Aplos vs. MoneyMinder

Aplos integrates with Bloomerang. It brings donations in as either individual or organization, but there is no name or account number associated with the transaction. When reconciling over 500 transactions each month, many at the same amount, it can be tedious to be sure I am reconciling the right transaction. Having the donor name associated with each transaction would be very helpful

Our role as treasurer changes every year, so having a tool that is so easy to use and has such great technical support will make the process of transitioning so much easier. Additionally, I am much more confident that the records are accurate. Live Chat is very helpful. Technical concerns and business options for how to best use MoneyMinder can be addressed by the support staff.

• In my experience, report filters don't always work like they should.
• Recent updates have made entering transactions more complicated for me, instead of easier.

• The set-up was a bit confusing until I figured out I could match the budget to the categories.
• I was intimidated by the idea of having to learn how to use a software program to fulfill my duties.
• "All I dislike about the budget tool is the graphic interface. I find the indentations of the categories, subcategories, etc. to be hard to read."

In my opinion, recent improvements have made working in Aplos more cumbersome, instead of easier. The new look seems less professional than the old look to me. I think there should be more options to have a default setting when starting some tasks, like opening a register.

In my experience, Aplos support used to be awesome...very quick responses and open to suggestions. I could even see my suggestions implemented from time to time. Now I get an answer, but it's usually 'that's how it is' and no solution. 'Improvements' are not improvements to me.

I think Aplos has better fund management.

When we switched Treasurers, there was a lack of consistency in how records were managed, and historical funds were misplaced. I could go on, but in a nutshell, it was a nightmare for records. Quickbooks is more difficult to understand and use. I also based in on reviews from other users compared to how they liked this software versus the other.
