Quorum Reviews & Product Details

I do like the way that Quorum has the legislative information organized to allow easy visualization of the relationship amongst bills, amendments and the voting patterns. I apply it in my daily routine making briefs and summaries and it aids me to make sure that I do not skip anything of importance. The ability to trace the impact of various pieces of legislation on one another has allowed me to make my research more focused, and it also assists me in offering colleagues with objective and proper guidance on making decisions.

The negative aspect is that not all the historical data may be reliable or difficult to find. There are times when I need to recheck previous votes or older amendments and this slows down research and brief preparation. Although the service is extremely useful as it is used today to track down the latest legislation, it would be better to have access to past data to conduct effective research on a policy in a long term perspective.

I use Quorum for grassroots activation, and it helps me easily reach my members and gives them a simple way to activate. I like the different ways I can target members and the ease it lets me interact with elected officials and regulators. Being able to comment on complex regulations that affect my members is also important to me. The initial setup was good, as the team made it easy to import old data and provided a number of trainings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult and not as intuitive to use at first. There are too many dissimilar parts that are confusing. With time it gets easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Quorum to me is the ease it provides when it comes to tracking of meetings and other significant documents. I do it regularly, and the frequency of use makes me keep up with agendas, votes, and discussions. It links with our calendar quite well hence the reminders are never wrong. The features that encompass the voting, motions and attendance have made my daily routine easier. The implementation process was smooth, and it was a matter of relief to the entire team.

What I do not like is, at times, large documents are uploaded at a slow rate than it should. Those delays have an impact on my workflow since I use Quorum regularly. There are a lot of features and some of them are clumsy to work with. These quirks could be a manual task at times but implementation was good. The problems are eventually solved by the customer support, but awaiting the support may slack down meeting preparation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quorum is a very powerful tool providing many different options for engaging in advocacy. Whether you are looking for contacts for public officials, trying to organize your database of contacts, or tracking bills and engagements, Quorum provides an extremely wide set of tools that are relatively easy to use.

I use Quorum very frequently in my work for all of the things I mentioned above. My organization uses Quorum since a few years ago and the implementation of it into our processes has been relatively smooth. That's partly because Quorum offers a staff member to help with questions and navigating the interface/tools, which is extremely helpful.

I also think Quorum is easy to integrate into existing processes. The Action Center in particular has replaced some of the click-to-call or click-to-email processes that were used by my org previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sheer number of tools available in Quorum can serve as a barrier to use. It does take some time to get used to the different things you can do in Quorum. I mainly focus on logging engagements as well as sending mass emails through Quorum, and while I am fairly comfortable with those processes, I am less familiar with the tagging/tracking capabilities because I don't use them.

Luckily, if I ever do have to use those processes, I can engage with the staff member assigned to our account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quorum is how we track legislation from start to finish. We rely on it to monitor bills we help write, the ones we support, and the ones we actively push against. The platform makes it simple to stay in touch with sponsors and their staff, with accurate contact info and committee assignments that save us time and make it easier to collaborate. The reporting tools are flexible enough to keep leadership updated without extra work, and the API lets us plug legislative data directly into our internal systems. It is used daily by around a dozen people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The (new, I think) API could use stronger documentation, and occasionally we run into missing data or poorly documented endpoints. While Quorum has CRM functionality, we’ve found it more effective to pull legislators and staffers into our existing CRM and email tools instead. Isolating communications inside Quorum creates some friction for us for cross functional collaboration with marketing, events and tracking organizational affiliations beyond just legislation, so we prefer to integrate the contact info but manage outreach elsewhere.

The way that Issue Management can be applied to most items within the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Customer Support Manager is not supporting me in ways that enhance my use of the database and other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quorum searches round the clock every day for legislation and regulations in all states on topics I choose. It tells me when bills are scheduled for hearings so I can pro-actively weigh in if needed. It has great tools for tracking and organizing bills and regs. And it's easy to collaborate with the rest of your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found a downside to Quorum, it's all great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration between the tracking functions and the advocate activation functions within a single screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The contact info for legislative staff and statewide officials isn't as helpful as I'd like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick navigation to accessible and actionable information that our insights team uses on a regular basis. Ability to monitor all levels of government for important issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of customization on dashboard outputs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quorum did an ok job at notifying when a bill was moved to committee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quorum lied to me and said they would provide legislative staff contact, and did not do so. When I questioned why that information was not available they said they could only provide what was publicly available, which was a generic office email address that is available online for free. I urge you DO NOT purchase this software for state or local advocacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
