Director of Annual Giving Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/17/2026 "Responsive Support That Resolves Issues Fast" 4/5 What do you like best about Encompass? The support team is very responsive and gets any issues resolved quickly, along with explaining what caused the issues. They have a lot of different areas they support, so having one company to wear all the hats needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? I think they could be more clear on when problems arise on their end and communicating that out to customers. The integration with BBCRM is not where it needs to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Encompass solving and how is that benefiting you? They are out main email marketing tool and we use them for website, giving forms, events, and all other form needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/29/2020 "User unfriendly and glitchy" 0/5 What do you like best about Encompass? The demo we had a couple of years back was nice, however something this simple shouldn't require that much tech. I do like being able to manually adjust things, however a simpler layout would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? I find a new glitch every time I use it. Not user friendly. It reminds me of something you would see around the turn of the millenia. I have lost so many hours of work due to glitches, or having to manually adjust everything. You can do something one way one time, and have to do it differently the next time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Encompass solving and how is that benefiting you? We duplicate a newsletter in iModules as a requirement. I would use other software if I could. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly do not like this platform. It's too complex. I have used SEVERAL platforms in my career and imodules is the most complex, most Non user-friendly platform I've ever used. I guess the only thing I liked about the platform at the time was that it did the job. And I worked in the fundraising arm of a college, so I guess it helped raise money. However, the platforms I used afterward at the place I was working worked A MILLION TIMES BETTER. Much more user-friendly, much more customizable. It was a dream.

Class Officer, Undergraduate Reunions, Tulane Fund Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/13/2020 "iModules use in higher education fundraising and site design" 4/5 What do you like best about Encompass? I love that iModules has a wide range of features and integrates well with Ellucian’s Advance. Also pretty good for web design. We use it for most of our internal giving site pages and it's very easy for design. It's also very easy to integrate with our CRM ellucian advance and can update records in the system when constituents make edits or updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? The console and user interface can be a big clunky and slow. Overall pretty good though. It does everything, but isn’t exceptional in any category. The user interface can also be a bit difficult to navigate. Overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks but there it certainly room of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Encompass: For those considering iModules it's definitely worth exploring it as an opportunity. Again, it does everything but isn't exceptional in any category. The ability to process payments, use convenient web design, and send mass emails with design flexibility are also wonderful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Encompass solving and how is that benefiting you? iModules is primarily how we send mass emails to our constituency database. The flexibility is great. We also use it for web design for all of our forward facing giving pages. It's great that we can process payments and pledges through the system and then get digest emails with all of the details.

After transitioning from our old product, Encompass is so much more advanced. I love the ability to customize our event registrations and use role based content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? It is a little bit more time consuming to set up a new event than it was on our old platform. Setting things up on the backend feels a little more technical, but the end result is much more attractive and consumer friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Encompass solving and how is that benefiting you? Better event tracking and ease of registration. Encompass Events adapt easily to mobile and allow for quick and easy registration.

Customer service is extremely friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? I'm used to editing the back end of websites and I find imodules to not be user friendly at all. I export a lot of reports and then have to spend even more time editing each report.

They also provide great resources/customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Encompass? A lot of the products and services as well as training opportunities come at an additional cost. It is good to make the investment in this additional training but can be hard to identify the right timing with staff turnover (at our institution) over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Encompass: Invest in the initial training for your employees to ensure you're using the platform to its fullest potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Encompass solving and how is that benefiting you? Our institution uses iModules/Encompass to streamline our online event calendar, event registration and email marketing. This past year we worked with the iModules design team to redesign our online community and event pages, resulting in a cohesive brand that matches the university's visual identity. We also worked with iModules to create a custom e-newsletter template and launched a new alumni e-newsletter, now sent quarterly to over 30,000 constituents. We've seen a remarkable increase in alumni profile updates - resulting in better data, improved outreach and more meaningful relationships with our alumni. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
