With Salsa Engage & CRM sunsetting next year, we explore how Engaging Networks performs as an alternative for all your donor, supporter, and advocate digital engagement needs.
Engaging Networks & Salsa Labs Comparison
With Bonterra’s decision to sunset Salsa Engage and CRM, nonprofit organizations are being forced to either make the move to Bonterra’s EveryAction or look for suitable replacements.

Acquisition models like the one that is forcing the Salsa sunset at Bonterra create uncertainty and negatively impact nonprofits by forcing them into unwanted changes, often at a difficult time.
As a privately held company, Engaging Networks has been able to maintain the freedom focus on innovative products, and to give our clients the security of a stable platform for decades to come.

I've loved working with Engaging Networks from the very beginning when they launched in the states. From the day I Googled "Convio competitors" and cold called them, the staff has always been very responsive and eager to take feedback from my staff and clients, as well as feature requests to continue to advance the platform....

I use Engaging Networks everyday on behalf of nonprofit clients. I've used many such platforms and EN is the easiest to use, the most intuitive, the most open to user feedback and recommendations, and the easiest to talk to directly. No platform is perfect, but I believe EN has the best combination of features and support and I recommend EN regularly.

Engaging Networks is a must have for advocacy and fundraising - they provide everything you need out of the box, whilst also allowing for customisation. The staff are all super friendly and helpful too!

In the six years since I signed on as a client, I've seen the Engaging Networks platform grow while not straying too far from their core product, and doing so by respecting and listening to their customers.

Engaging Networks is one of the most powerful CRM's out there, but it does require some set up and training. The company as a whole is just different, it's filled with people who care about supporting non-profits and is still solely owned by the founder which means the company can stay true to its principles.

Engaging Networks is a fantastic solution to grow and integrate your advocacy, fundraising and email marketing. It’s a very sophisticated system with a learning curve, but they offer an easy interface with documentation and support that makes it possible to get the most out of it.

EN is a tech-forward platform that is extremely user friendly and flexible. And while we are tech agnostic, they are often in our list of finalists when helping clients think through their tech stacks.
