We have used Aplos for 3 years now. The integration was extremely smooth. The program was very easy to learn. When I have questions, the call center is able to answer them. The ability to report by department is awesome and has really helped our department heads to manage their budgets more efficiently. Our annual audit has been much easier since we can pull the information needed very easily from Aplos. I also love that the cost of Aplos is very reasaonable compared to other products we looked into before choosing Aplos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to report on two levels of tags. For example, by department AND project. I would like to have an option in the drop-down list for report date range to be YTD through last month because each month when I do custom reports I have to plug in the dates each time and it is time consuming.

The program is very user friendly. Has all the reports that a church would need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to pay for help if you need more than just a simple question or problem resolved. The private assistance is very expensive so if the video training videos don't answer your questions be prepared to pay $100 an hour for their personalized assistance. I was able to find help with a private company for less money per hour as I had some issues that weren't able to be resolved using the videos. Just FYI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful feature of Aplos is all the training videos they offer. The customer service is great, too! You almost never need to call Customer Service because the company is very pro-active in putting out articles and videos of features that you may have questions about. When you do ask a question to Aplos, you receive timely answers to your concerns. They have reports that can easily be customized to how you want to report your accounting information. They have helpful checklists for many tasks. Examples of checklists: Monthly, year-end, payroll, etc. When we began to use Aplos the software is extremely easy to use and didn't take a software expert to begin setting up the Chart of Accounts or making register entries. When we had an audit, it was very easy get reports for the Auditor and for him/her to use the software as a read-only user. I gave him/her an auditor log-in and the auditor was able to see what they needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trying to decide what reports to use! There are so many various reports and you can customize them so easily, I found it challenging to get our Council Members to give me feedback on the reports they wanted to see. I think it would be helpful to have some reports designated as standard reports so that you could say to the Council these are recommended standard reports for churches. Then as the Council Members get used to reading them and need or request more information, you can then introduce a customized report to them. Being a financial minded person, I loved the variety of reports and customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using APLOS for a year and it works great for our church. It is easy to understand, and they have created a lot of tutorials that can help your team.

Thanks,

The names of the reports don't always match what my accountants ask me for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fund-based, and as a non-profit, it has been the most functional and best software I've used in 20 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price jumps from when we began to use the site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was super helpful that they imported all of the finances and gave them beginning balances, and took great care to make sure that everything was done with 100% accuracy when we began the implementation process. They also were helpful along the way teaching and training me on all of the different options re: bank integration, journal entries, bank reconcilliation, reports, additional functions, etc. I can access it from anyware and use it almost daily.

They have moved to a chat / email system rather than hopping on a call / hopping on a zoom meeting where one could screen share and problem solve colabratitvly. I find that when leadership wants an answer it's often time sensitive and to get an email response back that says they will get back within 24 hours is soul crushing.

Aplos is specifically designed for non-profit accounting, so I don't have to twist anyting into a preztel to get it to work the way I need it to. Even for a layperson the layout and features make sense. Running reports is easy, and shows me where I stand quickly. The friendly staff of Aplos are always there to asnwer any questions I have. I have used Aplos since 2014. I am a nonprofit Executive DIrector. Aplos makes wearing many hats easier. I highly recommend it to any church or nonoprofit that is looking for many features that are fully integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes a popup box is in the way of buttons I want to press and I have to wait for it to disappear. In downloaded reports, the cells are sometimes merged so it is hard to put funcitons in place for certain columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
