Ideal association management software

PROS

i4a allows us to do so much, despite being an office of just 2 FTE. We have hundreds of universities in our association, with thousands of individuals engaged. The software allows us to provide a professional website, register participants for our workshops and meetings, easily remind members about membership renewal, and now also integrate with an online community platform (and a lot more). The help ticket system works great and the i4a team is knowledgeable and professional.

CONS

There hasn't been anything not to like; I've used much more expensive, custom-built solutions at other organizations and this is easier to use!

i4a is just outstanding

Implementation = 10 out of 10; Customer Service = 10 out of 10; Cost = 10 out of 10; Owner = 10 out of 10; Access to help = 10 out of 10; Ease of Product = 10 out of 10

PROS

As an association executive with 25 years of experience with various software packages, i4a offers everything I wanted and more! Should have switched years ago.

CONS

The one request I have made is to have job postings visible without logging in. That is truly it. Everything else is simply outstanding.

Reason for choosing i4a AMS

Everything is better! From customer services to ease of use, there is no comparison. Hands down a much better alternative. Feel I like matter as a customer and not just one of way too many. Thanks i4a!

Reasons for switching to i4a AMS

I4a offered services that were not currently offered with the prior product.

Bulky & Archaic

PROS

- Once you learn how to use it, pretty easy to navigate. - Wiki page is helpful. - Price point is good for small associations

CONS

- Limited functionality and capabilities. Unattractive design for admin users. - Learning how to use it is tedious, even to those experienced in CMS. - Content manager/theme manager is very fickle. - Website design is not great for an average user. Must know a fair amount of web design to edit website.

What a Relief!

I really like the personal touch with I4A. I feel like I know the people behind the scenes and frankly, don't know how they do what they do for so little money!

PROS

How wonderful to have found I4A. It was recommended to me by another executive director of a non-profit association. After seeing it in action on their website, I knew it was what we need. The last software we were using had impersonal, high-turnover staff. Calling the hotline was a crap-shoot as to whether you would get someone helpful or not. So far, with I4A, the help and support has been phenomenal. Quick, knowledgeable, personal, consistent help is available. The features are so great for an association and it worked with our Wordpress website so beautifully. Our members are going to be so relieved to have something that works so well!

CONS

Can't think of a thing. So far, everything has been an improvement over what we had.

Reasons for switching to i4a AMS

They couldn't integrate with our existing website. In addition, the support was lacking. Calling for help took a long time and I felt on my own for most things.

Amazing Customer Support & Value for the $$$

This platform has allowed our leadership, who are located all over the US, to see live real-time data from the comfort of their own homes without office staff having to run and email reports. Having a centralized database has rendered obsolete various methods of tracking data that had been developed over the years such as Excel spreadsheets and MS Access databases, none of which talked to each other of course. Aggregating the data was the most painful part of the transition and we are still cleaning up the data, six years later. But, that's not i4a's fault, in fact they are a part of the solution.

PROS

All of the features that we are using are excellent and the customer service is amazing! The support wiki is extremely in depth and will guide a user step by step to do anything they need. The team will also do some excellent custom work for you if needed and they are constantly adding new functionality. It's brought our 10,000+ member nonprofit into the 21st Century! I would highly recommend this for any organization looking to manage their membership and move away from multiply databases and spreadsheets to manage their data.

CONS

There are so many functions that the software provides out of the box that it can be a bit overwhelming. But, the customer service is so amazing that you are guided step by step and you never feel alone.

Reason for choosing i4a AMS

Best value for the money. Excellent reviews. Amazing customer service. Since our leadership changes every two years, we needed a consistent platform for our membership management and many of our business processes. Also, i4a isn't distracted with creating and marketing new software so their efforts are fully on maintaining and improving their AMS.

Reasons for switching to i4a AMS

It was time to allow access to our membership database via our website behind a login for members and leadership. In addition, our MS Access database had been changed by so many different people who were no longer with the organization that no one really knew what it did behind the scenes.
