Excellent Customer Service Date: May 17 2024
Summary: Overall a great experience during a last minute fire drill. My coach Christina walked me through everything and took several calls from me.
Positive: Christina at Silent Auction Pro saved my bacon in a last minute situation where I had to take on a lot of our silent auction details unexpectedly! She walked me through everything I needed to do to prep for my event during crunch time! SAP has a ton of features that help your event run smoothly!
Negative: Nothing bad to say here. The software is pretty robust and if you get overwhelmed just call your coach and they will walk you through it!

Wonderful Product! Date: Apr 20 2022
Summary: Everything went great. It looked great. The cost was great. I had a wonderful experience. This takes a lot of worry off me since I will be using it for many years to come for future auctions. I am very happy with my choice to leave the old company and switch to Silent Auction Pro.
Positive: It was very easy to use. When it came time to go live with our auction everything worked perfectly. If I had questions, I could easily reach my contact and she walked me through everything. Great experience!
Negative: I can't think of anything that I did not like about it. We switched from another company we had used for 8 years. Silent Auction Pro is night and day better and easier than the other company we had used.

Silent Auction Pro is AMAZING! Date: Apr 20 2022
Summary: Lake Highlands Elementary in Dallas has been a client of SAP since 2014. I joined the LHE Auction Team in 2019, and Jim and his Team have been amazing partners throughout my journey of Auction Co-Chair. My role was to learn the software and implement all initiatives through this online platform. Amazing updates have been implemented, even during a pandemic, and they continue to improve the offering. In the end, it is the support staff that makes this product superior. Problems are solved instantly, and when you have tired-head, they get in the trenches with you.
Thanks, Jim and Team at SAP for all you do!Positive: Ease of use, customer service and overall great product! The customer service was key for us. We are a public school in Dallas with all volunteer team. We needed help learning and navigating the system and their team were always available and ready to help.
Negative: Some of the features are not as customizable as we would like, but Jim and his team have taken out feedback each and every year. They are constantly updating the system for a better administrator and end-user experience.

Easy to Use Date: Apr 11 2022
Summary: Our organization (.org) used the auction bidding function only. The other volunteer and I completed the event with less than 1 week of experience on this software! It was easy to use and work through. We were entered items prior to auction day but the majority of action within a 24 hour period; checking in items, placing items in section closes, check out, and reporting. I want to place emphasis the ease of the "check out process". I highly recommend Silent Auction Pro!
Positive: Flexibility in changing auction type.
Setting different section closes!
Text or email notifications for participants on bidding, section closes, and receiving their invoice.
Check out! Easiest check out method that I have experienced!Negative: Additional overall reporting extracts.

Our organization used the "tag" field as the main sorting method and I could not find a clean report to download and complete my analysis. Post auction a company representative called and address my concerns providing me with the solution. Thank You! -

Best Auction Software Out There Date: Apr 07 2022
Summary: Great, simply great. The product is outstanding, and the customer service is beyond compare. They are always adding things and updating. They are on top of clients needs.
Positive: Easy to use, intuitive, helps with every part of the auction. Even more important, the customer service is second to none. Always helpful, very responsive when you call or email, and the first person you talk to actually knows how to help you! Can't say enough great things about Silent Auction Pro.
Negative: Long ago, when I first started, it took awhile to learn how to set up the bid sheets to make the most sense. After that, it's a breeze! Can't think of another thing that I don't like in the present time.

First experience with auction software Date: Jan 07 2022
Summary: Extraordinary. I've worked with other SaaS companies and Silent Auction Pro was by far the easiest and helped us have a successful auction!
Positive: Lots of options! While not quite intuitive, once I had a bit of experience with the software, it was simple enough to navigate! I did not even get close to using all the options they offer but it certainly accomplished my goals easily.
Negative: Sometimes had difficulty finding what I needed but my "coach" always pointed me in the right direction quickly.

Silent Auction Pro is GREAT! Date: Nov 17 2021
Summary: Silent Auction Pro was a lifesaver to managing our largest fundraising event. The system is user friendly and gives detailed reports for all aspects of the event. I love Silent Auction Pro!
Positive: Silent Auction Pro helped manage all aspects of our fundraising event (ticket sales, silent auction management, live auction management, raffle sales, Paddle-Raise funds, etc.
The customer support team is fantastic and was always extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful!!Negative: We had some struggles with getting our guests to log in to their account before the event took place. This is not by fault of the software though.

Great team easy to work with. Date: Jul 07 2021
Summary: Very good. they were great to work with. No fee surprises or anything of that nature. I'd look at the texting version too, as it is very strong.
Positive: Easy to promote, links worked and easy to understand. The team did a great job of making sure you had it done right.
Negative: We had a rush to get it ready, but you're better off reviewing it as you'll want to use it over and over. Give yourself time to understand it all.

Don't go anywhere else but Silent Auction Pro! Date: Jun 21 2021
Summary: Silent Auction Pro was originally seen as a risk for our association. We normally only have 30-40 items, so the fixed cost was a concern of our Executive team. (Even though the Silent Auction Pro flat fee was 1/3 of others we got quotes from.)
Here is the reader’s digest version:
- We set records with number of items: 62
- We set a record of dollars raised: 4225Positive: - Entering the donors and donated items was easy and efficient
- We had noting but glowing responses from the bidders on the ease of use!
- Our close out took minutes in stead of an hour and we saved many man hours not having to process each payment individually
- Our net dollars raised also exceeded our goal and our previous record (when manually processing)
- The Training and Support from the beginning to the very end, exceeded our expectations
o YOU WILL BE AMAZED!Negative: None that we could see. We had several team members using it from our board, and no one had any issues.

Excellent Customer Service Date: Jun 01 2021
Summary: Overall, we're very pleased with Silent Auction Pro and during a pandemic, we had our most successful Auction yet!
Positive: Silent Auction Pro was very, very impressive with their customer service. Each and every time we needed something, they were responsive, fast-acting, and most impressive- proactive at times. There was one example that sticks out most clearly in which Silent Auction Pro reached out for an issue they saw on our end, worked beyond their normal 9-5, and made sure everything was buttoned-up perfectly to ensure a successful Auction.
Negative: The backend User Interface isn't always the prettiest or most understandable. But once you get used to it - or their excellent customer service walks you through it - it's pretty easy to understand.

Great Customer Service! Date: Apr 27 2021
Summary: My overall experience was flawless! The customer service department was always on call for my silly questions.
Positive: Easy to use software! We have used them for live auctions, Fund-A-Need and online silent auction bidding. Quick and easily uploading to track donations. The customer service is amazing as well. They walked me through everything that I couldn't figure out on my own. Also had some great suggestions and ideas for me to use.
Negative: I don't like that they take a percentage of our winning, but hey that's business! Their fees are the lowest that I could find :)

Great Product for Auctions Date: Apr 02 2021
Summary: I had to learn this program in a short period of time and found I could do it. Others had a similar experience, so I give this program kudos for user friendliness! I recommend it to others.
Positive: Our Rotary Club has used this product for several years now. I have been involved for the last 2 years as a group administrator and have found it easy to use (intuitive) and the Help feature is VERY helpful in resolving issues. When I need additional help, Christina at SAP has been quite responsive.
Negative: Little thing: The group administrator needs to be able to expand listed choices under Item Status when entering items. None of the listed items fit our situation.
