Wild Apricot Reviews
Best solution for small to medium sized associations
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.
An Out of the Box Solution for Membership Management
Other than the issues described above with the payment gateway, we have been extremely pleased with our Wild Apricot experience.
Does the job but feels very outdated
It is functional and works, but has a lot of room for improvement--especially with the increase in cost.
Use with Multiple Organizations - A True Advocate
Eight years ago I went through a selection process and chose Wild Apricot and then implemented it. A HUGE step up from disparate systems on Excel, a separate website, and email. This year I led the selection and implantation process for a different organization and Wild Apricot came out on top again. Processing a new member went from one hour to minutes. Renewals from 30 minutes to zero. Sending out emails used to be a huge process. Now it's simple.
One thing I've noticed is that Wild Apricot continues to add and improve features. The website builder has gotten easier to use. And adding responsive themes and an easy-to-implement app is a huge plus.
Wild Apricot - robust non-profit management tool
Customer Service, online support and chat are all very helpful and easy to use. Telephonic customer service hours aren't too long but the service is good. There are also great video tools for implementation and getting started.

Best solution for small to medium sized associations
Pros
Easy of use, ability to customize the member database easily and the integrated content management system for a professional website.
Cons
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.
An Out of the Box Solution for Membership Management
Other than the issues described above with the payment gateway, we have been extremely pleased with our Wild Apricot experience.
Pros
Wild Apricot is a single source for nearly everything needed to manage a membership organization. It has revolutionized our database, taking it into the cloud, it has streamlined our renewal process, given us greater visibility into our email marketing, and overall allowed us to function more efficiently as an organization. Since its deployment, we've been able to replace the work of up to 2 FTE because of how Wild Apricot has allowed us to streamline our operations.
Cons
Their payment gateway, Wild Apricot Payments, does have some unique challenges that we are working through. It has errored out a number of times and there was no intuitive alert to let us know we were missing out on authorized donations. Their customer support team has been slower than we'd like to respond to these issues and have yet to provide a clear reason for them and any timeline for resolution.
Does the job but feels very outdated
It is functional and works, but has a lot of room for improvement--especially with the increase in cost.
Pros
It was very nice to have a software to organize our membership. The software was built into the website directly, so members can directly renew their membership while browsing the website. You can build different user permissions into different levels.
Cons
The UI of the websites you build with this and the backend feel outdated. I feel like the event tool could be more powerful, especially with how powerful you can easily build websites with Drupal/Wordpress. It would feel more like a membership program if the events could be dynamic with attendees, volunteers, being able to list what is still needed, etc. We found ourselves moving to Facebook or Next Door a lot to interact with our members.
Also, in the span of one year, our plan went up by $20/month, which was an extra $240 a year for our small, local advocacy group.

Pros
Integrated features for membership management, communications, event management, and website development. Great coaching services during implementation and then support after.
Cons
Nothing that would stop me from selecting it again. Some of the newer features like polls can use some development, and formatting is sometimes challenging. But the tradeoff for a fully integrated system is well worth it.

Pros
Software has lots of features that we were not getting from our previous event management software. In addition, we get a member directory and membership management all in one program.
Cons
The learning curve for using it is somewhat steep, but once that is conquered you can see the true value of the software
