Cataloging and keeping in touch with parishioners has been awesome and easy. Keeping track of financials and contributions was made wasy also.

The only thing I dislike about this software is not being able to rewrite or reorganize some of the reports.

Quick recognition of financial situations. We have had great customer support.

It's very intuitive with a good layout, good screen prompts and useful online help. The reports I use (contribution statements, various other reports on contributions) are clear and flexible.

IconCMO is very thorough in its application but the best thing is their customer service. I have been a customer for about 6 years and over the years have reached out numerous times for help.

I've had trouble finding the search function to look up a journal entry, and I have trouble searching anonymous cash gifts.

It's simply the best program and I have recommended it to all our area secretaries. Keep up the good work, IconCMO.

Web-based software that is secure, online backups, easy to use, parishioner module for easy access to directory, great customer support.

I like that I can add significant dates like baptism & confession of faith. I like that I can access it from my phone.

If I have a problem, the support is amazing and fast. Overall, the software is so easy to use and understand that I can catch on pretty easily.

We love multiple people having access from multiple places at the same time. It's integrated - we can move in and out of finance, membership, contributions easily and everything is available.

The data transition was simple and we had a great experience getting started with ICON. We love the functionality and reporting.

We appreciate the ease of keeping track of our parishioners and all the information we need for each individual.

I also like the notifications on updates that IconCMO makes with the step by step directions.

I like the versatility of the software. The customer service team is wonderful when I have questions.

From the onset of using this software, I found it easy to navigate and easy to get answers to any questions I have had.

Once in a process I find it difficult to close out if in trouble or to find where I was when I try to styart over.

I enjoy moving around the software and see how we can use it to save time and make better decisions.

I have also had a problem with the export of lists, sometimes names are missing and other times there is a lot of unnecessary information included.

Two features stand out in their ease of use and helpfulness in tracking and identifying Parishioners. First, the search feature, and second, the reporting feature.

I have found that it frustrates our users as well.

I still struggle to find where things are located every now and again even with 2 years experience.

I have loved using Realm, it's easy to use, the report feature is crucial and it is reasonably priced.

Realm is a great database resource to house all of the information for our members to easily access.

It can move very slowly at times which can be very frustrating.

Very positive and the best tech support I have every worked with. If they don't know an answer, they find it and get back to you quickly.

Love the interaction of the software with other companies, like background checks.

I highly recommend the investment of time and finances to get the full benefit of the software by getting the training needed. I wish we had done so when we got it.

Realm has been a fluid tool to use and it's abilities, though sometimes lacking, do have a lot of upsides.

It seems that my complaints fall on unconcerned ears when i express them to the Staff.

I love the way Realm integrates our membership database, grouping, and tracking with a social media type of platform. Actually allows our members to use it for effective communication.

One of the worst features is the lack of email options. The window to type in is about 2 inches high, and formatting is seriously limited.

I have always loved how easy it is to use & figure out. In the 7 years I've used, I've loved the integration with other apps/companies.

We have been able to run much better reports for our Executive Committees and we absolutely love the dashboard feature.

The ease of learning it and the help files. The support is good too.

My hope and expectation is that this capability will improve with time as the concept of a single system is very much needed.

Realm is simply the best solution available in a market without many well-integrated products available yet. Constant improvement will only make it better.

Sometimes confusing for users when it comes to privacy management and notifications.

Good option for Church management and Community building.

Extremely difficult to navigate. Lots of missing functionality.

The software is great for keeping records of donations and contributions. Also, it helps to track members attendance and giving.

The customer service has been good, and their demo was reasonably well done, though their app crashed for their employee multiple times.

I like that an ACS product is cost effective for small churches. I do bookkeeping for 9 churches that use Realm or ACS.).

I have had a positive experience with Realm. I have not had any questions that couldn't be answered or any tasks that could not be accomplished.

We use the product for event registration and that process has been easy as well, it is intuitive and provides a lot of options for tailoring to particular event needs.

The online giving is very easy and user friendly and processing of the gifts is very easy for the administrators of the church.

Ease of finding duplicate entries. Customer support is the best in the industry.

I appreciate the Realm help center and Ministry Smart training platform. The software was easy to implement and to train others to use.

Rolling out to the leaders and members is a slower process than some would like but the desire to do this well is important.

Realm is really easy to use from a user's standpoint and comprehensive.
