    GrowthZone has opened up more opportunities for our members to see more of how they can be engaged. The ease of registration system has helped us stop registering members for events. No one calls because they can't access their account. Its been a great experience. I wish on boarding would have spent more time with reports that we used and how to replicate them.

    Pros

    Easy accessibility for our members to see more & be more in control of accessing benefits.
    Plus I love that its web based - easy check in. Saves time & money.

    Cons

    Financial Reports - We are still having trouble running good financial reports to see who owes us dues, etc. Support has been slow to answer or just sends us back to the videos we have already seen.

    I started out with ChamberMaster at a previous Chamber, and now have GrowthZone at my current post. Many things are the same yet still just different enough to be frustrating. BUT....after 3-4 years, I'm pretty much getting used to GZ.

    Pros

    There are many, many "things" that can be handled through GrowthZone, though a few other "things" would be nice for our types of industry.

    Cons

    The Customer Service turnaround time is very lax. I don't understand why GZ has elected to CLOSE on a Wednesday.....most likely one of the busiest "Chamber" days of the week, leaving many in the lurch, awaiting responses in a more timely manner.

    We chose GZ because it offered us the ability to use the same company for website development and hosting and AMS system ensuring compatibility. We are very happy with the look and feel of our website and the CMS used to manage it. Our migration to GZ for the AMS side was rocky at best. Our project manager had never gone through a detailed conversion before. While she was very service oriented and nice to work with, her inexperience caused many issues. We like GZ's ability to give a good view of member activity. I like that when I am on the phone with a member, I can see their engagement, make notes, and create follow up task items. G

    Pros

    The user interface, look, and feel of the back end. Also like the ability to integrate with the company website to create a good member only user experience. It also has a pretty good project management system, though it desperately needs push notifications via email. The only notification it provides is a badge count on the top menu of the software. So if you are disciplined to check there, the PM works well. GZ also has a certification/continuing education component which we find valuable.

    Cons

    Customer support needs work. GZ is very slow to respond to issues. Many times entered tickets are not responded to (first response) for 3 or more days (I am not counting the automated message generated that the ticket was received and someone would review). And, when the "front line" or 1st level support team reaches out, frequently they aren't completely familiar with the ins and outs of the software, so the first 3 emails or 15 minutes of the call are spent teaching them how the system works. The communications functionality has a great vision, but is inconsistent and extremely buggy. It is difficult and many times impossible to send a merged email to multiple members. Members get emails or newsletters with the fields not merged properly. It feels like the database was not developed with a vision and as the software was enhanced and features added, bandaids were placed on the tables to make them work together. Field naming is inconsistent and many times not working as a true relational database. Feels like a consequence of growing quickly and not having one responsible group overseeing the programming growth. Different naming philosophy throughout different modules.

    Pretty good overall but my onboarding left a lot to be desired. I think at the time no one really got what we were trying to do. Been fixing it ever since.

    Pros

    Flexibility and good support lately but we had real problems with your accounting people at the beginning.

    Cons

    Not designed for non-profit, so many terms are hard coded that don’t go well with our situation. Also accounting system is not flexible enough for our needs. Still have issues with similar reports not matching our records.
