Customization: our non-profit is a collective of 8 partner organizations that each offer their own programming, but unite under one common collaborative. In this, we require our database to operate as 8 separate databases, with the ability for data to be tracked across all partners and programming. Sumac was able to construct a database for us that met this need, with fields customized to manage youth participants in exactly the way we need it. As our collaborative grows, Sumac has enabled our database to evolve with it, always finding creative solutions to meet our changing needs.
In searching for a new donor management system, I went through an exhaustive search process comparing features and value for money. Ultimately, we settled on Sumac because of its ease of integration with the existing donor database, ease of integration within the office, and ease of use. Originally signed up with a Bronze level account and quickly upgraded to Silver for the ability to manage more donor contacts. Having cloud access is a major plus as the organization has its fundraising team located in multiple countries. Sumac being located in Canada is a major plus, and their support is excellent.
I find Sumac to be a very intuitive program, which is easy to self navigate, and to teach to others. I have used various databases at various companies, and never have an issue finding my way around their files.
The customer service and technical support team are unsurpassed. They are dedicated to helping users find solutions to their problems, and are more than willing to listen and respond to requests for improvements. Their ability and willingness to respond to the suggestions of their customers makes Sumac unlike any other software company I have worked with.
