" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 13, 2025 The first few years with them was great but lately their quality is poor. We are looking for a new company now. Pros When their software works, it is good, but lately it has not been working correctly. Cons Customer service is nonexistent. 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.

No one answers phone calls or emails. 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.

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. 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 Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

They also do not communicate well between departments. I am currently looking to switch to another system as soon as our contract is up. I would never recommend ParishSoft Systems!! Pros Very friendly staff to deal with when help is needed, which is often. Unfortunately they have a VERY high rate of turnover and you have to keep all emails and notes regarding your account and any issues you may have. Cons They have made numerous "upgrades" and they constantly glitch! They system is not consistent and frequently crashes. You only have so much time to work and the system logs you out. Reasons for choosing ParishSOFT Better product and many other churches use OSV. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
