The tiered pricing model is a huge plus—it allows us to pay exactly for what we need without getting locked into expensive features we won't use. > > **Cons**: The only significant downside I encountered was the data migration process. Getting our existing data into the system from our previous platform was a challenge. If you are starting from scratch, the setup is seamless, but be prepared for some friction if you are moving over a large database. > > The support team completely makes up for it. Specifically, \[sensitive content hidden\] was incredible during our training and onboarding. She helped us navigate the initial hurdles and ensured we knew exactly how to get the most out of the system. ----- ### "Hands down this is best volunteer software in the market." — 5.0/5 > **Toyosi** | *2 December 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of Use, Visually appealing, Easy to Customize, 24/7 Customer Service, Scheduling, Activity Tracking, DonorPerfect Integration, > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything honestly. The developers are pretty meticulous about making regular updates ----- ### "I LOVE Volunteer Local" — 5.0/5 > **Marcia** | *2 September 2021* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Over the years and with various organizations, I've used an array of volunteer sign-up programs. None come close to the user-friendly features of Volunteer Local (and a few were disasters\!). Also, outstanding customer service--professional, personable and prompt. > > **Cons**: There have been a few very minor points, but their staff always listens and makes efforts to improve the software for the next time around. > > Wonderful\! ----- ### "The self-service portal is so easy to use, and fits perfectly into the spirit of volunteering" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *20 July 2021* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most volunteers are simply looking for a way to give back to the community. And what is great about VolunteerLocal is that there is an integrated payment processing platform that allows volunteers to give more than just their time. And because it is presented as an auxiliary and optional feature, volunteers neither feel pressured to donate nor have to struggle to give if they want to. > > **Cons**: The reporting and analytics features are quite inadequate. And there should be an easily composed dashboard for quick progress updates to enable coordinators better update themselves with the state of affairs in real time. > > VolunteerLocal makes it possible for us to organize large numbers of people to participate in our programs in the shortest possible time. Because it allows applicants to broadcast their participation directly from the application to their social media pages, we are able to multiply our reach quite efficiently without any additional marketing costs. And the best part of all is that, volunteers can be given an option to contribute and make donations to the cause during registration or after they have completed their service. A win win for all\!\! ----- ### "Customer Service" — 4.0/5 > **Terri** | *23 July 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service is amazing\! I had some challenging items our volunteers were looking for on their profiles and \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team were able to customize them for us. > > **Cons**: Reporting was a little funky at first but I think we got everything fixed. > > From our sales person to the support team, everyone has been really great to work with. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/59946/volunteerlocal?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/59946/volunteerlocal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
