Easy to navigate\! Easy to chat with customer service representatives\! ----- ### "Features Lacking - User Interface Bloated" — 3.0/5 > **Art** | *23 November 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Web-based. Bar code reader. Client intake processing and reporting with a variety of other reporting available. > > **Cons**: \*Not\* mobile device friendly. Web interface doesn't scale well to varying screen sizes, and the interface is extremely difficult to use on any mobile device (e.g.: tablet, etc.). Overall the user interface even on a desktop or laptop is bloated and difficult to navigate. Overall the inefficient design of the user interface impairs our ability to easily manage our clients and interactions with client shoppers. All kinds of reporting available, but we find many "canned" reports useless. When exporting a client list for contact purposes; either for general informational or food recall notification. You cannot just generate report the download/open results in Excel. Nope, we run the report in OASIS then wait for them to send us an email with a download link to access the Excel/CSV file. Really\! \*Lacking\* a mobile app. No kiosk mode with easy to use client intake form. At the price we pay per year both features should be available. > > An extremely labor intensive product to use for food pantry and client management. An Excel workbook is a cheaper solution and probably less complicated. This is coming from a database designer and user that almost never recommend Excel for this type of data application. We are looking for an alternate solution with 21st century user-interface, less bloated, easier to navigate, and generate reports. Don't fall for the starting at $20/month, it's more like starting at $60/month. ----- ### "The Oasis Overkill" — 4.0/5 > **Susan** | *2 November 2018* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like that it collects a bunch of data > > **Cons**: We hate that it collects a bunch of "mandatory data". We seriously despise the "creating a report" process, it's ridiculous. I have many volunteers who interface with this software and frankly, it's just overkill for us. It is not user friendly. We neither have the time or desire to enter the dependent of EVERY client we serve. We SHOULD have the option to enter a Number of dependents and list whether they are a child, adult, and senior. We were told we could not enter a child dependent as "child Smith" or "child Jones". As a user, we should be able to PICK AND CHOOSE which features/data we want to utilize/record in order to build a compelling story. Impoverished families are very NOMADIC. The move, change phone numbers, addresses, and roommates constantly. Every time we enter a client we have to edit all of this information. We have hundreds of new clients a year and I just don't have a need to KNOW the name of every person in their household\! Yet we HAVE to enter data in every single field, even if it's "prefers not to answer" which is just time-consuming and ridiculous for our needs. I anticipate a the beginning of the year we will no longer use Oasisinsight. It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to print out a report containing the barcodes of every client we have an ROI on. Impossible. We've yet been able to pull one correctly. Because of that, I've had to print off ID cards of every client and keep them in a notebook to scan. Do you have ANY idea > > Continued from above...do you have any idea how labor intensive it is to maintain up to date barcode ID cards on EVERY client we serve? It's a nightmare. We thought this would be a fantastic route to go down and we were VERY excited to be able to collect online signatures. AS it turns out, it's been a disaster and as soon as I can ditch this software for another (in the process of testing another method) we will. ----- ### "Easy to use software and convenient data download capability" — 5.0/5 > **Barbara** | *13 November 2018* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Data input is fast and easy, and being able to search for client records using a combination of various criteria (last name, first name, DOB, case \#, etc.) is very flexible. The option of easily downloading our client data to Excel is a great help for analysis and for completing grant requests that ask for client data sorted and grouped in various ways and within varying time frames. Report criteria can be saved for rerunning again at a later time, and can edited if needed. Because the software is web-based, I can sign in from home to do data input or run reports - super convenient\! Customer Service is fast, efficient and cheerful. I'm very pleased with the software and recommend it highly. > > **Cons**: The software is very functional and we don't have any complaints. > > We use Oasis Insight to track client data for a food pantry. We have thousands of clients and track their demographic data and their visits to the pantry using various categories (some of them are user-defined). We use the standard reports to retrieve the data for grant applications, our newsletter, and other purposes that come up from time to time. The software is absolutely critical to managing pantry client data and having reliable, verifiable data for grant applications. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/326156/oasis-insight?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/326156/oasis-insight) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
