"Helpful Data Sources and International Research"
4/5
What do you like best about iWave?

The most helpful is data sources and having a little bit of international research available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

How long it takes to receive scores. Asian names seem to get mixed up a lot and can be way off, providing hundreds of incorrect records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Donation Data Made Easy with Helpful Donor Profiles"
5/5
What do you like best about iWave?

I find it most helpful to find donation data. I like the profiles feature since I go back and refer to profiles on board members and other key donors quite often Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

There is no wild card search. You have to try a few name variations until I can view the donation data I am looking for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Prospecting with Unique Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about iWave?

I like that the user interface is generally friendly and straightforward, which makes it more likely for me to use it correctly. I also appreciate the unique giving records and emails for giving contacts that aren't found elsewhere. This helps me find information that would be more challenging to find otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

Sometimes when there is a common name for a person, foundation, or corporate, there are too many results, and they cannot be filtered or exported due to the number. I also wish there were more precise giving numbers rather than ranges. And I wish that more emails for contacts were more available and updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bre Alexander of iWave

"Great 360 Search, but Entity Resolution and Smart Search Need Major Improvement"
2.5/5
What do you like best about iWave?

The best part about iWave is the ‘360’ feature which allows you to search different datasets for keywords Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

Their entity resolution and ‘single person’ view is very bad. I don’t rely on their ‘Smart Search’ at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Needs Better Prospect Targeting"
3.5/5
What do you like best about iWave?

I like that iWave is pretty easy to use and gathers information from a variety of sources into one view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

The prospect identification doesn't work as well as I would like. Improved targeting based on donations to specific topic areas would be helpful. I often run a prospect list for 'science' focused donors in a particular geographic region but often times many of the prospects identified are not relevant.

"Efficient Donor Research and Data Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about iWave?

I like that iWave allows me to search multiple reliable data sources in one place and then save and share my data with colleagues. I also find it very helpful for Salesforce data hygiene, especially for managing accounts and contacts. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWave?

I have no complaints about the software. I do miss being able to share licenses by having a limit on concurrent logins. iWave recently adopted a one license per user policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bre Alexander of iWave

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad iWave supports your donor research and data hygiene needs. It’s great to hear the platform’s ease of use and reliable data sources are benefiting your team.

We appreciate your note on the licensing policy and will share it with our team.
