"Better Impact Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Better Impact is a very easy program to use for operators at all levels. The rostering and reporting system is just excellent. Nothing I have used compares to BI. Better Impact is the best third-party software I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Every year I am asked to create reports for all of our BI organisations. The reports need to include gender specific stats for all orgs and this can be difficult to develop a report for. It would be great to have an all over report that captures this and deletes duplicates as some vollies volunteers with other internal orgs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best way to track volunteers and hours"
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

I like that I can create a schedule that volunteers can pick and choose from. I can also attached documents to specific activities so volunteers have all the information ahead of time.

The training videos were extremely helpful when we first got started using better impact! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Not really dislike, but the learning curve, when for setting it up. But the training videos were extremely helpful. Once I learned where to find them.

I still have not figured out how to add a volunteer to a past activity to track the hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best volunteer management software ever!"
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

It is so easy to use, intuative! I love having everything in one place without the need for additional spreadsheets etc Being able to contact volunteers direct through the system, having volunteers book on to activities from home, online is awsome for us and the volunteers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Nothing! It is brilliant! If I have to say something it would be that I would like to customise the admin portal with the organisation just like the volunteer side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tony Goodrow of Volunteer Impact by Better...

It's great you've been able to ditch the spreadsheets Lou! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our software.

"Better Impact is brilliant. Essential to all volunteer managers"
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Better Impact can manage shifts and record the contribution of volunteers. I like that i can ask for help with how to use Better Impact any time. I love the app for volunteers. I like the communication facility; everything is a lot easier to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

I want to be able to gather feedback without using the time clock.

I would like front of house staff to be able to access limited information about the volunteer like their emergency contacts without access to sensitive information about the volunteer

I would like front of house staff to be able to log that the volunteer has arrived on better impact (this may be possible and i dont know how it is done) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexibility to meet your needs"
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

There are so many things that I like best! The flexibility of the software to accomodate almost any requirement that our organization has come up with. It is amazing how many challenges we have resolved through Better Impact. The support system is outstanding; a terrific on-line help system, combined with nearly instantaneous chat support, keeps us productive. 700 happy volunteers using the system is the icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

It's hard to find a dislike, but a challenge that we have is that Better Impact is a closed system that we are not able to interface with other systems. A few examples; using a single sign-on ability, the ability to integrate contact information for an online directory, and integration with an external donation system.

"Solid database with good support"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

The support on chat has been wonderful! The response is timely and has helped me solve many challenges.

The ability to go back and forth from the administrator and volunteer views is beneficial when working with a volunteer on troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

There is little room to customize the database for the administrator. For example, terminology such as Activity and Assign can confuse volunteers. They are used differently than most organizations in our area use them. I wish these terms could be customized to suit our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Organizational Program That Fits the Bill"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

I like that Better Impact has a dedicated team that is easy to connect with to help me with any question or need that I might have. The program is extensive and has a lot to offer and sometimes I just need to talk to a real person who knows the program inside and out so that I can maximize what I get out of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

The only downside to Better Impact is that there are sometimes restrictions to what Better Impact can accomplish. Consumers can suggest new features to to be added to Better Impact which is fantastic but unfortunately I have seen some great ideas get rejected and with no answer as to why. It would be nice to understand why those ideas are rejected or for the tech guys to listen to what their guests need and try to make it a reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tony Goodrow of Volunteer Impact by Better...

We're glad to hear that Volunteer Impact is such a good fit for your organization. I would like to look at the feature requests you mentioned and follow up with some additional commentary in the suggestion forum and with you personally. If you can recall what they were, please email them to support@betterimpact.com with a note asking to pass it on to Tony.

"Best volunteer software on the market"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

Before transitioning to Better Impact we thoroughly researched all of the available options. Better Impact was the software that had the capabilities to work at an Enterprise level for our organisation as well as giving us the options we needed for different area's requirements. These include aged care facilities, op-shops, large events and phone support lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

The volunteer app could do with an overhaul to be made more user-friendly and modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beneficial Software that Makes an Impact."
5/5
What do you like best about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

It is tough to decide which feature I like the best. I love that the software has the capabilities to add e-learning modules. The fact the software is able to track and pull reports!! I love having the option to create an application for the youth to fill out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Volunteer Impact by Better Impact?

I did not find much about this software that I disliked. If I had to choose it would be the fact I had to set up the software by myself and it was not as user friendly as I expected. It did not have the option to export directly onto our internal timesheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
