The integration with our church management software makes our job of curating accurate lists to send to easy and efficient. Much better than other texting sofware companies we have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to choose something it would be that the integration is sometimes difficult to access. It takes several times doing it to learn how to add new lists to sync daily. If the integration could be triggered from the Planning Center end like MailChimp is that would be AMAZING! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Planning Center integration! It's so great to be able to use this to reach our church mid-week in a way more casual than email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, not much. If anything is too hard to figure out their sales team is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is user friendly and when I have trouble getting my file to convert to CSV it gives me an example file to follow.

It reaches all the students we are texting. Easy to add a picture.

We use it often for a big events, like Fields of Faith, and Camps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't anything that I don't like about it. If there was 1 thing it would be getting my spreadsheet of numbers to match the .csv file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clear stream supports us in being able to effectivly communicate with our congregation. We utalize it for sending in prayer requests, key words for events and parents being able to stay connected while they're kids are away at church events, connection cards, etc. Clearstream is excellent with they're updates and the way they communicate those changes is super streamlined and crystal clear.

We have used it for about 3 years with our church. It is affordable and easily interacts with out church database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, we haven't really had many issues. It has been fantastic to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to not only connect to people exactly where they are and have an extradordinarily high read rate, Clearstream allows us to get responses from folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface has a ton of features, which can be a little overwhelming/has a decent learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love being able to text people without everyone who visits the church having my personal phone number. I appreciate the ability to be able to choose to use a short or long code to send a text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is tedious to enter new people individually. I'm not sure what could be done about that, but it's my least favorite thing about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We find the people we are connected to best respond to text messages. Clear stream is our go to choice to make that happen! Easy to text, and easy to get responses. Along with the ability to integrate with other software suites we use and it's a winning combination! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two things I need clear stream to fix. First, I am always switching to "load desktop version" when I need to do something on the fly because the mobile experience is a bit lacking.

Second, how texts come in when someone replies to our marketing messages. They come in horribly chopped up segments and NOT in order! Sometimes I can't even make out what someone is saying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clearstream has integration with CCB, which is a a people management software we use, and all the different types of groupings we have in CCB, have been integrated to Clearstream well. The integration is necessary for us. With options to send digital media files, it makes our texts more dynamic than just simple text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This isn't a deal breaker but hopefully Clearstream will alow for .gif files to be used. For certain groups we have and are trying to reach (like youth groups), it will be more appealing. But it is more an "accesorry", rather than a necessary function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
