Verified reviewer Civic & Social Organization 2-10 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 From Beta to Best 5 I am a volunteer and was not associated with the original purchase decision several years ago, so I don’t know what other Cemetery management systems were considered. In any case, it was a good decision to purchase something because everything was kept on ‘cards’. There was considerable work done to enter ownership of lots (recorded deeds are used to show ownership) of most of the lots or partial lots, but then they stopped doing anything and no burials were recorded, just ownership. There were a lot of headstones, but no one really knew where anyone was buried. When I first volunteered, they said great, we need someone to do an inventory for us. I said ide be glad to do it. Did not hear another word from them. About two years later I had volunteered to clean headstones and happened to mention about my past volunteering to do the inventory and someone grabbed me this time and said please help. What database info they had was on the desktop version of CIMS at the time and only on one computer that was being used full time by someone else on a different task, so working with the system or even trying to enter data was next to impossible. Fortunately, I found that the cloud version had been introduced which would allow me to work from home and I convince the staff to upgrade to the new system and I was off to the races. CIMS has a great mapping program and it was a great help in helping me organize and enter data. I basically had to do a headstone by headstone inventory Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The cloud version has steadily evolved over the past few years and has become very functional and useful. It has many features that allows one to properly manage a cemetery as well a becoming a good research tool for families who are searching for relatives as additional information is added to the data base. Customer support has been outstanding and no matter who I talked to, they either helped me right away or found an answer for me and called me back. Cons: The cloud version may be been relased too soon as I kept running across problem that were being worked on or were added to an update list to be included in a future release. Also, there was no instruction manual for the cloud version and it was basically self learn or call for help. I was on the phone A LOT. I understand there is a wikiCIMS guide available now, but since I am fairly familiar with the software now and am not a power user like I was I. The past, I have not referred to it yet.

Verified reviewer Government Administration Self-Employed Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 CIMS Review 4 My overall experience with CIMS has been great. The support team is a great group of people. They are very knowledgeable of their product. They are very determined to resolve any issues that may arise. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 4 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The first Pro would be Ease of use. Prior to using CIMS we had a card file system and an ancient data system. After getting CIMS, entering, storing, and researching data has become a breeze. The second Pro would be the color coded Layers. With this option, one can ascertain availability, purchases, standard burials, veteran burials, restrictions, reservations, and even cremations. CIMS also the option of how much data can be viewed on each individual grave space. The options of data input has been very well researched by the CIMS creative team. Cons: I haven't really found any cons since using CIMS. This is not really a con, but, I have CIMS installed on my desktop and on 'the CLoud'. The formats are slightly different, but easily used.

Verified reviewer Non-Profit Organization Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 CIMScloud 3 We use CIMScloud to manage sales, inventory and burial records for our cemetery. When it runs smoothly, it has increased our efficiency and record keeping. When we have issues, the support team is easily and readily available to assist. The customer service is top-notch. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The idea behind it is fantastic. When it is working the way it should, it keeps us in real-time with the details of our business. Cons: It's incredibly slow to upload and requires daily use of the Ctrl+F5 to update. The streaming isn't the best. Read More JS JEANETTE S. Verified reviewer Non-Profit Organization Management 2-10 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 PROGRAM PROS & CONS 5 Again I have always been happy with the different programs and the support team. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: I really like the ease it takes to find burials and burial spaces. If I have a problem (which is very rare) and get immediate help and it is usually something I have done wrong. The support people are always very nice. If they do not know at the moment why I had a problem they are quick to find out and let me know. I also like that I don't have to remember to backup the data. Cons: At one time I added to the religion list the word "Other" to note that this person's funeral service was done in a funeral home chapel or at the gravesite. I no longer can enter that and cannot find a way to add this to the religion list. It would be nice to be able to put this information in if service not done at a church. Read More JP Jacki P. Verified reviewer Government Administration 201-500 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2019 EASY AND AFFORDABLE! 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: For one, the CIMS software is user-friendly! The software is easily accessible from anywhere, including your phone. It has many features that make storing and creating deeds, ownership information, and burial information simple - which reduces the time in searching through paper documents. Customer service is always readily available should there be an issue, which is very infrequent and usually caused by user error. I would recommend the CIMS software to all publicly and privately owned cemeteries. We currently have two cemeteries that are in the CIMS software and are gearing up to put a third cemetery on it. Cons: The only thing I can think of is when I try logging into it from another staff members computer it will freeze up, but that issue is probably on our end. Read More MD Michael D. Verified reviewer Non-Profit Organization Management 2-10 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 Best software 5 We are upgrading to the mapping portion of this program. It is a long process but the final program will even make our system better and better for the customer to understand. Again this is the best software that is out there! Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Mostly because of the ease an use of this software. I am not good with technology but this is so easy that anyone can do it. I really really like this software. When I have an issue or problem, I just call and they walk me through it in a way that I can easily understand. The CIMS team don’t treat you like an idiot they understand and are very professional about it. Cons: Currently I can’t think of anything that I don’t like about this software. I guess maybe the price, but when you look at it, by the time you look everything up by paper you have it done with this program. Read More WD William D. Verified reviewer Consumer Services 2-10 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2019 CIMS Software 5 We have been very pleased with the ease of use and functionality. We no longer keep paper records. The days of keeping track of burial plots on file cards are gone. We share our data upon request with persons doing genealogy research. Having pictures of the grave stones to include with the data is greatly appreciated. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The software is very easy to use. We use the Mapping version. It reduces our search time and the ability to print maps is very helpful to the employees. We have been with the CIMS software from it's early development. The company has continued to update and improve it's user ability. We have now transitioned to their cloud version and that allows me to access our data as I travel on my smartphone or tablet. We have taken pictures of the headstones and save them with the burial information. The customer support is outstanding. When I have had an issue, it has been resolved with one phone call. Cons: We have experienced no issues with the software. It meets our every need. Read More Tl Troy l. Verified reviewer Government Administration 2-10 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2019 CIMS Online easiest means to access your cemetery 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: CIMS is both detailed and responsive. The detail allows me to research and easily find a number of burial attributes ranging from actual burials and ownership to family details, markers, and customer details. It also allows me to sort historic burials to supplement our guided tours of the cemetery. Cons: The biggest improvement CIMS needs is an easy access public portal that can be linked to a website so the public can easily search the burials at the cemetery. Read More JM Julie M. Verified reviewer Government Administration 51-200 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2019 CIMS Likes and Dislikes 4 We will soon have the CIMS on our website so that hopefully it will stop some of the calls about where and who is buried in our cemetery. We will have fewer ancestor calls. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The ease of learning the software and the fact that when I have an issue and call they either answer my question right away or get back to me in the same day. Cons: Right now I do not like the fact that when you go into a block you see the owner and every time you want to go to the next lot in that Block you have to click on the burial to see it. Before you could just go to a Block click on the burial and go from lot to lot without it going back to the owner. I would also like to see it have the ability to publish the obit on the site without going thru all of the steps that you have to go thru to make that work. Read More JF Janet F. Verified reviewer Non-Profit Organization Management 2-10 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Review source Reviewed March 2019 CIMS softeware 4 I like the overall look of the cemetery thru the software. It's easier to find graves available, who the veterans are, type of burial etc. I'm still a customer in progress in that I don't dig into what I could do if I took the time to check the software out completely. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 3 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: I like the arial view of the cemetery, showing the location and the surrounding graves, it makes finding a grave much less difficult for me, family members, and our grave opening contractor. Cons: Sometimes I get locked up. I'm not sure if it's me or the software, but I usually have to go out or do an F5 to refresh the page.
