ChMeetings - A Genuine Blessing to the Small Church

Kommentare: The benefits to me have been the ability to stay connected with our church congregation during the day pandemic.

Vorteile:

I love that ChMeetings offers so much functionality for free. I cannot say enough about how difficult it has been to find an affordable and practical church management solution. Many others have pricing geared toward bigger churches, but there has been very available to the small church with little (or no) budget. To be able to have this available for free has been a true blessing!

Nachteile:

I really can't complain at all. I'm very happy with it.

Great for church use

Kommentare: Great service, great product, great price.

Vorteile:

The ease of use to enter information. Adding membership dates, so we are mot keeping a separate log

Nachteile:

The updates, although I know they are needed.

Needs to be more User Friendly

Kommentare: It's mostly positive. The things it is lacking are not exactly negatives.

Vorteile:

The low cost for being able to do what we need it to do. It's a little clumsy and takes extra time to figure things out, but since we can't really afford a more expensive app, it's working for now.

Nachteile:

It took time for me to figure out how to navigate the app and often I have to demonstrate to church members how to use it because it's not very intuitive. I would like a message board or chat feature. It would also be nice if members/users could choose upcoming events they would like to be reminded about with a notification or email. I wish there were more inexpensive label printer options compatible with the app. I wish there was a list view that showed both the date and volunteers' names for planning. Being able to print that list/calendar would also be very helpful.

PFCC Assistant

Kommentare: excellent experience. Easy to navigate and to search what needed

Vorteile:

The dashboard easy to navigate and also the export of data

Nachteile:

The notification note field for follow up and and the note field after the follow up should be separated

Dunaway's Chapel UMC

Kommentare: Awesome, we feel comfortable, and would recommend.

Vorteile:

Ease of use, and setup. The cost is great for all of the uses that come along with it.

Nachteile:

The ablity to attach documents to an event would be nice such as PDF/s

ChMeeting Review

Kommentare: Overall, this is a very good software with mobile application support that helps us in managing our church requirements.

Vorteile:

This software helps us to easily record members' profile, groupings between regulars and not regulars, online forms, and most of all, tracking of weekly Worship attendance via mobile application

Nachteile:

Options for flexibility in reporting. There are reports that I am not able to find.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: ChurchTrac

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Chmeetings: Cheaper. Offers free trial with many features enabled.

Grateful!!

Kommentare: I taught my trustee the program in a day. We are still learning; however, the struggle is so much smaller knowing that we can see the information at any given time from anywhere.

Vorteile:

The possibilities are endless and affordable. We are a small church; however, booking is essential for any size church. Chmeetings allows us to tap into a system that allows growth and expansion.

Nachteile:

Once the date is selected while keying; at times, it will revert to the present date instead of remaining on the date initially keyed.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: ChurchTrac und ShelbyNext Financials

Warum Chmeetings gewählt wurde: The cost and lack of communication with the team. There was always a push to buy more instead of perfecting what we had or needed.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Servant Keeper

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Chmeetings: The format, cost and growth potential. We are a small church; however, it is our goal to implement several other features offered by Chmeetings.

Can I Get A Refill

Kommentare: My overall experience has been such a great experience of my learning the system and how easy it is to have one software that do a lot more then some others at a fare price.

Vorteile:

navigating through the system and how easy it was to add things our church needed and how the company was willing to help move over from the previous system we had and their customer service system.

Nachteile:

As of this date I only can say that I wished that the app was included in the price and not a addon as well as texting.

Great Resource for Churches

Vorteile:

The ease of transitioning from another cloud-based service. The customer service response time is very quick and easy to understand. Customization is easy to learn and use.

Nachteile:

I wish I could set the date and title of a Batch when I am inputting a new contribution, but this is a very minor inconvenience.

HRC CHMeetings

Kommentare: Overall the customer service and support for the team has been amazing. Any problems has been resolved in a timely manner by the team and communication via email has been amazing.

Vorteile:

The notification feature through the app allows our pastor to send notifications to our whole congregation with only a few clicks.

Nachteile:

CHMeetings can sometimes be complicate for older members of our congregation and can be considered not user friendly sometimes.

Chmeetings for Churches is great!

Vorteile:

The program is easy to use and has a great mobile app builder.

Nachteile:

The account function is still new so it taking a bit to figure out but so far I dont see any negatives about it.

Going from Good to Exceptional

Kommentare: This software is uncomplicated and easy to use. We particularly like the Follow-Up feature. ChMeetings has most of the essential features we need and none of the features we don't need. Their customer support team is wonderful. They have worked very hard to add features that are important for managing our membership of almost 3,000 households across two community organizations. Many of our households have minimal computer skills, so having a viewer-friendly interface is very important. Unlike some organizations, it is important for us to show that the focus is on caring for people. We don't sell products or try to raise significant amounts of money.

Vorteile:

Customer Support! ChMeetings has a very responsive support and development team. The features that they didn't have were due to be released within 3 months and were actually introduced one month ahead of schedule. And at the same time, when I emailed them about an idea that would make our management of 3,000 households easier and they made the more that one of the changes in less than 24 hours. As for features they are currently working on, they keep me updated on their progress. I feel like they are my personal software development company.

Nachteile:

Since one of our organizations is less than a month old, I am still working out the operational structure of the organization in general. That said, tutorial videos for ChMeetings might have provided some of the instructions that would have made my understanding of the software easier. ChMeetings is currently creating tutorial videos which should be available this summer.

Best in class

Kommentare: It's been fantastic. Our church is growing with over 800 people and a tool such as this has come at the right time. An app that manages the church groups, people, donations and a user platform for news, membership and information.

Vorteile:

Ease of customisation and integration. Caters for church management and for end users. Agile development with features and quick release cycles. Amazing team supporting the application.

Nachteile:

Early bugs were fixed with updates and patches. Amazing app, with a great development and support team to fix any issues that may arise.

CH Meetings works for a small church

Vorteile:

It was simple to implement. It gave us the solution we needed by helping organize the information about our parishioners and giving us a mechanism to readily communicate to them. The support is extremely responsive. Any problem I had with use, or question I had on how to use it, was answered within hours, or at most a day.

Nachteile:

The lack of documentation is a little disconcerting. But, the ease of use and responsiveness of support makes it not really a problem.

Chmeetings Review

Kommentare: Very good, very happy. They are very response to requests, and easily assist.

Vorteile:

Affordability, simplicity and technical assistance. Easy to use and implement.

Nachteile:

None, they develop on the go which is nice.

Great Tool for Church Management

Kommentare: I love it! The simplicity is amazing. Also, the ability to set up and test while in trial mode made this program a winner for us!

Vorteile:

Ease of implementation, capturing and reporting offerings, ability to capture online donations, and ability of members to manage and update their own personal information.

Nachteile:

Lack of instructions for customizing giving statements. As a former web programmer, I was able to figure it out through trial and error.

What a great resource!

Vorteile:

ChMeetings offers big capabilities at the fraction of the price of other softwares. It's easy to use, and efficient. It's so easy to manage members,attendance, and Sign ups

Nachteile:

The only cons are that ALL features are not available mobily. I use an Ipad more than a desktop

Perfect for a growing church like ours

Kommentare: Just excellent!!

Vorteile:

Easy to use, lots of great features, wonderful customer support and a great price. We are able to save a lot of time with the features it offers!

Nachteile:

Can think of anything. We had one feature we wanted added for making a printed directory and when we asked customer support, they added it within a week or so. Thanks!

Best youth management program I have used yet.

Kommentare: As long as it's available I will keep using it, which should say something about how useful I find it.

Vorteile:

For me the best part of Chmeetings is the ease of use. I have tried several youth ministry management programs and they are seem a little convoluted for the average medium sized church. This program does everything I want it to do and I don't have to fight with it to get it done.

Nachteile:

To date I don't know that I have found any function that I use that I would say was bad or difficult to use.

Best church management application out there

Kommentare: Excellent - cannot recommend highly enough

Vorteile:

The UI is extremely functional and the product has a fantastic array of features included in the one price. This is a big benefit for a church plant. The included app makes the production of a church directory very simple and able to suit those with a tech bent and those who prefer a hard copy.The development and customer support teams are extremely responsive to requests, both support and change

Nachteile:

Nothing - best product out of those I have tried.

I was searching for this for years

Kommentare: It has been super easy to implement, and the development team has been quick to respond and even incorporate extra features that I asked for!

Vorteile:

It has so many features at a really good price.

Nachteile:

The rostering ('volunteers') feature originally lacked some good features, but now they are being improved too!

ChMeeting Church Management System

Kommentare: Friendly staff. Our suggestions are considered and at time implemented in the product. Overall cost is inexpensive and easy to use. Cannot wait for future enhancements and features.

Vorteile:

Product is user friendly, and was easy to set up. Knowledge base is very informative. The staff is friendly, pleasant and professional. We mainly communicate with Mary and George, and they are awesome to work with.

Nachteile:

Nothing so far that we have experienced.

My own reviews

Kommentare: Awesome app

Vorteile:

I like Everything in the app and the functionality

Nachteile:

I like Everything and also the birthdays and anniversary’s

Fantastic Product / Top Notch Customer Support

Kommentare: Overall, if you are a small, medium or large church, ChMeetings is the church management tool you've been looking for!

Vorteile:

I like the flexibility of this software. The developers are VERY responsive and they appear to be obsessed (smile) with adding new feature. Their customer service is very patient and kind. They are always available to answer questions and their random check-ins is the icing to their support offerings.

Nachteile:

The ability to add users (in bulk) was a feature I liked least but they turned around added that functionality when I needed it most. At this time, I would love the ability for my members to run our forms within the app. I understand this feature is upcoming. I am also looking forward to the ability where the "convenience fee" for donations is automatically calculated and is passed on to the donator. I understand this feature is also upcoming.
