Professional Communication

PROS

PastorsLine is a current, ever growing and expanding software that makes communication to the masses simple and easy. I enjoy the ability to schedule messages, get people to sign up for things by texting a key phrase to a number, the adaptability/customization this software has, and that it is web and app based.

CONS

The least favorite function about this software is how at times the app can run a tad slower than I’d prefer.

Reasons for switching to PastorsLine

The app, customization/professionalism in PastorsLine, and consolidation. Kl

Vendor Response

PastorsLine

The team have been great to work with. They've offered the opportunity to pilot programs that I asked for early on (our specific CHMS being a big one). They have helped us grow our ministry and our communication with members and first-time guests. I love the automation that we've been able to create to ensure things aren't 'slipping through the cracks'.

PROS

We started with PastorsLine early on. Their team has continued to grow the platform and focus on ease of use. It integrates with all of our systems that we had previously in place (MailChimp, our CHMS, PCO, and more). This is huge for us! They also provide great support.

CONS

As with anything that's growing, you have 'bugs' that you find once the software has updated. This is not a big issue for me for a couple of reasons. 1) If you're working to continue improving and listening to your customer feedback, this is just a natural part of system upgrades. 2) The bugs are always resolved quickly.

Reason for choosing PastorsLine

Support and Pricing. We were able to try before we purchased PastorsLine. We immediately saw the benefit and everything seemed extremely tailored to us. The PastorsLine team made me feel like we were part of their team. It meant a lot!

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind words, Chris! We're love hearing such success stories and we're glad that it is helping you to communicate better with your members and first-time guests. If you need help or assistance, send us an online chat or email to help@pastorsline.com.

Powerful under the hood

Very happy with the system and will likely stick around but wish very badly that the GUI was overhauled to make it more usable for folks who don’t have a tech background.

PROS

Integration with Planning Center Online is great and is what ultimately led us to selecting this platform. The templates and analytics are very helpful as well. I have not yet felt limited by functionality. Very powerful system.

CONS

The GUI is not very intuitive and slow to respond at times. The syncing process from integrations is confusing as well. When it finally works it’s great but the road to getting it to work seems unnecessarily long and arduous.

Reason for choosing PastorsLine

PCO integration and price

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback, Blake. Yes, we are working to improve how we do things. We currently have two apps. Legacy and the complete rebuild called the HUB. The HUB is phase 1 that has many improvements how you sync groups. Over time, you would see more changes to the entire app.

Customer Service is Incredible!

They are so helpful and friendly. They've been a great fit for us and have provided an affordable option for keywords.

PROS

My favorite thing about Pastorsline is their customer service! They are so friendly, helpful, and go above and beyond to make using their software as simple as possible.

CONS

The software can be tough to navigate. It takes some training to learn the ins and outs of the software and you have to learn on the training elements quite a bit rather than it being intuitive.

Reason for choosing PastorsLine

We could pay per credit instead of as a package. Since we weren't ready to explore more options because of work load at the time, Pastorsline has been a great fit for our team.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your kind words, Annette! We are very pleased to help you out! Thanks for sticking through the learning curve. and please keep reaching out to us when you need help.:)
