## Fonteva for Associations Reviews
  ### 1. Great sales, poor delivery, disappointing product

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Fonteva for Associations?**

The events module is very good and very robust.  I love that end users can transfer paid registration from one contact to another within their org.   

The end-user portal is okay and getting better.  

E-commerce is reliable.   Like that they use Spreedly as an intermediary so you can connect almost any gateway / merchant account to the shopping cart without customizations.  

**What do you dislike about Fonteva for Associations?**

Financial and accounting functionality is very bad.   They have THE most convoluted data model for invoices I have ever seen that makes everything more complex than it needs to be.   Here are the records related to one transaction:
Sales Order
    Sales Order lines
Invoice
    Invoice lines
Receipt
     Receipt lines
Transaction - 
     Transaction lines

As a result, anything but the simplest of transactions (say returning an overpayment to a customer, or transferring a payment from one invoice to another) involves convoluted series of non-intuitive steps that take easily 10 x longer than in our current CRM which was designed in 2011.  
Essentially, the accounting data model is fundamentally flawed.  Future enhancements can only put lipstick on this pig.  

There is no support to batching transactions for general ledger import
Everything is wide open, there are no data integrity controls out of the box, people can delete or modify posted transactions, you make changes to child objects that change the relationship to the parent, you can edit general ledger accounts after the fact.  
There is no integration for ERP systems
Lots of things that you expect to have a standard in a revenue sub-ledger system are not there.  
You can't run an Accounts Receivable report to show the balances as of a date in the past. 

Membership functionality is limited.  

Professional services for implementation are horrible.   The company is doing really well with its sales and is not expanding its implementation ability to keep up.   They have some good business analysts, but most of them are severely overstretched and unable to really pay attention.   Our project manager has 14 other open projects.   They make promises and consistently miss them.  Our eight-month implementation is actually taking about 20 months.   Some of that is due to us, but most of it can be tied to their poor delivery and dramatic over-promising in the sales cycle.  

**Recommendations to others considering Fonteva for Associations:**

Don't do it.   Don't use any salesforce-based AMS.    Salesforce looks really cool, and for many things it is great, but when it comes to association management tasks, it is convoluted and very expensive.  Once you are in, you will have to spend way more money than you anticipated to get the desired results.  It requires a ton of customization to handle even the most basic tasks that an AMS like iMIS mastered a decade ago. 

**What problems is Fonteva for Associations solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Customer Relationship Management, customer billing, marketing, ebusiness/shopping cart, customer portal
