Donor Perfect is great database tracking system to record and maintain histories of all donors.

### "Donor Perfect is very user friendly and has all the features my organization needs."

November 21, 2018

5.0

Donor Perfect integrates with the Agile Ticketing system we use at our non-profit art house cinema and the transfer of information is seamless. Donor Perfect has been wonderful in all aspects.

Pros

I like the reporting functions of Donor Perfect. The preloaded reports are fantastic and the ability to customize a report to your own needs is very useful.

Cons

That you must pay to extra to have more than one user on at a time.

November 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

We've used their software for our regular child sponsorships in Haiti. We love the software and will use it for years

### "Everyone should use Donor Perfect!!"

November 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

User friendly, features adaptable for a variety of needs and awesome support. We've used Donor Perfect for over 10 years for both membership and development purposes and the consistent efforts of DP to improve is impressive and always beneficial.

Cons

I have a difficult time identifying any cons given the flexibility of Donor Perfect and the ease of figuring things out.

### "Makes my job easier"

July 25, 2017

5.0

better flow for the needs we have

Pros

Ease of use - I'm able to train other staff members to use without much problem due to the easy to understand functions Customer Support - The customer support team has been wonderful each time I have called with a question, I have my answer quickly, I never wait long to speak with anyone, and they always follow up with an email with how to do what you just learned.

Cons

I wish that there was a feature to look up other individuals connected with a constituent. For instance, if there is a spouse or an employee you were trying to look up connected with a record, you can't search for them currently if you don't know the name of the record holder.

### "After learning more about different feature capacity for DP- I’ve become a fan"

October 16, 2018

4.0

I wasn’t a believer at first but I keep hearing how other platforms are not very customer friendly and I really need some hand holding when it comes to new features.

Pros

The customer service is so great & they sound like they really care!

Cons

I wish their online form was more user friendly and customizable

### "Great software!"

February 1, 2019

It is easy to understand and whenever I need help Customer Support is extremely friendly and helpful.

### "Pretty good, not perfect"

July 6, 2016

3.5

Pros

It's internet/cloud based so you can access it anywhere.

Cons

You cannot sort/filter within the database or view the entire database at once. I am constantly exporting to excel to organize data which seems like a waste of time.

Review Source

Response from SofterWare

July 8, 2016

Julianne, thanks for posting this review! We're concerned about your comments related to sorting and filtering within the database, which you certainly can do. Exporting to Excel or a .csv file is an option if you want to view all the records in a spreadsheet, but we'd recommend running a report instead. That will give you the ability to drill down to the specific records and details using the hyperlinks available in our reports. The drill-down capability doesn't exist if you export the data to another source (like Excel). We're always looking to make work easier and faster for our clients and we have a great track record of incorporating client and staff ideas into our product updates. To that end we are about to launch our new Easy Report Builder, and it includes the ability to actually schedule common reports so that they are emailed automatically(!) to your key stakeholders on a recurring basis. Please contact support to sign up for it (it's free!) or if you have any questions about the best way to view batches of records. Thanks again for the review!

November 15, 2019

5.0

I love the forms and how easy it is to upload to our website. The ready, set, auction feature makes our events easier and clients much happier.

Pros

It is so easy to use and love the features!

Cons

Although there is no way around this, the learning process. I just wanted to start using it right away.

### "DonorPerfect Online"

December 21, 2017

3.0

It's a good value for the money but there are other software packages at the same price point that offer more up-to-date features. (NEON comes to mind!)

Pros

Very customizable; great customer service; easy to use and learn. Rarely have any problems with it.

Cons

Reports are not very customizable...most reports I have to do by hand in Excel after exporting data. "Canned" reports are pretty limited.

### "Great, but simple"

February 15, 2019

4.0

It's great as a simple program, just know what different programs offer before you buy one so that you don't have to go elsewhere for more fundraising help later on!

Pros

Very simple. The program does what it does really well, and it continues to become more aesthetically appealing. They have fundraising tips and information available fairly regularly.

Cons

The thing that makes it great is also what limits its potential. It's not a robust program, so if you are looking for it to do other things, you will have to look elsewhere.

January 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

I really love how simple is to keep all of our donor files accurate and secure. The dashboard gives a simple and customizable overview of your organization's fundraising efforts.

Cons

The tutorial/knowledgebase area needs some improvement. I spent a lot of time self-researching to learn some of the newly integrated processes now available.

### "Great Way to Keep Track of Donors"

August 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is a great way to keep track of donors, create mailing lists, and track donations. I also love that you can customize it to track exactly what you would like.

Cons

Using the filters to create mailings lists can be very confusing. You have to be very precise and use many filters or else you won't get what you want. I wish there was a more user friendly way to create mailing lists.

### "The Perfection of DonorPerfect"

February 19, 2013

4.0

I would definitely recommend to other organizations for their donor database. It offers a lot of flexibility and is a very useful tool for Development staff.

Pros

has been a very useful tool for our Development department. The software was already installed when I joined the organization and with very little in-house training, I was able to find my way around donor information and running reports. When I became totally confused, the customer support reps were very helpful in guiding me in the right direction. My most recent experience with customer service was especially helpful as they dialed into my program and I was able to watch and ask questions as they took me step by step through the process. This was invaluable. Every week I discover another way to get information from the database.

Cons

There are very few cons to software. Sometimes I play "phone tag" with the customer support people to get an answer to my questions. It sometimes takes me longer than I would like to figure out how to pull the information I want for a report. This is more a factor of my lack of formal training and I have recently signed up for unlimited webinar classes to increase my knowledge.

### "Donor perfect review"

June 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

The customer support is amazing. I am new to donor perfect with very little organizational training or supports in place and the donor perfect support does a fabulous job of helping me. Also customizing things is very easy. In some ways, it’s the beta donor database I’ve used.

Cons

More in depth training documents. I know there are some but I still felt like I needed t contact support a lot. Also the fact that you can get th same info different ways is both a blessing and a curse - I sometimes don’t know the best place to go for things

Donor Perfect is so simple and makes all the donor information easy to find. Receipting is also so easy, with the ability to set it up so that receipts go out as soon as they make a donation. I love getting emails saying someone donated and it's already taken care of!!
