However, my colleagues are definitely not excited about it because they are overwhelmed with learning how to use it. It definitely just takes some time and usage to get familiar with the product, but I really like it! Their tech help is wonderful as is their leadership team - everyone I communicate from the Maestro team are kind and lovely! Pros We can use it for silent auction and live auctions, as well as for raffles and games and wine sales, etc. Pretty great all-in-one tool! Cons The user interface could be updated and unless you have a good handle on all of its functionality, it can be an overwhelming software to use. I wish the training files were also easier to parse through. Alternatives considered [Greater Giving](https://www.capterra.com/p/127257/Event-Software/) Reasons for choosing MaestroAuction Was familiar with the product and knew that MaestroAuction could also process games, raffles, and other merchandise.

JB Julie B. Assistant Director of Finance and Operations Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Mediocre Maestro" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 November 14, 2025 Webinars are available to help you setup the system. The support personnel are helpful and available night of the event if a problem arises. Pros MaestroAuction allows you to have many available options at your event. Silent Auction, Live auction, Raise the Paddle. Cons The system is clunky and does not have great ease of use compared to new technologies. Donor management and reports are hard to navigate and caused some confusion post event. The system is not an all inclusive system, you have to continue to pay for additional options like text to bid.

NR Nicole R. Office Manager Music ### "Comprehensive program great for non-profit auctions" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 18, 2024 We have had a good experience with MaestroAuction for many years, and the support team has always been incredibly helpful both leading up to and at our event. We plan to continue to use this program for our non-profit's annual fundraiser. Pros MaestroAuction has everything in one program, it makes it easy to track both attendees and donors, and to print reports for catering and the auctioneer and manage the financials all in one spot! I like that you can run through all the available reports on the home page and sort them by category. Cons It can be hard to find the exact report you're looking for sometimes. Especially because the menus are stacked within each other sometimes, for example you need to open the people menu and then open view attendees to get to the assign bidder numbers option.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 5, 2023 I love working with Jay and the team to use MaestroAuction for our annual fundraising event! They are so QUICK to respond and VERY kind, and EASY to work with. It's so nice to know that when you call with questions/assistance, the people on the other line are not annoyed or inpatient with you :) This is a great software to utilize to ensure our auction goes smoothly! But in my opinion, it's the people behind the software that makes it the best! Pros allows our event to be organized for the auctioneer and bidders Cons I'm not sure.. .I think the pages can be a little overwhelming with so many buttons, but I don't know how you fix that.

It is a very straightforward product, which I appreciate. Cons Overall, there is not much to dislike about MaestroAuction. The cost can't be beat, and the customer service is exceptional. Reasons for choosing MaestroAuction We have used GiveSmart and FundDuel in the past and nothing can compare to the ease of MaestroAuction.

Just payment processing that isn’t optimal. Pros Very powerful. Has reports upon reports, for just about anything and everything you can think of. Tax receipts for donations and sponsors. Tracking of where all your money came from. Who has paid and who hasn’t. Things that normally would take ages if you were tracking via a spreadsheet- is done in this program. Just choose your report. Cons The iATS processing. Very convoluted, many steps, and takes too long. Needs to be instant night off, and processed as each transaction transpires. That was what our customers were used to. They asked and starting calling right away about where their charges were. We will be going back to square. The cost is pretty close to the same. No monthly charges with square either. Only when a transaction goes through. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Development Associate Museums and Institutions ### "Easy to Learn and Excellent Support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 15, 2022 Overall, I had a very positive experience with MaestroAuction. As an auction software novice, I found the program to be quite intuitive and accessible. I worried about annoying the Support Team with how much I was calling them, but their insight and advice was invaluable throughout the planning process. The entire MaestroAuction team was always helpful and friendly as well. Pros I found the training videos on the Maestrohelp website to be excellent introductions to the software, and these tutorials helped to familiarize me with the features of the program before I even began entering data. We had a lot of printed materials for our event, and MaestroAuction's ability to generate reports, bid sheets, and thank you letters saved us a ton of time and energy. Entering data before the event was fairly simple and recording the actual bids during the auction was a piece of cake. I think the feature that I found most helpful was the Maestrosoft Support Team. They were always incredibly responsive, and their assistance enabled us to work through a number of concerns and crises. Cons The part that caused us the most stress would probably be payment processing through qCheck, however, most of our struggles with that aspect could be attributed to technical difficulties rather than issues with the software. We also went to the Support Team with these technical difficulties, and their quick thinking and expertise allowed us to overcome the problems we were experiencing, so I don't have many cons to list.

Cons It was built on an old version of Microsoft Access. The website didn't provide great examples or explanations of use. The interface, layout and menu system was clunky and tough to follow.

Pros The software is so easy to use and once you get some training, you’re able to set up your auction site. The support is top notch, the MaestroSoft team really helped us before, during and after our auction. Cons None that I can think of! We used MaestroSoft’s MaestroAuction Online and Text2Bid for our 2021 BVCS Auction & Take Home-Dinner and it was a huge success. We had more sponsors than last year, and we raised over $60,000 for our Impact Fund. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
