Considered Both Products
Goodworld
Chose Goodworld
We are a development team of about 8 people, located in different areas. We liked Goodworld because it was easy to use for all of us, each being in charge of our own event, but using the same information. It has a dashboard that will show overall numbers and statistics.
Chose Goodworld
Goodworld was the most user-friendly and streamlined platform with all the fundraising tools we were looking for PLUS CSR capabilities. The landing pages and campaigns integrated seamlessly with our website and have made it easier than ever to empower our Board, Corporate …
Chose Goodworld
Goodworld is by far the more superior product because it lets us be more proactive in implementing customized giving experiences, has a more powerful dashboard, and streamlines the giving process in a more modern interface. That's just the technology aspect - their team makes …
Chose Goodworld
When the pandemic hit, and we needed to move our annual fundraiser from in-person to online, our donor CRM at the time didn't offer the ability to easily create an aesthetically pleasing online campaign without additional HTML and design knowledge. We saw another organization …
Chose Goodworld
The biggest incentive for using Goodworld as opposed to other platforms is truly ease of use and branding ability. While the other platforms may have extra bells and whistles on the database management compared to Goodworld's current setup, These other programs make it …
Chose Goodworld
Much better, we hated our last CRM network it was antiquated and impossible to get ahold of anyone.
Chose Goodworld
We were not pleased with the customer support and ease of setting up events with Click and Pledge. Our donors are often called to make donations over the phone rather than use the C&P platform.
Chose Goodworld
Givelively had less functionality, and Mobile Cause seemed harder to navigate and more expensive but both seem fine

Chose Small Improvements
It's been so long since I've used another performance review software: SI is by far the easiest and most streamlined to use!

Previously we used Google Docs for 1-1 notes, but that gets clunky fast.
Chose Small Improvements
Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as Lattice …
Chose Small Improvements
I have not used products similar to Small Improvements; most of my progress tracking existed within Excel and Google Sheets.
Chose Small Improvements
While still far from perfect, Lattice has much stronger goal-setting and 1:1 features (see my list of areas for improvement above).

At another company, we put all OKR in Confluence and used Google Drive (specifically Google Docs) for 1:1 notes and performance evaluations. While …
Chose Small Improvements
We looked at ADP Workforce Now and Workday HCM but weren't bought into those platforms and it didn't make sense for us to use those alternatives to Small Improvements.
Chose Small Improvements
Small Improvements is less capable compared to the competing platforms I have used due it slow and outdated looking UI, feature set, and ease of use.
Chose Small Improvements
The only other thing I can compare to Small Improvements is just general internal review processes in organizations. I have never used a tool similar to Small Improvements, and think it's a great idea. I really love that my company uses it, and think I'll continue to use it in …

User Testimonials
GoodworldSmall Improvements
Likelihood to Recommend
I'd recommend the Goodworld platform for almost any scenario of online giving. It's definitely well suited for smaller grassroots organizations as it isn't cost-prohibitive, and helps get you up and running to process donations quickly. Their customer service has been great with fast response times and helping me get things sorted out quickly so there is not downtime for our front-end users. I'd say the only real challenge we experienced to date is regarding in-person events that need a point of purchase/donation swiper. For live events we still need to work out the particulars and I expect Goodworld will come up with a few options soon.

Small Improvements is well suited in any sector or organization given that it tracks employee performance, 1:1 meetings, employee recognition and so on. I've used other tools previously like ones built in-house, Excel spreadsheets and even competitors like Workday but Small Improvements is leaps ahead of those other tools in its ability to execute well on employee performance tracking, recognition and meetings.

Cons
  • I don’t really have any dislikes. The only time I have trouble with something is creating the appropriate graphics that work across all devices, especially mobile devices. It can be a bit cumbersome.

  • Being able to edit projects more easily (and have a documented edit history) would be beneficial.
  • Possibly integrations with popular platforms (such as JIRA) to give expanded detail of project tracking.
  • Gantt charts would be a nice to have for a top level management view.

The customer support is quick and thorough, they have access to our account to answers are tailored to our needs. They also have a good knowledge base and self-help site with some video tutorials and FAQs which saved us time as opposed to just calling or emailing support. For the times that we did reach out, it only took one response to get our issue resolved.

At another company, we put all OKR in Confluence and used Google Drive (specifically Google Docs) for 1:1 notes and performance evaluations. While it may seem cumbersome to conduct something like a performance review process via Google Docs, I appreciated the flexibility that it offered. I also still think that shared Google Doc is a perfectly fine tool for 1:1 notes (it even has assignable tasks now), and Confluence is a perfectly fine tool for defining OKR and tracking progress. Keep it simple (c).

  • Before we had Small Improvements, personal goal setting was completely disorganized. Some managers made sure it was done, likewise many did not.
  • Having past goals collected in one repository has been a blessing. I couldn't imagine not having Small Improvements or something comparable.
