"Planning Center Resources is a great addition to the PCO suite—to manage rooms."

4/5

What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar?

The fact that there is a native mobile app is a huge plus. Some of the other modules don't have native apps. It's nice that this one finally does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

It's a little clunky... especially because we have a lot of data from old rooms and buildings that we no longer have... and from the older versions. It will take a bit of time to clean it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar:

This could be used as a standalone product or with the rest of the modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's great for our admin teams to manage rooms and areas that need to be reserved on a weekly basis. It is easy to use for the end-user managing offices and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PCO The Way To GO"

5/5

What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar?

First off the name changed to Planning Center Calendar this year from Planning Center Resources. This software is very user-friendly. If you know anything about navigating a database, you can probably figure it out without any training, but they also offer a wide selection of video tutorials and documents to help, plus a fairly quick email response channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

Their reporting system could use a little upgrade. It does an amazing job of reporting on any custom or installed field, but adjusting the feilds and layout would be most helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar:

If you don't need to do in-depth reporting, this is a great product to consider. Their whole suite of modules are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We schedule all our facilities, and all staff can see it and know what is happening. It also organizes resources (tables, chairs, coffee makers, whatever you put in), which helps us to not overbook at conferences or school events. It has a pretty good permission system—no worries of someone getting in there and messing it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar?

Like that it is so user friendly and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

Registrations is nice but it’s often confusing for users to navigate. The log in is confusing...it’s easy to create multiple accounts that doesn’t capture all the users data over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Great Way To Streamline Facility Use And Organization Master Calendar"

5/5

What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar?

We very recently started using planning center resources which is now called planning center calendar. We love the approval system that is built into Calendar for the request thing of different rooms and resources. This allows us to select different staff members and approval groups per event. This is helped us to get along farther faster with less email clutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

Setting up planning center calendar in the resources that you will need will take some time. I think that was our largest hurdle and why it took us so long to implement it. But if you take the time on the front end to really create the system that you were looking for within planning center calendar it will go a long way to help your staff and team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar:

Like with all other planning center apps planning center calendar works best if you were implementing it with the entire family of planning center software. We really found that planning center resources, again now it’s called planning center calendar, has been a game changer for how we work internally as a staff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I first started at my organization the master calendar was a white calendar on the back of the door. No one looked at it and there was a lot of conflict in terms of who had requested a room to use and Win. Now with planning center calendar all of our facility usage and departmental events are in one place on a really easy review calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Planning Center Resources has simplified my life!"

5/5

What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar?

I LOVE PC Resources! I love that every member of my team can add their own events to the calendar and wait for approval. It doesn't stop with one person always having to be asked "What's available on the calendar?" Everyone in the organization has access to the calendar and can see what we have coming up. It's incredible and SO user friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

I dislike that you can't see the resources you need for each room - the details - one the front screen. You have to click thru three or four difference screens just to see all the notes people leave. But, that is a very small con to an infinite amount of pros!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar:

I would 100% recommend PC Resources! So far, it has much more pros for our organization than other software like Microsoft calendars and such. It's much more user friendly, especially when you have in-house and out-house staff members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you?

PC Resources is solving SO many problems! We can now solve so many conflicts in our organization with different building usage conflicts. Now, everyone knows what is happening when and in what building, so there is no longer multiple people fighting for the same building/room. A HUGE benefit is that this calendar can be downloaded to your computer or phone and be readily available! Also, there is an app where you can add your own events and you don't have do it thru a computer or website. Everyone is so happy with this system and its use in our organization.
