    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.

    If you are managing a nonprofit agency, advocacy group, or political campaign, NationBuilder is likely the best tool available for the job. It has everything you need in one package, excellent support from NationBuilder reps, and plenty of reputable case studies that show its effectiveness. There is also a robust network of capable partners that build custom solutions and provide consulting.

    Cons
    Bonterra
    • 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.

    NationBuilder
    • NationBuilder lacks the ability to create a message board.
    • NationBuilder needs to add threaded comments so you can respond to people who comment on your page.
    • NationBuilder needs to make it easier to offer tiered memberships.

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

    Support Rating
    Bonterra
    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.

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

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

    • The NationBuilder ecosystem is a well-connected, supportive bunch and it has been great to be a part of that
    • Most inquiring clients are already aware of NationBuilder's benefits and know what they want to accomplish. This saves time during the on-boarding process
    • NationBuilder's sales team is undereducated about the platform and I have received feedback from clients that they are sharks/difficult to work with. This is a big problem and I have lost business from it
