I like how you can create a diagram and have it always saved in there for you to use and can use for multiple spaces, too. Also, the Planning Center customer service is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar? I wish there was an easy way to duplicate an event. I do often have events that are not able to be categorized in the current structure of recurring events but would love to be able to just make a copy of the original event and edit it for the subsequent occurrences. Also, I’d like to add in events for the year, but they’re all on different days (not always the first Sunday of every month). Wish there was a way to click on the dates that I need on the calendar instead of having to manually do each day, which takes a lot of time! Basically, I want to know if there is an option to choose all my dates at once for the whole year since events will always be in the same room and at the same time? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you? The customer service is great and have utilized it a lot. They get back to you right away! The problems I'm solving are mostly because I'm asking lots of questions and they're getting answered right away! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Programming Director Religious Institutions Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/30/2018 "Resources is a lifesaver and keeps our facility running smoothly." 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar? I really like the interface of resources. It's clean and modern. It's also well organized. There are a lot of "pieces" to it, but once you get used to it, it is awesome! I also like that we can enter all of our resources including tech equipment, decorating supplies, computer equipment and even vehicles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar? There are moments when I try to use the mini calendar on the left panel and it doesn't work. It appears to be a software glitch. Once I refresh the page or re-open it, it works for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar: Don't be overwhelmed but it, get used to it and then see if it meets your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you? Prior to Resources, we used an antiquated room reservation program. Resources has much more functionality. Running a 30-room facility with 100 staff trying to reserve space 7 days a week can be a nightmare, but Resources keeps us straight. It also allows our room "owners" to virtually approve room requests instead of talking face to face with people or trying to approve via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ministry Assistant Religious Institutions Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/22/2018 "Planning Center for our business properties" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar? Ease of being able to log in to see what resources are available and which ones have been reserved. I can log in, go to the date that I am interested in and see which resources (rooms, media, fleet vehicles, etc) are already reserved for that date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar? Sometimes it seems like the process for making a reservation is repetitive. You have to enter the same information on multiple screens. I'm not sure if this is a process set up by our office administrators, or if this is a planning center requirement. It isn't a huge deal , but it does seem repetitive to have to enter the request name and date multiple times. Again, I'm not involved with the "back-end" so there may be legitimate reasons behind it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar: I would definitely recommend checking our planning center resources if you are in need of organizing and structuring the usage of your groups resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you? It definitely streamlined the process of making reservations for resources for our organization. Much fewer steps to take and hoops to jump through. All involved parties receive confirmation emails once a request is made, and it makes it easy to accept/approve/confirm use for resources. We used to have to present paper requests to many different individuals for different areas of our organization. With this program, all the resources are listed and we just submit our request through planning center, and whichever resource we select, the request automatically goes to that supervisor.

Planning Center's entire interface is incredibly user friendly and so easy to use for multiple things at a time. A perfect way to keep you and your team organized. Plus, bonus if you are a part of a church or ministry organization, because of the ability to register different members and groups and schedule times for different purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar?

Worship Leader & Assistant Religious Institutions Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/14/2017 "Planning Center Resources is a win" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Calendar? I like that we are able to manage our facility and other physical resources with ease and clarity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Calendar? I do not have anything that I seriously dislike. So, if I had to say anything, I would say that editing existing requests is not the easiest process to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Calendar: It is worth giving it a try. The set up requires some time and attention to detail, but once that is done, and you're able to utilize it for various events, you will find that the required effort it is well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Calendar solving and how is that benefiting you? We were regularly overbooking our various venues and rooms inside our campuses for ministries. We also had a very hard time keeping track of items used by various ministries within our church. Having Planning Center Resources has kept us from double booking and also keep track of all of our resources. On the rare occasion that something goes missing we are able to trace it back via Resources to see who it was that borrowed it last. It is very handy for keeping track of everything when you are a large, multi-faceted organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
