Overall, Nimble AMS and NimbleUser are great to work with. The system is built on top of Salesforce so there are a lot of 3rd party apps available in that work with the platform, and it's very easy to find developers that can help you. It's easy to use and training our staff was not an issue. NimbleUsers customer service department is execellent and very responsiveness.
My only reservation is that it seems that Nimble's work load has not been able to keep up with their growth. This has led to several delays on some additional projects once we went live.
Overall, I would recommend the product because it's lightyears ahead of our previous product, and it seems that Nimble is investing in additional resources to keep up with the demand.

Before I started to use Nimble AMS, I was heavily involved from a technical point of view with 2 other AMSs. By far Nimble AMS is the best. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros
1. The system is alway up and fast. Because it's based on Salesforce and Salesforce is a mega-product supporting large companies all over the world, you have excellent connectivity and infrastructure and we have never experienced any down time.
2. Nimble support team is awesome. I have never worked with a more talented and responsive team and I've been doing I.T. for many years. We get a fast turnaround 90% of the time.
3. Because it's Salesforce, scheduling backups is a breeze. And you don't have to think much about it.
4. It's possible to import data and basic contacts are very simple to do.
5. There is a Salesforce mobile app that requires practically nothing to setup and maintain.
6. Nimble folks are very responsive to improving their product, new releases come out automatically 3 times a year along with Salesforce's
7. Basic reporting is easy, but see 'cons' about more complex reporting.
10. Adding custom fields and modifying screens is also easy.
11. Salesforce has a very tight security model,
12. You can create workflows and automations fairly easy.
Cons:
1. It is a little costly compared to others.
2. The reporting tool is not as robust as I wish. When I think report, I think more in terms of Crystal reporting with formating abilities - but this is more like a query result. But I suspect any cloud based AMS would be the same. Also there are some limitations to the number of objects (tables) you can join and sometimes we have to create 2 or 3 reports and manipulate the data outside of Salesforce to get our end result. I'm surprises Salesforce does not have a better out-of-box solution. But there are tons of app add-ins that work better for additional costs.
3. Because Nimble is a breed of it's own, classes for Nimble specific admin skills did not exist when we went live, however Nimble does have 2 levels of admin training now. If you go to Salesforce classes, they include objects or functions that either may not be included in your Nimble license or not applicable to Associations.
4. One thing that you may wish to consider is that Nimble has chosen to use Salesforce's 'person-accounts' data model. Nimble does not use the Contact object that is most common for many 3rd party integrators - so if you require integrations with your AMS, you may want to make sure that your vendor understands the Nimble's person-accounts.
Thanks for reading my review!

Second time for me to do a transition from an old clunky AMS to the dynamic Salesforce Platform with NimbleUSer and the results are the same. Powerful, flexible and easy to use for both staff and our constituents.
With all the changes over the last 18 months in the AMS world, there is one constant and that is the platform you use. Salesforce is by far the best platform to run your association.
Next is the team that backs the software and no one comes close to the quality, knowledge, and experience of both software and association management experience as the team at NimbleUser.
You become part of the family and that family cares about you, your association and your constituents.

Nimble is my go-to when working with young, upstart groups that need an AMS. From the integrations with outlook & gmail to mailchimp, it's a can't miss for the budget. Eventually, you'll want to grow into something more robust, but for young co's that don't have a dedicated database teammember it's the best place to start.

The product overall is good and suits our need since we have customization on membership and accounting. However, it's using person account, which is main obstacle for us to integrate with other apps on SF.
The transition between implantation team and support team is a little lacking . In quite a few cases , we the client has to update the support team what's going on and how the system was set up in order for them to understand the provide the support. Documentations are also not quite complete.

When our organization selected Nimble as the AMS, they were hoping to also use the Salesforce Enterprise platform as a CRM, fundraising and development tool, and business operations where they can track leads and opportunities. However, Nimble had limitations due the person account model. Currently, we only using Nimble as the AMS and other programs in the organization are forced to use excel and access to manage functions that could be handled by Salesforce. Customizing Nimble or our Salesforce environment has been difficult because the system is locked down. Also, they charge clients for every small enhancement that should really be part of the product development.
