Pros
While I am new to OneCause and have not been through a full event cycle with them, I am already blown away. This really fills a void that was missing in non-profit fundraising events. The customer service and attention to detail has been phenomenal!
Cons
Like I said, I haven not been through a full event cycle so I am sure there will be a few small, minor tweaks but nothing right now.

If you rely on Salesforce and you're expecting some type of seamless interaction between OneCause > 1st Payments > Salesforce. DON'T BUY, it ain't happening.
If you don't use SF and have no type of CRM software, then I guess this would be OK.
Pros
Easy to use- despite a couple redundant set-ups, easy to set-up, good customer support. Overall I thought this was a great software and did everything we needed ... until they did a forced merchant migration.
Cons
Required to use their merchant: First American Payments (1st Pay) which does NOT provide ANY type of automated data import into Salesforce from OneCause.
Ironically, their affiliated company (iATS) does. Prior to the forced migration, we used iATS - which was wonderful. All data automatically imported in Saleforce, we could track everything, even provide a check/balance report for QB etc... now... nothing but pain. I even tried manually feeding it but unable to identify who paid what.

Pros
I find it difficult to use computer programs until I am very familiar with them. The support team at OneCause is invaluable regardless of the individual who is assisting me. They have always been patient, helped me through my questions and have done so in an encouraging way regardless of the number of times I call. Thank you Thank you
Cons
I still struggle with setting up sponsorship pages. I don't think it is the site.
