Bonterra ETO vs Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud

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. Organizations can enroll participants across enterprise sites, make internal or external referrals, and link participants with entities such as service providers, employers, and referral partners; receiving organizations may accept or reject referrals. 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.
