SAP has everything needed for an auction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Editor for notes is limited without the ability to style or include images and format like in MS Word or similar program. It would be great if you could do more than a basic email editor to create donor letters or thank you notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Silent Auction Pro is thorough and makes setting up an auction easy. The reports are very useful and their customer support team are incredible, timely and so happy to help at any time of day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used it for our annual Gala auction -- ticket sales, check-in and check-out, reporting. Effortless check-in and check-out and follow-up collections. Nice also to have history from previous years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Customer support! Even during our event! So easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

There is nothing to dislike! This made our lives so much easier than the previous years of doing everything by hand, using Excel spreadsheets for everything from items donated, dinner tickets sold/reservations, calculating winning bidders and their multiple items by hand, etc. Thank you Silent Auction Pro! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Don't hesitate to use this software. Excellent customer support; excellent tutorials online. Using this software is EASY! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've been doing our Silent Auction event for years on our own without any support software. What were we thinking? This is awesome software, made our lives so much easier with the ease of bundling donated items, calculating winning bid sheets is no longer necessary, adding Fund-A-Need donations was a breeze, and check-out was painless! Silent Auction Pro is a no-brainer. Well worth the money spent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes awhile to get used to the system, but that changed as we began to understand more about how it was set up and understand the terminology used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Checking in and out for all attendees. High use of Bidding and reporting. Ease of use entering donations and creating Auction items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

I 100% recommend this tool for small to large non-profit foundations/Organizations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem we had at all of our events was the Checkin process and checkout process. Both were easy to resolve with Silent Auction Pro (SAP). Another common issue we had was the ability to grab more bids per item. We found a major increase in bidding with SAP. Along with this tool, we are now able to see what and who donated items as in the past we were not able to track this. Having the ability to now see the percent return on auction items which we never had before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Really appreciated the modular options and the simplicity with how they describe the benefits of each module. Interface was nice, simple and mostly intuitive. Wasn't afraid to "click around" and get to know the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

There were very few hiccups for us. There were just a couple of workflow pieces that weren't fully explained on their help support but the team replied so quickly to my email queries that it never slowed us down! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Such a reasonable price for super customer service and ease of use. They truly "rooted" for us in the days leading up to our event and stayed in contact throughout. I emailed many questions in the weeks leading up to our auction and they never wavered in their timely responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a silent auction as part of a large public two-day art festival. Using mobile bidding made perfect sense since guests only walked through the silent auction area as they entered the festival. Going mobile allowed them to make additional bids without the need to return to check the bid sheet. Not all guests embraced going mobile, but the percentage of multiple bids per item skyrocketed.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

Silent Auction Pro is a full featured auction and ticket software that is easy to learn and easy to use. The instructions in the Help section are very thorough. When I had questions, I was able to reach someone right away, and whomever I spoke with was very helpful. An event agent called me the day before and the day of the event, to help with any last minute issues. Although the front end interface is not fancy, our guests found the site easy to use. Silent Auction Pro offered the best, most economical price structure of all the Auction Software, and I did a lengthy comparison in a spreadsheet of all the auction software out there. (Since we are a non-profit, we want to make the best use of our donor funds.)

I was able to get full reports and all the information I needed about our ticket purchasers and on our event auction from SAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

The front end interface, what our ticket purchasers see, is not as visually appealing as I would like. But this is a minor criticism. I was very pleased with this software and will use it again for our next event. I also feel confident that I can easily teach it to others in our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

I highly recommend Silent Auction Pro for any non-profit who needs hand holding with set up, and who is watching their pennies, but needs a full featured software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed full featured auction and ticketing software for our fundraising event, but most of the software out there was very pricey. Some wanted way too high a percentage of funds raised. Some software was less expensive but did not have all the features we needed. Silent Auction Pro was easy to use, priced right, and full featured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to use, the users liked it and found it easy to use, and it helped our organization improve the results of our fund raising event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Nothing. The customer support for Silent Auction Pro was especially outstanding, which is a critical component of such a product and paramount for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

I highly recommend Silent Auction Pro to any organization, large or small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our biggest benefit was the streamlining and improvements to the checkout process at our fund raising event. It also made check-in easier, improved the collection of funds for fund-a-need donations, and improved the overall revenue receipts for the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

I like the ease of the bidding, once you are bidding, you are notified when you are outbid, you can also do a "maximum" and the system will bid for you until that maximum is met, then you are notified via text or email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

I wish it had an app... The mobile site works ok, but having to go to your browser and login can be cumbersome at times, I feel if there was an app, that would be best and most efficient, easiest to access quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silent Auction Pro:

Set up automatic texts and test them out before the event. Our system had a glitch that could not really be explained to me. This was a bit frustrating when I set them all up ahead of time and was depending on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have raised money for technology enhancements in our Preschool-Grade 12 school as well as professional development for our faculty/staff so those benefits are far reaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silent Auction Pro?

It was great switching to this cloud-based tool so our whole team could use it. Our event guests raved about the fast checkout lines since we used the integrated credit card swiping feature. The customer support was fabulous. The help pages are very thorough and all of my questions and concerns were addressed very quickly - often within and hour. We raised more money at our event this year and any of our past 11 events, so it was a great investment! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silent Auction Pro?

Some of the exports, reports, and templates are not as customizable as I would like, but certainly very usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We switched to Silent Auction Pro because we wanted a networked tool with Online Auction capability and integrated credit card features. Everything ran very smoothly. Out guests were impressed with the look of the online auction and the ease (and short lines) of check-out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
