### "Very easy to use and well put together software! The nonprofit I am part of is sincerely impressed!"

January 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

I enjoy the project management and task feature. Being able to assign tasks to different members within my organization has been extremely beneficial. I also really enjoy having the contacts all in one place with tags to use to our benefit. So simple yet effective!

Cons

I love everything about this software, but the thing I enjoy least is the price. Since I have to choose something!

### "Try out Keela"

July 28, 2018

4.0

Overall, the experience with Keela has been great. They have provided excellent customer service and are quick with feedback.

Pros

It is very easy to use and makes sense. I also like that they integrate with other platforms, like mail chimp.

Cons

We had some issues with getting the PayPal integration to work initially.

### "Keela is something our organization has been looking for to track our donations and more."

January 11, 2018

4.0

Tracking donation records as well as possibly generating tax letters each year. This would be of great help to our mission work and organization. There has been no easy way to keep up with all of this information in other database programs.

Pros

Tracking donations, generating newsletters to supporters, email blasts, thank you's and receipts to donors, and much more

Cons

We are still learning how to create a monthly email blast as well as generate yearly tax letters. Keela is working with us on setting these items up for use in the future.

### "Keela "

August 1, 2018

Pros

I like the ability to tag people and group them according to events they've attended

### "Inputting contact information"

August 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

Very user friendly, with all headings clearly labelled and accessible. For adding contacts, I appreciated being able to create fields that were not originally included.

Cons

I haven't used it enough to have anything to criticize. I found that any issues I had could be looked up through the help icon and from there I was able to get clear instructions on how to solve those issues.

Pros

Simplicity of design, amazing customer service team, always open to suggestions on how to improve the software

UEX could be more seamless navigating between the different panes and tools; contact list could be a bit "smarter"

May 11, 2019

5.0

The best part is the customer service! That’s why I highly recommend this program.

Pros

Once I learned how to use the templates the editing became quick and easy. I also like the look and design.

Cons

Was a little confusing at first to get the campaign out via mass email. Customer service has always been quick to answer my questions.

### "Affordable!"

July 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Affordable software for database management is hard to come by; but we found it in Keela!

Cons

I wish we could customize some of the information a bit more and that you could connect contacts to each other (for example, couples that have the same mailing address but separate emails).
