Church Windows - easy to use

It's still much better than my previous experience with ACS. Much more user-friendly. Support has gotten slow but always resolves issues.

PROS

Easier to use, once you understand the program. Lots of options for customizable reports. All our church info in one place.

CONS

The customer service has gotten slower to respond over the years. You can pay extra for premium support, which I don't appreciate. Been a customer for 15 years, paid a lot of annual fees for support.

Reasons for switching to Church Windows

ACS was much less user-friendly, at least 15 years ago

Updates not the greatest

Customer Service has always been wonderful with quick response times. The problems I have recently had I just have not had the time to discuss with them as of yet. I am sure they would have something that might fix the data loss problem I am experiencing, but I am frustrated that I don't have the time to deal with this right now.

PROS

Everything links together Easy to enter information Customer Service is very good

CONS

The membership update takes 5 times longer to get the information I need while it "gathers" the information. The newest membership update created a problem with several families having one person whose information is lost and it is not allowing the information to be re-entered. It keeps coming up with an error message and I have no idea how many of the families this affected. It also will not allow me to delete the person affected to start them over from scratch. Reports are not easily gotten with some of the updates and often come up with errors and will not print - doesn't like the query requested. Cannot edit reports to only have certain columns for ALL report options. Many reports have to print microscopically to fit on one page horizontally - doesn't work well if printed on two or more pages for legibility. Many of these reports I do not need all of the columns, but have no option to omit the unnecessary columns. Cannot pull up a browse with multiple accounts at the same time for report purposes.
