## Reviews

### "Salsa Review" — 5.0/5

> **Caitlin** | *1 May 2025* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was easy to pull information out of the system. It knew what datapoints to provide and gave an overall summary, I didn't have to sift through detailed reports.
> 
> **Cons**: I think it likely duplicated some metrics. For example if I was looking at new donors per campaign but perhaps they donated to multiple campaigns it would have told me it was a new donor 3 times.
> 
> It was easy to use and relatively intuitive. I had a great experience and service was good as well.

### "More Apple, Less PC: Incredibly Robust software, yet needs ease of use" — 4.0/5

> **jeffrey** | *29 June 2015* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The vast amount of robust capabilities built into the software platform, always finding new ways of accomplishing tasks and eventually easier ways of doing them.
> 
> **Cons**: It has more of a Microsoft/tech geek feel to the GUI and application's use, rather than the Apple business model for ease-of-use right out of the box, that most non-profit volunteers/activists are accustomed to using for getting a task done quickly — the obvious metaphor to me the difference between the mechanic who wants to get under the hood of his new car and tweak and modify like a hot rod, compared to the average person who wants to drive a Honda off the lot, to get from A-to-B effortlessly and reliably without much thought because they have bigger jobs to do than figure out the mode of transporation, that the car is just a tool and you shouldn't have to take multiple mechanic classes to figure out how to drive it.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Albeit, Mailchimp is a different platform for smaller email tasks for small groups, yet their ease-of-use GUI model helps the lay person get done quickly and with less confusion. Our IT personnel love the Salsa platform which is all that really needs to be said, yet the people who have to use it on a daily basis compare it to a flight cockpit of endless switches and tabs. For a premiere email database platform that Salsa is, I'm still waiting for emails I send to be fully-responsive and readable on the smallest smartphone. Just not there yet. Mentioned that at the last Salsa training event in San Francisco last fall, which we were told is coming... Still love the software platform. Even though the FAQs leave you wanting and confused with laborious hoops to jump through for answers to problems that mostly don't seem to work, sending a ticket to Salsa gets a quick, friendly response, a great answer and usually a screen capture of what precisely to do in a succinct manner, which should populate the FAQ area instead and the answer model to use.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;And one last thought, as with the SF training event mentioned here, and the last Salsa conference in Virginia, it was an obvious sea of Apple laptops and iPads across the board at all events, all tables. So, the clientele around DC and elsewhere, the core target demographic for your software that traveled to the conference, prefer out of-the-box, ease-of-use products to get the job done, quickly.

### "We switched" — 2.0/5

> **Kellie** | *8 February 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It had a lot of great features for advocacy and fundraising.
> 
> **Cons**: It was challenging to take advantage of all the features.  It was not intuitive and it didn't do essential things needed to make it more useful such as plug in well with wordpress.

-----

### "Great Value and Functionality" — 5.0/5

> **Derek** | *23 May 2018* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Almost all the digital marketing tools you'll need in one platform. Social media and email marketing, custom donation forms, drip campaigns, peer to peer software, event registration and donor segmentation. These are just the pros of the marketing side. The CRM, formerly DonorPro, includes robust reporting and tracking for all your needs from donation tracking to notes to event management, volunteer management and membership management. Truly and all inclusive system that is getting better and better all the time.
> 
> **Cons**: There have been some growing pains that have been mostly worked out in the transition to convert DonorPro into the Salsa platform. Communication between the CRM and the marketing software is still not entirely fluid, but it gets the job done effectively after you fully understand the system from training. The social media scheduling tool needs a little work to get on the hootsuite or sendible level, but again it still functions well for an all-inclusive solution for no extra money.
> 
> I would recommend this solution over the other available nonprofit management enterprise solutions on the market. You get the most functionality for the money and they're constantly expanding the software's ability and support.

### "Comfort" — 5.0/5

> **Jayna** | *15 September 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When using salsa, I like how the website is set up. I can easily find everything I am looking for. If there is something that I need to add, I know there is a feature for that.
> 
> **Cons**: The thing that is disliked about Slasa is that they are going out of business which forces our company to have to find a new system to track donors.
> 
> It is a wonderful place to gather all the information about donors, and also to gather information about how much money we make when we have sales in the different departments.
