    Aplos Software
    Aplos integrates with Bloomerang. It brings donations in as either individual or organization, but there is no name or account number associated with the transaction. When reconciling over 500 transactions each month, many at the same amount, it can be tedious to be sure I am reconciling the right transaction. Having the donor name associated with each transaction would be very helpful

    Cons
    Aplos Software
    • In my experience, report filters don't always work like they should.
    • Recent updates have made entering transactions more complicated for me, instead of easier.
    • No ability to delete or deactivate contacts so your list will always grow and you pay based on the number of contacts.
    • In my experience, needs better interface options with other software

    Usability
    Aplos Software
    In my opinion, recent improvements have made working in Aplos more cumbersome, instead of easier. The new look seems less professional than the old look to me. I think there should be more options to have a default setting when starting some tasks, like opening a register.

    Support Rating
    Aplos Software
    In my experience, Aplos support used to be awesome...very quick responses and open to suggestions. I could even see my suggestions implemented from time to time. Now I get an answer, but it's usually 'that's how it is' and no solution. 'Improvements' are not improvements to me.
