A Review Site That Will Create Transparency in the Competitive AMS World

When you’re hanging around your association executive fellows, it doesn’t take long for the conversation to digress to the topic of the association management system (AMS). And when it does, no association exec is lacking emotion about the technology that they have to use every day.

Selecting an AMS is one of the most important investments an association has to make. And as humans, we highly value the opinions of our family, friends, and peers. With these two things in mind, Review My AMS has been born. Review My AMS is a website where executives can speak openly and honestly about their experiences with their AMS.

The site allows association executives to anonymously review, comment on, and rate their AMS based on customer service, ease of use, reliability, and customization. End users share their review for free then they get to read all the reviews of their peers for free. It’s a beautiful thing!

...the biggest positive of this platform is the very easy learning curve, its user-friendly interface, and its reliability. The staff who use the AMS have little to no developer experience, and it has been easy for them to interact with the database. It’s easy to figure out where you need to go for different functions. It has also been quite reliable. Usually when there is an error (with a membership payment, etc.) it is because there is something not set up correctly on our end. We haven’t gone through any outages, and we really like this...

The customer service is very good, customizations can get expensive, but I think that's the same for all AMSs, but it is robust and all the bits and pieces work together. I think the biggest drawback right now is that it wasn't built for smartdevices (no responsive design going on here) and with so much interaction with the database moving to mobile devices, it's going to inhibit the product in the near future...
