Their customer service is great! However, our organization is just too big and complex and I don't feel like it handles our needs very well. Pros Abila FR50 is incredibly easy to use and learn. Cons Abila FR50 does not have an audit trail other than you can tell who made a change to a record. You can not see what change was made. It would be an ideal program for a small organization with not a lot of complex needs. Review Source SK Stephanie K. Admin Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" January 30, 2020 4.0 The problems it has resolve is having all our donors in one place and how it keeps graph charts for us. Pros I love that we can can keep track of all our donors in one place and that it keeps track of the money coming in. Cons I don't like how it limits you on how many people have access to getting on it and only one person at a time can be on. Review Source DR Daniele R. Development Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Functional but No Flash" June 8, 2017 3.0 This is the first system I ever used so I thought it was terrible when I started. Now I've used CiviCRM and I long for the days when I had Fundraising 50. Pros If you need a basic CRM, this system is great. It has a dashboard that lets you know where you are with your fundraising goals without having to run a report. There are great trainings to learn how to use it. You can customize quite a bit. Cons There are no bells and whistles. It's very basic. It would work best for an organization that can input every donation received individually, because it can't pull donation information directly from the donation page.

December 6, 2017 4.0 Pros The thing that I like most about this software is the fact that you can keep lots of information on donors and use that information to do searches. Cons The thing that I like least about this software is the fact that it is not easy to use. While you can document lots of information about donors, the way to find it is seldom logical.

Donor Relations Specialist Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila Fundraising 50 (Sage) Review" September 14, 2020 5.0 Pros Data entry and system of segmenting data was pretty intuitive Cons Ease of reporting wasn't as easy as other softwares. Review Source AG Allison G. Development coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good fundraising software but limited integrations and ease of use" February 14, 2019 3.0 Pros It is a powerful platform for fundraising activities, tracking donor history, memberships, and contacts. It is able to perform all of the basic tasks our organization needs, even if they are not always the most efficient processes. Cons It is not particularly user friendly. Does not integrate with systems for accepting online payments, accounting, email marketing, or event registration, which creates a lot of redundancy and inefficiency. Review Source JV Justine V. Project Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila Fundraising 50 Review" February 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Is able to integrate with other software available to fundraisers and essential for donor management. Cons Is known for running very slow. There are sometimes long wait times for customer service or a lack of understanding of what's being said. Review Source mW melissa W. Marketing and outreach manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not a user friendly system." August 10, 2017 2.0 Cons The reports are complicated. I can't trust that report pulls all necessary data. There are No help resources. Review Source AC Alyssa C. Executive Administrative Assistant Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overqll great" October 20, 2017 5.0 Pros Ease of the product Endless capabilities Takes care of all my needs as a small business couldn't ask for a better Cons Sometimes runs really slowly. Long wait times for customer service calls. Person on phone doesn't always understand my problem.3 Review Source NB Nicole B. Development Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila FR50 - inexpensive and functional" August 10, 2017 4.0 Pros Abila FR50 is an inexpensive option for your CRM needs - it has all the necessary functionalities and good chat support Cons Abila FR50 doesn't have some of the capabilities of other more expensive products, and can feel clunky at times in its usability Review Source LS Lisa S. Administrative Assistant Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Get's the job done but not user friendly" October 12, 2017 3.0 Pros Abila is a solid database it's able to store lots of information about constituents. It's easy to look up this information. Cons The text on the screen is small and there's no way to change the size. Reporting is very complex and the results are not always the way you need/want them. Review Source SF Susan F. Development Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Abila" January 10, 2017 2.0 Having used several database programs over the past 19 years, I find Abila (was Sage) 50 to be difficult, non-intuitive and definitely not user-friendly. It is a struggle to pull information into a report, and if there is one small mistake, the program does not indicate what the specific problem is so you have to go back and rewrite the whole thing until you get it right. In other programs, you can change an item, then just hit run without having to rewrite it again. I also don't care for using color dots to categorize certain data. Cons See above. Review Source BG Beverly G. Used the software for: ### "" November 7, 2011 4.5 As a nonprofit publisher, we currently have over 80,000 constituents in our database. Prior to Sage Fundraising 50, we used KMAi (now MPower). We decided to leave KMAi because we could not create reports easily or export our data. Extracting information from KMAi was not easy, but we were able to extract the data we felt was critical to our organization with the help of ProSoft Solutions. Implementation was relatively smooth; much of the difficulties involved data extraction rather than importing into Sage Fundraising 50. Our staff quickly adapted to Sage Fundraising 50. Overall, staff gained approximately 12 hours of time each week through use of the import functions. ProSoft Solutions provided excellent support throughout the conversion process and after. Review Source TW Trudy W. Used the software for: ### "" November 4, 2011 4.0 We were using another donor system to process our credit cards and record them. It was very limited in its usage and difficult to get information reporting. Then we got Sage Fundraising 50. This system is easy to understand and use. You are in complete control of the coding and interface between it and your accounting system. It has so many standard reports that help you to find what you need quickly. I love this system and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high value donor management system that is priced right for the small to medium organizations. Review Source PH Patrick H. Environmental Services Used the software for: ### "no comments" March 4, 2015 5.0 Pros They are a very good value and quality product. We could use them a very long time. Cons I dislike nothing about this product and vendor. Review Source SM Stacy M. Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very easy to use" November 9, 2017 5.0 Pros Integrates well with other software and makes staying on top of mailings and contact fairly easy to do Cons The conversion from previously used software could be a little smoother and more efficient but that’s all Review Source BJ Barbara J. Executive Assistant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Non-profits" October 25, 2016 4.0 We purchased this software for our small non-profit. It is very easy to use to enter data. It has many reports to choose from also.
