Causeview lags behind its competitors in many ways. Avoid it!

Pros

  • Causeview's support team is mostly helpful and quick to respond.
  • Causeview integrates event registrations within Salesforce.

Cons

  • Causeview does not efficiently store data, which makes reporting difficult. They use three objects to store donation data, when one would suffice.
  • Causeview charges per user, which makes it expensive for larger companies with many users.

Return on Investment

  • Negative: expensive per-license fee with no discount for added users.
  • Negative: unreliable servers that host donate pages.

We stay organized with Causeview!

Pros

  • Revenue tracking
  • Running reports
  • Keeping donor information in the same database as revenue.

Cons

  • Event registration and donation pages could be better designed - not up to par with sites such as Eventbrite
  • I would like to have the option for people to register with more than one e-mail address instead of creating a duplicate record each time someone uses a different e-mail.
  • Some of my coworkers find Causeview confusing to use or difficult to find information.

Return on Investment

  • Able to track donor behavior and relationships with different corporations
  • Helped us to track our corporate fundraising strategy -- which companies are we cultivating, which have we had success with, etc.
  • Overall Causeview is an effective way for us to keep track of all of our donor information.
