Easy to import large contact sets and good customer support for backend data edits > > **Cons**: User interface is not the best and confusing to first time users. Hard to share reports with other users. Reports are very limited in what you can pull. ----- ### "Take Your Political Game to A New Level" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *24 January 2023* | Political Organisation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: After over 10 years of use with the product on committees from Obama for America, DCCC or Pennsylvania Democrats - I’ve witnessed a consistent dedication to ease-of-use, functionality, and technological advancement all combined with a true Democratic Party partner’s desire to maintain affordable cost for a more widespread use. It’s truly revolutionized Democratic politics. > > **Cons**: Improvements could included possible integrations with other programs or platforms from DDX to LBJ etc > > Targeting, Polling, Finance, General Dem pictures, Redistricting, and more ----- ### "Review from a Red District" — 3.0/5 > **Carolynn** | *12 April 2023* | Political Organisation | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can access the entire district, create large lists and then add filters to get more targeted results > > **Cons**: Unfortunately some information is outdated, and the lack of email addresses (especially when so many are registered for VBM and have provided them to the SOE's) and the unreliable phone data is a hindrance. > > As a Candidate in a very small dollar campaign with a district hundreds of miles in size, it was invaluable to have a tool like NPG VAN that also syncs to the phone app ----- ### "Satisfied but could use some improvements" — 4.0/5 > **Jesus** | *16 November 2022* | Civic & Social Organisation | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Virtual Phonebank feature. After the trial and errors of creating script elements prior to actually putting it all together in your final script, being able to launch the phonebank session and send to callers via hyperlink is very convenient. Also, the reports that could be pulled from events, surveys, calls and canvassing made end of campaign reporting not so stressful. > > **Cons**: Bulk uploads are so finicky. If contact phone numbers are not in a particular format they are rejected and causes me clean and re-attempt several times. There is also an inconsistency in the data at times: I will create a list of contacts that were called (Contact Type: phone) and get one number but when I use the report manager sometimes the data doesn't match. I attest to maybe duplicate calls to same phone being shared by different contacts. But that is not the only inconsistency in the data. ----- ### "Votebuilder: Necessary for Activists." — 4.0/5 > **Betty** | *16 November 2022* | Political Organisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: VBuilder creates a good overview of the voter. It helps us gauge their intent, activity and sincerity levels so we better "know who we're working with". Scores, Others in Household, etc. are valuable for a clearer vision of our potential volunteer.Creating turfs, etc. are instrumental in directing our canvassers, as well. Overall, a really good system. > > **Cons**: It 'times out' too quickly. By the time I copy and past some information and return it often needs my sign-in again. I do understand this as a vital deterrent for unwanted users, so no complaint. Would be good if it could have just a little longer active time. > > Since the Kerry/Edwards election, I have used online tracking for our volunteers and voters. As it developed into VAN, we enjoyed expanded criteria and additional abilities. To create turf, access to voting records and much more, this program works. I'm so glad to have "The VAN" again in North Carolina, as we did in Florida. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/218974/ngp-van?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/218974/ngp-van) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
