Anthology, Inc
Importing and exporting data is failry easy. Automation for e-mail marketing is severely lacking.

It is well suited in a public media organization that uses a separate tool for tracking donor touches and engagement and has a separate donation page. In my opinion, it is not a great use case if you are looking for something intuitive or easy to use.

Cons
Anthology, Inc
  • A more inclusive duplicate identification tool would be great.
  • QR tickets for event registrants would be great and move you into this century.
  • Allowing more flexibility with event creation is vital to us at this time.
  • Additional automation would be great. Email event info, then to those not registered, then a reminder to those registered. Now it is entirely manual throughout the entire process.

It does not have the automation or event tools that we are desperately needing at this time.

MemSys was selected because of its features specific to public media. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it does not show features that would enable it to compete with other CRM systems well.

Return on Investment
Anthology, Inc
  • The cleanup process is very painful due to lack of any automation
  • Identity checkpoint would be great if we could control the fields being matched.

  • Decrease in donor retention due to slow receipting and access to our special features
  • Slowed productivity due to increased manual entry from lack of integration with various payment processors.
