Best solution for small to medium sized associations
Comentarios: WildApricot is an excellent solution for managing association memberships and websites. The solution includes basic eCommerce and the ability to build a website with the Wild Apricot CMS - you can also connect easily to other website tools. Members love the easy of managing their own profiles and the other features for member communications.
Puntos a favor:
Easy of use, ability to customize the member database easily and the integrated content management system for a professional website.
Contras:
The software does not allow you to determine the membership ID within he system. This creates a challenge for any organization that already has a member number schema.

Cost Effective Website and Database
Comentarios: Overall Wild Apricot is a great tool for associations and/or others who need to process dues payments, event registrations and keep up with your clients.
Puntos a favor:
Wild Apricot makes it easy to process registrations for events, dues payments and store purchases in addition to being a website. It is very easy to use. There are user groups that you can join to get help from other users. Also, it is very easy to create a manual invoice for things that I might need a product for or a registration. There is also an app for administrators which is super convenient when to try to look up open invoices, etc. when away from the office.
Contras:
There are several features that should be available that are not. First and foremost there should be the availability within in the software to create a pdf and email it to contacts. The store does not appear to be integrated with the mail database and there are not a lot of reports. When I have orders from my store I have to constantly watch for duplicates. There is also not an email report to run that will search for possible duplicates in the system.

Wild Apricot Review
Comentarios: Overall, my experience with Wild Apricot was positive. The platform provided a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for managing membership-based organizations. The intuitive interface and customization options allowed for easy branding and personalization. The event management features were robust and simplified the planning and execution of events. The integrated communication tools facilitated effective member engagement. While there were limitations in customization and reporting, Wild Apricot served as a reliable and efficient platform for managing memberships and engaging with members. The responsive customer support was also helpful in addressing any questions or issues that arose.
Puntos a favor:
One of the things I liked most about Wild Apricot was its user-friendly interface and ease of use. Navigating through the platform and accessing its features was intuitive, making it simple to manage and maintain membership-based organizations. The ability to customize the website and membership portal was a standout feature, allowing for seamless branding and personalization. The event management module was comprehensive and made organizing and tracking events a breeze. Additionally, the integrated email marketing and communication tools were effective in engaging with members.
Contras:
While Wild Apricot had many positive aspects, one thing I liked least was the limited flexibility in customizing certain aspects of the platform. There were some design limitations, and advanced customization options required technical expertise or assistance from support. Additionally, the reporting capabilities, while adequate for basic needs, could have been more robust with additional analytics and data visualization options. It would have been beneficial to have more flexibility in tailoring the platform to meet specific organizational requirements.

Company cash cow not in tune with the needs of users in 2023
Comentarios: Extremely dissatisfying in every respect, the product, the customer service, th e lack of transparency, the company principals and developers are bunkered in where nobody from the public can have direct access to a human. The price increases in the past several years that there have been no innovations on this platform that the customers have been asking form judging by the forum, since 2014, several [sensitive content hidden] ago. Evidently this platform is something that keeps switching hands as every new [sensitive content hidden] tries to milk this cash cow.
Puntos a favor:
I don't like anything about it compared to other platforms, I inherited it
Contras:
Complete lack of response to customer needs, the program is inflexible, archaic, no improvements have been made in years and no attention is paid to the user forum where customers have been requesting basic functionality that was available on other platforms in the 1990s. Their support materials - check them out - now all start with an article telling you what the platform CAN'T do. In these, you'll find lists of all the functions that normal platforms a fraction of the cost of this one have been doing routinely since the internet was invented, like, oh...being able to proof the copy of a blog before it goes live, or schedule an event on a calendar to blast out at a specific date and time - a feature that is available on another part of their platform but not in the event module - I could go on for a long time. Customer service is useless, all they do when you finally get them on a chat is send links to articles that describe how customers needing more flexibility can add custom css. Isn't that the developers' job? Or they refer you to their 'partners.' My organization interviewed 4 of their partners. None of them had knowledge of css, or any more access to the staff at Wild Apticot than the general public. Their disregard for the needs of their users is shocking.

Friendly Website Design and Membership Management System
Comentarios: With Wild Apricot's assistance, we are able to easily add new events and maintain our website current with our ever-evolving needs. In addition to keeping tabs on emails and contacts. All of the personnel and volunteers of the several non-profit trade associations we oversee are constantly busy. Making a living in this industry is exciting and challenging, and there is never a dull moment.
Puntos a favor:
I appreciate not having to ask anyone else to help me run the website or set up events. If you have a basic understanding of computers, you should have no trouble getting about. You can customize your page and report generation in a number of ways.
Contras:
When I have a question about how to use the site, I wish I could talk to a real person. It would be fantastic if there was a real assistance line.
