I feel one of the best things about the software is the people behind it. Every time I have called they have gone out of their way to help me. They have even incorporated changes that I have suggested.
It has allowed me the ability to save and retrieve information on church membership.
Pros
Plenty of standard features yet the ability to create data fields that fit your ministry needs.
Cons
Searches of the database can be improved by adding boolean formulas (i.e. and/or) in searches to enable the selection of multi data sets of information.

Being able to contact everyone with one email or text.

Having to turn my cell phone sideway to use. That makes it awkward for me to use. Other than that, no issues with it.

I use it multiple times a week to send bulk emails and texts, look up family information and names, and to check attendance records.
Pros
It's all in one place. One link gets me to multiple options.
Cons
I have not run across anything I don't like. There are more options included in our package than what we use regularly. The only CON is that we may not be that we aren't getting our money's worth, ;-)

I have recommended it to every church that has called me about possibly using it.
I personally like how easy it is to log attendance and keep track of it monthly.
An accommodating way to track donors, donations and generate statements.
Pros
It is fairly intuitive and easy to move around the various screens and find the information needed.
Cons
It is a bit difficult to figure out how to get some reports if you aren't familiar with the software.

The congregation has loved using the Prayer Wall and we have already cut down on meetings and increased communication using the Prayer Wall as a discussion board for several of our ministry groups and teams.
We have had this software for several years now, and I personally don't want to change it. I have turned down ACS people and others because they can't beat the price or the ease of use. Thank You to our reps for creating this product!
Pros
easy to use, always adding new updates, up to date functions, easy for members to use.
Cons
I would like to see maybe a training course for members to come and see over a power point or something like that so that I can get more of them to use it.

Software is great for any size of church, make sure your members learn early on how to use it, Sunday school attendance is awesome on here. Get your members to be excited about it and to put their pictures on it.
