What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Customer Service - and ease of use. The best customer service team I have ever encountered in more than 20 years of fundraising.

I’ve been in fundraising more than 20 years and have manages event with silent and live auctions for gatherings of 250 to 1500 – both onsite and virtual. I’ve used a few different software programs in that time, but Silent Auction Pro IS THE BEST. Not just for its ease of use – in that everything you need is within the software, but because of the customer service they provide before, during and after the event. Their team of support, from the initial training, to processing the winning bids, to the follow-up was phenomenal. I have never encountered a team so upbeat, so supportive, so understanding and so knowledgeable in my entire career. If you are looking for a platform on which to manage your silent or live auction – onsite or virtual – look no further. I highly recommend Silent Auction Pro as the perfect, low-cost, high quality software platform for any size auction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Silent Auction Pro is easy to use and has great customer service, someone always answers your call and knows the system better than you to give immediate direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

We needed to go online this year, so first time with that capability. We need more info on the online page, like item number, group number and better photo quality. Some people said they did not understand the "Bid for Me" option, so maybe more details in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Silent Auction Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can not have an auction with high quantity items without a program to help manage, we did in excel years ago and this is so much easier! The online version allowed us to still have our event, just on a smaller scale. It was more fun than I had imagined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

We had the best experience with Silent Auction Pro. Due to the pandemic we were forced to move our entire event to a virtual platform and that included our Foundation Auction. There was much concern over how this would work and if we could still be successful but the SAP team was there to support us every step of the way! 

We had looked at another company initially but when they did not answer the phone, it took them over 3 hours to call me back and I found out there was only one person on staff I knew we needed to look elsewhere. Silent Auction Pro took a very different approach, always answered my calls and was there for whatever I needed both day and night. Their assistance both before, during and after our event was top notch and crucial since a virtual auction was new to our entire team. I can't wait to work with them again for our future events! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

There are literally no downsides to using this company! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Silent Auction Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Silent Auction Pro helped us convert our in-person auction to a virtual auction due to the pandemic. Most of our attendees are not very tech savvy but SAP made the whole process very simple and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

SAP is well worth the cost for the robust database you are able to use for fundraising of all sorts.

The platform is stable and did not fail me. It is organized in a logical way and we are so many features to support your event.

The tutorials, videos, and event coaches are all at your fingertips. It is so comforting to have humans on the line to help you through every click and through the event night as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

I would like to be able to customize the pages in the future, but it is a nice to have not a need to have.

There are way more positives than negatives when it comes to SAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Stop - call Jim.

He is the architect and engineer of SAP. He is a really down to earth person who wants you to succeed in your quest for fundraising. if you are a small company - this product adds to your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Silent Auction Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to execute Virtual Auctions and leverage it to sell Artist works through the Buy it NOW functions.

SAP is secure and I don't have to fret over credit cards! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We again chose Silent Auction Pro because of their affordability and their customer support. Why pay thousands of dollars needlessly for software?
