Bonterra Salsa Engage vs. EverydayHero Pro (discontinued)

For smaller organizations who don't have extensive data needs (i.e. not many audiences to segment) and who don't need robust reporting, this works great.

The system is pretty well-suited to the purpose we use it for, where a group of individual volunteers are raising funds for a specific event campaign. We have only had 2 other users attempt to use it to raise funds in a true peer-to-peer manner, and neither was successful. It seems it is a little difficult and time-consuming for the end user to set up and share.

• Translation from salsa engage into our CRM system
• Could use more modern email templates
• More restrictions regarding image upload. Currently, you can upload any size and insert it. The email will not send correctly but you do not receive an error message.

• Setup is a bit complex.
• Fees are expensive.
• Tracking performance is limited to individuals, can't see the whole team without downloading all activity on the campaign.

Easy to use interface, far superior to classic. You did this right.

Support response has been swift and knowledgable, though not always the answer I've wanted. One huge design flaw is if I add a new Salesforce field to sync, Salsa Engage will not sync it unless it has changed since the last sync, requiring me to fake an update for an entire database or re-sync the whole enchilada. Better to recognize it's a new Salesforce field and perform the sync en masse.

I've not successfully accessed any support for this software, even from the invoicing team.

EveryAction is a lot cheaper, but Salsa has more featured with targeting certain elected officials/better text messaging strategies

We have previously used Mobile Cause to manage this campaign, and while Mobile Cause is slow to pay and makes frequent accounting mistakes, the end user experience was better (according to the users) and it cost our organization less. However, everydayheroPro integrates with our Blackbaud software (sort of) and Mobile Cause did not.

Incentivized

• Our event participants are always maxed out and Engage allows them an easy way to sign up and participate.

Incentivized

• Allows us to manage this specific campaign fairly easily.
• Reporting is difficult to interpret.
• Cost is high.
