Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“Auctria was helpful in every aspect of building our Gala & auction, from the website for people to buy tickets, sponsorships or donate, to the ability to send emails to participants before and after the event.”

Kathy J.

Secretary

“Auctria helped us sell tickets, promote our event, manage sponsorships, run our live auction, paddle raise, and onsite sales seamlessly from start to finish.”

Stephanie B.

President

“Auctria provided from cheat sheets, paddle raise recording sheets, and Auctria Academy. And the "Go Live" training that [sensitive content hidden] led for our volunteers.”

Stephanie B.

President

Pros

“One of the easiest parts is the way the system closes out at the end of the auction and provides us with separate sheets for each bidder listing all the items they "won" and also automatically processing their card payments if they have one on file. ”

“We have a lot of repeat donors, so we can keep their same spot in the auction list and just change out the new image and description. ”

Cons

“The interface can feel a bit dated and not always intuitive, especially for first-time users or volunteers.”

Katy S.

IT Administrator

“The only downside to Auctria is that we have to do a lot of manual importing into Salesforce to capture donor activities from our event.”

Melissa H.

Development Operations and Project Manager

“We were preparing to do that again when our in-person event got cancelled due to Covid. ”

Victor V.

Volunteer, not an employee

Cons

“I don't like how we can't better distinguish between a company buying tickets from a person. If Jane Doe is the main contact for Company A, her name shows up instead of the company.”

Christina S.

Grants and Special Events Director

“My challenge with GiveSmart was my own inability to use it effectively in soliciting online donations.”

Ken S.

grant writer

“GiveSmart has been unreliable, poorly supported, difficult to integrate, slow to resolve critical issues, and has forced us to create our own workarounds despite paying thousands for their platform.”
