I have had support tickets in for weeks with no response. Trying to do tax statements but their software is not pulling over all the donations, so I am having to had type them. > > The first few years with them was great but lately their quality is poor. We are looking for a new company now. ----- ### "Don't sign that Contract\!" — 2.0/5 > **Valerie** | *21 October 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked what I saw on the demo. It was cloud based and had great search features. > > **Cons**: We signed a contract for data conversion and use of the software the first of June 2024. It is now October 2024 and I am still waiting on data conversion. The project manager assigned to me does not return my phone calls or emails for weeks at a time. I have to repeatedly email her asking if we are ready to move on the the next step. for weeks\! My last request was met with a "I'm on going on vacation, but you'll get my full attention once I get back." My requests for contract cancellation and refund have likewise are not being addressed. > > Frustrating and pointless. No one answers phone calls or emails. ----- ### "Not an efficient program" — 3.0/5 > **Julie** | *25 September 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this program for the past 6 the first 3 seemed very good. It has most of the components for a parish. > > **Cons**: Customer support is poor. You wait on the phone at least 15 minutes get someone not knowledgeable of the program. It doesn't have necessary features that were there six years ago. they have an assistant chat that sends you to read material > > Lately very poor experience. Features that were in the program are no longer there. E.g get attendance for a single student in a class. Other feature missing is to attach a class to two sessions. It used to be there but now is gone. You now have to enter manually students rather than being able to transfer the whole class. I was told this by one of their agents. I am the directress of Religious Education for a parish. I'm waiting to find another product. ----- ### "ParishSOFT maintains an integrated database, so that everyone with access can view updated records" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app is so easy and simple to use and can generate timely reports wherever required form whatever location, but only with access > > **Cons**: The application looks so dull and therefore outdated because it has not invested much in the use of graphics > > It made Parish management a little simpler but much still needs to be done ----- ### "ParishSOFT Family Suite is the best Software for Parishes" — 5.0/5 > **Seaneen** | *1 September 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of using this software is one of the best features. It makes posting contributions fast and accurate. For us, posting Contributions before ParishSOFT took at the minimum a day but usually a day and a half. With ParishSOFT it take an hour. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I think is needed is the ability to add a new family from the detailed contributions posting page. It would be faster if we didn’t have to close out of Contributions and go into Family Directory and then back into Contributions to post. > > Our experience with ParishSOFT Family Suite has been extremely positive. ParishSOFT understands the true meaning of customer service. They are easy to work with. When you call, the service rep is very knowledgeable with the product and they are easy to hear and understand what they are saying. We love this program and will never switch back. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/12500/parishsoft-church-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/12500/parishsoft-church-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
