I like the ease of use of Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM). I can quickly build a funding cycle from application to grantee follow-ups, often in less than an hour if the application questions are already written. The software is logical and makes sense. Reports are easy to build and quick to run. The addition of data visualization tools has improved our staff and Board's understanding of community impact.
There is a forum where customers can propose and vote on software upgrades. The Foundant team reviews these regularly and provides feedback. Updates to the software happen twice a year, I believe. The graphic interface continues to evolve for both the customer and its applicants. It is clean and visually appealing.
The software pricing is affordable and much lower than what Foundant's competitors charge.
Both online and telephonic support are available and staff are super friendly and helpful. You can tell they want their customers to succeed.
AI summaries of applications are available, and Foundant is developing AI tools to provide a quick evaluations of summaries based on the customer's criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much I dislike about GLM. I was initially confused by the structure of the software at first glance, but our onboarding representative made it easy to understand quickly.
Some large datasets can take a while to load when viewing submitted applications or reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
