"A good church management system"

3.5/5

What do you like best about ParishSOFT?

I do like how ParishSoft allows for so much information on the family and individual members of that family to be implemented. The competitors do not typically include that many details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParishSOFT?

I dislike how outdated ParishSoft looks. It is an older system without many updates, it is very primitive in what functions can be used. The entire look of ParishSoft needs to be modified to be modern and more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best way to keep track of your parishioners"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ParishSOFT?

The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate. The search function allows for partial names, so you don't need to know everything. Having a single database for all of your parishioners means that when someone makes an update on a piece of data, it is available to everyone immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParishSOFT?

Sometimes, the query tool doesn't bring back any values even though I know the query is set up right. They have two sides of the product, a diocesan view and a parish view. The diocesan view doesn't work very well, so we have to still use the old version of their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ParishSOFT:

Whether you are a large church or a small one, ParishSoft will work for you. If you are considering migrating to ParishSoft's Connect Now product, I recommend that you do some clean up of your current data before migrating. It will make the end results a lot better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ParishSOFT solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ParishSoft to manage all of the parishioners that are in our diocese. We use it to manage, from a diocesan view, the Bishop's Annual Appeal and any parish's capital funds they request us to manage. The parishes use ParishSoft to register their parishioners, record any contributions or any ministry work that they may do. The biggest benefit is that using a single database for all of our parishioners shows that anytime any information on a person is updated, everyone gets to see it right away, so we have cleaner data from which to pull mailing lists, etc..

"ParishSOFT is decent for church software management if you don't use other tools"

2.5/5

What do you like best about ParishSOFT?

You can handle lots of church management functions like a member directory, giving, attendance, and other information all in one place with this software. We used at at my Episcopal church where I served on the communications committee for several years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParishSOFT?

When we created a WordPress website, it didn't really integrate well with the software. We replaced a lot of the functions we had done with ParishSOFT with WordPress plugins. If ParishSOFT creates plugins and integrations for WordPress it would really enhance the offerings. Sometimes the software is buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ParishSOFT:

If you want a cloud based solution for managing all your parish data, this may meet your needs. The support is prompt and friendly. Sometimes the software is slow to load and I wish it integrated better with WordPress, but that might not be an issue for many church administrators, especially at small or medium sized parishes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ParishSOFT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Really good if you want a one stop place for all your church data and information. It's strengths are in the accounting areas and tracking of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Parish Management Product"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ParishSOFT?

ParishSoft enables parishes to keep track of its parishioners and allows administration to update notes and important information in its records. It also allows us to send out thank you letters, holiday letters, and parish wide updates easily. It has also helped us in our capital campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParishSOFT?

It requires a good amount of training to make sure that you are using it properly. This is important so you can use it to its fullest capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ParishSOFT:

ParishSOFT is an excellent tool to make sure your church is well organized and you're able to keep good records of parishioners and donations. It is easy to use and can help with much more such as organizing large mailings for holidays, tax letters, thank you letters, etc. The support staff is extremely helpful when you need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ParishSOFT solving and how is that benefiting you?

With 8,000 registered parishioners our church needed a way to track our parishioners to keep accurate records and updated information. It has allowed our church to track bio information on families, accurate mailing addresses, giving history, and mailing preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
