Wild Apricot is a SUPERIOR product for building websites. When I found Wild Apricot, I didn't know anything about building websites and I was able to easily teach myself with the help of their site, tutorials and information. I can now design websites that look extremely professional in very little time complete with videos, slide shows, merchant account, etc... I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with Wild Apricot and would recommend this product to anyone. Since I have learned the product, I was able to quit my job as an Executive Assistant and start my own business designing reasonably priced websites for non-profits and other businesses.

Pros

Ease of use Superior Functionality Reasonable Rates Awesome customer service Always improving on offerings

Cons

none that I can think of

### "Don't ever register for their webinars!"

July 13, 2018

4.0

MailChimp has superior open/ click analytics and easier and more flexible settings to create marketing emails.

Pros

Ability to manage many events at one time. Ease of sending, reminding and reconciling emails. ....

Cons

If you register for a webinar, be prepared to be inundated with emails! I block one and receive another. Immediately after sending feedback about this, i was hit with 3 emails in a row! Leaves a very bad taste and i won't be recommending anymore. Very difficult to set-up and navigate. Not for anyone who won't use regularly.

### "ASURA Wild Apricot"

August 18, 2013

5.0

Sometimes after I log on to Wild Apricot the first screen I see is the Dashboard. I click on Public View which takes me to the ASURA Membership & Events screen where I click on Maintenance and select Deceased from the pulldown menu. Then I click on Switch to Admin View, then Contacts and proceed from there. However, other times when I log on the first screen I see is ASURA Membership & Events screen then I click on Maintenance and select Deceased then Switch to Admin View then I click on Public View which takes me back to ASURA Membership & Events screen where I click on Maintenance then Deceased and proceed from there. Why do I sometimes see the Dashboard screen first and other times the ASURA Membership & Events screen. It's more efficient to see the Dashboard screen first. Thank you for the tip to make a single spaced line by using Shift/Enter. I really don't know what comments I made about any difficulty including pictures. Whatever they were, forget them. I'm not having any problem with that -- it's a great feature in fact.

### "A really functional website/database"

February 8, 2017

5.0

I worked many database programs trying to find one that suited our requirements, rather than we having to suit the database. Wild Apricot seems to do that with many practical functions and great configurability - the latter being a key point. We configure to our needs, not the other way around. I'm not a software guru but I've managed to muddle thru to produce a pretty good solution for our club that it is a real positive step forward. The odd time I've requested help it was forthcoming and tutorials seem to work. Now it's just a case of easing it in....

Pros

Very Configurable to meet our requirements and lots of useful features

Cons

Not real easy to get a handle on, takes time to get the results that you want - but it's worth it I think

### "Wild Apricot - An Outstanding Web Hosting Service"

January 12, 2017

5.0

It was just over a year ago that we moved our tandem club website to Wild Apricot. I have been the webmaster for DATES (Dallas Area Tandem Enthusiasts) since 2001. During that time we have used 4 web hosting sites including Wild Apricot. Hands down, Wild Apricot has been the superior web hosting site for our club. Moving to Wild Apricot has made my job much easier. Another cycling club in the DFW area moved to Wild Apricot based on what they saw with our website.

Pros

Ease of use, administration and management.

Cons

Can't think of anything at this time.

### "A Full Featured Membership Website That's Amazingly Easy To Set Up and Customize, Plus Excellent "How To" Videos and Help Pages"

February 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

This site has everything you need to set up a professional membership website. The automated emails, and targeted emails have eased our administrative burden. The blogs, events, join us, and membership pages are already set up in template form, that you can easily customize to represent your organization. No HTML coding is needed, but you can use code if you'd like to. The checkout system is very easy to integrate with your card payment system with I wide variety of supported vendors. We can't wait for the new online store to be added in April, as well as the membership phone app!

### "Would Not Use it Again"

October 16, 2015

2.0

Pros

We've been using WA for several years. There was no WordPress membership site available when we created our site and WA was one of the only membership sites available. If I had it to do over again, would not use it./

Cons

Not intuitive, difficult to figure out. After many years, I still don't have it completely figured out.

### "The Solution You are Looking For"

July 19, 2009

5.0

I searched high and low for a software package to help streamline our renewals and couldn't find something that met our needs. I was hesitant to try Wild Apricot at first as I prefer to have my own data with me locally, however the web presence allows members and committee officials to undertake their duties on the site. Feel free to visit www.duttoncycles.org.au to see what we have done with little technical knowledge. Highly recommended and I am sure that more features will be added as the product matures.

Pros

\* Easy to set up \* Powerful features - almost all you'd want on your club's site \* automates renewals \* allows committee members to contribute to the site \* great dashboard to see status of membership \* quick and friendly support when needed \* very well priced for the features

Cons

\* missing some features specific to our club type \* doesn't rate so well on search engines

### "Best All Round CMS/Membership/Event Mgmt Software"

July 29, 2013

5.0

Our 501C3 organization needed needed a much more reliable membership database/management system, and our website was on blogging software, but we needed much more functionality and our site is somewhat large. We also have an annual conference that we were managing manually. Our tech team did a lot of research, and we elected to try Wild Apricot. We haven't looked back - it is fantastic, AND their support website is excellent. Readable, makes sense, shows screen captures with added arrows etc. And they actually respond to emails. All-in-all they understand what their users want and need. The only thing missing in our estimation is an eStore, and for now we have found another solution for that, and we just link to it.

### "Clumsy software, limited emailing resources"

December 6, 2014

3.0

We joined Wild Apricot mainly to manage attendance to an annual conference and for this purpose it worked great. We also try and use it for sending emails to the membership collected from the conference and have found the member management very clumsy at best. It's difficult (read: impossible) to manage groups and make edits to multiple members at the same time. Everything is one by one. The layouts for the emails aren't very professional looking and adding your own styles is far from easy. Even when applied, the defaults overwrite the preferences that you have set into a template. You cannot schedule an email to go out to members but instead have to hit "SEND" to initiate the delivery. Then there is no "save" button when editing a mailing. SAVE and CLOSE is the closest thing. Wild Apricot seems to satisfy many users that need a plug and play website and managing events, but keeping in touch with members in a highly polished manner is far from simple.

### "Useful but frustrating"

August 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

At the time of use, I liked that it easily collected the information of our members and we could send out emails to them promoting events. It also had a billing functionality to it

Cons

it became too cumbersome and difficult to manage as our membership base grew and was frustrating having to manually do some things because it didn't have the automatic functionality to do it. it may be better now but we ended up moving to another software

### "I use WA for membership administration"

August 30, 2017

5.0

It helps me organize my alumni group. Standard login/password features are included and do not need any maintenance. Web page maintenance is easy.

Pros

Sending emails to all members is easy, simple and quick. Keeping track of membership payments and donations is simple.

Cons

Would like to set up Paypal payments from a personal Paypal account. We would like PAYpal to be the only source of payment/donations for our organization.

### "I love These Guys"

December 30, 2009

5.0

We looked at a great many membership models from a complete system to purchasing the software and implementing it on our servers. Both had pros and cons and all were fairly expensive. Then we found Wild ApricotWhat A Joy!!

Pros

Although Wild Apricot has some limitations, there always seems to be a work around and the support is FANTASTIC! And they actually speak the version of English that I understand so communication is very easy and I am almost always able to get through to a real live support person. They also are constantly working to make this a more feature rich and robust program with no need to purchase the newest release and with no increase in fee.

Cons

I am used to Dreamweaver so the WYSIWYG editor has some limitations but, they are adding new features on each update

### "Set up Volunteer Management System "

December 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

I was part of a team that used Wild Apricot to set a system for managing and scheduling our volunteer team. It integrated well with the web portal we set up and enabled us to communicate well with our volunteers.

Cons

Tricky to get started with and not for the novice user. Some of the functions were not as intuitive as I would have liked.

### "Very good"

February 23, 2017

5.0

The small museum I work at just started using this in the last year, and it has really helped us with many of the things we do. We don't have to have as many applications or services with Wild Apricot, since they provide many, like the membership management and event registration.

Pros

Provides many services. Website creator is relatively easy to use and looks nice. Event registration works well for us.

Cons

A few things have been slightly confusing, we've had a little trouble with some of the registration types. And in the website editor, I can't get embedded videos to center onto the page.

November 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it was for me to send out dues reminders for all the PRSSA members and how easy Wild Apricot made it for me to send out updates and reminders to current and prospective members.

Cons

Sometimes processing payment from dues from members would be slightly glitchy, nothing crazy though.

### "Cumbersome; Dated Looking"

October 22, 2019

3.0

Appreciated the free trial, but the clunky and cumbersome interface was not appreciated by a single staff member, and more importantly, the property manager of the HOA for whom we were setting up the site, and to whom we'd hand over day to day management.

Pros

Price for managing HOA communities was a little better than some of my other options.

Cons

Very clunky interface, cumbersome and dated looking. I felt like I was using decade-old software, like FrontPage. Remote area means we don't have as high speed internet speeds as we'd like, and this dramatically affected using Wild Apricot. The clunky interface was made worse on slow-speed days, whereas other programs were not affected at all.

Reason for choosing WildApricot

I didn't. I abandoned the Free Trial and instead, went with PayHOA.com.

As I work with the "Back Room" stuff I get to see more than the Web Pages.... and I have not found too many problems working there, so far. Everything is where it's supposed to be & accesable. Happy to be working with this program.

### "Great Organization Management Tool"

February 26, 2019

4.0

Overall very good experience.

Pros

This puts all of your organizational tasks in one platform to save you lots of time. This has saved us a lot of time.

Cons

The pricing tiers jumped quite a bit for the non-profit organization that has just above 2,000 members. It would be nice if there was another tier before 5,000. A few tasks take quite a few clicks to get to.

The software allowed quick and easy connection to the League of Canadian Poets, allowing me to update my profile information regularly.

Pros

Very user friendly; intuitive. Unlike this page which seems to require guesswork as to what is missing.

Cons

Its name. Once again I'm here typing until the magic number is reached. Looks like it's 100 words.

We have found Wild Apricot to answer just about all of our membership organization's needs, and it constantly evolves to keep up with technology without making it harder to use.

The Wild Apricot folks have obviously put a great deal of thought into the features. Our small art league (125 members) is able to make terrific use of the members directory (now people can maintain their own information!), events (we offer classes and have meetings) and other great features. The support is outstanding and the product is bug-free. Extremely affordable for small organizations.

### "Good Club Software"

January 11, 2017

4.0

North County Newcomers of San Luis Obispo, a club of 210 members, has been using Wild Apricot for 3 years and it haS proven to be a great tool for the club. The automated systems make keeping records easy and also easy to retrieve when necessary. It has kept us from having to keep records on paper in binders that just keep getting larger and larger. It has been a great way to upgrade our record keeping and prevent errors in the records for the club. The club has started to accept payments for events via Wild Apricot using Pay Pal or credit cards. This has proven to a great thing for our reservation chair as they do not have to collect money and it makes registration at events so much smoother and faster. We would recommend it to any club as a great system to manage the club.

Pros

Easy to use and good information on club members and activities

Cons

Nothing major
