Fellowship one is a good experience for the data manager but for the users and lay leaders in our organization it proved to be too difficult and time consuming.

Pros

Fellowship one is completely customizable and you can run reports any way you need to. The reporting function is the best of any software I have used.

Cons

The reporting function although the best is very cumbersome to use and it takes someone skilled in data and databases to create accurate reporting.

It worked as a minimal tool, but never met expectations for what we needed as an org.

Pros

I've worked with resource management software before and this works as a way to manage data in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.

Cons

This software is intended to track information and data, but lacks any user friendly option including the ability to mass-upload your data.

We aren't solving any problems with F1. In fact, it's creating problems for those of us who have to work with the program. It was supposed to be wonderful, helping us grow our community of believers, keeping our ministers up to date with the membership, etc., etc., etc. It hasn't helped with anything. Nada. Fellowship One doesn't create fellowship, but it will, however, create stress levels that will have you searching for Xanax. Save yourself the trouble and the expense and get another program.

Pros

The only positive I can say about this software is that I can look up addresses and phone numbers with relative ease. I could do this just as easily with a pictorial directory, and with a lot less headache.

Cons

There's not enough space for me to list my complaints about F1! It is by far the hardest program I've ever had to work with, and after three plus years, I still don't know how to get a decent report. When we signed up for the program, we were told that most churches have a "dedicated" F1 person, but "anybody can learn", right?! Wrong!! Thankfully we have a retired member of the church who understands databases and we are constantly having to call him for help. No one in the office gets this program. And trying to get help from the support staff at F1 is a joke. We don't even speak the same language, although we're all speaking English. I hate calling support because it's so frustrating. Unless you have someone in your office who understands databases, then don't waste your time and money. And never ask your secretary to take on this program. She or he already has enough on their plate.

Fellowship One was supposed to be the best! It was supposed to help us move more into the digital age by connecting programs and apps, and blah, blah, blah, but that hasn't worked because we can't even get beyond the basics! This is a very expensive program, so we're putting out major bucks for very little gain.

Using the search function could be somewhat difficult (or not intuitive). This basic function needs to be rethought and optimized. As this software helps to manage and communicate with church members, it would be very nice to have the texting feature as a part of the basic F1 package.

Pros

The interface is simple but it looks ok and the information displayed after you log in is helpful since it provides a snapshot of what's going on in your congregation.

Cons

I believe the F1 announcement feature (main screen) should be eliminated. Any F1 announcements or any other communications that are not strictly related to the customer's business should take place outside of this software (i.e. by mail, text, etc.).

No one on our team likes anything about FellowshipOne.

Pros

I find it clunky and poor at best. It does accomplish the basics.

Cons

Customer service is non-responsive and poorly informed. The system has become antiquainted.

I haven't used FellowshipOne since January 2018, but at that time, the software was not only expensive compared to alternatives, but felt old and not very user friendly.

Pros

The software provided the ability to track and manage multiple data points such as membership data, contributions, Kids Check-in, and more

Cons

The user interface seemed really old in its format. The reports featured required technical support almost every time.

Reasons for choosing FellowshipOne

We switched from FellowshipOne as soon as we identified and tried a better software.

Overall - this has been a great church management software. Data is easy to enter and profile information is easy to view at a glance. There is a bit of a learning curve with reporting, but that is to be expected with any software that is new to you.

Pros

Customer service is great - you can speak to a real human being and problems are solved quickly. The custom attributes are a helpful feature and the ability to create your own shareable people lists is also a very good. Web forms are easy to create; Insights feature is a major plus.

Cons

The major drawback is that mass texting is not included in the Premier version. Also, assimilation process is lacking some functionality. iOS check has some challenges.

As someone who participated in every demo presentation and helped customize F1 to our needs, I understood and could easily use/manage F1. However, a main reason we wanted to implement this software was to get team leaders and members connected to it as well, which is where the difficulty came in. Unless you're a very frequent user, F1 is difficult to navigate and therefore did not help us accomplish our goal of having many people interacting with it.

Pros

When working with larger quantities of groups or peoples, you were able to apply a mass action which saved a lot of time. The authorization settings were customizable from person to person which was helpful for our pastors, leaders and staff.

Cons

The amount of functionalities the system had sometimes felt like too many and yet it was still difficult finding what you need. The language throughout the software isn't easily understandable unless you were in the setup demos.
