Advanced Church

What do you like best?

It's an all encompassing software package. There is incredible levels with it - unfortunately it also comes with an incredible price tag. I also like that it has an incredible tech support behind it. You do get what you pay for - make sure though you need the Cadillac of church management software.

What do you dislike?

As you can guess, my first concern is price. Churches (in general) have less and less to spend as buildings age as do contributors. I've been an interim and other wise helped multiple churches with technology. NONE OF THEM had the budget for ACS software. And the kicker is that even for those who do, if they look around, might find better offerings out there. Also, be ready for some serious learning time - which can be a real problem with non-technical volunteers / staff.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Shop around. Be sure of what you need. You can pay alot for management software.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The value of an all-encompassing software package for help with church management and the combination / interfacing with donors. Having such reduces needless paperwork and errors between software. Way too often, churches try to pinch hit with rough solutions.
