What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

It's extremely user friendly and there are a ton of tutorials if you forget something. The system easily connects with social channels and builds emails better than Mail Chimp. Since we have a donor list and an email list, this allows us simple ways to segment and manage all of the people in one area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

The email button to send an email directly to someone is a great feature. I'm also used to using Salsa, so it's user friendly in my opinion and easy to learn because there's limited functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

A lot of the emails that i sent out used to bounce. Lists seemed a bit inactive, and oftentimes mail would land in spam/ seem shady when coming from Salsa. I'd like to see better lists and emails land more often/ at a higher percent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

How to contact people using the same message at large/ in bult. has helped with GOTV, calls to action, and getting people an opportunity to advocate and get involved with our efforts in advocacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

I like the pinnacle purpose for this product: to match your fundraising goals and efforts directly with your online marketing tools (web, email marketing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

The software looks and acts dated, customer service is hit and miss, and it takes 4-5 steps to do things to Constant Contact’s 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salsa Engage:

I think Salsa has potential, but I think it needs to go through a brand refresh and modernize the user experience to be more like its competitors. If it does that, then I think it will be extremely useful! for nonprofit fundraisers and marketers alike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Less functionality, lots of software glitches. It’s capability to help fundraising is a big benefit, if they can nail the software down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

Salsa Engage's user interface is very intuitive. They have videos you can watch to help you learn various tasks, but even if you didn't want them, most people could figure out how to use the system. I also love that Salsa Support are so responsive and they actually listen to their customers. We've seen several of our suggestions put into practice by Salsa. I've worked with several CRMs over the years, and have never worked with such a responsive, helpful staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

The integration of Salsa Engage and Salsa CRM are not as seamless as one would hope. Sometimes Salsa identifies too many people as a duplicate or not recognize a duplicate at all. It makes for some messy data entry at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salsa Engage:

Think of the systems you are using for your online presence now and see if Salsa can help you merge several platforms into one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to have mobile-responsive, easy-to-use online fundraising solutions to engage our donors across various channels and mediums. We've increased event tickets sales, improved our open rates for donor emails, and organized our data for better donor engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

Our fundraisers found the peer-to-peer platform easy to use and loved that they received notifications each time a donation was made to their page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

One thing to be aware of is there are a lot of sections on events and peer-to-peer that will need customization, such as sign-up alerts and donation alerts, and confirmation pages. Plan on running a couple tests before launching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salsa Engage:

Salsa Engage allows you to create multiple donation pages that can easily align with your organization's branding and can walk a user through the donation process. Having the ability to add in additional questions really helps to get the information you want from donors easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of use and really been able to customize donation pages has been a great asset. The ability to schedule follow-up emails to donors is also an added perk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

Salsa Engage has robust online advocacy and fundraising tools. You can send emails to lawmakers, tweet at them or set up a call campaign. The targeting tools for email campaigns provides a host of options, from fundraising metrics to advocacy engagement. The design is all drag and drop and is easy to customize without needing to outsource the design to hard code HTML or layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

My biggest frustration is that some of the output of reporting for email metrics doesn't include conversion rates. You can look at conversions and conversion rates for each individual email but not at the macro level. The insights tool does provide opens, open rates, click throughs, click through rates, and donations for email campaigns for whatever time period the user wants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of our biggest challenges with our old tool was the design had to be set up with templates so if we wanted to A/B test a layout, we either needed our website manager to create or outsource the more complicated stuff. With Engage, we can set up multiple layouts for emails and landing pages to test out different layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

Once you learn how to do it, it's easy to create forms. I often start with one of the "assets" -- templates created by other users available for me to copy and customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

At this point, I can't say there's anything I dislike. We are a very small organization. I need more experience using the product before I can express what I feel needs improvement. I will say that it takes time to create forms and pages to look the way you want them to look...but that's true for any product that you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salsa Engage:

Take the time to watch the training videos. Participate in live training if it's offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted a tool that would interact with my CRM and help me with fundraising for my nonprofit organization. My requirement was a tool that would be easy to use, and not require programming skills. Thus far, we've used Salsa engage to do a fundraiser for our organization. We created a fundraising page that had a nice feel and design. I liked that the information from the donors who supported the event went directly into our CRM. This saves us time because we don't have to import the records from a 3rd party.

What do you like best about Salsa Engage?

Salsa does the basics of email marketing. It also connects to Salsa CRM, which allows us to connect fundraising and email marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salsa Engage?

Salsa Engage can be difficult to work with. When you "save" things, there are multiple save buttons, and so sometimes you think you've saved something and it hasn't saved. Also, not as easy to use to create visually engaging. When we switched to Salsa Engage, we were told that they would be adding more functionality but not much as been added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salsa Engage:

I would recommend to look at MailChimp of My Emma as alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salsa Engage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connecting email marketing to fundraising. Also, we have automated email sign-up forms which has been helpful. You can also schedule emails to go out at a specific time, and see clear analytics on each email send, including open rate, click through rate, etc. - the basics.
