Ease of use

Pros:

This product allows me as a volunteer to block out dates I can't help and to easily find a replacement if I need one. I also have access to a database of people I can call upon if necessary. I also know when my upcoming ministry assignments are via the app.

Cons:

I really don't have any complaints from a user standpoint.

Functionality

Pros:

This software is easy to use, easy to teach, allows for flexibility in how people are scheduled (auto or manual or a combination of them) and getting subs is as easy as a click. There is so much to love about this software.

Cons:

Some of the rosterizing/reporting pieces are not as easy or intuitive. I cannot always get the information I really want in a straightforward manner.

Reasons for choosing Ministry Scheduler Pro

Purchaser had 10 years experience with the product and could not find any other with the same aspects.

Reasons for switching to Ministry Scheduler Pro

Needed means of tracking volunteer hours.Noticed people being scheduled for 2 incompatible ministries at the same time.When leaders fell away, ministry scheduling stopped.

Vendor Response

Julie, thank you for sharing your glowing review! We’re thrilled that your experience with MSP has been so positive, and that MSP has helped you schedule volunteers in 3 different churches, that’s wonderful!

Doesn't compare to other scheduling software

Ministry Scheduler Pro didn't meet the needs of my ministry team. The features allow for scheduling and it's certainly better than using paper or a personal spreadsheet because it allows users to receive and respond to requests, but other softwares have allowed my organization to put more (and prettier) features right in an app on their phones for ease of access, and we won't ever go back.

Pros:

It's affordable and simple for ministries with only a few volunteers.

Cons:

It's far too simplistic and doesn't give volunteers/users the integrated experience to find all the resources needed in one place.

Best scheduling program for our parish

This program allows ministers to be responsible for entering their own information and eliminates the problems that a middle man can cause; misreading information, failing to add information etc. They are also responsible for requesting a sub and then helping their fellow ministers by filling in for them. It is working extremely well.

Pros:

The integration process was easy, almost instant. Ministers reacted very positively to the interactivity of the program, appreciating the ease of requesting and sub and filling a position. The program tracks the times that ministers have been scheduled in the past and schedules appropriately going forward.

Cons:

I can't thing of anything I don't like about the software.

Reasons for choosing Ministry Scheduler Pro

Reasons for switching to Ministry Scheduler Pro

The scheduling program in ParishSOFT was actually an add-on with very little customer support. It was very flawed with little capacity for fine-tuning the scheduling. There were many mistakes made and once a schedule was generated, it took a lot of manual tweaking to produce an acceptable result. When someone needed a sub, it involved many phone calls, texts, voice mails - and then no guarantee that anyone would actually show up and sub in.

We are just getting started but already we can see that this will be a huge time saver for our secretary and ministry leaders as well as a great way to help families that minister together to be scheduled together more often.

Pros:

It's very user friendly. Most of our volunteers were able to access their schedules and make updates to their profiles as soon as they received the announcement email. The tutorial videos are a great resource, too!

Cons:

I did experience a couple of glitches over the weekend that had me contacting tech support and waiting until office hours was a bit annoying.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for the kind words, Maria! Thrilled to hear your volunteers are getting up and running easily, that the Help Center has been valuable, and you've already saved so much time! Our tech support team is happy to help with scheduling questions, big or small. Excited to be part of your journey!

Pros:

Overall, the ability to schedule volunteers for our weekend Masses through autoscheduling makes all the difference. Additionally, using the app in Kisok-mode has streamlined our check-in process and reduced volumes of paper. Lastly, the service we have received is the best I have seen, and I was in IT for 40+ years. The support team is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and always very timely with their responses. Two thumbs way up for the tool and the team.

Cons:

Nothing that I have run across to this point. Everything that we use is critical to our operation and the tool is easy to use and intuitive. No cons to note at this time.
