What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

The support that SAP provides is so great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Configuring the merchant account(s) can take a little longer because you have to work with a 3rd party. However, you will find this with any other bidding program. It is not exclusive to SAP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Take the time to set up the software on the front end, so it can work for you on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use SAP for a charity event. We used to use the paper method and check out was a nightmare. SAP has streamlined our checkout process. Another specific benefit is the ability for users to add an additional donation if desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

The Silent Auction Pro team thinks of everything for you! As an elementary school auction co-chair, with a full-time job and two kiddos . . . putting on a school auction is a huge undertaking, and not my primary area of expertise, obviously! Silent Auction Pro has helped us transition from a paper only auction to a mobile bidding auction over the past several years. Their customer support is stellar. Always available to walk me through any question and figure out even the smallest question or concern. Their staff even searched for any potential problems the week of auction, found one and fixed it for me! They also helped trouble shoot bidder issues that popped up at the last minute. Truly excellent customer service! AND, their pricing is very competitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

There is nothing in particular I dislike about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Silent Auction Pro was a huge help for our nonprofit auction. Reasonably priced, with outstanding customer service! 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 transition from a paper based to a mobile bidding auction seamlessly - saving time and increasing profit! Our customers were huge fans of the mobile bidding, and the ability to check themselves out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

The only reason our event was a such a HUGE success for us was Silent Auction Pro. You all provide great assistance and information to run an event. I have been extremely impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of your entire staff. Vantiv was an easy setup for the payment processing.

The thing we loved about SAP was the online and mobile bidding. Online and mobile bidding increased our revenue by nearly 200%. The system is so easy to manage, setup, and use... it is just crazy. The customer service is second to none.

Truly, a must for any auction...

If you wanna take your event to the next level, SAP is the way to go!

We love it and are sticking with SAP from here on out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

There is nothing to dislike! As with any software, you must spend some time to get familiar with the system. Great customer service was there at every phone call of every minute before, during, and after the event! Service second to none! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

GET IT! You won't be disappointed!

Use every option they have including the online/mobile bidding!

It will take your event to the next level! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Streamlining checkout at our event. This was huge! People just checked out and paid as soon as the auction was over via their phones! NO MORE LONG LINES AT CHECKOUT AND NO MORE PAPER! A HUGE SUCCESS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

The customer service rep assigned to my case was FANTASTIC - in fact, she reached out to me more than I had to reach out to her. Whether I had a quick easy question or a BIG confusing question, I also felt more confident after talking to her. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

The only drawback, and it isn't even really a drawback, is that the software can do SO much that I didn't even take advantage of. I am hoping that after learning the basics this time around, I can dig a little deeper next year and use more of the reports and functions that are available to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Use the free trial option and really play around to learn all that is available with the software. And take advantage of the customer rep assigned to you - Becca was the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Safe & secure place to store and update contact information. Easy reports. Easy bid sheets. Streamlined check in and check out process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Reports are easy and accurate, registration & silent auction check out are a breeze. Support staff is knowledgeable and available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

I wish there were an annual membership, easier data share to Raiser's Edge, and either an app or a way to text bidders a link with their info and card on file without having to have them create/remember login info and re-enter CC info. However, SAP team is great with feedback and constantly making improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Consider the potential savings using the entire event management software and ticket sales through the product as CC merchant fees are incredibly competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Increase in # of bids/people bidder on auction items. Ability to recall and store event trends and data which is incredibly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

I really liked the communication features. I was able to send text reminders and custom thank you's to bidders and donors easily! It was so simple to customize a personalized message to all those who contributed to the auction without having to re-collect, organize and merge their contact information. I also LOVED how simple the check out process is. Our team used only the mobile bidding aspect of the software and the bidding and checkout process was extremely simple and streamline for myself and the bidders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

I was provided with the winning bid information, however there wasn't any documentation on the additional donations provided by bidders at checkout. For example, a bidder may have won an item at $50 but at check out donated an additional $20. That additional $20 wasn't indicated on any report that I found and had to manually subtract my Paypal income with each transaction to make sure that money was accounted for and documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

I had a great experience! This was the first year that they offered PayPal as a processor and will admittedly say that I struggled immensely to get it set up/synced with my Silent Auction Pro account. I was one of the first few customers to attempt utilizing it and was hopefully able to help trouble shoot some issues for customers to come. However, once I did get my account finalized it was a total breeze and once it's set up you don't ever have to do it again! Every question I had the team was right there to help and provided fantastic support even as I became frustrated. My advice would be to give yourself plenty of time to set up and test your PayPal account prior to your launch date. Despite my initial struggle, I'll be using PayPal again so don't be discouraged from giving it a try! 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 to continue to raise money in a fun, hands on way that didn't involve mail/email solicitations. It helped me realize, or rather confirm, that people seem to be more willing to give if they're gaining something in return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish our contact list would be archived and able to start fresh each year as an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our biggest fundraiser is a silent auction event. We raised more money once we switched to SAP and people were able to bid even if they weren’t able to attend. It is very helpful to be able to go back and see who won certain items the year before and what they went for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

SAP allows a small group of people to organize a complicated auction. The ability to enter donations, create spreadsheets to ensure all donations are accounted for, print bid sheets and analyze the data is so valuable. We started our auctions years ago using a spreadsheet, and mail merge to create bid sheets. We had no online presence so unless you came to our site you couldn't bid on our donations. Use of SAP changed everything, check out is now so much faster and easier and we reach a lot more people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Sometime spreadsheets get a little quirky when you have grouped donations into one auction item or have long descriptions. Very minor item though and easy to fix once you download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Great tool, priced good. We are able to reach more people and therefore raise more money for our non-profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are doing fund raising for non-profit organization. We have been able to reach more people, have better quality and offer better experience for the auction workers and participants alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

This was the first time to use Silent Auction Pro and I was reluctant to change from our previous method. The Support Staff from Silent Auction Pro was very helpful and spoke in Layman's terms when explaining the features and how to do something. I called several times and only needed to leave a message once. Someone answered almost every time. The Videos are outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Nothing to cause me to change software, but I don't like that contacts don't renumber for subsequent events. That is, Mr. 101 will always be Mr. 101 at all of our events. This will create holes in prepared number sequences that will cause extra work for the organizers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Take advantage of their personal on line live demonstration for your group. Watch the training videos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our prior events depended on little blue thingies plugged into cell phones for credit card transactions. That method is totally useless in my opinion, plus we were not able to keep credit cards on file during the event. Silent Auction Pro and their merchant vendors solved that in a way that made the event less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
