answered quicker than an email exchange allows. Switched from [Action Network](https://www.capterra.com/p/235419/Action-Network/) Not sure, decision was made before I was hired, but I have found Action Network difficult to navigate. Review Source VP Vanessa P. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Horrible Platform" October 16, 2024 1.0 I have been having issues with this system since we began using it in 2021. We never got to a place where we could fully function on our own. It always required the use of their staff. Every time I would reach out to the company for issues, their solution was always us having to pay for an upgrade or more training. I have done the upgrades and the additional training and paid for it, yet we still are not able to operate the system effectively. The system is NOT user friendly and customer service is horrific. Their version of customer services is to up sale us into something else that we don't need. I want to cancel my subscription to this platform before the end of the contracted date but they lock you into a long contract and continue to take your money without proper support. I believe you they provided false advertisement and quite frankly do not value the customer. I have tried multiple times to cancel and get support from \[sensitive content hidden\] who said she has sent this information to her higher ups, but to date I have not heard from any managers or supervisors. They should be embarrassed at the type of service you provide to people. Pros N/a. We couldn't get it to function for us the way we needed it to. Not user friendly. Cons The system is not customizable or user friendly. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Bonterra Apricot Seemed like a better option. Now I am trying to cancel and go back to Salesforce conversations. Switched from [Claritysoft CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/123868/Claritysoft-CRM/) Needed something more sophisticated. Review Source Response from Bonterra November 20, 2024 Hi Vanessa, thank you for your candid feedback. I sincerely apologize that we've fallen short of providing the customization and support you need. We take your concerns about usability, training costs, and contract issues very seriously. Please email diana.may@bonterratech.com so our director of customer success can personally discuss your situation and find solutions that work for your organization. Your mission is too important for these challenges to continue. We're committed to making this right and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. VR Verified Reviewer Family support and resource specialist Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better with Apricot" August 13, 2025 4.0 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 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Registered Nurse Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Apricot Review" August 8, 2025 4.0 Pros Easily efficient to use been using this system at work for about 4 years now. It was a system that was not personally difficult for me to get use to using daily. Cons Very slow with loading and set up by filters of accessbility to see information with having a high caseload Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CFO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review from Finance perspective" August 8, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source JF Jennifer F. Case Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recommend for Client Documentation" September 2, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source GH Gregory H. IT and Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This is a great database that is well worth the price" August 27, 2024 5.0 Overall my experience has been great. The training I had before we launched our database was great and the continued support is very helpful. Pros The ability to customize just about any field and report without having to ask or pay Bonterra to do it for me. Cons There are a few fields that I am unable to delete and require me to speak with a Bonterra employee if I want to remove them. These are fields in prebuilt forms. Switched from [ASI-ware](https://www.capterra.com/p/143561/ClientTrax/) Whenever we needed to make a change to the database, we needed to go through ASI-ware, wait for a quote, if the quote was within our budget, then we'd approve, then we needed to wait for production to finish, then test it, then finalize the change. It was a lot of time and money to customize forms and reports. Review Source NS Nick S. Mobile Response Team Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bonterra Case Management: A quick glance" August 12, 2024 5.0 Overall it has been great. We have been able to cut down our human error from going paper/spreadsheets to this solution with the tracking and reporting. It has also drastically reduced the amount of time to type up reports for our grants. Prior we would be looking at 6-8 hours per report. With Bonterra Case Management, we can now run the reports and have all the information ready in a few minutes and have the entire report done in 1 to 2 hours. Pros On the front end, the ability for our team to collaborate with each other regardless of who was the case manager. On the back end, the ability to create what we needed how we need it. Building our own forms and workflows that work for us rather than a cookie cutter solution that we would have to work around and change our process to fit the product. Cons The inability for the calendar within Bonterra Case Management to sync with our calendars. We are a GSuite organization and would love that when we put a next appointment for a client within Bonterra Case Management, the ability for that to automatically be put on our calendars as well. Alternatives considered [monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Bonterra Apricot The ease of use, robust system, that what out of the box looked daunting, has the support implementation team and customer care team to make it successful for each organization. We were able to take best practices with our own spin to make sure it worked for us rather than the wild west and not sure where or how to make the other options our own. Review Source EM Eric M. Social worker Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful platform for use with TKF on grants. " August 27, 2024 5.0 It's been very good. I really like the program over the former platform that TKF was using. Pros Its very user friendly. I did not even need a step by step to figure out the user interface. Cons I wish there was an option for the users to add clinics. Switched from [Apricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/152918/Apricot/) Was not my call but I'm glad TKF made this switch for us. Review Source Response from Bonterra September 12, 2024 Eric, we're thrilled you've found Bonterra so user-friendly for your grant work with TKF! Your suggestion about adding clinics is valuable - we're always looking for ways to make our platform more flexible for dedicated professionals like you.

" November 27, 2024 4.0 Going from word documents to case management software made a huge difference. It saves so much time, having all the information available in a locialize spot is so nice! Pros I do like having all the information in one spot. I am able to see how my case managers are supporting their clients. Cons I wish we had an option to view all the information in chronological order. I do like the current view, but it would be nice to have an option to view all documents in the order that they were entered. Review Source RW Ramik W.
