"Full Donor Insights at a Glance, Plus Helpful Webinars and Neon Rep Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I like the ease of viewing full account information at a glance. The ability to pin notes to a profile and the summary of a donor's total and annual giving makes that possible. I also appreciate the resources available through webinars and one on one video calls with Neon reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

The reporting is easily my least favorite part of Neon. I wish there was a way to generate professional, ready to print reports as PDF's. Having to export to Excel and do all my formatting can be tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

We love hearing that Neon CRM’s profile note pinning, giving summaries, and rep support are making it easier for you to view donor info at a glance and track campaign goals. We also hear you loud and clear on the reporting side! Feedback like yours helps us continuously tweak and improve our platform. Thank you for taking the time to share your Neon CRM experience with us!

"All-in-One Fundraising, Email & Events Platform That Saves Us Time"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

The combined platform for fundraising, email communications and events has been the best thing for our organization! The P2P fundraising feature has contributed to more seamless fundraising and saved so much time and increased our donor stewardship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

One of the least helpful things had been the lack of continuity between forms and surveys. However, that feature was recently released so I'm very pleased with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

We are thrilled to hear that having your fundraising, email communications, and events all in one combined platform has made such a big difference for your organization. We're also glad to head that our latest updates addressed your concerns. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

"NeonOne review"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

Everything is in one place. The contributors for our club can access events, memberships, donations, volunteers, communications, store, website, and fundraising all in one platform. It enables us to quickly assign roles and onboard new contributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

It is a bit more pricey than other CRMs but we are hopeful that the fundraising component will pay for itself. We would otherwise have to pay for two separate systems to take care of fundraising and membership management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

We love hearing that having your events, memberships, volunteers, and communications all in one platform is helping your organization to collaborate and automate more effectively! We also appreciate your honest note regarding pricing and we are right there cheering you on as that fundraising component pays for itself. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us!

"Intuitive CRM That Streamlines Non-Profit Operations"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I appreciate Neon CRM's intuitive nature, which makes it easy to use. The reporting features are where I spend most of my time, and I find them very helpful. I also value the ability to organize by campaign or event to track donations and registrations, communicate with supporters, and produce real-time reports. Overall, it streamlines communication with volunteers, donors, constituents, and supporters effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

Maybe more intuitive workflows and reports can be difficult at times due to certain boundaries. I am just learning workflows but reports and I would like to be more creative with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Zmudzinski of Neon CRM

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that Neon CRM is an essential tool for helping you keep your donor, volunteer, and fundraising activities organized and efficient!

"User-Friendly CRM with Stellar Automation"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I appreciate how user-friendly Neon CRM is. Their customer service is also very responsive, which is incredibly helpful. I truly appreciate the automated workflows; they send pledge payment reminders and help communicate to relationship managers when donations are created from their portfolios. We've found that we can accomplish almost all of our needs with Neon CRM, and it doesn't break the bank. Also, Neon CRM is much more user-friendly compared to our previous tool. I would definitely recommend Neon CRM to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

Workflow limitations are a setback, as I need to schedule automated workflows for pledge reminders 3-6 months in advance due to the large gift amounts. It would also be incredibly helpful to have all reporting lines available for every report. Lastly, I need to be able to apply a pledge payment to a pledge on someone else's account, like when a husband signs the pledge agreement but the payment comes from a check with only his wife's name on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Zmudzinski of Neon CRM

Hi there, thank you for sharing how our automated workflows and pledge reminders are helping you stay organized and productive! It’s great to hear that the system is helping your relationship managers stay on top of their portfolios while providing a user-friendly experience. We've noted your feedback about managing complex, large pledges and reporting. As a workaround, to apply a pledge payment to a different account than the one that made the pledge, you can enter the donation payment on the wife's account (where the payment came from) and then use soft credits to give recognition credit to the husband's account (where the pledge exists).

4.5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

We can do everything in one place, which eliminates the need to switch between multiple software products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

Occasionally, there’s something that seems like it should be intuitive for it to do, but it can’t, so we end up having to develop a strange workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

Thank you for sharing your experience with Neon CRM. We’re thrilled to hear that having everything in one place keeps your team organized, saves you time through email automation, and syncs smoothly with QuickBooks and PayPal.

"Intuitive CRM with Powerful Dashboards and Room to Grow"
4/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I love using Neon CRM for storing relationship data and historical context os our organization's stakelholders. I like that it's intuitive to use and helps to build capacity through its limited automation systems. We also leverage the integration of the database with the Neon Website functionality. We are in the very early phases of beginning to truly understand the depth of the tool. Its truly helpful in helping us make informed decisions through its well built out dashboard that pulls data from the database in respect to lapsed donors, retention and more building. The Neon Team consistently is develops and refines the platforms capabilities ensuring that it continues to grow as organizations scale they're fundraising worl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

There is not much I do not like about Neon CRM. The biggest hurdle in furthering the application of this tool has been building out the backend information of the database. The database truly gives you the ability to build out as you grow. It is a heavy lift for a small organization to buld if your team does not have the knowledge and time to dedicate to the system it will be difficult to apply its usage over time. The system is intricate and complex and can be overwhelming for someone who does not have a background in data systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Zmudzinski of Neon CRM

Hi there, it's great to hear how our dashboards and relationship tools are helping you make informed decisions and build capacity! We're so glad the new donation forms are already saving you time on data entry for recurring gifts. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback as we continue to refine the system to be even more accessible for organizations of all sizes.

"Flexible, Easy Donor Tracking with Excellent, Responsive Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

NEON makes it easy to track donors, and its flexibility also allows us to engage with our donor base using different metrics. I should also mention the excellent technical support NEON has provided; because of that support, we’ve been able to adapt NEON to our organizational needs. Overall, flexibility, ease of use, and responsive tech support are key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

At first, what stood out was the huge number of options NEON offers. Over time, though, we were able to narrow in on the key options that fit our organization, without feeling forced into a set framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Zmudzinski of Neon CRM

Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re thrilled to hear that Neon One is helping you identify lapsed donors and providing the KPIs your board needs to see your nonprofit's progress.

"Neon CRM: Good Value for Membership Management, Events, and Fundraising"
4/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I use Neon CRM regularly for membership management. It’s been helpful for handling new member registrations, monitoring renewals, and using workflows to follow up with members whose memberships have lapsed. I also appreciate the member portal, where logged-in members can view other members’ profiles from their accounts.

I find the customer support good when I need to chat quickly to solve a problem. I also appreciate their new office hours feature, which makes them more accessible for in-depth questions.

My company researched other CRMs, but we determined that Neon CRM is the best fit for us and offers good value because it handles many aspects of a membership society, including membership, events, fundraising, and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

The reporting could use improvement. Right now, I have trouble pulling reports that span all the different sets we use in our work. Some reports only let me use a limited set of search criteria that’s specific to that particular report type. I work with members, but I often need to understand their membership in relation to their event registrations and donations. At times, the reports don’t allow me to access all of that information in one place, so I end up running multiple reports and then comparing them afterward. That extra manual step creates more opportunities for errors in my data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

We're glad to hear that you've found success with our membership features, supportive customer service, and live open office hours. As you noted, we've been making improvements to reporting but we definitely hear your feedback about needing better cross-functional reporting and we'll pass this along to our product team as they continue developing our reporting capabilities. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and thorough review!

"Seamless Donation Tracking & Integration for Nonprofits"
5/5
What do you like best about Neon CRM?

I appreciate how Neon CRM solves the problem of being able to track all of our donations and donor contact info in the same area. I also like its integration with other important features like Clickbid, which allows me to import all of our data from our live and silent auction events straight into Neon without duplicating any donor records. The seamless integration with QuickBooks is great as it allows me to upload all of our donations straight into our bank transactions. Even though the initial setup was time-consuming, it was easy and there were many useful guides and trainings that helped us along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Neon CRM?

I would love for Neon CRM to add the ability to run an auction within the CRM. The initial setup was time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing Admin of Neon CRM

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are so glad to hear that tracking your donations and donor info in one place, alongside our integrations, are helping you in your work! While we know the initial setup takes some time, we are thrilled that our guides and trainings helped smooth the way for you.

We also appreciate your suggestion about adding native auction features directly within Neon CRM. This functionality is highly requested and our product team is actively exploring opportunities to integrate it into our platform.

We are so grateful to partner with you to help drive growth and support your mission!
