No incentive was offered Overall, I'm quite impressed with Proclaim. It has changed our worship service by Leaps and Bounds, and made me more efficient getting my work done during the week. There are so many features yet that we have not even begin to scratch the surface on, but I'm excited for the future in hopes that we will dig deeper and begin to use them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros What I love most about Proclaim is that it is so intuitive with the layout and how things are put together. It doesn't take a computer genius to be able to lay out a presentation. Also, the person left to run the presentation during the service needs to know nothing more than how to Progressive slide forward or backward. It's really that simple! Proclaim is even made it super simple by integrating our work subscriptions, Bible versions in scripture, along with song lyrics within the software. It is literally a one-stop-shop. What used to take me over 2 hours to do in illustrator, Photoshop, and PowerPoint, I can now get done in about 30 minutes and Proclaim. The customer service is also outstanding! Each time that I have emailed them, I've gotten a reply back usually the same day with a personalized email addressing my specific question. No Scripts or faceless reply to #### Cons One of the things I like least about this software is the dependability of the sinking upload feature. I can work on a presentation at home, and press the sync feature leave my laptop open for a couple hours, and it still won't show up on the church computer several days later. We end up having to share the actual presentation file through Google Drive in order to make sure that everyone has access to the file that they need. I wish that there was a way that I could actually see the progress of a file being synced and know what it is 100% uploaded and ready to collaborate with. The other thing that I don't like about the software is that all the art, song lyrics, and in-depth Bible study stuff are all extra subscription cost. Period. In addition to the money that is spent each month on Proclaim itself. For a small church, this can be quite an expense and not everyone is able to pay it. The church that I attend is about 30 to 40 people on a good Sunday, and they do pay for the Proclaim software, but I end up having to pay for all the artwork subscriptions myself just so that I don't pull my hair out trying to put presentations together. The basic artwork included with Proclaim is lackluster at best. --- ### Relatively Happy, but Faithlife needs to up its game to become the best - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dave F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very helpful people, with a great attitude, always willing to try and assist, help you to use the products better, how ever they are still in some organisational silo's which means some not so joined ujp thinking #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Well integrated suite of products on many fronts, speed to podcast, or integration to live stream and website works well #### Cons They need to choose to become a global company and think more internationally, there world is very much through a US lense, so the product has some internationalisation limitations #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Better integration a fair price, a great attitude with good people #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos INtegration, capability and functionality --- ### Not too happy at the moment. - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Lisa L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros When the program was running with ease. Although I have been working with this program for 2 year, although I still didn't know all of the ropes to it, I am able to quickly find information on my own in order to implement new jobs that are requested of me. #### Cons About a month ago, I have communicated with a CS regarding my inability to get any posts to actually load and post to my personal page as well as our Church page- I am a moderator and have access to do so. CS was able to assist me with the complications the first time finding that my account had been flagged as potential spam; I haven't done anything different recently; never encountered an issue in the past. a CSR was able to troubleshoot the issue and I was granted access only to find that I was once again unable to post anything the following day. I reached out to a CSR once again and repeatedly through e-mails and only received a reply that they had received the second e-mail with the issue but never received assistance or a resolution. I also asked for some suggestions as to what I may have accidentally done wrong so that I might can fix it to no avail. It has been 21 days so far. (I am able to access and use all other features; the only issues are with the sharing of our information, daily verses, daily devotionals, links and church service reminder posts) My pastor has full access to our main account as well as his account and IS able to post with no issues. I have created another account and awaiting for my pastor to grant me permissions to our main account. I don't feel like repeatedly creating multiple accounts in order to use the site is something I should do. #### Vendor response Hi Lisa, thank you for the review. I'm so sorry for the experience you've had. We'll reach out promptly to try and resolve these issues. Replied January 2021 --- ### Everything in ONE, easy to use package - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Peter P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Performing Arts - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our overall experience has been great! We've loved making use of it, and will continue for the foreseeable future. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We originally moved to proclaim because of the ease of use. Everything is so clearly laid out and really well labelled. Gradually features have been added at just the right time. Our sermons are now recorded using proclaim and immediately uploaded to our website! We regularly used the Pro Media package, but even the free media was exceptional. One super useful feature, is how easily Proclaim connects to songselect and other databases. We make full use of the ability for multiple team members to edit presentations. We're still figuring out all of the features, but it's been incredible to see how the software has developed over the years and all of the features that they've added. #### Cons On occasion, it can feel like features have been implemented but not totally thought through, however, this is usually fixed very quickly as users feedback. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Proclaim was the most straightforward piece of software, our volunteers were running presentations on their first week, and adding items to the service. Now, the feature list is so great that we would struggle to switch! #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos We needed to upgrade to the new version of Mediashout to continue using it, and our machines were struggling a lot, proclaim worked well on our machines all those years ago! #### Vendor response Peter, we're so glad you found Proclaim easy to use and helpful for your ministry! Replied October 2020 --- ### Why We Use Proclaim - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lei F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Faithlife Proclaim has solved our projection issues. It is easier to build our Presentations as well as having the ability to use non-technical volunteers to operate it. Our Sunday Morning Presentations have been seamless. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Proclaim is web-based so everyone on the team has access to it wherever there are. It has proved the easiest Projection System that we have ever used. Even first time users have no trouble catching on and running the program. Proclaim continues to improve with new features. It has a generous amount of images for backgrounds, it includes surveys, games, announcements, and it becomes a digital bulletin with a Connection Card. Changes can be made while 'on air', videos are easy to import, the song database is easy to use. A light board can be connected to the songs themselves. #### Cons So far, after 2 years, we have not experienced any cons #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos We became part of Faithlife Equip and Proclaim was included. The pricing for everything was excellent. Proclaim's ease of use convinced us. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Proclaim was easier to use. --- ### Valuable Church Leadership Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Robert T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Proclaim has helped us to integrate sermon slides with the worship slides that we use week to week. It has allowed us to include multiple users, who each play a part in planning our worship services. #### Cons There are a couple of places where the software seems a bit clunky and not very intuitive, but these are pretty rare, and overall, not much of an issue. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos We had previously used microsoft power point to project lyrics to songs. The amount of work to do this each week was enormous, and very cumbersome. Proclaim has made the work infinitely easier. --- ### What a versatile product! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tim D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It wasn't until our church had to go entirely virtual last March that I really grew to appreciate the features and functionality of Proclaim. Other platforms don't have the ability for at-home collaboration and require that users have to be on the licensed computer to edit. Proclaim has been versatile and useful for our church and continues to get better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I think one of the best parts of Faithlife Proclaim is the company behind it. If there is a feature that I haven't understood I have always been able to get the help I need. Several times now they have made updates that have made our overall workflow much easier. For example, the recording feature became a very useful and appreciated feature, cutting lots of time off of our service editing each week. #### Cons If you use the chords on the confidence monitor, there is no ability to edit size and font, this has been a bit of a frustration, but not significant. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos I am also a Logos user and had really enjoyed my experience with Faithlife, so making this choice was very easy. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos It was not designed for church usage so it was very feature lean and difficult to edit. --- ### A very good option - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Luiz S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it is the best experience I have had using this kind of application. It has a cost but it is worth the price. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros What I like the most is the fact that I can prepare all the material in advance from anywhere in my laptop and when I come to the church to use, it is there and it works. #### Cons Some times is har to control it remotely. I use my phone on he pulpit or a tablet but it dosen't work all the time. I would say 8/10 times works fine. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos They layout was more clear and user friendly and the cloud service is included and works for me. No extra costs for the remote control app as well. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Some features that I need it such us playing videos and etc. #### Vendor response Luiz, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you've found Proclaim helpful. We are continuing to make updates to the remote app, hopefully you'll see improvements with the experience in the coming year. Replied January 2021 --- ### Solid choice if you just need the basics - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melody Kay C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Good choice for now, as I have not found a similar option that is cloud-based at that price point. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros A lot of functionality available with the product . We particularly love how it is cloud-based -- meaning, we can work on our production sets even while at home or remotely. This makes Proclaim very "portable". Also enjoy how we can set templates and organize media easily. The readily available graphics also are helpful for quick updates. Appreciate how we can set different output per display screen, and how easy it is to do overlays with foreground/background setups. #### Cons Some of the functionality require other Faithlife apps to be fully utilized (e.g. giving, signals, etc). Would be great if they can be integrated with usual apps that users already have. We have some issues with playing videos sometimes -- as it randomly does not work. May need getting some used to with regards to shortcuts and buttons. With the functionality available, there's quite a lot of learning to be done. Also tried contacting customer support twice and did not hear back from them at all. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Needed a cloud-based option at the price point. --- ### Great software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Justin L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our church enjoys using Proclaim. We made a switch from another software that wasn't as user friendly and that you had to pay for updates to get new media. It allowed us to start a podcast with the messages to keep our church members connected even when they couldn't be at church. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The amount of features that come with Proclaim, how they update and send out new media each month, the option of creating things for other Proclaim users to use or for us to use other church's creations as well. Love that it is cloud based which allows Mac users and Windows users to work on it without having to purchase anything else. #### Cons That there are so many options to choose from with good media that have a monthly price. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Price, new media availability each month, and the fact that it is cloud based so that multiple people can work on it no matter if they have a Windows computer or a Mac. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Price, features, and ability to create a podcast straight from Proclaim --- ### I am REALLY excited about this software, just WOW, however... - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: William A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I got super excited about this software. It has made me realize the potential for easily increasing productivity, quality, and integration. However, as I mentioned in the cons, it is a bit of a letdown when several of the key features don't work quite as advertised. This being said, there is a lot in this software and if the Proclaim team will keep working to improve, I will be using the software for as long as I can imagine. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Makes adding songs, references, and sermon slides crazy efficient by integrating lyrics, clouds, backgrounds, calendars, collaboration, all under one intuitive software. Plus, it allows you to take presentations to the next level with a confidence monitor for the band, and interactive features such as questions that can be answered on your phone and more. #### Cons Many of the features I got really excited have in practice been a let down. For example, adding chords to the confidence monitor is a big deal! But, the 'key change' feature just doesn't seem to work. Another let down was the remote app. For one, you can't download it to windows devices (like surface) AND if you try to use it to write on verses the verses are blurred on the remote when using the 'real bible' feature. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Honestly, I checked out Proclaim and didnt really look at any others #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Worship extreme was limited and not intuitive. PowerPoint is very inefficient. --- ### Proclaim for Youth Ministry - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stephen C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. On the whole, I have really enjoyed using Proclaim and it has brought a level of professionalism and ease to presenting information to the students in our Youth Ministry on both Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. This has been a fantastic tool! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how easy it is to integrate a slide presentation made on Apple Keynote into an overall Sunday morning presentation. I can produce my sermon slides and they can easily be added to the slides for the songs that we are also sining that morning. #### Cons It can seem a bit daunting at first; but honestly, this is easily overcome. Proclaim seems to be highly intuitive, actually. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos When I started this position, Proclaim was already in use by the Youth Ministry. I initially was hesitant to embrace it but quickly saw just how easy it was to use and grew to love it! --- ### pricey but powerful - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joel M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Team management has made this program extremely beneficial. Unlimited downloads allows each team member to download on their own device to add their content. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Proclaim integrates with other Faithlife applications like Logos, Sites, and Groups #### Cons I have had issues with importing powerpoint presentations, especially when on a Mac device. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos See above comment. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Switched from just using Powerpoint. Also tried Mediashout and Easy Worship. Integration capabilities played a large part, but also found it more powerful yet intuitive for videos, lyrics, backgrounds, etc. --- ### Professional presentation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eric G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall the program is wonderful and really changed the ease of running our worship service. We could not do everything on Sunday without Proclaim. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how professional everything looks. Being a small church we could never produce the slides that we use. The slides help to present the message with appeal while also highlighting important themes. #### Cons I have not come across anything I absolutely could not do without but it would be nice to be able to integrate websites and have access to control them. I have wanted to play a video for a website but could not because once the website is added I could not press play. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos The integration of everything in a single platform. --- ### A great presentation program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dave C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Proclaim has been better for the flow of worship services, and my tech does a great job using it to make our Sunday worship services flow. With a cue added, the sermon is recorded automatically with a local file and easy to publish online. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros There is a huge still-image media collection available, and there is a lot of opportunity to edit slides and create new or edited slides. Shorter video files can be added in easily, and importing music files and lyrics for use later also works well. #### Cons Sermon editing is not as flexible as in PowerPoint. Text effects and multiple items per slide are much more limited, if using more visual elements instead of simple outline is important to you. PowerPoint can be imported, but runs less efficiency. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos To use a more integrated worship/website/sermon platform. --- ### Great Small Church Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nate B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This solution helped us get ready to go online with our services and was easy to implement. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The ability to work remotely from multiple devices and have it sync to the main computer used for presenting. Ease of developing high quality slides. #### Cons Not being able to fully tailor a single presentation for different screens (in house vs online/virtual). #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Cost and ability to work remotely and have things sync to the presentation machine. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Easier to format slides. Ability to add other controls. --- ### Proclaim for Church - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: John Marc C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall we love using Proclaim. The ability to have everything cloud based and to add all of our volunteers to our team without any extra cost is great! Our volunteers are able to create slides at home and they sync directly to our church computers without any problem. We love Proclaim! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We love using Proclaim at our church. We use it for all of our presentation needs. We use it for our sonf service, as well as our preaching times. The integrations with CCLI makes creating song slides easy while the integration with Logos Bible software makes exporting slides over extremely easy. It's also great that if our preacher uses Logos software, they can control the slides directly from their message document. #### Cons The editing of slides and content is a little hard to use and doesn't always work the way that you want it to. Their custom slide layouts have never really been of much use to us and their content library is not the best unless you want to pay for the partnerships that they have with other media producers. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Ease of use. Syncing. --- ### Great price and amazing quality! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Leah H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It is such an easy program to use and to teach others how to use, yet it gives you amazing quality as well! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love Proclaim from Faithlife for my church because it is a easy to use program that offers countless ways to make your media look the best by far! This software allows you to create your content on your own and also gives you hundreds of thousands of already create d content. You will never use Proclaim and be dissatisfied with the products, tools, and resources it gives you. There are also hundreds of video tutorials, helpful articles, and great customer service available! I have never been disappointed in what this product has to offer. #### Cons The only con of this software is that you can only project content from one computer instead of being able to use multiple computers or desktops to project your media. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos This software was highly recommended to us by multiple people and churches. We have had great encounters with people from the customer service and the price is a very good price for all that is given to you. #### Vendor response Thank you for leaving a review, Leah! We're so glad you've enjoyed using Proclaim. As far as projecting from multiple computers, you are not limited to the number of times you can download Proclaim, so you can have it any computer! You'll just have to set up different outputs for each of those computers.

No incentive was offered Overall we are quite happy with the software. It has given us the tools to make a polished and professional presentation in less time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Proclaim software is easy to install, intuitive, has a well designed gui. In our time of using the software so far it has been practically trouble free. The program is under constant development with new features being added and existing features improved regularly. There is an extensive and flexible set of tools for creating slides and other service items that allows freedom of design. The software comes with a large set of free media for use in presentations that is regularly added to. #### Cons Customer support is sometimes difficult to get in touch with. There is no single location for documentation on using the software like a user manual. It is in bits and pieces and requires a lot of time going through the website, videos and forums to learn the ins and outs of the software. Support relies too heavily on videos for training and support. You have to watch a several minute video (sometimes over and over) to learn what could have been done in a few paragraphs that could be printed if needed. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Price and other integrated tools such as the website #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos In addition to Proclaim, Faithlife offered a suite of tools that are beneficial to our church. #### Vendor response Thank you for the feedback, Steve. I'm happy to say that we're working on gathering a manual of sorts for Proclaim, so hopefully you'll find that helpful. Replied January 2021 --- ### Force Updates during Live Use ... (VERY BAD THING TO DO) - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: David W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Nice (except for the constant forced updates). When it goes bad -- very bad! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It easily takes all of the imports from the Logos Sermon Builder platform or from Microsoft Power Point. #### Cons The inability to control the timing of updates is a VERY BAD thing. Streaming integration - absolutely necessary for this day and age, is getting worse, not better. Very, very slow at responding to product changes from the user community at large. --- ### Great program that is easy to use and perfect for beginners - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Amy B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, Proclaim has been the easiest software to use in regards to presentation software like ProPresenter and MediaShout. It has great connectivity functionality and has been making strides towards being wireless and having excellent cloud integration! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I currently use Proclaim and it has been very helpful for my organization (religious institution) in planning our services. I use another, similar software as well and so it is interesting to see the similarities and differences with each. What I like MOST about Proclaim is its MOBILITY... I can literally download the software onto my laptop and work on it anywhere I go. If I have a last-minute adjustment to make, I just open my computer, make the change, and it shows up on all other devices logged into my Proclaim account, including the main computer at my organization. That is definitely my favorite part of the software! #### Cons I don't really have anything negative to say about Proclaim, but if there was one thing to pick on, it would be the lack of media options. I expected the software to come pre-loaded with default media like still/moving backgrounds, wallpapers, audio files, etc, but there hasn't been much selection. HOWEVER, there is available media for purchase... which has ended up working out when needed in a pinch. --- ### Superb product and product support - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lonnie S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our young people who run our church’s soundboard learned the process quickly. As pastor, I’m upfront so don’t really do the live-streaming part. We have three different groups/people who lead worship, and they can insert song or announcements into a service from home. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We implemented the use of Proclaim on a moment’s notice due to churches being shut down in Washington state due to COVID. We needed to purchase a couple pieces of equipment to live-stream, and once we had everything the techies at Proclaim support walked us through the process. They were patient and helpful. Prior to live-streaming we used Proclaim within the church and the learning curve was easy due to the tutorials online. We like the simplicity and ease of putting the service together. #### Cons There was a bit of a learning curve as to where OBS ended and Proclaim started, but that was overcome quickly. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Due to the pastor being familiar with Faithlife products, primarily Logos, we immediately went to Proclaim. The tech support that Faithlife provides is outstanding. --- ### Excellent Church Presentation Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dave H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The software has enabled us a church team to have access to the presentations and input our own info and means we don't have to keep emailing or meeting to finish a presentation #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability for team members to consolidate and update individual presentations. It is multi presentation and location so it can be used at differing meetings at the same time, presenting either the same or differing items. It is relatively easy to learn and the skill needed to just present is minimal. It has the ability to present a very wide range of slides and streams internet content very easil. #### Cons Doesn't always like PowerPoint uploads from a Mac. #### Reasons for choosing Proclaim by Logos Down to functionality and online access for all, for our needs and pricing, having the ability to multi broadcast and ease of use was important. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos Down to functionality and online access for all, for our needs and pricing, having the ability to multi broadcast and ease of use was important. --- ### Hard to Change, But the Added Features Are Worth It - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kevin S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Proclaim became the center of our worship service. Via Proclaim we projected announcements, Scripture, song lyrics, and sermon slides all in one package, and afterwards Proclaim would automatically upload the sermon slides and audio to our website (and as a podcast). It has made life so much easier for us as a small church. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We like that Proclaim has a large number of features that are integrated into the application: Importing Bible text, importing song lyrics (even more if one has a CCLI license), and automated recording and uploading of sermons / podcasts to the church website (if one has a Faithlife Site, which we do). Collaboration was a big deal for us too, as our song leader could edit his music lyrics from home while I edited my sermon outline slides. Amazing. #### Cons The hardest part of Proclaim for us was how it was so unlike PowerPoint, which is what we used before. Proclaim does not have the complex design capabilities. Proclaim focuses really on one idea per screen, instead of multiple bullet points. One one learns to work around and through the clunkiness, it actually becomes second nature to use. #### Reasons for switching to Proclaim by Logos The combined, integrated functions that Proclaim brought made giving up PowerPoint an easy choice. --- ### Cloud based Church Presentation Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Big fan and excited to see where they go next. Great to work with and support is killer! They are there to help you make the most of the app. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Early adopters of cloud based church presentations. No saving or needing to use USB drives. Everything is in the cloud! All your media, all your slides... everything in the cloud! #### Cons Was a little unstable early on but seem to have it all under control now. Must have access to the internet. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/worship/faithlife-proclaim-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Proclaim by Logos Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
