However the company is tone deaf as it relates to exiting the platform. our contract called for one years service of their voter voice platform - it's stated on our payment - they have since harassed our company to continue using a service we have no need for. Pros Voter Voice software was adequate for our needs. Cons Voter Voice software was adequate for our needs.

Sara Y. Operations Associate Non-Profit Organization Management ### "FiscalNote is a must-have " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 28, 2022 FiscalNote is a necessary tool for any organization that does business with other advocacy organizations. It's easy to use and navigate which makes it an ideal tool for drafting up donor proposals and research reports. With this software, I know that I can do my job without working overtime. Pros I appreciate FiscalNote's detailed government database, especially its tracking and monitoring systems. The fact that FN integrates with other advocacy tools such as CQ Roll Call and Voter Voice makes it all the better for the policy, research, and government affairs department. With FiscalNote, we can now spent more time on other projects instead of just collecting information all day. Cons It's so expensive but well worth the price if you company can afford it. I hope that FiscalNote can offer additional functions to its users in the near future. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros We have used this program for over 15 years, very user friendly and love the support staff - they are very responsive, smart and patient! Cons The ease of the newsletter template, the anchor feature is difficult to use and wish it was included as an option for information broadcast Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Advocacy Manager Education Management ### "Nothing Special but Gets the Job Done" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 October 15, 2019 For the money, we were generally happy with FiscalNote software. It was a cheap option that served our purposes, though not to its full potential. We've since switched to a different software that, while more expensive, has offered a much higher rate of conversion and a higher ROI. Pros FiscalNote was great at allowing our organization to keep track of all of our grassroots advocates. They offered a top of options to help track/sort that I have not seen from other companies, and allows the admins of the software to run various reports on their own without having to contact their account representative. Cons The design of email messages from this software was super bland, as were the standing pages it allowed you to create. Drafting a message was difficult, and they didn't even look good when sent. Plus, nothing was mobile optimized so we got complaints from our younger advocates about ease of use. Generally, it seemed the whole process was more difficult than it needed to be. Reasons for choosing FiscalNote The organization had a contract with FiscalNote when I was hired. After the contract expired we switched to a different company.

KW kevin w. govt affairs Machinery ### "good, versatile, scalable product" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 27, 2019 This product has helped keep track of activity that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. Pros It can be customized to suit lots of needs in public policy - US or international, even states. Very functional by providing useful, actionable information. Cons Some features seem to wait for client input before they get developed. While the team is responsive, it would be good if some of the client needs for the software were more anticipated.

Manager, Government Affairs Hospital & Health Care ### "Powerful Product and Lot's of Potential" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 27, 2019 FiscalNote allows us to have one location for all of our government affairs data to exist. Pros FiscalNote is simple to use and provides me a good method of keeping track of my legislative outreach. The ability to group our legislative tracking by issues allows us to line up legislation with our policy agenda nicely and allows us to better visualize how the legislation aligns with the agenda. Cons I don't like that FiscalNote has been on a buying spree lately but is not working to integrate their different properties like VoterVoice and CQ into the broader FiscalNote platform. Inability to export contacts is frustrating. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros It is easy to collaborate with coworkers, and to build out large lists from alerts. Very little has slipped through the cracks. Cons The report generator is clunky, and does not allow for much customization. The feature that builds out mailing lists should allow more customization, and ease of use.

Sr Manager, Corporate Compliance Hospital & Health Care ### "Review of FiscalNote" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 21, 2019 Really great software. Keeps us in the know with changes in the regulatory landscape. Love getting alerts and love the visual aspects (maps) Pros \- Ongoing alerts - Maps/visually appealing - User friendly - Direct source to bill - Custom reports - Ability to share summary page with individuals who are not a user - Discovery alerts pick up on good/relevant material - Like the option to add own bill summary Cons \- Hard to search enacted bills over a longer period of time - Wish there was a way to "star" or "flag" a bill as high important so that when updated bill alerts come through, it is clear which ones I should tune in to first Reasons for choosing FiscalNote Was not involved in the decision making process Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
