    DonorDock
    DonorDock is probably the best nonprofit CRM for small to medium sized nonprofits, when you consider features, use-ability, and value. For most organizations, it’s going to have everything you need to get the job done. For very large organizations ($4 million raised through fundraising annually), or those where money is no object, and they want something 100% custom-built, it is not the best choice.

    If you only want to track donations, I'd go with something simpler. If you want to track donations and programs and connections between them, there may be nothing better. If you have no technical abilities and no budget, restricted yourself solely to what it does as described exactly in the manual. If you can't devote about 0.25FTE to the constant maintenance and upgrades, don't go with it.

    Salesforce
    • Learning curve - very powerful, but takes time to learn
    • Batch processing - takes time and advanced skills to reach efficiency for data entry and certain operations which you want to do in batch
    • Mass email is extremely limited - must choose a third party tool which adds complexity and cost to the system

    I think Salesforce has so much functionality that it makes it difficult in terms of overall usability. Once you can figure it out, it's a 10/10, it's just getting there. If you're willing to do the work to figure it out then you're golden. For what it's worth, I don't know if you're going to find something with this level of functionality that's easier to figure out

    I have never had bad conversations with any support people with Salesforce but we also have not used them very much. I put it a little less because we are struggling to switch to lightning (some of our custom features do not migrate well) and it feels like the help and support for a little organization is not incredibly helpful unless we want to spend a lot of money.

    Alternatives Considered
    DonorDock
    I’ve looked at nearly every other tool on the market, and DonorDock is my favorite right now, especially for smaller nonprofits. It is better because it has focused on making day to day tasks easy. I know a lot of friends dread using their other CRMs, but I actually like using DonorDock.
    Choosing a system is a big decision, and you want to make the right one. No software is perfect, but this is the best one I’ve personally seen: DonorDock is not only easier to use, but it also has great features to retain donors better, and it is much more affordable than the other options out there. Would definitely recommend getting a demo and checking it out for yourself. http://www.donordock.com/donordock-demo

    As a cloud native organization with no previous Microsoft infrastructure, Salesforce was a more logical and effective option for us. The suite of products was also far more comprehensive and required less customization. We were able to adopt a "configure not code" approach to our development of systems to support our mission that lowered the cost of upgrades.

    • Salesforce has allowed us to easily track donor communications in one area, which I believe has improved our donor communication overall.
    • Salesforce for Nonprofits has made it easier on my org to track and pull donation-related information and has reduced the amount of time we need to do these regular tasks.
