Tessitura offers a myriad of options for reporting, ticketing, and general patron management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tessitura? Unfortunately, because the options are nearly endless, so is the time it takes to set up and customize the software’s for your organizations individual needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tessitura solving and how is that benefiting you? While I am Magine the software is just what the doctor ordered for a ticketing, development, or IT team of 10 or more, our small organization struggles with too few interactions to really make the process intuitive. As a result, every time we login it feels like we’re starting over, despite the fact that our team are tech savvy and generally early adopters for new technology.

I love how tailored to non-profit donor tracking this software is. This system makes it easy not only to track your own donor progress and customer accounts but also makes sharing information with other users absolutely seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tessitura? The layout is extremely dated and no longer makes sense with current computer operating systems, which can make identifying icons and proper tools less than intuitive and really rather difficult at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tessitura: This is the perfect non-profit partner that covers all needs from development to marketing with ease! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tessitura solving and how is that benefiting you?

I appreciate the integration of fundraising and ticketing, especially on patron profiles. It's nice to have something specifically for nonprofit arts orgs, rather than a more general software that isn't always set up to process memberships and ticketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tessitura? User-friendliness leaves something to be desired. For new users, Tessitura can be daunting and unwieldy, and it takes a VERY long time to figure out the software. The help system isn't as helpful as it could be as it only addresses some very basic issues. I would also prefer more use for donors; prospecting can be very difficult with Tessitura and the range of reports we are able to pull is fine but not as good as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tessitura: There is a very steep learning curve with Tessitura, but it's better for larger organizations and cross-department integration than other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tessitura solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Tessitura for our ticketing, marketing, and fundraising efforts. It is nice to have everything all in one place, as we can communicate information across departments much more easily than if we were using different software.

The biggest upside is the number of different things it can do - point of sale, generating call lists, tracking donors and sales, the ability to track customer comments and complaints, etc. It generates a multitude of useful reports with only a couple clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tessitura? Point of sale itself can be frustrating. It requires extensive training for each user. It's easy to make a simple mistake that will cause a sale to not go through properly or force you to start over. It is largely reliant on patron IDs that customers are unlikely to remember, and when they don't the search feature can be a bit finicky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tessitura: Review the provided training materials very thoroughly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tessitura solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest benefit is that it allows donor tracking. As a non-profit theatre donors are our main source of income more-so than single ticket sales, by being able to track the engagement level of our donors and collect their feedback in one place, we can improve our outreach. It also allows us to track what types of advertisements are sent out to patrons to see which are most effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Tessitura's robust array of reports. I love that many parts of the software are customizable. I love that it's tailored to arts orgs, so I can find what I need quickly. I also love that lots of other marketing software brands integrate with Tessitura - like WordFly, Behavior Infuser, Survey Monkey, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tessitura? It took years and years and years for TNEW to get SYOS on mobile, which I find pretty unacceptable. Now that TNEW7 has SYOS on mobile, however, the upgrade process from Tessitura v12.5 to v14.1 has been pretty tough for my org. Given that lots of the orgs using Tessi are small arts shops, I can't imagine this is an easy process for them, either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tessitura: ALWAYS hire a database administrator! We don't have one, and it's hellish to make changes and customize the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tessitura solving and how is that benefiting you? We love tracking our marketing efforts in Tessitura. Integrating our email software with the CRM has helped us with reporting statistics about email to our board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
