Worship Pastor Religious Institutions Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/11/2017 "Arena is a good but not great asset and membership management tool." 3.5/5 What do you like best about ShelbyNext Websites? I like that it is web based, has easy search functions, and can produce pretty helpful and important reports if you take the time to figure out how to do the reports and get the right settings to make them bring up the information you really wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ShelbyNext Websites? I dislike that it isn't very intuitive for what you are wanting to do most often. For anything beyond basic searches and reports it makes you dig really deep in to the program and usually consult a help book or article just to figure out how to make it work. It also just doesn't have all the features we would like that comparable products do have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ShelbyNext Websites: I would really recommend this for smaller churches that are looking for a all encompassing asset and membership management solution. For any churches that really use statistical data fairly often to drive their decisions or that would like to have better ways to integrate with sign-in's and sign-up's I would recommend looking for a different product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ShelbyNext Websites solving and how is that benefiting you? We are able to track our financials pretty well with this which helps us budget well. It also helps us to track our people and where they are plugged in so we can follow up with them when needed.

I don't like the look. Also, the way that it works with the children's check-in system. It doesn't talk well to other programs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arena is a very capable tool, allowing you to do just about anything you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ShelbyNext Websites? With so many features, the learning curve is very high. It's also not a very "pretty" or user-friendly tool to use. Could certainly use a refresh! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administrative Assistant Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/11/2016 "Great utility, Weak asthetics" 3.5/5 What do you like best about ShelbyNext Websites? Shelby Arena happens to be one of the only programs out there that allows you to keep extensive records of financial donations and giving, along with records for those giving financial contributions. The book keeping system allows you to keep a database and give specific qualifiers to individual organizations or people so you can pull multiple and specified spread sheets. Shelby also allows you to create comma delimitated files to create spread sheets, is great with imports and exports, and allows you to import checks where the system will recognize account numbers and save them to specific names. Shelby also assigns you a personal IT associate to work along side you and your business, and set up your system to accommodate your business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ShelbyNext Websites? Shelby still looks like a 90's Microsoft Office product. While the program is the most effective bookkeeping product for non-profits who need to keep precise records for donations and income allocation, it is not easy to use. While most of the common functions including pulling statements, updating records, and making deposits, are relatively simple, setting up details to pull specific reports is difficult and often requires IT help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ShelbyNext Websites: This is a great product if your work requires precise financial records, as well as extensive data bases of both donors and individuals who interact or are associated with your business. Shelby has also integrated many contemporary online giving products and is able to take in an import and recognize donors and their designated allocations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ShelbyNext Websites solving and how is that benefiting you? Shelby is pretty limitless when it comes to it's ability to create different types of reports, you just have to know how to build those reports and set the outliers. Once you know how to use the program Shelby can create a spreadsheet to include any information that you have put into the system instead of having to hand document and maintain many different spreadsheets. It is also extremely convenient that the records of individuals are linked to the giving documentation, but can also be used separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arena can track anything you need, with ultimate reporting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ShelbyNext Websites? Arena is very powerful. If you need basic tracking, it is too much. Additionally, you must be able to write SQL code in order to customize it in anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
