Almabase vs. iMIS

Smaller fundraising shops that use RE NXT are definitely well suited to use Almabase. I know there are other connections they offer but I am not able to speak to them. Almabase customer support is very easy to work with and they are quick to respond. They also listen closely and make quick improvements based on requests, when possible.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

It is set up logically for the most part and is intuitive to those using it to track attendees (super easy check-in kiosk process), map and process gifts, and create and track registrants for events. There are easy ways to stay in contact with registrants regardless if they have a full record in the parent system.

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.
