## Reviews

### "Built for Ministry, Backed by Community" — 5.0/5

> **Adam** | *9 May 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The feature set, the ease of use, and the power of the system are all enhanced when you have all of your people's data and other engagements with the church blended into the same system.
> 
> **Cons**: Because of the extensibility for Rock, if you are not careful or do not follow best practices with the system, you can get in over your head. But, if you follow their guidelines, you should be good.
> 
> Our organization has had a very positive experience with Rock. At the time of this review, we've been using Rock for over six years. We continue to refine and enhance our ministry through Rock's features. We really can't imagine being on another platform. Also, the Rock Community is amazing and is possibly the best part of the product. The way churches work together to learn from each other and enhance the tools we build for our churches is amazing and very rare.

### "Rock on, RockRMS\!" — 5.0/5

> **Garrison** | *15 May 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The flexibility of Rock RMS allows us to create the processes our church needs without feeling stuck in a cookie cutter systems.
> 
> **Cons**: Rock RMS requires that you have someone who knows the ins-and-outs of databases. You don't have to know SQL, Lava, or HTML, but in order to get the most of out it, you need a working, technical background.
> 
> Our experience with Rock RMS has been fantastic\! We've had help from partners along the way, but it has saved our staff time, effort, and energy thus far and the skies the limit on how it's going to help improve our systems, processes, and decisions in the future.

### "Caring for your church" — 5.0/5

> **Leah** | *13 May 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Rock has helped us know and understand our attenders better. We love that we can communicate to them about not just any event but things that matter to them based on their involvement. Customization is incredible\!
> 
> **Cons**: Rock is continually growing and adapting. It may take a bit longer to get a new feature than it would with a massive company like Salesforce however they care about quality for your church so this outweighs the time.
> 
> Overall Rock has been a great resource for us. We love that we can care for our congregation and equip our staff to see the needs well.

### "Rock Rocks\!" — 5.0/5

> **Cindy** | *13 May 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Rock has been a game changer in our church organization. We have loved the customizable and flexibility that this CMS has provided for us. Another pro that we love is that it comes with a community of willing Rockstars to help you on your journey. To dream up or dream down what you want your org CMS to look like\!
> 
> **Cons**: Rock can have some funky bugs at times when you haven't upgraded to their latest versions. But that is on us to continue the growth.
> 
> Really is one of the best tools we've come across as an Org.

### "ROCK your Church" — 5.0/5

> **Yesu** | *14 August 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's versatility and personal touch allows for ministry to feel one-on-one.
> 
> **Cons**: Not necessarily with Rock, but more so with the changes that our instance had prior to my joining our team has made it so there is a lot of cleanup that has to be done due to changes to core and other clutter throughout our instance.
> 
> I've enjoyed the community and the platform. It is very easy jump on board and so many people are willing to go out of their way to help.
