Pros

“I most like the integration of fundraising, event management, volunteer management and email marketing all on the same platform.”

Tiffany C.

Neon Development Associate

“Neon CRM is a multi-functional tool that helps our organization organize large amounts of data: donor contacts, event registrants, email subscribers, and more.”

Danie W.

Communications Director

“We can seamlessly sync our data with other platforms such as Constant Contact and Double the Donation, as well as our NEON-based website and donation pages.”

Edmund S.

Board Advisor

Pros

“One of our board members signed up and left our board.”

Jack N.

Founder

“We’re a small nonprofit and never use the platform.”

Jack N.

Founder

“In three years, I think I talked to one person who knew anything about accounting. And don't get me started on pricing - a 25% increase after the initial contract, which was supposed to convert to an annual fee, but they are claiming it's a 3-year. ”

Lisa P.

Finance Director

Cons

“These deficits span from the more strategic functionalities like built-in donor intelligence tools to help you assess capacity-to-give and accounting tools, to practical everyday functionality like an inability to add matched company gifts to existing constituent pledges or limitations with reports and forms.”

Jordan M.

Marketing Manager

“We also wish we could (3) use the new events module, but we are "stuck" on the "legacy events" because it makes zero fiscal sense for us to switch to NeonPay (WAY more expensive than our current processor, even if without surcharging), but I feel like we are missing out on features and that Neon is trying to strong-arm or nickle-and-dime ($199 monthly 3rd-party processor fee) us into switching to NeonPay.”

Linden T.

Executive Director

“One thing that has been a little challenging is when I am filling out a form and there is a drop down, sometimes there is nothing in the drop down, so I know I need to add things to the drop down, but I have to do some searching to find out where I can add those items.”

Tom M.

Office Manager

Cons

“They seem to have no compassion for a small nonprofit struggling to pay its bills.”

Jack N.

Founder

“It is not very efficient in terms of how many clicks it takes to do certain tasks, and it could be updated to not feel like something from 1998”

Marc E.

Sr. Prospect Researcher

“Customer service and support teams are horrible, training is complex for a non-profit with volunteers and keeping data current and relevant is time-consuming and archaic.”

Laura S.

Executive Director
