Fonteva for Associations Reviews & Product Details

There are many robust capabilities on the horizon for us once our foundations within the database are strong. App integrations are much easier than with our previous database. Cloud basis means access is quick and easy from both the office, and a plane on the way to the conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intense customization has been required in order to tailor the AMS to our needs, many of which we weren’t expecting. lots of these customizations were built in UAT and didn’t transfer to production successfully, causing delays and hiccups in our go-live. Reporting in Salesforce is always a challenge with their object limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We conducted an in-depth search and review to evaluate and select an Association Management Software (AMS) for our medium sized Association. There are a variety of reasons as to why we selected Fonteva, but to summarize here are our main reasons for selecting this product.

1. User Experience - The SF Lightning and Fonteva user experience for our end users is clean, simple, and easy to learn. The flexibility it offers is clear and concise to staff and will make their day to day work much more efficient. The system is highly configurable.

2. Community Groups - For a chapter based association like ours there will be many benefits to having this feature enabled. Chapters will have a variety of accessible features that our current AMS doesn't easily offer.

3. Integration - We use a wide variety of other software to run our organization. Salesforce and Fonteva's ability to connect with and integrate is simple and cost efficient.

I highly recommend this a solution for your Association. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost can be a barrier for smaller associations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My organization transitioned to this system a few years ago and we are loving it. Fonteva makes our Annual Conference and summit events easy to navigate. The system is intuitive and user-friendly and I love how everything speaks to each other. Fonteva provides excellent step-by-step training and guides to make sure that users feel comfortable navigating the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently joined the organizations so I am still learning this system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer / technical consultant, when a customer is mentioning use cases involving "customer engagement" or "organize our member base" the first product that comes to mind is Fonteva Membership application (now called Fonteva for Associations?) This product easily saves me months of development for a product that I couldn't even compete with. Just like you don't want to build your own cloud based CRM product, why build your own customer engagement Salesforce functionality, when someone already did it cheaper, better, less buggy, and with a technical support team. Choosing Fonteva's software is often a no-brainer for my team and my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Custom development on top of the Fonteva platform can add unnecessary complexity to the application. Can add more dev time to the project since you are building on top of other's codes, but in the long run the time you save is usually far more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility and configurability are the two biggest reasons I love Fonteva’s system. Simplicity of set up and user-friendly interfaces are easy to learn and use right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much not to love about this system - it does just about anything a small association would need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fonteva is built on Salesforce; therefore you get the same ease. In which Fonteva does a lot of the leg work. The Fonteva team has been really good to work with and the training has been very helpful in understanding what are the capabilities and limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working on certain apps you have to switch to Lightning and Classic versions which can be confusing when you have to decide which version to use to get the task done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely easy to use and being built into salesforce makes the data available for easy reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup took longer than expected but this was mainly due to issues with data cleanliness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MemberNation (MN) has proven to be an excellent AMS. The product is customizable, which allows Admins to configure the system based on their origination's needs. MN has allowed us to streamline processes that were once done manually. The Fonteva team worked diligently to help us reach our target go-live date. Our Business Analyst, Sundeep Pulaskar, was crucial to the project's success, as he used his expertise to understand our business processes and guide our internal team on configuring MN.

Salesforce does have limitations on editing their managed packages which limits the Admin on certain configurations. However, we have found a work around solution for each of these limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that is very easy to get into and find what you need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little difficult to process things. Especially if your transaction process isn’t very simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MemberNation has solved so many of the problems that had plagued our organization for years. Issues with duplication, communication, and financial management were solved overnight in making the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't anything we don't like about MemberNation. The entire Fonteva staff did such a good job with the implementation that even our least tech-savvy staff members are using it. We thought for sure that at least half of our staff would not use MemberNation, simply because SalesForce was so different from what we were previously using, this was not that case.
