Church Windows - easy to use

It's still much better than my previous experience with ACS. Much more user-friendly. Support has gotten slow but always resolves issues.

PROS

Easier to use, once you understand the program. Lots of options for customizable reports. All our church info in one place.

CONS

The customer service has gotten slower to respond over the years. You can pay extra for premium support, which I don't appreciate. Been a customer for 15 years, paid a lot of annual fees for support.

Reasons for switching to Church Windows

ACS was much less user-friendly, at least 15 years ago

Navigating Church Windows for Ease of Use

Overall experience is very good. I would rate it very well. Adequate support makes all the difference in helping to apply a good experience in working with any kind of software uses.

PROS

I like how all of the options and functions are easy to find and navigate through in finding the information and the end result of printing out a report, labels, or directory listing that I am looking for. All of the information is easy to read, find, and use when I am able to print out a listing and read it correctly.

CONS

I did not like how the instructions are somewhat muddled and a little hard to interpret sometimes. The system itself is easy to use, but however the steps in order to understand in how to use the software is not necessarily the easiest to understand. Whenever I have contacted Church Windows phone support they have always been very helpful, but sometimes it gets confusing in order to know how to ask the certain questions to under to achieve the end results for what I am looking for. I am going to explore more so in newest coffee break webinars in order to access the features and function to help me understand the system and help me to navigate around it much better.

Reason for choosing Church Windows

We started looking at other options, but didn't go with another software. More so because of costs, but also the simple fact the church staff would need to relearn a new software. Change is a long process at our congregation, and any new change is not overly exciting. Sometimes change does not work out the best with our staff, and especially if our reports and any records would be printed out very differently, it would be very difficult to be able to accept the end results if we weren't satisfied and we would be going back to Church Windows anyway.
