MemberClicks in Atlanta offers what the company describes as a complete end-to-end AMS, including member database and both application and renewal process document generation and automation.
iMIS is great for membership associations who need one place. I love their contact database, I just wish we could pull reports easily from their system and publishing would not freeze when making changes to our website. Everything that does work correctly is really easy to set up.
We've had a very disappointing experience with MemberClicks. Purchased in 2016 for our small association, and enjoyed years worth of amazing service. After the company was purchased, in my experience, service began to wane. Emails begin to say "response may be delayed." We had to add a calendar invite to follow up with all service tickets. No new functionality was introduced. COVID was a challenge for our association, and MemberClicks kept increasing prices - "client success" was removed. Terms and conditions changed in March 2023 with limited notice. Pricing increased by 20% in July 2023. Based on confusing terms, we requested a phone call. I received an email: "Thanks [...], we do not have phone support..." In my opinion, this is a stark contrast to the opening of the company's mission: "We talk with you..." In fact, in my experience, they don't. For us, a very disappointing conclusion to a relationship that we relied upon to connect and engage our members.
I wasn't involved with the selection process, but for anything that I have experience with that is specifically for associations, iMIS Engagement Management System stacks up pretty well. It doesn't compare well to the others like a Salesforce or Marketo, but it's not really meant to. Many times those products are out of the price range for associations.
MemberClicks was one of the first tools I used and really hit off well with it. Prior to this I used to manage everything on Google sheets which was cost effective in short term but considering the amount of time I invested into it in long-term certainly Memberclicks was much more cost-efficient.
We measure ROI in terms of changed lives, not revenue since we are a church and a non-profit organization. As our church has grown, we have been better equipped to identify new visitors, follow-up on the physical and spiritual needs of our membership and give away leadership to our members.
