Prospect Research Resources!

Hi all, I am the Development Associate at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, New York. We are currently thinking about buying a prospect research tool, which my department hasn't done since the early 2000s. We have had product demos with the three prospect research resources that are integrated with Tessitura: 

iWave
WealthEngine
DonorSearch

We are leaning toward iWave and WealthEngine right now, but open to hearing more about DonorSearch from folks who use it. Does anyone have experience using any of these products? How was the integration with Tess, and the quality of the data you got back? I'm worried about the fact that WealthEngine has very little functionality for searching foundations and interpersonal relationships - is this a problem for you / have you discovered any workarounds? 

Thank you so much - any and all feedback is very useful :) I hope you are all well and to see you soon at TLCC!

    From our experience the info from iWave is more accurate than Wealth Engine. We haven’t tried DonorSearch.
