Considered Both Products
Arlo
Chose Arlo
Arlo is great for home office video monitoring. Meraki is more geared toward enterprise. Both work equally well for what they are designed for but Meraki has more advanced features that businesses might need.
Chose Arlo
Im still comparing and so far Synology is a better choice for its clarity and ease of use.
Chose Arlo
It came down to several business associates who provided a strong referral. I truly believe in networking and using the experiences of others to help avoid costly mistakes. Once the product arrived it was packaged well and contained very easy instructions. The products are …
OneCause
Chose OneCause
We absolutely love 4agood cause for day to day/peer to peer fundraising however, it just was not as robust when it came to event needs which required us to use outside software for those reasons. Givesmart was good, however a change in their packages required outside sourcing …
Chose OneCause
In our experience, OneCause has more lift on the front end than Greater Giving. Especially since, in my opinion, the registration for a live event isn't of the caliber that I've seen from GG. But, if you can handle the registration and use a third-party tool like GivingFuel or …
Chose OneCause
OneCause is the only auction platform we’ve used and it’s been a great experience. Based off research, OneCause is the leading fundraising platform.
Chose OneCause
As previously stated, no comparison. Customer service is above and beyond, user-friendly, technically sound, and funds available immediately.
Chose OneCause
I have not used any other products like this and don't plan to because OneCause has been so great.
Chose OneCause
We looked at Auctria and GiveSmart, though we didn't go into great detail with either. We ultimately selected OneCause based on the recommendation of another local school that used it for its auction software. The customer service and support as we made this decision and …
Chose OneCause
OneCause embarasses other platforms due to all that it can do and with the ease of use.
Chose OneCause
I personally never used Otego but it was more expensive then OneCause and it was a one night deal. With OneCause we get to keep the software all year and get to do more events/ auctions because of that.
Chose OneCause
OneCause is the best event software I've tried yet in terms of supporting a number of auction related features. Our event has very specific needs and OneCause seemed to check enough boxes to fit those needs. I do think in an ideal world we would use an auction/event software …
Chose OneCause
I have also used Bidding for Good -- a FrontStream product. The main reason I choose OneCause over the others is the customer service and the in-person staffing option. And you are focused on providing event-based services -- GiveSmart is trying to be everything and it's too …
Chose OneCause
Our use of Network for Good and OneCause are different, but as far as simply reviewing the interface, Network for Good is more simple to use.
Chose OneCause
OneCause surpasses them in several ways regarding usability and functionality both on the back end for administration as well as for donors on the external facing side. Sales team is also nicer
Chose OneCause
It is extremely user-friendly and generates great reports. We have utilized Donor Pro, which is not on your list.

User Testimonials
ArloOneCause
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Excellent for home security and monitoring in areas with strong WiFi signals.
  • Excellent for mounting cameras with a lot of mounting options.
  • Wireless is good with a long battery length before charging is needed.
If there is a weak WiFi signal like at a cabin or in remote areas it is less appropriate.

I'm not sure if it is because I have used it so much, but OneCause is the easiest self-explanatory event platform. After 15-20 minutes of use, anyone should be able to navigate at a basic level. It is very user-friendly, and I have been able to train volunteer staff effectively.

  • Customer service during planning phases- reps always get back to me to help answer my questions.
  • Event managers are always great to work with at our Gala. We really need someone to make sure the whole program runs well, and OneCause never disappoints.
  • Variety of events that we can use this for is awesome! No need for paypal, venmo, etc.
  • Mobile bidding has been a game changer for us. People can participate in our auction even if they cannot attend the event!

Cons
  • The camera battery life could be improved although it is pretty good.
  • Products are expensive.

  • Wanted to be able to manually add gifts to a fund appeal (at least in our package)
  • Wish we had the ability to add more polish to our auction page and scoreboard ourselves (not have to pay OneCause to do it for us)
  • Would like to have the set-up of a new event to be more intuitive.

We are a very small non-profit and are actually looking to use another service just to cut costs, but we may not stay with them and will coming running back to OneCause if we can't make the other option work! The ONLY reason to move would be to reduce the over-head cost of the platform.

Usability
No answers on this topic
I think that OneCause is a very intuitive, user-friendly platform on the non-profit user's side and also from the donor's perspective. They have created a software that is good for both mobile devices and desktop computers. The customization allowed for your campaigns is also incredible - you can make each fundraising website feel like a true extension of your non-profit

Support Rating
I have only had to contact them one time, and they were responsive and professional. It is difficult to give a rating on this unless you actually have an issue. This is the reason for a 9 out of 10. I can not give a perfect rating if I never had an opportunity to truly experience something.

The OneCause staff is knowledgeable and willing to assist. When we have had questions, they are quick to respond and provide assistance. Our assigned event manager each year has been very good about checking in with us to make sure planning is running smoothly. Additionally, the onsite team has always been friendly and helpful. They stay with us throughout the event to address any issues that may arise.

We hired OneCause to guide us through our first event after we signed up with them. The staff they sent were pros. They gave us professional guidance and support. Once we had been shown the ropes, we knew we could take the reins and confidently run our next event

Implementation Rating
No answers on this topic
I don't know if my insights are key but I can say that implementation was done in-house without any outside support for the solution. The staff influencing the solution had very little technical expertise and ability as well which showed just how easily the software was to implement.
