As a user becomes more experienced with the program, they discover the powerful searches that can be built to retrieve and analyze information. Support from Suran Systems is very good.

And helps you keep track of your church income.

What's not to like, covers every aspect you can possibly expect, the support end is the greatest ever.

CDM+, though difficult to use and to learn was still an invaluable program to our congregation.

The price for the software is very good when comparing it to similar donation tracking software. CDM+ support is an extra cost, but well worth it.

CDM+ is a great software program with awesome customer support. I love it and highly recommend it.

We are a Canadian church and have been using CDM for the last 15 years. I think the best thing about CDM is the price, the functionality of its data base and their customer support.

The CDM+ software is very user friendly and the customer service is excellent.

I had no experience with CDM+ before taking the office manager position at the church I work at. I had little training and no accounting experience.

I love how helpful the support team members are, as well as the many training opportunities available.

We have loved when our pastors or other staff members ask if a certain report or list can be pulled and we are able to do it easily with CDM.

I LOVE the customer support and I will continue to use CDM. Constantly making improvements that make my job easier.

Reports took me longer to get ahold of. Some still seem more difficult to maneuver but I am learning more each time.

The reporting capability is excellent for tracking donation statistics, and they have configured the program so that Canadian donation receipts are easily issued.

The customer service is excellent and the response time is very good. There is a host of reports to choose from that can be customized to your particular needs.

It is mostly due to people not taking the time to explore the software and being fearful of change.

Pretty much a one-stop shop for this sort of software which is nice, and rare. For a solid mobile app as well.

It is very easy to use and the report options are endless.

Support is knowledgeable and wonderful. CDM+ is user friendly and capable to holding a lot of information we need to have for our church.

Notices- Hard to set up and import letters and pieces of data.

CDM is a little more difficult to understand and set up, however it is outstanding in what it is capable of doing.

I have found CDM+ to be fairly easy to learn and navigate through.

We have used CDM+ for about 10 years now and I am quite pleased with the program.

This was very intuitive and easy to navigate. Whenever I did have issues, I was able to get help quickly and easily.

Sometimes, we have difficulty upgrading. Not sure if the problem is with CDM/Suran, or our computer system.

If there was something missing it was usually user error.

It's a little awkward to block out multiple days in the calendar that aren't consecutive.

It is the best software out there for planning a service. I absolutely recommend to anyone with the budget to afford it.

Overall, we are very pleased. However, they could be more responsive to our concerns about customization.

Great solution for coordinating members to serve, great way for our musicians to communicate and prepare for leading music on Sundays, and an app for giving that our members feel comfortable using.

We have been blown away with all the functions available even on the free plan. It's so well-made, very easy to use and the customer service is very responsive and friendly.

Planning center is such great tool to inform and prepare volunteers in advance so that they can perform to the best of their ability.

My main complaint about the product is that it is difficult to create teams Volunteers and the service planning tool is awkward when applied to children’s ministries.

As a user i several times had problems with logging in, as system did not recognize i was registered by admin  twice, with the same email. So it is running 2 profiles with the very same attributes.

Customer Service is incredible. Fun, loving people want to help your church minister to and reach more people.

I love the ease of use and beauty of this product. It makes my life very simple.

Tech support has been very helpful and overall, very pleased with this product.

I often struggle to find what I'm looking for. It's difficult to navigate and can be frustrating at times.

I love that Planning Center has the ability to keep large groups of people/staffs on task and well aware of what is going on. I also love all the customizations you can add to it.

Overall, I think Planning Center is a good product...when you figure something out and it does what you want it to do, it's amazing.

I love how easy it is to use and share with others. It's ease of use is so simple that it takes little to no time to train others how to use it.

Planning Center is super easy to use, very first time user friendly and easy to train new people on.

Overall, for the price, this software is a fantastic solution for small to mid-size churches.

I enjoy that I have the ability to play audio files in the background. This is a huge advantage when driving, which I do a great deal of.

Overall, it is working great for us. There are a few things that are tricky, but it was easy to learn and the functions they do have work great.

I love how easy it is to use and set up your worship service. I also like how my team members can see anything I would like them to see.

The only thing i can think of is there is no undo option. When someone accidentally makes a change, I haven’t found a way to recover it.

It is affordable, easy to use, and they have excellent customer service.

It's just getting to that point which is the pain for the majority of the time.

Planning Center is price friendly and versitile, has an excellent mobile app, and integrates well into many other software titles.

Using the Forms allows me to seamlessly pull off a big event with great communication and acquiring the needed information from volunteers.

The staff is great about training those who need it, the interface is pleasing to the eye and it's easy to learn within minutes.

Great - they seem to be investing in more development...we need to be able to connect people more - and groups more and with ease and text one another and such.

PCO will integrate with literally hundreds if not thousands of other faith-based platforms making it super easy to connect it all together.

I love the ability to keep everyone organized into one program. Planning Center is great for organizing your teams and scheduling people to serve in different ministries.

It is annoying, but that is the only flaw I have found with the application.

Around Services and Check ins, Planning Center has been exceptional with customer service and helping us sort through issues. Their tutorial videos are also great.

Overall it has been able to help keep up with everyone and keep organized,  also the integration with other apps is very helpful.

It integrates well with other software we use (e.g. ProPresenter) and has an excellent free iOS app.
