I wish the training files were also easier to parse through. > > I've used MaestroAuction for the past 4 years for our fundraiser and do really like using it. However, my colleagues are definitely not excited about it because they are overwhelmed with learning how to use it. It definitely just takes some time and usage to get familiar with the product, but I really like it\! Their tech help is wonderful as is their leadership team - everyone I communicate from the Maestro team are kind and lovely\! ----- ### "Comprehensive program great for non-profit auctions" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *18 November 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: MaestroAuction has everything in one program, it makes it easy to track both attendees and donors, and to print reports for catering and the auctioneer and manage the financials all in one spot\! I like that you can run through all the available reports on the home page and sort them by category. > > **Cons**: It can be hard to find the exact report you're looking for sometimes. Especially because the menus are stacked within each other sometimes, for example you need to open the people menu and then open view attendees to get to the assign bidder numbers option. > > We have had a good experience with MaestroAuction for many years, and the support team has always been incredibly helpful both leading up to and at our event. We plan to continue to use this program for our non-profit's annual fundraiser. ----- ### "Mediocre Maestro" — 3.0/5 > **Julie** | *14 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: MaestroAuction allows you to have many available options at your event. Silent Auction, Live auction, Raise the Paddle. > > **Cons**: The system is clunky and does not have great ease of use compared to new technologies. Donor management and reports are hard to navigate and caused some confusion post event. The system is not an all inclusive system, you have to continue to pay for additional options like text to bid. > > Webinars are available to help you setup the system. The support personnel are helpful and available night of the event if a problem arises. ----- ### "Software of choice\! Wouldn't dream of running the auctions without it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mary Jo** | *6 December 2016* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Comprehensive program addressing all gift and guest data storage and reports. Banquet registration, seating assignments, meals. Bidding and invoicing. WebMaestro for online data entry from anywhere there is internet access, by staff and volunteers. TextToBid. > > **Cons**: It isn't the software, it's remembering all its features and how to use them, when under pressure. For example, when someone at the auction says: "What was the item number of the waffle iron," some people will scroll through the likeliest sections to find it, but in the Item Viewer there is a search option that is a shortcut. The more comprehensive a program is, the more the operators need to learn. It is worth it\! > > As an auction consultant, I have assisted scores of charities in utilizing Maestro since 1995. Its many enhancements make it SO robust. The developers have listened to auction managers and added many features, countless reports, and easy self-generated data extractions for customized merging. Ease of use is correlated with use of webinars, online tutorials and experience. The more you know the easier it is\! It is comprehensive, combining all aspects of gift and guest data management and integration. The WebMaestro feature allows access to the product from anywhere. It so easy for volunteers and staff to enter data at any time from home or office or literally any place that they have internet access. The money saved by engaging volunteers to perform what was once the task of overburdened and limited office staff, cannot be overestimated - not least by the staff\! Not to mention that volunteers feel valued when given meaningful tasks that they can accomplish. Recent inquiries have received virtually immediate call-backs from technical support, much appreciated\! ----- ### "Easy to Learn and Excellent Support" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *15 December 2022* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found the training videos on the Maestrohelp website to be excellent introductions to the software, and these tutorials helped to familiarize me with the features of the program before I even began entering data. We had a lot of printed materials for our event, and MaestroAuction's ability to generate reports, bid sheets, and thank you letters saved us a ton of time and energy. Entering data before the event was fairly simple and recording the actual bids during the auction was a piece of cake. I think the feature that I found most helpful was the Maestrosoft Support Team. They were always incredibly responsive, and their assistance enabled us to work through a number of concerns and crises. > > **Cons**: The part that caused us the most stress would probably be payment processing through qCheck, however, most of our struggles with that aspect could be attributed to technical difficulties rather than issues with the software. We also went to the Support Team with these technical difficulties, and their quick thinking and expertise allowed us to overcome the problems we were experiencing, so I don't have many cons to list. > > Overall, I had a very positive experience with MaestroAuction. As an auction software novice, I found the program to be quite intuitive and accessible. I worried about annoying the Support Team with how much I was calling them, but their insight and advice was invaluable throughout the planning process. The entire MaestroAuction team was always helpful and friendly as well. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/128124/maestroauction?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/128124/maestroauction) ## 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
