Proclaim Reviews & Product Details

We were using a bigger name, more expensive presentation software, and it was time to renew/upgrade. Looking at the cost, I wanted to see what else was available. Proclaim worked with NDI for streaming right out of the box with no tweaking like other platforms. Integration with songs, lyrics and media was also faster and easier. Since it is cloud-based multiple members can work on presentations from different locations. This is great for teams. There is an app you can run on tablets or phones to remote control a presentation. So my operator does not need to be in the booth with me. Proclaim also has polls, trivia and tools to be interactive. The NDI option allows me to use Proclaim to send lower thirds on online graphics to a live stream easily.

I miss hotkeys for shortcuts during live presentations. Proclaim does offer an app that does help. I would like to see better integration for reporting to CCLI. Live streaming for me still works best using OBS or other streaming software. Proclaim does seem to be working on improving and adding features with regular updates.

The ability to use the software collaboratively with all contributors of our Sunday worship service, automatic podcasting of sermon audio, and importing of a wide range of media types/sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Live streaming functionality is limited and is still better through the use of something like OBS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the feature that allows me to see all the slides at the bottom of the screen regardless of which one I currently have open. I gives me an idea of the big picture and order flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only frustrating thing has been that the most recent project doesn't launch when I open the program, it opens to the last project I personally worked on even if it's lost past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proclaim works well with other desktop presentation software, which means building presentations in familiar software like Keynote or Powerpoint is possible while also adopting the larger feature set of Proclaim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not too fond of the variety of transitions built into the software or the lack of ability to edit presentations in the iOS app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that everything syncs in the cloud for multiple users to work from anywhere. The interface is very intuitive and most items, videos, etc. are drag and droppable. Can't say enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that items are limited 600mb in size to upload to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thoroughly enjoy Proclaim because it enables me to display helpful slides that correspond to my sermon points every week. It helps me reach my students and convey information to them. I also like how it easily integrates the presentations I make in Apple Keynote into our Sunday and Wednesday services. Finally, I appreciate that this program is very intuitive and easy to learn - many of our volunteer high school students are able to quickly learn the program and operate it with relative ease and expediency.

I honestly cannot think of a single thing that I disliked about Proclaim... other than the fact that, if I have a presentation that has a ton of animation, Proclaim will "split" all of the slides with animation into separate different slides. This can make for a rather large and unwieldy "final" product. Besides that one small issue, I genuinely do not have any significant disappointments with Proclaim.

Proclaim's cloud-based collaborative strategy allows several contributors to work on a presentation at the same time. Slides are easy to create and edit, and they look very professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes searching the various slide options can be less than helpful. I feel as though I'm searching and just hoping something good happens to come up. Also, there are times that I'd like to build a more complex slide (a couple of accent photos, or such), and Proclaim doesn't make that an easy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love using Proclaim to show a bible on screen while we present our weekend church services. It's been a very helpful tool after our Lead Pastor decided that he would like it to look like an actual bible when we're going through a bible verse on screen instead of just plain text. So far so good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Proclaim is a little difficult to navigate if you've never used it before. You become more accustom to it after a couple times of playing around with it, but I wish it was a little more user friendly in its organization. I also wish it had even more features churches could use for weekend presentations! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to just send a presentation from Logos straight to Proclaim. All the slide backgrounds you can think of are most likely there with pre-filled Bible verses, announcements, slides options. Since it is a subcription based software it is never outdated. Every upgrade is included. Their customer service team is always willing to help in learning new things. The Faithlife community app also provides many ideas and helps for those seeking to improve their use of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s so different than other presentation softwares that it has a longer learning curve. It’s not a stand alone, buy-it-and-keep-it software. It’s subscription based so if you don’t like having to pay for it indefinitely you may find this a turn off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user friendly it is. I love the customer support that you get and the free training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ;love everything about it but you do have to pay a pretty penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
