Trail Blazer Campaign Manager Reviews & Product Details

I like that with Trail Blazer, I can have any and all information I might need all on one program and at the click of a button. Trail Blazer is understandable and fairly easy to teach to colleagues. Trail Blazer allows for different departments and those working on different projects to form some level of collaboration to streamline our ability to achieve goals and meet time-centered deadlines. Trail Blazer also allows for a lot of data to be stored per file so that the team can get as general or as specific as we want when classifying, arranging, attributing, and, eventually, pulling data to use. I also appreciate how helpful the Trail Blazer staff is. There are very helpful tools online and when I send emails with questions, a representative always responds to me in a timely manner.

The downside of using Trail Blazer is that there is a lot of information and it can be overwhelming for those that have never dealt with a program of this sort before. Trail Blazer could also, in my opinion, streamline some of it's functions to make it easier and less time consuming for the user. Trail Blazer is somewhat outdated and it is very easy for data to become jumbled or unorganized if multiple people are all entering different sets. Trail Blazer also has a tendency to slow down when using it for long periods of time, which is not sustainable for staff that use this program for the majority of their 9-5, 7 day a week work time.

The customer support is exceptional. They made the process of becoming familiar with the software very manageable. The online Knowledge base, Learning Academy and YouTube channel are invaluable tools for learning more on your own at your own pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When importing voter history into our database, we were limited in the number of elections we could import into the software. It's not a major issue, but it is an inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The organization of the database has really helped us manage the donors and voters used in order to get our candidates elected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little glitchy at times. The email program is basic and the UX is a little challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful part of the program is having the ability to organize and code information. Its is very useful when looking up how much a particular event raised. This helps us tremendously when it comes to tracking fundraising totals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is not very compatible with Mac. I had to download microsoft remote to use and sometimes the program will freeze. This is frustrating when I am trying to work quickly. I work primarily off my Mac laptop, so having to constantly go through microsoft remote is annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create “favorites” lists, which enables you to quickly switch back and forth between different views, is very helpful. Additionally, the individual voter search is seamless and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside is the lack of integration with Apple computers and laptops. It makes no sense that Trailblazer wouldn’t allow for this. Instead, I have to use a Microsoft app to access it, which is very cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to run a fully comprehensive campaign through one system while controlling the data that we put in makes Trailblazer our go to source for campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only potential downside is that this is a PC installation, but their mobile app and Remote Desktop makes up for this limitation pretty well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trailblazer allows you to add notes and attachments to different persons in your network. You can pull a list of people based on tags you assign. Really the greatest part is being able to identify how much contact you've had with a colleague. In my line of work a person can have many issues they want to advocate to our office. This software allows us to stay organized with each person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service by the company is excellent. And the intuitive nature of the program makes entry very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
