"Antiquated Platform with Limited Customization and a Dated Landing Page"
1.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

It is part of DonorPerfect's platform and all data is uploaded into DP with the push of a button. It is a simple software to use. It is very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

The platform is antiquated. There is very limited ability to design it to be user friendly. The landing page looks like it is from 2004 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Program to Run an Auction"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

Good reporting tools and easy to establish customer account and check-in and check-out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

Setting up items to bid got a little complex. We had a couple times where we added items and then it completely changed the numbering system. It was not the easiest for someone not familiar with programs like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the job, looks okay"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

My FAVORITE thing is that it integrates so well to DonorPerfect, and it is really easy to upload your excel documents of auction items or attendees. That is really simple and a breeze. I also really like the texting integration it has for online bidding, super simple and effective outbid notifications, and our donors love the "otto" bid feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

It doesn't look great, and we had a few troubles with network at our events (not the software's fault but an issue when relying on it). We also had a few people get outbid notifications when they were not outbid so they were then confused when they won the item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Software, gets the job done for a great price"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

I liked that it's streamlined, user friendly, and has a lot of great features and capabilities - even for the lowest tier of subscription. It doesn't have too many extra bells and whistles, but still advanced in what it can produce for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

There is a lack in customizability, and some features were not applicable to our auction so we had to work around those or ignore certain fields in the system because we weren't going to need those fields. Otherwise not too many complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mind Blowing"
5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

Just about EVERYTHING! My company switched from Greater Giving to ReadySetAuction this year for our Fall Festival and Silent Auction and what a difference did it make. RSA saved me so much time this year, all I had to do was put the correct information in and the software did everything else for me (no more days of having to type the same information 3 different times in 3 different places). This software is EXTREMELY user friendly, their customer service is top notch and the price is right. Another benefit for me was it's compatible with DonorPerfect! I would highly recommend this to anyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

I really have no BIG complaints about this software. My only hiccup was that you can't have 2 packages with the same name (for instance, we do a silent auction of gift certificates and if you have 2 gift certificates for the same place and same amount but you want to separate them, you have to change the name of the second one slightly, even if that means just putting an extra space).

"Great for small nonprofits "
3.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

For a young nonprofit, ReadySetAuction offers a great amount of staff control for orgs that are new to auction-style fundraisers for galas etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

ReadySetAuction's interface takes some getting used to, and the user control—while it makes the software less expensive—means that multiple people needed to be trained in it to prevent issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There's a lot to like if you can handle the cost"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

You don't need to be a computer expert to use the product. There is no coding involved. You can set up your sponsors, packages and bidders fairly easily. I love that you can run easily set up and manage an online auction in lieu of or in addition to a live or silent auction. You may establish maximum bids, set “buy it now” thresholds, etc. It is highly flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

It's among the more expensive options. I also wish you could utilize the software for a longer period of time after the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the work of 10 people!"
5/5
What do you like best about ReadySetAuction?

The multiple features...from being able to save donor information year over year, to adding donations and being able to package and put them online. The correspondence is also a great feature, to be able to invite, thank, and invoice folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadySetAuction?

I HATE that the auction catalog is only visible for a two week window. We work so hard as a committee to solicit donations - we want to be able to make them visible as soon as the items are received to give our donors some exposure and build excitement for our program. The excuse as to why it costs an additional fee are weak - the software is already housing the data and information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
