What do you like best about Keela?

It's a nice system to organize your donations logging needs. Very user friendly; easy to learn. We use it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keela?

That you have to work on every single donations one by one. If I needed to make the same changes to X amount of logs, it takes very long to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keela solving and how is that benefiting you?

There needs to be a way to log and organize donations as it comes in, keela helps keep track of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keela?

All contacts in one database is a HUGE advantage. Having communications integrated into the software is a must-have tool to be effective in fundraising. Integrated automation workflows is also a feature we have LOVED. Keela is one of the most affordable donor software we were able to find with integrated communications. It is very user-friendly. We have around 6,000 contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keela?

Not being able to pick up the phone and talk to support is annoying. You have to schedule phone calls or otherwise submit an email request.

The system typically has a lag-time when clicking from screen to screen.

When logging cash/check donations, there is no batch entry option. You can import a file, but sometimes the file import can take hours, so you can't have any plans that day for the imported data.

Sometimes the features can be a little buggie. For instance, the system can't identify new contacts vs. donors for some reason, even though the filter is available.

There are no filters for last donation date or street address which has been annoying.

The built-in email communications can be a little restrictive and unpredictable. Not nearly as many features as constant contact or mail chimp, but we have made it work becasue it totally pays off to have communications integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keela solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all of our contacts in a single database solves the problems that come with siloed data. Having integrated email communications really opens the door for more specific segmentation and effectiveness tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keela?

Downside is the flexibility of designing email templates. It would be great to be able to design templates through external apps such as Canva and then import them in! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keela solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me keep track of donations, donor info and email marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keela?

The 3 hour time difference can be frusterating if I'm needing help right away, but I usually try to plan ahead now so that it doesn't become an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keela solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking donations and donor stewardship. Accepting donations and being able to run reports to see where our efforts are paying off or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keela?

Keela has robust functionality built in from the start (email marketing, donor management, payment processing, memberships, event registration). Not having to research and integrate other products allows for a streamlined process and helped our small team learn a system fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keela?

Because Keela does so much, it unfortunately means some functionality suffers. For example, when scrolling through dozens of pages of donors, you have to click through page by page...you cannot simply select a page number. Furthermore, when you select a donor on, say page 7, when you select "back" you are taken back to page 1 and must select "next" 6 more times to get back to page 7. This is a small annoyance when it happens once, but if you're in your CRM for a few hours and have to do this multiple times, it's a serious flaw. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keela solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everything in one place (email marketing, donor management, payment processor, event registration, reporting) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
