What do you like best about CiviCRM?
I love that I can create forms for people to sign up (like to volunteer for an organization), can have both free and paid events, can do mass email without extra costs, and can even do memberships (free and paid). If you have an organization where you have employees/volunteers contacting people, you can even keep track of all of that on their record; This allows the next person to know who spoke with them last, what was discussed, if you missed them and left a message, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
Sometimes upgrading can be difficult and you end up having to start with a fresh database and import in all your SQL. I also run into issues sometimes and find it difficult to get support for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
The ability to scale your database size and user base without negative cost implications. We have over a million records and hundreds of users each month. It's solid from the start, and customizing can be done with the help of the CiviCRM community and the vast extensions available. Search Kit + Form Builder provides a powerful unified UI for searching and reporting, making your CiviCRM data more usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
An implementation could be overwhelming if your organization lacks a clear view of what it wants. There are multiple ways to approach a solution in Civi, so working with a partner is best to get your implementation off right. You will need to find proper VPS hosting as it is resource intensive.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
It's great that it's free and if you know what you're doing I imagine the open-source piece is a benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
it's not the most user-friendly. You would need someone on your team who knows what they are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
I guess it goes without saying but it does work as a CRM. It helps keep track of our customer base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
It's confusing to use, not intuitive, doesn't easily do things I'd expect like automated emails. Don't get me wrong, it'll do them but it takes a lot of setup work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
CiviCRM is open source and therefore has a far lower total cost of ownership for medium sized organisations then equivalent CRMs and case management tools. One of most powerful points is its deep integration with Drupal, Wordpress and Joomla allowing you to create integrated CRM and websites at a far lower cost then other fundraising database alternatives.

What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
Civi can be a "jack of all trades" so sometimes the online demo can be a bit scary for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
It's got a lot of features so you can see a whole range of information about your contacts but the membership component just works really well "out of the box" and integrated with a Drupal website can make the whole member portal thing really easy to manage.

What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
Setting up different layouts for different user roles can be a bit fiddly and needs some careful thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
CiviEvents and memberships takes the spotlight including the possibility to use Discounts and all these are modular services. I love the fact that you can create custom fields without diving in too much to the backend. CiviMail, Scheduled Jobs, Reports are a few more great features to mention. also, I love creating custom forms via profiles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
There are a few improvement points I would like to mention
1) User Experience / User Interface
This is one area Civi really needs to really focus on. User Interfaces have come along way during the last few years and Civi has not kept up to date with this. If this is not addressed ASAP CIVI won't have a future
2) Database Design
Custom Fields in the Database saves the relationships as a comma-separated record. This stops us from using CiviCRM as a Data Layer or a complete backend due to the issues of removing commas. Otherwise, CiviCRM can be a great tool for complete backends.
3)Marketing and PR needs to follow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CiviCRM?
1) It offers good UI, easy to use for admins.
2) Good functionality/features like mailings, membership, contribution, etc.
3) Handles loads of data eg. I have more than 200 thousand contacts in the database of one of my client.
4) Nice package as a open source system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about CiviCRM?
1) It needs a good technical person/people to manage it in long run. I speak here about upgrades, you may need a technical person to perform upgrades.
2) If you have a lot of custom development, the development and upgrades need a skilled developer as civicrm has it's own way of doing stuff
3) Few internal apis are not generalized and break (this is at a technical level and the developer have to use workaround with that) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
