Pros:
It is very easy to get started with this software. And support is relatively easy. As admin, I could easily establish users for the system.
Cons:
Support is iffy. It depends on users to answer the questions for MANY questions. I would prefer to learn from those who set up the program.

Great All-In-One Management Software

5

We are able to handle weekly contributions that are taken up during services as well as have the ability to import our online giving through Vanco seamlessly. We can manage all of our payables and print reports on demand. Payroll setup is easy, as is the members and groups portion of the software. I like that it is online so I can manage things if I have to be out of town or away from my office computer.

Pros:
Everything is in one place so we can track our attendance, manage membership, pay bills, receive contributions including online giving, and manage employees and handle their payroll. They have made improvements to the user screens to make processes more intuitive and streamlined so less windows have to be opened up within the screen.
Cons:
I was less familiar with double entry accounting so it took a little bit of getting used to after having worked exclusively with QuickBooks prior to being employed here.

Reasons for choosing IconCMO

ICON seemed to be the most thorough, offering all the services we needed within the same online software. No software to install on the computer, and no forgetting to do memory backups.

Thank you for the kind words, Josiah! We appreciate your feedback and are so grateful to have you as a customer.

My overall experience with Icon has been very pleasant, so much so I'm still using their product! The support team has been extremely patient and kind to me as I struggled to learn their program and/or made stupid mistakes. The training is also done well and the program itself (online) hasn't experienced any issues to note.

Pros:
For the price it functions well to process contributions, A/P, and PR for our church needs.
Cons:
Some of the A/P processes are not easily amended, as I'd like (journal entries, memo info) but they have improved since I began using Icon. Nor does is the info lines allow for enough characters.

Reasons for choosing IconCMO

The main reason was price and that it accomplished what we needed. But also that another person in our church, who is also a church secretary and covers for me when I'm gone, knows Icon, so it made it an easy transition.

ICON Has Been A Blessing

5

We were users of Logos for ten years. After they were bought out their customer service really declined and then they went downhill from that. We found out they were going out of business on a text support call. The customer service team never got in touch with us. When we finally sorted things out we were faced with grossly higher costs and a costly paid data transition. We began a new evaluation process and selected ICON as it met our needs at a very good price point. We upgraded from an old, thick client system that was cumbersome to a fantastic web based set of tools. The data transition was simple and we had a great experience getting started with ICON. We love the functionality and reporting.

Pros:
The software is built with intuitive and simple to use graphical user interfaces (GUI). The layout of the GUI are well thought out and make the user experience pleasant and simple. The ability to move seamlessly between them heightens the experience. Whether it is managing families, people, giving or accounting functions, ICON has been a great upgrade for us from our prior software.
Cons:
There are a few layout issues where the experience could be improved. The good news is that when we mention them the ICON Team listens and we have already seen improvements in the short time we have aubscribed.

Reasons for choosing IconCMO

We liked the functionality and direct interface to accounting. We did not want a package that had to also have Quick Books. We preferred a more seamless approach. He other options with accounting offered no better functionality at a higher price. The responsiveness of the other software teams also left something to be desired. All in all, we got the functionality we needed at a fair price with a helpful team. What more could we ask for?

Thank you for the kind words, Steve! We appreciate your feedback and are so grateful to have you on board with IconCMO.

Pros:
What I like most is the customer service. The team is very helpful when you call and they pick up the phone (no answer machine). They were helpful with the set up and anytime I call. I have liked all the reports I have, they seem very easy for members to read.
Cons:
One item we could use in the software is the grade in school is not listed. Emailing the guests is not the best, emails going out work well, just can't reply or do a reply all on the group.

Reasons for choosing IconCMO

Cost was great and it took care of all our needs. Data and finance. They were church based and easy to work with.

The software can be a little intimidating to learn, and I'm still discovering new features after 2 years, but the customer service is excellent - I really couldn't ask for anything more of them. And there are many options for troubleshooting, from articles and videos to talking to a real live person to scheduling a Zoom training session.

Cons:
The emails sent through the Icon system generate a sender name that is sometimes flagged as spam, which causes confusion for members who are technology challenged.

Vendor Response

Hi Holly, Thank you so much for the kind words! We have implemented a feature recently that allows you to set up a custom domain, so that your emails show that they are coming from you, and not the generic 'iconmail' sender! If you would like more information about the custom domain, please reach out to our support team (support@iconcmo.com)!

Pros:
I have been working with this software since 1999, back when it was Revelations and through the migration to Icon CMO. I serve in a synod (district) office of our church, so our contributions are a bit different from those of a congregation, but IconCMO serves us well. I've also used the congregation version and it's equally as functional. What I love most is the support! Quick answers to questions both online and by phone (I love that I've talked to my executive for almost all of these years!) and the team is responsive to suggestions of improvements to the software that would allow me to do my job better.
Cons:
Some forms and reports are set up more from a congregational perspective than for a synod, but that's a minor inconvenience.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the awesome review, Terri! We appreciate your feedback and are grateful for the opportunity to work with you for so many years.
