## Reviews

### "BBCRM Review" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *29 August 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and how it has everything we need shown there at our finger tips.
> 
> **Cons**: Integration was hard for new users but that is to be expected

-----

### "Not intuitive" — 4.0/5

> **Glynis** | *27 January 2021* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Honestly, I cannot think of any pros at this time.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing about Luminate Online is intuitive.  It does not integrate well with other Blackbaud products. We have had to purchase other third-party software to send information between Altru and Luminate.
> 
> We use it for transactional and reminder emails for registered programs, and marketing emails.

### "BB LO is what is available" — 3.0/5

> **Tatiana** | *22 July 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is integrated with Blackbaud products.
> 
> **Cons**: - Repetative steps at times which can lead youi in circles
> 
> I would say my experience has been nuetral...not particularly great but also not horrible

-----

### "Easy to use without a programmer, but much better with programming experience." — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *18 July 2017* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very robust software with a ton of features built in. It requires some initial training to get started but once you get the hang of it, figuring out all the menus and features gets easier.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface can be clunky at times. Some things require navigating multiple menus and clicking multiple times to complete a task. But overall the functionality is incredible.
> 
> The biggest thing I've been using this for lately is event registration and management. Without this product we wouldn't be able to pilot the programs we're piloting right now.

-----

### "Great product with a lot of potential" — 4.0/5

> **Shaun** | *23 November 2015* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The flexibility and the integration are the best parts.
> 
> **Cons**: Blackbaud has acquired a lot of products over the years and even though integration is happening, your needs may be slower at integration than others.
