We decided on VeryConnect after a thorough review of the market, and they won out from quite an extensive long and then short list. Given the requirements we had against the costs, it was pretty much only down to VeryConnect.
They were very accomodating and supportive throughout development and go live for two instances of the product and have continued with this support after the launch.
Pros
We were looking for a low cost but effective system to move two small societies off of a legacy system, that while out of date still delivered some complicated functionality. We needed a reliable company, and for a number of reasons a UK one was preferable (as it turned out, a very wise choice).
The VC team are very knowledgeable and gave helpful advice through out the process, who focus on customer service and have given a lot to build a long term, trusting and friendly relationship.
The platform is customisable for your branding, has pretty much all the modules you need for running all aspects of your society. There is little we can fault with the system (but note I have been very picky to add something in the cons). The team is quick to implement changes and they are updating the system with new features all the time.
Their licensing is a very strong point compared to many per seat membership/CRM systems. Licensing is based on number of users, which includes all users, to be precise your admins and admin support don't require a separate seat license. e.g. you have up to 500 users, as many of these as you wish can actually administer the system. I'm not suggesting you let all your members in to the back end, but where you may really on volunteers for certain aspects of your societies activities, this can make quite a difference.
Cons
So to be picky, and I am confident these will resolve in future releases.
1. I would like to see a more comprehensive in system way of highlighting and balancing off refunds against payments (the way it works, works, but could be improved).
2. I would like to see the ability to save and retrieve your custom built reports in system (the work around is to build templates in excel, I would prefer in system).

Our overall experience has been a positive one. VeryConnect are a small business and have worked to meet our needs in a flexible and consistent way.
Pros
I like the intuitive nature of the platform, the automated emails are fantastic, the report functions are good, it is easy to data cleanse and ensure we have accurate information stored in one place. Also really like the tagging elements of the platform, easy to categorise our members.
Cons
The lack of control over elements such as editing our filtering categories for members, turning on and off different automated emails. Uploading different event templates. We want to be able to do it ourselves but currently have to ask VeryConnect to do a lot of this for us - takes time and doesn't allow us to act in an agile way.

Overall, I am pleased with the platform so far. However, I do want to say we've only been on the live site for about a month and we haven't actually launched it with our stakeholders yet. So I am not 100% sure of how it is working for us. I will say that they were incredibly responsive and accommodating to an organization that wanted to use their platform for something atypical to their normal customers. I really appreciated that they were willing to build things specific to our needs.
Pros
We selected VeryConnect to replace an existing solution that went out of business. We were looking for a way to regularly post public content to multiple stakeholder groups that could be tailored to each audience. We were also looking for something to engage work group members in closed groups. VeryConnect met both needs with a public facing landing page and the ability to tag content that is linked from those landing pages. And with a backend to engage registered members.
Cons
There is no help documentation. In order to figure out how to use the system, I had to just play around it and ask questions. But it is hard to ask about things you don't know you don't know - such as they can create different role permissions if you need them. But I didn't even know to ask about it to start. Also, with out the help documentation, its hard to know if what I am asking is something the platform is built to do, or if I am asking for something special. In our build out, I would frequently realize later they were building something specific to just us because I asked. However, I would have been happy to find a work around if I just knew that it wasn't a typical feature. The fact that they did build those things was amazing though.

How Very Connect has transformed our communication with members
Reviewed on 14/04/2022
Pros
The decision to implement Very Connect Software was originally taken to improve the back office systems for the alumni organisation.
The software makes this really easy to manage, both by the members and the administrators. However, what we didn't appreciate was that we were gaining so much more. We have a social media and email platform that enables us to communicate with our members and for them to communicate with us.
This is a private members platform, not available to the public, and we also like the ability that members can choose their own privacy settings. If they want to be contacted by other members, then they can make their details available, but they can also choose to hide their email and other details yet still remain paying members and receive Newsletters and other publications.
The platform connects to our finance system and the time taken to manage subscription payments has been reduced considerably. We can generate a report and follow up any lapsed members really quickly and easily.
The implementation was seamless. However, we did aim for very clean data import and spent months ensuring that each member had correct details and this work paid off.
In the first six months since we went 'live', our membership numbers grew by 27%. The growth was mainly from young members, but we have two members aged 92 who were able to sign up to the new platform with ease. One member said by email "The website looks great! I love it."
Cons
The only drawback so far is there isn't a phone App. However, our own web designer is in the process of designing a website app for us and we hope this will go 'live' in May 2022
Reasons for Switching to VeryConnect
We found that Very Connect offered to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] the platform to our needs and we didn't have to shoehorn our database into a pre-existing format. We took a look at some of the organisations that already used Very Connect and found that they were similar to us - in our case an alumni association.- Industry: Nonprofit Organization Management

5 years with VeryConnect
Reviewed on 21/04/2023
Pros
We have been customers of VeryConnect for over 5 years. We had initial 'must haves' and 'would like to haves' and this has developed over the years to our satisfaction. The platform continues to evolve and delivers everything we need. We have a maintenance contract in place and use this on a regular basis. VeryConnect provide consistent support, help and advice to our small team of staff and are always helpful and provide us with suggestions and other options which help use immensely.The system is an all-in-one system and adds value to the SCS membership. It is simple to use. I would recommend anyone wishing to host their membership database to talk to VeryConnect - you will not be disappointed and will have the benefit with working with a friendly team who have your best interests at heart.
Cons
There is nothing I can think of which I liked least about VeryConnect. They listen to our needs and return to us with solutions.
