Top Notch Association Management Software
Pros
We 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.
Cons
No negatives have been found yet. Of course, you'd love for it to be cheaper. Keep an eye on the size of your environment.

My thoughts on Fonteva AMS
Pros
The best thing about Fonteva is that it is on the Salesforce platform. Having the ability to configure the AMS with Salesforce has been a dream come true for us. In regards to Fonteva itself, I really like the flexibility it provides in solving business solutions as well as the amount of time saved with basic management of association management. My staff really loves Salesforce/Fonteva and that wasn't the case for our legacy platform. With staff buy-in, we're able to get a lot done now with our AMS.
Cons
Fonteva is not a platform you can learn overnight. Your staff must devote time to learn the structure before any sort of major configuration or custom work. More than likely, a 3rd party resource should be brought to help and assist with any sort of business objectives in order to configure the platform properly. Lastly, avoid custom code as much as possible because the more you learn about the tool, the higher likelihood you'll be able to configure a solution using out of the box tools with Salesforce.
Reasons for choosing Fonteva for Associations
We liked Nimble a lot but at the time (year 2015), but we preferred Fonteva's storefront.
Reasons for switching to Fonteva for Associations
We came from a platform that was really good for a small association mainly because it was preconfigured and our administrator (who didn't have an IT background) could easily work within the four walls of the AMS. Over time, as our organization grew and business needs evolved, our legacy AMS system did and therefore we needed to make a switch.

Fails to deliver on many promises. Lots sacrificed with little payoff.
Pros
I like that it's built on Saleforce CRM.
Cons
Implementation 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.

Decent but has limitations for us
Great AMS for a simple membership model.
Pros
This is a generally easy system to learn and has a lot of functionality however we struggle with having to develop a lot of customizations because it doesn't have functionality that aligns nicely with our needs. This makes upgrades more difficult.
Cons
There is no ability to track membership retention. Emailing through the database is flawed as formatting gets screwy. We are exploring using more features and functions such as campaigns but at the surface level, its a little complicated to figure out.

This is one of the best cloud based CRM out there for Membership Management.
The product is the best out there and has lot of options to customize. The staff is very supportive.
Pros
Software is easy to use and has lot of flexibility to tailor it as per the association needs.
Cons
The 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.
Reasons for choosing Fonteva for Associations
For its core functionality of Membership Association Management
