A platform ready to challenge the big guys Of the fundraising platforms in the market today, there aren't too many that can challenge the big guys, and the first that comes to the top of my mind is Engaging Networks. In the six years since I signed on as a client, I've seen the Engaging Networks platform grow while not straying too far from their core product, and doing so by respecting and listening to their customers. As a non-profit marketing technologist, I've worked with software companies of similar size, but Engaging Networks has the best user community, partners, and employees out there. Maybe it's because all their clients want the best for their clients, community, and country, not just profit, and that brings about more transparency and two-way communications between all parties that I haven't seen before. From a usability experience, Engaging Networks has a better backend than others and complete customizability for end-users. Documentation and customer training has been a continuous point of improvement for them and I appreciate their attention to that often missed requirement.

Powerful but difficult to use and maintain Engaging Networks is a powerful platform but there are limitations. Support is limited and you're on your own if you need technical assistance. Reporting is complex, manual, and difficult.

Happy to recommend! I've loved working with Engaging Networks from the very beginning when they launched in the states. From the day I Googled "Convio competitors" and cold called them, the staff has always been very responsive and eager to take feedback from my staff and clients, as well as feature requests to continue to advance the platform. EN is a tech-forward platform that is extremely user friendly and flexible. And while we are tech agnostic, they are often in our list of finalists when helping clients think through their tech stacks.

It is just not as user friendly or has… It is just not as user friendly or has as many bells and whistles as MailChimp. I use those bells and whistles regularly so I notice when I don't have them.

You are awesome and I can't wait for… You are awesome and I can't wait for the next messaging platform update. Support are lovely and devoted and the tool caters great from data to day to day supporter communication needs. Keep up the awesome work!
