Powerful data tracking based on volunteer activity as well as insight volunteer administrators would have to mark on individuals' files. Reports it can pull are incredibly detailed--including the ability to assign service values in a dollar amount to the various volunteer positions and tasks you have volunteers do.
I even use it to email all my volunteers at once, rather than vertical response or any other listserv. It allows me to create simple emails with a company logo and signature, attachments, functional hyperlinks, and more.
Volunteers can log their hours autonomously, so volunteer coordinators can spend more time actively recruiting & training valuable volunteers and less time doing data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are SO many features that the learning curve is very steep. Not all features will seem relevant at first and you won't use them until you realize the power they can have on your process and data.
I still can't automate the logging of volunteer hours for certain volunteers who predate our use of Volgistics and refuse to manage their profiles, and its often the volunteers who are most active, so that creates a frustrating amount of data entry each month to log their hours. More of a practical/real world problem than fault of the software, but it would make a great feature to add for a limited number of volunteers who won't self-manage.
