PatronManager is probably best for a larger organization with a dedicated technology expert because a lot of the features require someone to understand the back end a little bit more, especially when you need help (and a lot of the webinars or feature releases are way over the average person's head!). Data mining becomes frustrating because the reporting features are very backwards.
PatronManager is very user friendly on the ticketing center and its easy to train new employees on this side.
We use PatronManager in our Development, Marketing, and Box Office departments. The platform provides accessible CRM capabilities in a user-friendly interface. Reporting across departments is seamless and easy to accomplish with Patron Manager's intuitive user interface. Support is readily available from PatronManager staff at all times. In addition, as this is a Salesforce-backed program, we have access to the wide variety of third-party plugins to integrate with our system.
Pros
Building custom reports is intuitive and user friendly.
Integration with third party apps such as MailChimp is seamless and functional.
Support requests are handled quickly, and the annual user conference offers special training and in-person demos.
Cons
I would like to see more features for fundraising gala planning + execution integrated into the system.
