Pros

“Combines membership management, event registration, email marketing, website management, and payment processing in a single system.”
EA

Emely A.

Chapter Administrator

“While the built-in website tools are convenient, organizations looking for highly customized designs may find them less flexible than dedicated web platforms.”
EA

“how it has a full suite of email marketing, website, event and member managment all in one.”
DM

Dennis M.

IT Services Manager

Pros

“Some onboarding steps and administrative requirements could be simplified, and the pricing may feel steep for independent users who do not need capacity for 100 members right away. Despite those frustrations, the platform offers a solid range of features and seems particularly effective for organizations focused on events, memberships, and community engagement.”

“There are multiple ways to access support, including email, live chat, consultation calls, interactive guides, and online help articles.”

“The customization options, event tracking tools, and support system are major strengths.”

Cons

“It’s not always user‑friendly. While support tickets are answered, the instructions for updating page content can be difficult, and numerous backend steps are required.”
KW

Kelly W.

Association Executive

“Some of the ways of finding and publishing pages is hard to figure out since we only use and update those pages annually.”
EC

Ed C.

Administrator

“The layout is not very modern, and it shows when we are trying to present a polished front end to members and the public.”
EH

Eshana H.

Administrator

Cons

“The apps feel much less modern and can be glitchy.”
TK

Tim K.

Draftsman

“Adding another administrator was frustrating for a one-person business.”
TD

“The conversion to AUD was very, very painful for our car club.”
