It is very intuitive and easy to put together. A beginner can use it as well as an older member of the church to create a presentation. While running the presentation all you have to do is click forward or backward so it is very easy to use for older members of the congregation. You can also integrate song lyrics and Bible quotes easily rather than using a separate software to put everything together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When syncing from a different computer it still takes some time to show up on a different computer. If you are working on a different laptop this can be a problem sometimes. So we would have to share the file in another manner. Additionally cost can be an issue because even thought it is only 18.99 a month the artwork subscription costs extra. The basic artwork is usable but the extra subscription makes the presentation pop. It is expensive though for a smaller service.

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.
The Faithlife Proclaim multimedia presentation suite is a great tool to present the flow of service on mutilplatform devices, be Mac or Windows or online. the user experience is hands down the best that I have had using this particular type of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I truly dislike the following features of the Faithlife Proclaim software suite, 1. The ability to sync is erratic. If I have multi users editing a session, I am not certain as to what is the latest version . 2. The crashing in the Mac loses all previous edits. Faithlife should work in sessions savings so one does not have to start from scratch if a crash happens..fortunately it does not happen often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The title really says it all: we're very happy with the great functionality. It's usable across all platforms, syncs flawlessly, allows for all kinds of service configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a big program. I would prefer larger, more significant updates, rather than multiple smaller ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We like that we can provide a good presentation experience to our audience without having to invest too much money in media assets purchases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The stability of the software itself can sometimes be an issue sometimes. The presentation sometimes can lag a little bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Proclaim is easy to use and can be used from multiple locations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be clunky at times. I’ve noticed that most things can be done with proclaim but unless you’re willing to dig on forums it’s hard to discover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Proclaim's unlimited user license and cloud-based system, combined with its templates and included graphics, make Proclaim the best worship software for most small, mid-size and large churches. The support is superb and new updates are being rolled out at least once or twice a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is some lack of flexibility at times, and it lacks a module for liturgy. There also are few graphics which truly appeal to more progressive congregations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say the things I like the most about Proclaim are the ability to edit and add from anywhere and the ability to edit when live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We haven't had many issues but there have been a few glitches. This past Sunday some of the slides went missing and it wouldn't sync to the cloud to grab them. This one 1 Sunday in the past year so I still don't feel it's a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Proclaim is by far the best presentation program for churches there. It offers a user-friendly interface, really well designed elements for slides and very good integrations as the bible on the screen, which allows you to integrate a verse on the slide with just write the passage text. In addition, they offer a remote control mobile app that can be used during presentations of musical letters, it can be downloaded from the google play store for android or app store for iphone. The letters can be brought directly from Song Select (by CCLI) and not having to type them. Proclaim can also store your presentation in the cloud, so you do not have to never use more than a USB stick, this is a very useful tool in a day like today. I also love that you have the possibility to can record the service and share it with other brethrens that could not attend to church. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is a bit expensive, but still you can have a free 30 day trial, so you may decide your mind. An inconvenience with this program is that it happened already that when a guest speaker brings his own .ppt powerpoint presentation on a flash drive this presented some little problems. The process you have to go through is to import and convert the powerpoint slides to images. It was not that possible because the slides were cut off at some parts deleting scriptures and other important text when converted to images, so what you must end up doing is run powerpoint software separately.
