I find the ability to produce reports on giving, attendance very helpful. Furthermore, I like the ability to mass communicate (text, email) and the ability for members to update their information. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the latest updates take a while to reach our system. The pricing system can be confusing at times. ----- ### "review of SimpleChurch CRM" — 5.0/5 > **Susan** | *9 June 2020* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can quickly get addresses or other information. ease of background checks. > > **Cons**: I do not like having to download every report. Sometimes I just want to view and/or print the information without having to save it first. when contributions are entered, I would also like the giving summary to be a separate page. It would also be convenient if the report could be emailed from the program. Cannot find or review bulk emails or find out if they made it to the recipients. > > I find it quite easy to use. ----- ### "Better than Nothing" — 3.0/5 > **Joy** | *26 April 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: (1) Having member information at our fingertips. (2) Combined Giving Portal that automatically populates with our members giving records. (3) Attendance records (when they work) > > **Cons**: (1) Many times devices can't access member information. Random members will populate but not the ones we are searching for. (2) Different devices reflect different data (example: I show attendance 100 and the person standing next to me shows on 82). And yes, each of us have logged out and logged back in... nothing changes except sometimes it is worse after logging back in. (3) The Giving portal is not user friendly for the \*business side. It is a waste of time and troublesome to contact each giver when they select OTHER as a giving category. All because SC will not allow there to be a fill in the blank feature when selecting OTHER. (4) Not to mention the lack of communication on the Giving Portal reports. If SC is going to take back money, it should be reflected on a report. Instead I have to submit a Support Ticket to find out why the reports don't balance with the money actually deposited. That is basic reporting-show everything. (5) Many times reports are missing. We can't close out the month on the finance side because we don't know where to apply the monies given. > > For the most part it is a good software. It will work for now. ----- ### "Review requested by SimpleChurchCRM 4/2020" — 4.0/5 > **Deborah** | *6 April 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is pretty easy to use. It is much like our former software but more up to date in terms of technology. Creating a directory is much nicer than our former software, once I can determine how I want it listed. Statements are quite simple to create, again in comparison to the former system. There are several options we don't use based on the size of the church, but what we do use is user friendly. > > **Cons**: 1. Having to reenter the person's name when doing the contribution breakdown each week. If they have say 4 different funds they contribute to, I need to make sure I have the correct name and the correct fund. We are a small church so this isn't a massive problem, more of an irritant. 2. The "More" button on the contribution side in order to add comments. It flashes on and off when you are trying to click on it. You think you have it for the one person and it has moved down to an empty spot. It gets in the way when trying to enter the dollar amount and opens up the comments section. Thought: create a "more" button, click on that and it opens up the comments spot instead of "chasing" the "more" button as it currently is. 3. Statements, directories, are more masculine oriented. Can't print up Mr and Mrs Jones on statements for example, it is one or the other. > > I honestly don't see any massive changes or business issues solved. It is asking for essentially the same information as with our former software, but more can be entered. ----- ### "Disappointed" — 4.0/5 > **Judy** | *11 July 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software took over for a program we used for many years but was no longer supported by Microsoft. Our files were transferred over, almost seamlessly. The software was not difficult to learn and was pretty easy to use for most of our daily needs. > > **Cons**: The data base problem that someone else mentioned, has proven to be problematic. Our biggest problem though, is in using the on-line directory function of the software. Changes made by the administrator do not automatically update on users' apps unless they reload the entire app itself. This is very frustrating for staff and parishioners alike. The Pledge function is also awkward to use and keep updated. > > I always get quick responses from the on-line support people but they often can't help, tell me that I can't do what I want to do with the software or don't seem to understand the problem. They are nice but I have been unsuccessful is solving my most pressing problems. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/34922/simplechurch-crm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/34922/simplechurch-crm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
