NetForum vs. ThreeSixty by Personify

netFORUm is generally good for small to medium membership organizations but can definitely pose problems in the amount of data and the reporting tools as the membership grows.

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.

• Can store a lot of information. There are many different modules and each module has a lot of spaces for details such as birthday, gender, spouse and children's names, emergency contact information, photos and more.
• Can be linked to our internal systems. Our awards system is run through our organization's website but the winners are sent to netFORUM so that their records indicate the awards and distinctions they have achieved without us having to manually enter all of these.
• Can provide a lot of reporting information which is useful for data collection or year-end reporting needs.

• 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.

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!
