Its key features include messaging, commenting, social engagement, forms management and advocate management. The application comes with a module that enables advocates to send emails, faxes or letters to the legislators and dispatch pre-crafted letters to local media organizations. Teams can use the phone call functionality to call legislators manually or via patch-through calling. The solution lets advocates sign petitions and post comments on regulatory forms. Users can send targeted messages to legislators based on factors such as vote position, bill co-sponsorships, committee lists and more. Congress Plus Advocacy includes a directory, which provides advocates' information on legislators. It enables managers to connect with advocates via email and text messages and collect information about their relationship with legislators. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 16 users.

The software is user friendly and intuitive, which makes it simple to train new staff. There are endless customization tools which makes the software nimble and adaptable to our organizations need. There are also regular updates being made to the software, and in the case that there is a feature we'd like, the team is always willing to build out software capacity where they're able. > > **Cons**: The interface is simple, which might not appeal to others. For our purposes, it's perfect\! > > The customer service is best in the business. The team is immediately responsive to requests for assistance, and makes themselves readily available for the occasional training. Overall, working with the Congress Plus Advocacy software and company at large has been great, and I would recommend the software to any organization considering it\! ----- ### "Excellent Advocacy Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Brittany** | *26 June 2019* | Public Policy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Congress Plus is able to handle all aspects of our advocacy program needs, in one place. We have a scorecard, manage constituents, and create and send actions, all in one platform. > > **Cons**: Some features were not included, however, the Soft Edge has been great about listening to our needs and adding new features when possible. Sometimes the platform is clunky, or customers have trouble completing actions compared to other platforms, though, seeing as the information needed to successfully contact legislators, we feel that priority outweighs this. > > Congress Plus allows us to spend more time focusing on our advocacy campaigns than worrying about the logistics behind getting our messaging out. The support team at The Soft Edge has been beyond helpful, answering any questions, always available for tutorials, and adding features that we request to future updates. Having a team that listens to your concerns, and grows from them, is so beneficial. ----- ### "Does the job" — 3.0/5 > **Katy** | *7 June 2017* > > **Pros**: Does the job fine. It's easy enough to set up and is easy enough for the user. Great customer support, in my experience. > > **Cons**: Looks a little crude. It is challenging to collect multiple actions from one computer at an on-site event. The cookies remember the individuals and you have to reset the browser, which is not user-friendly. ----- ### "Lots of bang for the Buck" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *25 March 2022* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to set up and use. It was also easy to track which of our members were contacting which legislators. It could be set up so that an entire membership could contact the members of a specific committee regardless of whether or not those members lived in those legislators districts. > > **Cons**: I really can't say anything bad about this platform. > > I was looking for a good platform for a client with a small budget. Voter Voice and Quorum were not an option. I evaluated a couple of other platforms, but Congress Plus came out on top. It had a lot of versatility, was easy to use, and their customer service was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, easy to use platform without a bunch of unneeded frills. ----- ### "User-friendly and a great addition to our advocacy day" — 5.0/5 > **Miranda** | *15 June 2023* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is very easy to use, for both back-end users and our volunteers. It greatly simplified our advocacy day by allowing us to make real-time changes in one central location, rather than across dozens of spreadsheets. The ability to quickly and easily communicate with volunteers was fantastic, and the volunteers liked the ease of accessing their schedules and updates on their devices. Customer support is responsive and helpful. For Calls To Action, it provides a seamless, easy way to connect advocates to their legislators. > > **Cons**: The only feature it lacked on the fly-in manager was the ability to, after assigning volunteers to groups for our advocacy day, then assign the groups to the meetings; HOWEVER, SoftEdge has now implemented that feature and it will be very useful for our next fly-in. > > The fly-in manager saved so much time and headache in keeping the event organized. It provides a professional, user-friendly experience for our volunteers and keeps track of exactly the information we need. We have not yet used it to its full capability and look forward to continuing to utilize it as we grow this program. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/84339/congress-plus-advocacy?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/84339/congress-plus-advocacy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
