The website was fairly easy to use and set up. > > **Cons**: The limitations were around organizing the information. My team was told more than once 'that's just what we can do'. It would be helpful if there were more options for uploading into DonorPerfect. The uploads were easy, having to go through and change all the entries because we were only allowed to select a couple of solicitation codes took a day to do between 2 people. > > Overall it was good - chat support was fantastic. Our guest survey showed most of our guests had no issue with the website the night of the event or making purchases prior to the event. We will most likely use again. ----- ### "Good to use if you already use DonorPerfect" — 3.0/5 > **Teresa** | *20 August 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is comprehensive and has lots of features. The integration with DonorPerfect cuts down on manual data entry. The chat support feature in the platform is very convenient though. > > **Cons**: The interface is very untuitive and not user-friendly for first time users. There's a steep learning curve for those setting up events for the first time. Refunds and adjustments are a hassle to do. > > Our org doesn't use RSA for auctions since we don't have them. Instead, we purchase the software as a service for the schools in the district to use for their fundraising. ----- ### "Mind blowing" — 5.0/5 > **Janine** | *7 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Just about EVERYTHING\! My company switched from Greater Giving to ReadySetAuction this year for our Fall Festival and Silent Auction and what a difference did it make. RSA saved me so much time this year, all I had to do was put the correct information in and the software did everything else for me (no more days of having to type the same information 3 different times in 3 different places). This software is EXTREMELY user friendly, their customer service is top notch and the price is right. Another benefit for me was it's compatible with DonorPerfect\! I would highly recommend this to anyone\! > > **Cons**: I really have no BIG complaints about this software. My only hiccup was that you can't have 2 packages with the same name (for instance, we do a silent auction of gift certificates and if you have 2 gift certificates for the same place and same amount but you want to separate them, you have to change the name of the second one slightly, even if that means just putting an extra space). > > Saved us time and money\! ----- ### "Made going "Virtual" easy\!" — 5.0/5 > **Dina** | *5 August 2020* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is easy to use from a auction standpoint and made having a mobile auction very easy\! I have used it once in a Live event experience (with a mobile auction) and once in a 100% virtual event environment. Great turnkey process for a mobile auction\! > > **Cons**: It is a little difficult on the Patrons to have them have to sign in and make a password every year. Many people ended up getting confused and making a duplicate profile with a different email. A link to the original profile for those that exist already with a "forgot password" option might be more streamlined. > > I love Ready, Set, Auction and have not only recommended it to many people but have also had many people who participated in my events ask me about it. I highly recommend the telephone customer service with the package. I honestly think that should just be added into the cost and included, because you can save yourself hours of stress and frustration with one quick call. Their phone customer service is very good. One thing I like most about RSA is that they are very responsive and if you have an idea or a request for a change, they are very likely to listen and actually change it\! That is rare. Much better than the systems I used to run events at much larger organizations. Money well spent. We eliminated the need to do a live auction AND a silent auction by putting all our big ticket items in a mobile auction\! ----- ### "Good software for simple events- not great for complex needs" — 4.0/5 > **Robin** | *26 October 2023* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the simplicity to get the auction page set up and running. I like that once users have logged in, they can fairly easily access the auction without issue. The structure of the website is set up in a way that makes sense to find the sections/data that we need. > > **Cons**: While I like the simplicity, there are some things that are too basic; like the design and features available. Setting up the pictures in the auction requires a URL to post the picture instead of just having it ready to upload. Many of our guests have had major issues trying to log back into their account during the events. While I recognize that it is mostly an individual user error, we have many elderly guests who get very frustrated quickly and it can make them avoid the auction altogether if they experience issues. We have also had credit cards not get saved to accounts, and then high bidders failed to pay for their winnings. > > Overall, I like the product. I feel like it does what I need as far as event auctions go. Unfortunately my organization decided to go with a different product that "does more" for their events. The biggest thing they were looking for is ways for guests to check-in online before the event and ensure that a card is saved on file. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/196653/readysetauction?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/196653/readysetauction) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
