Personify360 is a constituent management and engagement (CME) platform with flexible capabilities. The product is presented as ideal for medium to large organizations, and creates a unified view of constituent data across all channels of engagement. Boasting scalability, Personify360 manages multiple business lines, complex transactions and is flexible enough to meet the needs of any organization.
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.
Personify works very well for professional societies, but it is somewhat cumbersome to use if you are managing multiple sections and/or societies. It works very well for us as our Accounts Receivable system, but that might not work for everyone.
What I really like about Personify360 is that, above all, it is easy to use. Individual member files are easy to maintain and edit as needed.
Personify360 also gets a lot of points for its presentation. We find it simple to understand as a lot of the interface is very intuitive for users. This goes for first time users, which in turn makes this software relatively easy to train new staff on.
Lastly, Personify360 does a good job of disseminating information. As an organization, we've gained a lot of insight into the inherent data compiled through logging our membership base into the software.
Personify needs to provide a true web-based system.
Personify does not always think through new offerings making it hard to make a new function or feature work with the existing system. However, they are good with acknowledging and fixing such issues that arise.
Fundraising module needs to be able to recognize all subsystems when showing a customer's donor history. Currently, the system only shows fundraising subsystem donations in the customer's giving history when there could have been a donation made as part of a membership dues renewal campaign.
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.
Although my usage of Oracle software was different in nature to Personify360, I prefer the Personify360 interface as it I found it more easier to use and needing less training to accomplish my tasks. I also believe that Personify360 was a less expensive option, while still offering essentially the same functionality. I can't speak for the support aspect of this software, as we never really need it!
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.
