### "Great Data Base!"

March 24, 2021

5.0

Everyaction allows for simple tracking of data and organizing that helps with projects and engagement.

Pros

The list orginization is key. My work of engagement is much easier having lists in one place and already organized. I can pull lists and create an events. It keeps this partt of my work very organized and easily accessed.

Cons

The user interface can be cumbersome as it is not very intuitive and often need to review notes or look for help.

### "Excellent tool for digital advocacy"

December 10, 2021

5.0

Pros

EveryAction is a great tool that integrates well with all all aspects of digital engagement, from Facebook ads to list building.

Cons

What I like least is the number of hoops I have to jump through to log in securely. I understand the need to security, but this is the only tool I use with three-factor authentication.

### "EveryAction Review"

November 18, 2019

4.0

Pros

Organization of contact page Ways to work with the data Almost endless number of ways to run reports

Cons

In the data transfer from old software to EveryAction, all the organization contacts became people contacts so we can't treat our funders as orgs in EveryAction (i.e. assign a primary contact) unless we delete them all and begin again. The targeted email takes a lot of work to look beautiful and doesn't offer a lot of design options. Would prefer to use a platform like MailChimp but don't think that EveryAction supports the integration.

### "Using EveryAction, we've taken supporter engagement to a new level. These are powerful tools."

May 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Mobilizing supporters, both old and new, is easy with EveryAction. Emails, advocacy, and fundraising are straightforward. The interface is elegant. It's given us an amazing ability to create engaging and effective campaigns that are impactful and have helped us grow.

Cons

There's a learning curve here, but the supporting documentation is strong and I've found their support team and our organization's account representative to be extremely helpful. They care about making sure we're using EveryAction to the best of our ability.

### "Better than NationBuilder"

April 25, 2018

5.0

Easy and simple creation of signup forms and donation pages, powerful email tool for our newsletter.

Pros

We switched to EveryAction from NationBuilder and absolutely love it. The user interface is sleek and modern, and its very easy to query based on dozens (hundreds?) of filters, actions taken, demographics, etc. We also use the email tool to send out our newsletter and can quickly and easily make donation & signup pages.

Cons

There's not much I don't like about EveryAction. I wish the email templates were built out a bit more, but that's really it.

April 14, 2021

Super pleased and really enjoy working with the staff.

Pros

Cloud -base and the ability to work from anywhere. I enjoyed the ability to track projects, events, solicitations, grants management and moves management all in one spot. I also enjoyed the tutorial videos.

Cons

Lack of traditional fundraising reports such as lybunt report or donor profile. Also being able to see last constituents searched.

Reason for choosing Bonterra EveryAction

Sales rep was amazingly helpful and professional

### "Great Customer Support, Very Solid Tools"

November 14, 2019

4.0

It was such an improvement over our previous system!

Pros

I like how easily I can get in touch with EA's support. I also like how solid the various tools are - very little bugginess, which is a huge upgrade from what we used before.

Cons

The reporting can get a little confusing. Certain data is available in certain types of reports and not in others.

Reason for choosing Bonterra EveryAction

Customer support and ability to grow with the product.

### "I have used several CRMs and EveryAction is the most powerful and easiest to use, by far."

May 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are so many features of EveryAction that are exceptional. My favorite feature is the list builder. You can easily create a list of constituents and then run a report to access whatever data you need, all in seconds. Next, EveryAction has so many available fields - it is extremely flexible and easily accommodates your needs. Third, the support at EveryAction is fantastic - they are constantly improving the product and adding features my team suggests. Finally, I have never used a CRM that so easily allows for import and export of data.

Cons

There is a learning curve when it comes to direct mail plans and reports. However, there are very helpful tutorials on the EveryAction website to facilitate this.

### "I'm a really big fan of Everyaction! It's one of the best all-in-one suite of tools that I've used. "

May 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Variety of tools, ease of learning how to use the tools, customer support and help with client training, out of the box features that look good enough to go live with, customization options.

Cons

It can be a bit overwhelming to clients when they first get started, but the standardized look and feel help with that over time.

### "EveryAction is the only database that I recommend for solid fundraising practices"

May 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used NGP & EveryAction during just about every iteration of my career--for all clients when I was president of my fundraising firm, and now with our state affiliates at LCV. From a fundraising perspective, it doesn't get better than EveryAction. It allows digital fundraising and advocacy to happen effectively in the same place as major donor fundraising, tracks actions, events, etc. Fundraisers can manage call time, set next move tasks, and log all fundraising activities in a smooth and efficient way that helps build for long-term and enduring relationships with the organization.

Cons

Over the years there have been bugs, issues with duplicates or other technical issues, but the EveryAction team go out of their way to make sure they troubleshoot and solve these issues.

### "An outstanding CRM with an innovative team ready to help take any campaign to the next level. "

May 3, 2018

5.0

A CRM that provides everything a user needs to run a successful, data-driven advocacy campaign.

Pros

I work with plenty of clients with different CRMs, and I can confidently say, EveryAction is probably one of the most powerful CRM's I've used - it's so easy to create lists and really see granular data about an individual contact. The email tool is pretty solid, and creating online forms, petition pages, signups, etc is intuitive and quick. For advocacy, EA features click to call, social advocacy, email, and allows for custom targets, which is a differentiator from most other tools.

Cons

The naming conventions for features could use a little bit of work (tags vs. codes vs. activist codes), but other than that, not many complaints.

### "EA review"

November 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

It houses our donor management/stewardship and our digital needs in one CRM. Changes are being made to reflect the needs of the client. Workshops and robust help docs Relatively easy to use

Cons

Some of the donor management/stewardship functionality is lacking but many of the issues are being resolved through updates.

### "Every Action"

June 17, 2022

5.0

Everyaction is a well designed program and is very user friendly. I am able to record activities easily into the system. This software is solving the business problems of large amount of data input and management. This software greatly enhances the ability to store & organize large amounts of information and retrieve with ease.

Pros

The features of the software are easy to navigate and the functions are engaging

Cons

There are no features which are missing and there are no difficulties in using this software.

May 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm amazed at how easy it was to switch from a different database to EveryAction. The Customer Service was incredible; very quick to respond and understanding that I'm not a tech wiz. Very simple interface was easy to learn quickly and made organizing our database very easy.

Cons

So far I have not been able to find any cons. We are really enjoying the switch to EveryAction and are happy with our decision!

### "A better choice for our company"

March 24, 2021

5.0

EveryAction integrates so well with other tools we use, and we know more people are receiving our communications.

Pros

EveryAction is very customizable for users, and the controls are easy to understand. Moreover, our teams fund it much more user friendly than the previous produce we used.

Cons

I don't have significant issues with this software. There is sometimes confusion with where certain comments should be added in records, but that is more of an internal issue.

### "Not the best CRM option for Nonprofits"

November 28, 2019

3.0

Generally, I would not recommend this product, as there are many other options in the nonprofit space that also offer affordable "out of the box" solutions for CRM, online processor, and e-marketing that have smoother functionality and come with better customer service and support.

Pros

The email functionality of this software is good -- it can create nice-looking emails that are mobile responsive.

Cons

The hierarchy of how to organize, label and tag data is clunky and does not make for easy reporting on all elements desired. We have also found the customer service and support to be lacking. We find these to both be critical functions of an "out of the box" CRM for a nonprofit and these elements are far stronger in other systems.
