### "Great for Complex Organizations."

September 21, 2025

4.0

We have used it for about 15 years and with each release it gets better and better. Although expensive, it is the only program we have found that can handle the complexity of our organization without choking.

Pros

Flexibility for use with complex dues and membership structures. Powerful Query engine and reporting capabilities. Good customer support and a good network of experts to help through sticky situations.

Cons

iMIS has a very steep learning curve. Some inconsistencies in interface make it not always user friendly.

### "Comprehensive Platform for Association Management"

March 12, 2026

4.0

iMIS provides a solid, all-in-one solution for managing memberships, tracking data, and reporting efficiently.

Pros

iMIS makes membership management and reporting simple, efficient, and easy to use for the entire team.

Cons

iMIS does not currently offer a feature for members to download or access their receipts directly online.

### "Former leader in the field, past its prime."

June 2, 2020

3.0

Most of my experience has been moving clients off of iMIS onto more modern cloud based platforms. If you have it, that is great, but they are still not ready to be considered a cloud based solution as of 2020.

Pros

iMIS had just about any future you need, and if it doesn't have it, there is a vendor that has built an interface to provide the functionality you need.

Cons

Configuring and using the product can be a pain. Everything goes through a reseller, creating a layer between the customer and supplier. This added layer increases markup, and also encourages consulting expenses by the retailer. Old model that does not work for the non profit industry.

### "iMIS Engagement Management System"

October 3, 2025

5.0

There is a very large support network for iMIS users. There is a very active user group, and ASI provides excellent online documentation and training resources.

Pros

We chose iMIS because, unlike some other association management systems we reviewed, it would let us customize the database and business processes to fit our needs. We also found the ability to integrate iMIS with MailChimp and other 3rd party applications very useful. We have been able to consolidate several different databases into a single source of data. iMIS also allows us to track the engagement of our members using criteria that we have established. This allows us to make better business decisons and communication plans.

Cons

iMIS has a fairly steep learning curve, but there are several consulting services available to assist with training and implementation. In addition, the online documentation for the product is excellent, and there is also a training portal with in-depth classes available.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing iMIS

Cost, and flexibility of the product to match our business processes.

We’re also glad our training and user network help teams unlock iMIS’s full potential, and we’re excited to keep making iMIS even more powerful for organizations like yours!

### "Highs and lows"

September 23, 2025

4.0

iMIS has helped our organization modernize and adapt to the demands of the 21st century. With this platform, we can effectively meet both our own needs and those of our clients. Personally, using iMIS has broadened my technological skills and increased my value within the company.

Pros

Our organization adopted iMIS to replace our outdated Microsoft Access database and bring our data management into the 21st century. This management system has enabled us to collect data seamlessly and has provided the flexibility to customize the platform according to our specific requirements. Additionally, iMIS integrates effectively with third-party applications and offers support for open APIs.

Cons

While iMIS generally handles a wide range of functions, from membership and donations to certifications and events, our organization has customized the system so much that it's not being used for it's initial intention. This has caused headaches when updates occur and when we need assistance.

### "Easy to implement and use, IMIS allows us to manage our members intuitively"

January 31, 2025

5.0

IMIS provides us with secure data management. It is easy to manage users and members alike. We can automate many routine tasks such as invoicing and reporting, as well as member joining and renewal processes. We have seen a big reduction in manual effort required of our staff, thus saving us time and resources. All of this allows employees to focus on more strategic tasks.

Pros

We have seen a drastic reduction of manual tasks. The automated processes allow us to spend time on other work. Also IMIS can integrate with many other products which is also a great time and effort saving for us. The online help and videos are superb and we have now incorporated them into our own new staff training.

Cons

It can be a little frustrating to have to pay for different modules, on top of the already high licence costs. We recently moved from 2017 to EMS and some functionality is no longer available.

[Integrate](https://www.capterra.com/p/128520/Integrate/)

Our previous system (INTEGRA - not available from the drop down above so I had to choose a random one in order to continue) had become dated and wasn't flexible. We looked at several alternatives and IMIS seemed to be and has proven to be a good fit for us

### "A versatile solution for all of your Association management "

August 23, 2024

4.0

Its very trustable and effective tool for all your membership related things

Pros

1\. Love the UI design and smooth flow of running the command 2. Very easy to implement and integrate other tools with it 3. It can make all the data usable to all the employee data base with just one click 4. The product team is very helpful on any customization needs

Cons

1\. You need an in-depth training to understand the mechanism of this tool 2. Automation is primitive and needs an upgrade 3. Not available in the mobile app version

### "iMIS is gREAT!"

July 29, 2025

4.0

I started working with iMIS in 2022 and have been overall happy with the system and the options it offers our organization. It has many of the tools needed built into the system and there are new features being added that are requests from the community.

Pros

Versatility and 3rd party development options. System can be tailored to your needs and has very well organized examples and templates to follow.

Cons

As with any highly customizable software, configuration and procedures can be difficult at times. While administration tasks are not a heavy lift, there are some that need many checkboxes checked to get the job done.

### "Exceptional software for associations"

December 13, 2024

5.0

I've worked with iMIS for 3 years now. I recommend the certification programs as a great way to gain an overall understanding of the system.

Pros

iMIS is an incredibly flexible solution for any association. Supported by a passionate team and partners, you really can't go wrong implementing iMIS.

Cons

There is a little bit of learning required to get started. Once you get the basics it all begins to make sense. Documentation and support are first rate, so you won't have any trouble.

### "iMIS - something your association can benefit from "

October 8, 2024

5.0

iMIS has been a great tool for our association. Not only the product, but the community of users and support received is unmatched.

Pros

iMIS helps us connect our members with valuable resources by delivering tailored content, data, and services

Cons

Transitioning staff from desktop to staff site

### "iMIS has been a game changer for us"

June 21, 2023

5.0

Excellent!

Pros

A single source of truth for our member data as well as the ability to build a website but to continually update and improve the site.

Cons

Not really any cons, you just need to learn to drive iMIS to work for you, we are in our 3rd year of use and 99% of our daily use is done within our own team with the odd support request for assistance.

Reason for choosing iMIS

iMIS provided more functionality and with Salesforce it was difficult to nail down how much the project would cost, there was greater visibility on costs with iMIS.

June 30, 2023

4.0

Pros

Our members can access all their data in one place. We can also access all that data about a member, allowing us to provide a more personalised experience.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like you need to be an IT person to make changes - we're a small organisation without an IT department and we can only do so much ourselves.

May 28, 2024

4.0

iMIS is a great place to store our member files, though we've only used it once, using it to register for an event is a great way to ensure individuals register for the correct registration type. We use it for groups as well and can track / communicate with individuals depending on which group they choose to be a part of.

Pros

Easy to find information, auto-renewal for memberships, can create any number of reports, add notes to a member file.

Cons

Reading the history of a member file is not always clear.

### "Comprehensive, scale-able and a long term solution to member management"

August 28, 2020

5.0

Our member engagement, association website and accounting system is all tied together to provide nearly seamless integration of business operations.

Pros

iMIS is build to meet the needs of changing technology. When new technologies come along you don't have to start all over again. There is a large body of third party providers to tie into any additional systems you need and they have an outstanding "independent" user group that is extremely helpful.

Cons

Learning the reporting system can be time consuming at first but as you get familiar with it that too is a very powerful system that lets you get whatever information out of your system that you need.

Reason for choosing iMIS

Long term vision of ASI to allow customers to upgrade to new technologies, strong "independent" user group, large customer base and extensive third party development partners.

### "Everything you need in one place! "

December 18, 2019

4.0

I don't think I could ever see us switching from iMIS, the fact that there are so many functional options under one roof make it a powerhouse product. It also provides a seemless experience for our members!

Pros

I love that there are so many different functionalities of this software. We use it for our membership, for fundraising, for events, for data collection and there is still so much more that we could get out of this software. It's customizable features are really a bonus and I love that I can share customized data with our board directly in their dashboard!

Cons

I find it a steep learning curve, now that I have worked with the software for a while it's easy but it takes some time. Thankfully there is a supportive community and ample training opportunities!

### "First Powerful Database I had used."

May 16, 2017

5.0

It was a powerful tool but I have found comparable solutions for a lot less expense than iMIS. With a small staff, it is hard to expend the kind of money you'd need for iMIS.

Pros

Easy to use. Powerful. Did most everything we needed it to do. I was the power user in the office for 10 years. If you know SQL queries, you'll be able to run a lot of custom reports to fit your business needs. After moving to another non-profit, I found that there were less expensive solutions which were comparable or better. No need to spend a lot of money to get what you need for your businesses database and website solutions.

Cons

Needed lots of customization for our use. At the time, was not a database/web platform. I believe it is now with the RISE platform.

October 11, 2016

5.0

We have used the software for almost 20 years and have recently upgraded to the cloud version. The move from an older version to the current was very easy. Customer Support has been very responsive to our needs.

Pros

The basic functions are included in the general package, but you can upgrade if needed. With the cloud version, as new changes are made they are included at no extra fee. You can access your data and the product where ever you have access to the internet. Works well with most computers as is not actually on your system.

Cons

In using the cloud version if your band wide is not fast or if you have problems with your internet connection you don't have access to your data.

### "iMIS Review"

October 23, 2018

3.0

We are in a long financial relationship with iMIS and have no way to simply get out but it does what we need with a bit of help from ISG.

Pros

This is a very tough question for me for several reasons. One is that I have no experience with any other product. Two is that at one point when E-Series failed to live up to expectations we brought in ISGWeb to do many of the functions that I like the most. Three we have not transitioned to rISE yet.

Cons

The cost, now I do not know how much other software is in relation to what we get for our money but It seems pretty expensive to do anything and the license fees are high.

### "Overall iMIS has been an improvement in our member management software."

January 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

We appreciate that is more robust than our previous system allowing to capture and track additional important data points, as well as keep relationships that we could not keep prior to switching. Although we are not a typical association, we've been able to adapt the system easily for our needs.

Cons

We find that the documentation available can be slight and it feels sometimes like the user end was not considered when doing upgrades. The transition to the staff site has also been difficult as all labels and naming have changed.

July 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

Everything in one place - events, member profiles, website; all linked into one. Managing our website is very easy when using the tools given.

Cons

It's easy to make a mistake, but with proper training, runs smoothly. Imis Rise is lacking features that would be very beneficial (document manager icon, for example).

### "Lots of functionality for a small non-profit organization"

January 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

iMIS is a one-stop shop for a membership-based organization. Lots of bells and whistles and good educational support to learn all those bells and whistles.

Cons

iMIS has been around for a long time, and as the company aims to make all functions browser-based, many of its old interface (desktop) remain necessary as they have yet to be adapted in a reliable way to browsers. We're not ready to let go of the desktop and won't be for a while.

### "Colleen's review"

October 31, 2018

4.0

I solve information need from our database regarding membership for almost every department within our company. If there is not a way for me to do it myself TS Team assists me.

Pros

It gives you the output you want most times in reports. If you can't get what you need the TS Team helps you get what you need.

Cons

The ASI portion of what is written, old archaic, a staple in the design can cause some reporting to look and act obsolete.
