The AMS landscape is evolving rapidly. With the ever-changing nature of technology, older comments can sometimes provide a skewed view to the person seeking feedback. Archived reviews are more than 60 months old, and aren't counted towards the average five star ratings or percent recommended.

A big broad powerful system at a really good price point.

Your Membership (now Community Brands) is a really broad system, membership management, really powerful event management (we've run several multi day conferences through it), Groups (or chapters) Special Interest Groups or regions, SocialLink for building a community (with mobile app), intergrated Content Management System to run your website, and loads more for a really competitve price, gives you the functionality of MS Dynamix or Salesforce for a fraction of the price. It's not perfect and any system will expect you to do some things it's way rather than the way you might like to do things but, that said we haven't found anything that we have not been able to do. Team it up with YM's Learning Management System and Careers platform and you've got membership, learning and jobs all under one roof, so to speak.

We implemented in 6 months, with 10,000 members and a re-structured membership fees system, created a new website and launched 2 months prior to our bulk of renewals in january without any major problems, thanks to the support of the YM inlementation team and Joe and Melinda of Starkweather Association Services. Both YM and Starkweather now have a permanant UK support/consultancy presence. We've recently added YM's Learning Management System to our members portfolio of resources.

For the money a really strong and powerful platform for any small to medium association in the US or UK.
