We have been using it for over a year now and love it even more. It's easy to use and syncs with Raisers Edge which saves us so much time, > > **Cons**: Honestly, it's so much better than what we were using before. I don't have any complaints. The team at Almabase works with us to solve any problems we have, > > We love working with Almabase. The platform is easy to use and saves us hours of time. Customer service is great and everything we need is in one place. ----- ### "Almabase - A Great partner in Alumni and Engagement Management\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *19 December 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Data inbox is a powerful solution for alumni offices, designed to streamline data verification and ensure accurate, up-to-date information is consistently synchronized with your CRM. With the flexibility to either manually review updates or implement automated syncing, it supports a pathway to full automation as confidence in the workflows grow. The privacy considerations and ability to alumni to communicate with each other really makes this a useful tool. The events module provides a flexible and easy experience for our alumni and participants to register for small and large multi session events. > > **Cons**: We utilize all the modules of Almabase, but the software could use some tighter integration and development across the platform between the modules. Sometimes this causes you to pause and rethink your processes to get things to work. That said, it is usually manageable. > > Almabase has been a great fit for our organization, and they have excellent customer service. From implementation, continuous improvements to the product, and resolving issues, they prove themselves to be a great and responsive technology partner. The culture of this company is evident with interactions between their leaders and the support and success managers we communicate with regularly. ----- ### "Used to set up an alumni database for our existing and lost alumni" — 3.0/5 > **Virginia** | *16 July 2018* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support staff was very helpful in the setup and in addressing any issues that we had. The overall building of the "base" was fairly easy. > > **Cons**: It didn't stand out enough as unique or needed to continue the yearly contract. We ended up using our new web platform to incorporate a signup form and keep alumni up to date. > > It was a useful tool in having all of your alumni information in one area and offered options that we ended up not using. ----- ### "Great features, easy to use, fair price" — 5.0/5 > **Tyson** | *12 October 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Almabase is a very intuitive platform for alumni community management. The system is easy to use no matter whether you are an end-user or a platform administrator. Creating content pages, events, campaigns, and job postings is a snap as the system leads you through providing the details you need to complete each task. As a former webmaster, I appreciate the ability to go into the code view for content pages so that I can manipulate pages to display according to my personal preferences. > > **Cons**: There is very little to dislike. Being pickey, I can say that the back-end of the platform does not always work the way I would want it to work. However, that is based on my own personal preferences for how I use the system and is not based on how the system was designed to function. For example, If I upload a spreadsheet of names and email addresses so that I can send out email communication to a group of constituents, the system will sometimes overwrite the name I associated with an uploaded email address because someone else (usually a spouse) has used that email address as their email address of record for their alumni community profile. So, Almabase will default to the name associated with the community profile instead of enforcing the name I uploaded with the spreadsheet. So...if I wanted to use the Almabase communication center feature to send a birthday greeting to Jane Doe...I would need to make sure that her spouse, John Doe, is not already using the email address I have on file for Jane as his community profile email address. If that does happen, Almabase will insert "John" into the dynamic first name field of my message instead of using "Jane" that I had associated with the email address in my spreadsheet. This platform-based setting to enforce the first name associated with an email address is my only issue but it is minor when compared with the robust features we enjoy. > > The alumni community platform provided by Almabase is helping us connect with alumni who have fallen off our radar. The system facilitates the communication of alumni with one another and encourages alumni to invite their classmates to join the system. Our alumni are able to update their information on the community profile page and then Almabase integrates with our CRM (Raiser's Edge NXT) to update our local alumni records. It has been a wonderful partnership so far and I look forward to seeing where the next several years leads us as we continue to develop this partnership. ----- ### "Almabase provides excellent value for our alumni" — 5.0/5 > **Kyle** | *19 November 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Product itself is super easy to use and the customer service is top-notch. Map feature is impressive and we have received great feedback from our alumni since launching recently. Almabase allows us to provide our alumni with a high-quality experience — keep them in touch, but also giving them networking/career opportunities they desire. The email functionality inside Almabase is so much better than other products like Constant Contact. We can easily segment and send communications by graduating class, location and more. The Engagement Snapshot is also a very useful tool — we can easily see how engaged our alumni are. > > **Cons**: No complaints so far\! We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with the Almabase team so far. > > Almabase is at the center of our alumni strategy. The goal is to provide alumni with a high-quality, tangible benefit to grow their affinity for our school and inspire volunteering, fundraising and more. The Almabase team is great to work with — not only addressing questions and issues quickly, but being a partner in devising our strategies. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/124528/almabase?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/124528/almabase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
