“Top Notch Association Management Software”

ProsWe conducted an in-depth search and review to evaluate and select an Association Management Software (AMS) for our medium sized Association. There are a variety of reasons as to why we selected Fonteva, but to summarize here are our main reasons for selecting this product. 1. User Experience - The SF Lightning and Fonteva user experience for our end users is clean, simple, and easy to learn. The flexibility it offers is clear and concise to staff and will make their day to day work much more efficient. The system is highly configurable. 2. Community Groups - For a chapter based association like ours there will be many benefits to having this feature enabled. Chapters will have a variety of accessible features that our current AMS doesn't easily offer. 3. Integration - We use a wide variety of other software to run our organization. Salesforce and Fonteva's ability to connect with and integrate is simple and cost efficient. I highly recommend this a solution for your Association.
ConsNo negatives have been found yet. Of course, you'd love for it to be cheaper. Keep an eye on the size of your environment.

“This is one of the best cloud based CRM out there for Membership Management. ”

OverallThe product is the best out there and has lot of options to customize. The staff is very supportive.
ProsSoftware is easy to use and has lot of flexibility to tailor it as per the association needs.
ConsThe software has some room to improve. We have soem issues with Join process and renewal proceeses which can be improved. We also think finance side of Fonteva can be made better by improving schedule payment and lockbox functionality.

“Fails to deliver on many promises. Lots sacrificed with little payoff.”

ProsI like that it's built on Saleforce CRM.
ConsImplementation took much longer than anticipated and cost much more than forecasted. Elements of each part of the software fail to meet expectations. Core competencies such as invoicing, events set-up and managment, reporting, renewals, and eCommerce have been faulty. Support does not include support for the whole system. Their business model changed to using 3rd-party companies for setup, configuration, and advanced support. Upgrades are not free, and fees are not controlled and predictable. eCommerce engine fails to meet standards for SEO and basic eCommerce structure. Emails and integration with platforms either don't work or require excessive labor. Renewal and invoice automations can fail.

“Six months in and loving it”

OverallPlatform user - we use Fonteva for membership, events and e-commerce. We had a great planning and implementation process. The Fonteva team is honest, transparent, good partners (they tell you when you are trying to do something that doesn't make sense in the system), and highly responsive.
ProsUsers can adapt functions in meaningful ways to fit their business needs without a lot of admin or other support
ConsReporting is not always intuitive and does often require admin support to do higher level reporting
Switched FromNimble AMS
Reasons for Switching to Fonteva for AssociationsData structure (person accounts) didn't fit well with our need and limited our ability to integrate with non-profit tools such as the Salesforce Non-Profit Success Pack
