Bonterra ETO vs Hibox for Nonprofits

Bonterra ETO is web-based data collection and case-management software for nonprofits and other social-good organizations. It tracks participant interactions, services, assessments, referrals, and outcomes.

ETO Results provides filtered reporting shaped by reporting roles and security settings. Administrators can customize dashboards and navigation across sites and programs with up to five enterprise navigation templates. The system includes participant, entity, referral, and administrative areas, quick search, role-customized dashboards, a participant portal, forms and surveys, and reporting dashboards. Nine customizable access levels and program permissions control data access. ETO requires internet access and a compatible browser. Data is stored on dedicated AWS Virtual Private Cloud servers with nightly encrypted backups and annual disaster-recovery testing. Pricing is on request.
