Limited event management tools

Philanthropy Officer

We've looked into adding the Auctions and Events modulars too, but they just didn't have the same functionality as other companies.

62% of reviewers feel negative about DonorPerfect’s event management features. Reviewers indicate that the event module lacks integration with the main database and does not support essential functions like seating charts, online bidding, or flexible registration options. They say entering and exporting event data is cumbersome, and the interface is not as user-friendly as other parts of the system. Many users mention relying on external tools for event management due to these limitations, leading to extra manual work and data imports.

Complex filter setup process

Finance Officer

I would have to say that running reports with all the various filters can be quite tricky and confusing at times.

62% of reviewers feel negative about DonorPerfect’s filter creation process. Users report that building and managing filters for reports or mailing lists is confusing and unintuitive, often requiring significant trial and error. They say the interface for creating compound or custom filters is cumbersome, and the terminology can be unclear. Many reviewers mention needing extra support or training to use filters effectively, and some feel overwhelmed by the complexity when trying to extract specific data or share filter setups with others.

Challenging report generation

Office Manager

I find pulling reports not user-friendly. Whenever I need to draw a report, I must chat with the customer service.

45% of reviewers feel negative about DonorPerfect’s report generation process. Users find pulling reports, especially those with complex criteria, to be unintuitive and time-consuming. They say the reporting interface is not user-friendly, often requiring assistance from support to extract the desired data. Many reviewers mention struggling with the system’s terminology and setup, leading to confusion and extra steps when generating or customizing reports for their organizations.

Frequent technical glitches

Major Gift Officer

There are several times throughout the day I get logged out without notice resulting in some work being lost and having to be redone.  

57% of reviewers feel negative about DonorPerfect’s stability due to bugs and technical issues. Users report experiencing crashes, unexpected logouts, slow performance, and occasional system freezes that disrupt their workflow. They say troubleshooting can be challenging, with some problems taking time to resolve or requiring repeated follow-up. Reviewers also mention inconsistent communication from support when issues are escalated, and some express frustration with recurring minor glitches that impact daily operations.

Ineffective duplicate management

Development Officer

Also, merging duplicates is a bit frustrating as there's currently no way to keep information that's listed in the 2 records when creating the merged record (e.g. if Record A has Address A, and Record B has Address B, if I want to keep both Address A and Address B in the new (merged) record, I have to go back and manually add the second address back into the new record.)

43% of reviewers feel negative about DonorPerfect’s handling of duplicate records. Users report that the system does not reliably detect or prevent duplicate entries, especially when there are minor differences in names or addresses. They say merging duplicates is labor-intensive and may result in lost or incomplete information. Reviewers mention challenges with household and business relationships, as well as difficulties when importing data from other platforms, leading to extra manual cleanup and time spent maintaining database accuracy.

Development Director

DonorPerfect's best features include its user-friendly interface, strong support, and the ability to manage donations, engage donors, and streamline administrative tasks.

Manager, Fund Development

Our organization has access to a sophisticated and comprehensive tool to properly manage and analyze data in order to make informed decisions regarding fund development activity.

Customizable workflows: The platform allows for customization to grow with your organization, expanding workflows and connecting with preferred tools as needs evolve.

Real-time updates: DonorPerfect updates in real-time, ensuring that your entire staff can access the most up-to-date information at any time, no matter where they are based.

Director of IT

The pricing model which invoices on levels of records in the system was a little difficult to get to a point where we could purge the non-needed records to manage our monthly cost.  

Donor Records Coordinator

The security, data and management potential, excellent customer support, and comprehensive resources available to help users maximize their impact and get the most value for their money.

Director of Advancement

Over the last year we have started using DP Forms which allows for less paperwork and time from my team because everything easily uploads into donor files.

Chief Development Officer

Customer Support is top notch, ability to customize screens and reports is super helpful, it is a very robust system with a lot of capabilities.

Director of Development

The ability to save time by making global edits + bulk updates/imports is very helpful for an organization who is cleaning up their database.

Executive Director

The integration with online donation forms and automatic receipting saves a lot of time, and being able to segment donors for targeted communications is a huge plus.

I have also bought a few hours of individual training each year to help with one of my database goals and make sure I am utilizing as many features of the system as possible for what I am trying to accomplish.

Donor Relationship Manager

One of the biggest wins is that it encourages board-level engagement in donor relationships, which is vital for long-term stewardship. Plus, we benefit from customizable dashboards, real-time reporting, integrated communication logs, and a strong security framework.

Director, Resource Development

Donor Perfect is amazing for moves management, sorting data to make informed decisions and keeping track of the many moving chess pieces in fundraising.

Donor Relations Coordinator

This company continues to expand its integrations and applications to make easy record management, reporting, screen designing, data entry, online/test/mobile giving - we love it! And the Tech Support is second to none - the Staffers are always ready to help when needed.

Accounting Assistant

My secret 3-year plan is to move us out of DonorPerfect, because again, a free plan with Airtable could very easily replace our current procedure with DP.

Individual Giving Manager

It also integrates with our ticketing software so that I can see an individual's tickets, memberships, and even concessions.

Administration Coordinator

One of the features we appreciate most is the flexible and powerful reporting function—it’s easy to pull the information we need in a variety of ways, whether for internal tracking or board reports. But the very best part of DonorPerfect is their outstanding tech support team.

The way Donor Perfect currently treats donor couples, it requires combining two members of a couple into one donor ID, or keeping individuals separate and losing details of their combined giving.

It takes at least 8 clicks (Reports > Report Center > choose report > four clicks to set period > hit Run Report) and a little time drinking coffee before you can see the answer.

Director of Operations

It is an amazing product, but I often wonder if we need to make a change because there are a lot of things we don't use about it, like the forms, because they don't look very good on our website, and they payment forms, because the processing fees are a lot.

Admin

Features: The app had all the features we needed, including online bidding, mobile bidding, and automated checkout.

Assistant Controller

Being thrown into the fire to lead our transition our online membership enrollment/auto recurring as well as other donor online gifts from Flipcause to DP, we have ZERO issues.

I wish that it was easier to find a report that shows my Solicitor activities like donor visits, phone calls, emails, notes sent, etc.

Development Assistant

That I can speak with someone over the phone to get detailed instructions when I need help, and that there are webinars that breaks down how to use their features.

Intake Specialist

All the updates of trainings available as well as changes to the site like the Constituent page just added to the dashboard are well communicated.

The knowldege of the DP staff and their ability to accommodate our organizations needs has made the on boarding process smooth and pleasant.

Executive Assistant

I use the software daily and I am gratful for the learning center that has some great resources and helps me learn how to utilize the different features.

Advocacy Specialist

From pulling data insights, connecting with donors, sharing automatic updates and thank you letters, and more!

Development Associate

From inputting gifts to pulling reports and producing receipts/donor acknowledgement letters, DonorPerfect makes it easy and efficient to get the information you need right at your fingertips.

I am still learning how to use this platform, as I am 3 weeks into this position, however, the only issue I have with it is there is occasionally a lag with the human verification button at the log in screen (and that could be from my side).

Client Services

Search feature is excellent and platform customization allows for it to work the way we need for donor management and fundraising campaigns.

I like DonorPerfect for assignable fields in reporting, ability to integrate with other systems, such as Constant Contact.

Finance Manager

Its interface makes it simple to organize donor data, manage contributions, and generate reports.

Philanthropy Coordinator

Also love being able to send letters and emails directly from a donor's record or a gift record, and that it saves right to the contact screen.

Development Coordinator

Being limited in image uploads makes it difficult to highlight item details and can reduce bidder confidence.

That certain gifts are labelled under different flags based on how they come in, despite the donations all being the same type (monthly for example)

Executive Team Assistant

I will run a report, and I use the FULL_NAME field quite often in reports, but if it is a new contact imported from Qgiv, FULL_NAME will show up empty, and I will ask myself, "Who is this donor?" and then I will remember, "Oh I need to run a calculation by hand and run the report over again."  

Admissions Coordinator

I especially appreciate the customization options, which allow us to tailor fields and reports to fit our specific needs.

Volunteer and Donation Coordinator

I grew as a professional using Donor Perfect as it helped me manage an entire foundation where I was the only one running the system.

This past year, it helped us track donations across all stages, including those from our major annual gala and the follow-up checks that came in after.

the dashboard and main donor screens are a little clunky compared to other platfoms but that is a minor annoyance given how robust the system is.

Data management is difficult, donor tracking is difficult, and our price is through the roof.

Board Treasurer

To be able to draft a letter and upload it into DonorPerfect is a game-changer for me.

Outreach and Engagement Specialist

It is difficult to update sponsorship information on the forms because you can't see the full description at once and there are breaks and coding involved.

Foundation Specialist

I also was not happy with the chat support, as I am new to the system and was trying to set up an event for the first time, and I had to go through 3 chat support people before I got the right one that helped me the most and put me in the right direction.

Even as a beginner, navigating through donor records, reports, and fundraising tools feels straightforward and well organized.

the mobile app is super convenient for looking up the basic donor information if you are on the go and don't have your laptop available.

Development Database Administrator

I am able to create sponsorships with the correct level of sponsorship and the number of tickets that sponsorship gets.  

What I use DonorPerfect for meets my needs but there are areas that I don't know much about.   When I need to run a report I am not able to do it by myself but the support team is very helpful.

As the Major Gift Officer, I can track progress of each individual donors, set next step goals, easily pull reports, and seamlessly save every email correspondence directly into their account.
