Kindful is dynamic, yet easy to use I've really loved how easy Kindful has made running our online donations. Before it was just a hectic mess of spreadsheets emailed back and forth and now our whole team can be on the same page. The program gives us enough flexibility to build what we need but it is user-friendly enough that all members of our team - despite varying tech capability - can all manage and use the program.

Not as good as what we were told/sold! We purchased Kindful one year ago and I knew this was going to be the answer to our problems. Our salesperson did an excellent job of selling but unfortunately that is where it has ended. It is not user-friendly. It does not work well with Quickbooks. It is not an easy transition or download from an existing product. It is not report friendly. I would actually give it a lower rating except everyone has been so "Kind". The helpdesk is better than average. This transition has been a nightmare and I do not see it getting a lot better. Sorry!

Best for the Price We have been using Kindful for a little more than 2 years. Their donation forms and plug-ins are the best I have seen from any donor CRM. Their user-interface is simple and intuitive. And their service and user-support is very responsive. For the price, you can't find anything better [trust me, I've looked]. Some of their tools need to be supplemented by other platforms, specifically we use an alternate tool for peer-to-peer fundraising. But since they have an open API, we've been able to seamlessly work between multiple platforms to bridge those gaps. The only piece that I really hope they improve soon is their task management/donor forecasting tools. Unless you rely very heavily on moves-management plans for major donors, you can probably work around that.

Would not correct our database integration … Would not correct our integration for our database. Their explanation of the process was poor, I reached out because I didn't understand and received a basic, read it again response, I downloaded my database to the best of my understanding, needless to say it was wrong, I couldn't run correct reports, I spent a lot of time with one of the techs trying to fix it, after a month, they had "Fixed it" and when I went in, it was still very wrong. I reached out again and told them my only solution was to truly start all over again with the process, wipe everything out and start over. They refused to do this and then I wanted to terminate and they wouldn't refund any of our money. It was a very long and inconvenient process and I went back to my old database and will not renew with them. The whole purpose of a database is have correct information, if you can't work with me until it is correct, then that defeats the purpose.

Kindful used to be awesome Kindful used to be awesome. No more. Kindful was purchased by Boomerang and is now marked for obsolescence. Support is marked by long delays and a near complete lack of caring. Integrations are poorly maintained and weeks go by without response to tech support problems and customer service isn't helpful. It's pretty sad. Kindful has never been very user friendly, but was reliable and had good people to help you. Those people seemed to have moved on.
