CAInnovative, but could improve on client support I like the innovative aspect of the platform and how the company focuses on research and development. That being said, as a medium size organization without a lot of budget, it was hard for us to keep up with the changes on the platform, and sometimes issues that come with those changes. In addition, because of how customizable your tools are, we ended up building a lot of highly customized forms which became difficult to maintain when we switch agency. Finally, while we have no doubt that the team is highly technically capable, we often felt that our needs were not heard or understood, and ignored. Ultimately, we left EN because some of the fundamental needs we had with the platform were not met and we were tired of having to constantly troubleshoot and fix issues when new releases were brought about.

GBPerfect solution for nonprofit advocacy and fundraising I started using the Engaging Networks software nearly 10 years ago when I worked for Humane Society International. Since then, I've had the privilege of getting to know the EN team well and seeing the product grow into the amazing toolset that it is today. I've worked in the software for several large nonprofit organizations and cannot recommend it highly enough. The tools are easy to use, they're constantly innovating and making updates, they listen to their clients, and the resources/support is top-notch. You won't be disappointed!

CAGreat system for nonprofits to grow and integrate their digital marketing Engaging Networks is a fantastic solution to grow and integrate your advocacy, fundraising and email marketing. It’s a very sophisticated system with a learning curve, but they offer an easy interface with documentation and support that makes it possible to get the most out of it. They offer great out of the box templates for pages and emails. They maintain political databases that make it easy to build targeted email/tweet/call to target campaigns. Their digital tracking capabilities are extensive. They have everything a small or large team requires to grow and integrate your digital marketing. Unlike some of the alternative solutions, Engaging Networks continues to invest in improving their system and features. They listen to feedback and they are accessible. I’m very excited about the new page templates, the upcoming Messaging Module, and I'm excited to follow Accessible Intelligence and see how it benefits Engaging Networks. Their system is not without challenges. They offer many integrations but like any sophisticated system you’ll have to see how all of your systems fit together. But their system offers so many options that it seems like almost anything is possible.

GBBest combination of features and support I use Engaging Networks everyday on behalf of nonprofit clients. I've used many such platforms and EN is the easiest to use, the most intuitive, the most open to user feedback and recommendations, and the easiest to talk to directly. No platform is perfect, but I believe EN has the best combination of features and support and I recommend EN regularly.

CAIt 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.
