George R.: Hi, this is George. I'm a VP of technology solutions in the nonprofit association industry and I'd like to talk about the iMIS Membership Management System, which I give a three out of five. Before implementing iMIS, we looked at several different membership management systems, including MemberClicks and YourMembership, to systems such as Association Anywhere by ACGI and Fonteva. iMIS has traditionally been the market leader in the membership management industry and everybody is familiar with the name iMIS in the association industry. So, it was originally selected by us as a way to gain quick adoption by the users. Implementing iMIS can be a challenge. We had to do several iterations of loading data, to make sure the data was properly loaded and the training for those who hadn't used iMIS was sometimes a lot more complicated than it needed to be. I would make two recommendations to anybody considering iMIS. The first is, pick a quality partner to help you implement it. iMIS does require you to partner with a reseller. Pick one that really knows iMIS and one of you can really trust. The second thing is, make sure you go with the new iMIS cloud version, as that is really the direction the industry is going.

Waldo M.: Hi, I am Waldo. I am a media director. I give DonorView a five star rating. And for more reviews like this, click below. We were using Catalyst in South Africa where our headquarters are. We have sister offices in the USA and the UK. And then in the USA, we were looking for a CRM and we did quite a bit of research and eventually decided to purchase DonorView. The main reasons we chose DonorView was the versatility, the functionality, and what we perceive to be the ease of integration. Once we started using DonorView, the integration process was very, very simple, very easy. The backend is very well set up and where there were gaps, DonorView support team were always there to help, to instruct, and even to forward some of our suggestions to their development team, which have subsequently been implemented. We've been using DonorView for three years and so far it has met every expectation. And I foresee us using DonorView well into the future. It was very easy to onboard, very easy to integrate. The DonorView support team helped us by importing previous information and the previous database from our previous software. That went very quickly. It was done within a day. And for all the staff that are using it, it was really, really easy to get into the interface, to understand the workflow. And yeah, all I can say is that it was a very easy process. Well, I would certainly recommend DonorView. In terms of CRM development or CRM implementation, it's very easy to use. It is really for all skill levels. It is just [inaudible 00:02:28]. The functionality of DonorView and everything that they offer is really great. It managers the database, it manages donations, it manages auctions, it manages membership. It manages fundraising, a host of things. It also comes on the interface with a whole lot of email templates that are already set up you, that you can just tweak for your own purposes. So really, it is value for money from start to finish. If there's anything that we struggled with, whether we don't understand the support team are... How can I put it... super supportive. I have yet to find a time where I have to wait for an extended period of time for a solution, or for a feedback, or for a comeback or or anything like that. So my recommendation is really, if you are looking for a CRM donation package, data package with great support, I would recommend DonorView.
