Pros

“Combines membership management, event registration, email marketing, website management, and payment processing in a single system.”

Emely A.

Chapter Administrator

“While the built-in website tools are convenient, organizations looking for highly customized designs may find them less flexible than dedicated web platforms.”

Emely A.

Chapter Administrator

“how it has a full suite of email marketing, website, event and member managment all in one.”

Dennis M.

IT Services Manager

Pros

“Very positive; we originally moved to Elvanto from another church database management system because of cost and the excellent customer service Elvanto provided; this was in the early years of Elvanto starting up.”

Monica P.

Lead Pastor

“You have to get a third party messaging system in order to send text messages in Elvanto.”

Greg W.

Lead Pastor

“It seems as though, since being purchased by Tithe.ly that the suite is being put on the back burner in terms of development. ”

Terry I.

Office Administrator and Bookkeeper

Cons

“It’s not always user‑friendly. While support tickets are answered, the instructions for updating page content can be difficult, and numerous backend steps are required.”

Kelly W.

Association Executive

“Some of the ways of finding and publishing pages is hard to figure out since we only use and update those pages annually.”

Ed C.

Administrator

“The layout is not very modern, and it shows when we are trying to present a polished front end to members and the public.”

Eshana H.

Administrator

Cons

“The giving integration with Tithe.ly that was only one-way was a source of irritation.”
