### "ParishSoft Feedback"

August 20, 2020

5.0

The Tech support is excellent!!! They are there to help me with every aspect of the software. It makes my job much easier to know they are a phone call away.

Pros

We have 2200 families. They can go on to the software and update their own information. There are many standard reports that make it easy to get what you need.

Cons

The transfer over from our old software to Parish Soft. Making sure the information was carried over correctly. It would be nice to have more choices when it comes to Certificate styles.

Reason for choosing ParishSOFT Accounting

As a Catholic Church, they filled our needs better than other software companies. We have sacraments, and need certificates and a place to post these items. ParishSoft is the best software for a Catholic Church.

Switched from

We weren't getting the support we needed from PDS

### "From a user standpoint."

August 25, 2020

4.0

I like using ParishSoft Accounting. The reports are very user friendly and allow me to give our Finance Council a complete picture of our financial standing.

Pros

ParishSoft Accounting is very user friendly. Technical Support is extremely helpful when there is a problem or question.

Cons

Access rights. When I set a person up to be able to log into ParishSoft Accounting, the log in seems to be confusing to them. They don't realize they are logged in so then try again.

Switched from

[MDsuite EHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/145150/MDsuite-EHR/)

Our Diocese switched therefore all of the parishes under our Diocese were required to switch.

4.0

Good

Pros

Ease of use, fairly easy to fix mistakes

Cons

Training videos could be helpful. I have not had any training I just figured it out myself. And that wasn't too difficult so overall a good software. I think there are things I could do on here that I don't know.

### "ParishSOFT Accounting"

August 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

Being the Business Administrator at the church, I use the reporting features on a daily basis. Especially during the Covid-19 virus, with donations being lower, I am constantly monitoring our Budget versus Actual reports to gain better insight into spending trends and where we need to cut expenses.

Cons

I find it difficult to locate customer-specific information on contact data, invoices and customer spending. It's not intuitive to locate customer data.

### "Medium Size Church"

August 24, 2020

5.0

We use the software for budgeting and accounting, and it more than meets our needs. Note - we are not power users. Our few calls to customer support have been handled promptly and professionally.

Pros

Easy to set up, totally online, and multi-user. Provides complete monthly financial statements - Position Statement, Activites Statement, and Dedicated Accounts. Other modules available such as contributions and schedule.

Cons

Limited canned analytic and graphical reports, and no custom reports. Soon it believe it is possible to export complete user data base or import from another accounting system

Reason for choosing ParishSOFT Accounting

Did exactly what we needed for a very reasonably price.

### "ParishSoft Accounting"

5.0

The product is used for tracking two church checking accounts with the church secretary managing one and I the other. The secretary has limited IT experience but has no problems using the system. During the first few months using the product support was contacted a few times and the response was excellent.

Pros

The product is easy to use. I especially like that is cloud based allowing me to access from anywhere versus needing to be physically present at the church computer. The reporting is very flexible allowing many different criteria for selecting data for reports. The journal entries while not needed very often are easy to implement. The monthly cost is low for our small church.

Cons

I had difficulty understanding how to set up accounts even after training to be similar to the previous system we had used. After using the product for a while I now understand them better.
