iMIS vs. NetForum

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.

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.

• iMIS has many modules that can be purchased seperately based on the organizations needs.
• The CMS component enables you to build member websites to display member profiles and implement business processes for the members.

• 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.

• It was difficult for various departments to customize the functionality of iMis without it impacting the organization as a whole.
• I often felt restricted and limited when using iMis. I do not feel that this software is current with today’s technology.
• It did not sync well with Authorize.net. Therefore, I had to do double data entry. This let to me needing to hire on more staff.

• need more users
• better search

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.

• 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.
