The UI is a little difficult, both on the web and the app.

Found it fairly easy to configure and there are ample  examples and demo's within the documentation when you have a question. From a price performance perspective Pastorlines is very competative.

We mainly went with PL for the price and syncing with CCB. I like supporting the smaller orgs and because of it we've had good customer service.

It's been great- the customer service has always been quick to respond and very helpful.

In addition, the automation features that allow on-boarding of new community members are fantastic and well thought out.

I found that the software can be a bit intimidating at first to use and get set up with.

Sending out a targeted text gets a much better response from those you are trying to reach and PastorsLine handles this simply and beautifully. Also, the usefulness of their app has been great.

I wouldn't say there's anything we dislike about the software.

The user interface is cluttered and confusing.

Very pleased with the product and the roadmap of features to come.

Pastorsline is packed with features and customization options, it integrates perfectly with the software solutions we already use, and their customer support is AMAZING.

We had to put our deployment on hold until PCO exited beta. The mobile app is hard to use and very limited in functionality.

Excellent responsiveness and support from customer service. It's made a positive different in our ability to engage with our congregation.

The ease of use, via web, app or email is fantastic. Group texting and scheduling is by far my favorite feature.

Overall, it's been a very positive experience. I love the simplicity of use to benefit ratio.

I have a hard time with the search bar and trying to find groups at times. My groups from CCB don't update well at times, so i miss people i need to be texting.

We needed something simple and effective that could be deployed at a moment's notice, and this was a great, economical solution that fit our needs perfectly.

Still learning how to use it all. Right now my biggest issues is the voice mails I'm receiving that are spam.

Fantastic feature set with lots of options. Powerful integration with third party chms which is a must for us.

We integrate with PCO and it works wonderfully. We like that we had the option to sign up for a yearly plan so our credits don’t expire every month.

PastorsLine is a great resource for churches. It is a great service with good features.

The integration between CCB is huge advantage for our church. I really like the live changes that happens between CCB and PastorsLine.

The online and app use is a bit of a mess at times.

We have been able to utilize the system with a relatively small amount of training, it does everything we need, and it come at a great price.

PastorsLine is relentlessly committed to improvement. I am constantly receiving correspondence indicating that they are resolving issues, improving systems, etc.

I have had a great experience and they have been very responsive to input and resolution to issues.

It has been amazing how helpful it has been to stay connected and in communication through this platform.

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

The customer service is great. I am thankful for this program and the people involved.

Great option for churches just getting into texting and/or following through on guest's requests. Easy to use and set up and very good pricing options.

Integration with MailChimp. No Emojis when using a web browser.

Ita the most wonderful and fantastic product to use to text people.

The opportunity to follow-up with people through text is great.

The customer service is great, I am just unsure how we are going to like it moving forward because of the before mentioned issues.

It is easy to use and makes it so easy to communicate with our attendees.

Overall we are pleased and believe that our purposes to reach out to first-time guests are being served.

I am having a hard time putting in new uses because the timing has me a little confused. We also have tried the plan my visit on our website but so far no one has used it.

Help and suppport are quick and easy to talk with when needed. The groups are easy to setup and use.

Great customer service and overall interaction.

I also LOVE the groups! you don't have to go in and select each person each time hoping you don't forget anyone! you can just click the group you want, one click! easy peasy.

The ease of use to send out a mass text to everyone in the congregation as a reminder is a great tool. Also, to organize meetings and events with a smaller core of people it is an awesome tool.

There was too much communication and it took forever to cancel. Then the emails were non stop.

Inability to use short code when choosing sending number.

It was the best investment we made in engaging with guests and communicating with our congregation.

We continue to use it because options are quite limited when it comes to this type of program.

I love that it integrates with the main database I use for our church. I love that I can schedule things things to go out and not have to worry about it again.

The workflow is one of their greatest features. Once the workflow is setup you do not have to continue to setup up messages, it's automatically done for you.

It's the best investment we've made for our church and it continues to grow and improve providing the best features you could ask for.

I love this product - it’s fun and it’s working to develop relationships necessary for increases engagement.

For the price, it's a really great for automation.

Problems with Church Management Software integration (Church Community Builder).

Ease of use and ability to communicate with our congregation.

It is a great way to send out text messages, emails to individuals as well as specific groups within your church community.

The App, limitation with custom links and inability’s to set specific permissions for isers added.

If there is anything to complain about it that the software does not notify you via text/email of interaction. You must be in the software/app to get notifications.

It is clear that TIC thought through just about everything that is relevant to excellent guest follow-up. Automated workflows allow detailed communication with people.

We are very happy with this software. It is allowing us to be connected to so many of our congregation with minimal time invested.

Text in Church customer service is incredible & I very much loved their option to help in getting all my forms set up so all I had to do was go in and customize.

They are always helpful and quick to answer any questions or concerns that I have.

I love that I can communicate with groups of people but there is individual and personal interaction. I love that you can see who opted out of further messages and am able to update my main database.

It integrates with our Church Management Software. The training that the give with it is awesome.

Fairly simple to learn and use most if not all of the functions. What you don't understand they provide quick and easy support with an amazing team that replies extremely fast to messages.
