Pros
Our organization needed a simple program to record and report weekly church offerings. A big "pro" is that Donarius is exactly what we were looking for- easy to use, easy to customize to fit our exact needs and the price is right. Simply stated, "it works." The program is very stable and there are never any lockups or loss of data, as we experienced with other similar but more expensive programs. The biggest "pro," however, is the superb technical support. Every issue is addressed and every question gets answered until you, the customer, are satisfied. The program has been updated free-of-charge several times, each time to correct minor issues that users found.
Cons
I can't think of anything to put here.
Overall
Donarius is a simple to use, well-thought-out and masterfully designed piece of software. It was designed for regular people. You don't have to be a programmer to understand it and get it to do everything you need. Everyone in our organization loves it because it could be customized to fit our exact needs. It is such an improvement over the "big name" Church Management software that used to clutter up our offering computer and send us home every week with a headache. It's free to try- so try it. You'll know soon enough if Donarius is what you are looking for.

Pros
Donarius is very easy to use. It tracks the important information to me as the pastor of the church. It is a very simple product. Not overloaded with a lot of features that I will never use.
Cons
Does not include accounting features. However this is not at all important to me, since we use QuickBooks for our accounting.
Overall
I highly recommend this product.

Pros
We think Donarious has provided a customized software for churches to use at a reasonable price. They don't shy away from adding customer request upgrades with a qiuck turn around.
This program certainly beats enter by hand, listing cheques & balancing cash.
Cons
Some times things happen that we have no explanation for. Contact with Nu-verb solves this problem promptly
Overall
Easy to train "counters" on this program

Pros
Very easy to use, reports are useful. Tax receipts feature works very well.
Cons
Would like some more reporting options. Would be nice to show both a cash donation and a cheque donation from the same donor on the same date.
Overall
overall a very good product, much better than previous software used which was created in US and was noncompliant with Canadian tax receipt requirements

Although the HELP feature is quite good, it could be better. -- better "search" findings.
The "Statistical reports" could offer more parameters.

Time has proven that we made the correct choice of Donarius. It is doing everything that we require and is easy to maintain both the database and the program itself.

Pros
Customer support is essential, especially to the non-tech user. The developers of this product could not be more responsive in terms of timely and easy to follow responses to requests for assistance.
Cons
Nothing in our experience with this product would qualify under this heading.
Overall
A genuine 5-Star product

Pros
This is the most advanced donation tracking software available for the price.
Cons
Mail Merge Letter writing function is not very user friendly, but tech support is more than available to help work through the kinks.
Overall
This program is a must have for organizations that must track donations but can not afford high dollar programs.
