Top Rated Ekklesia 360 Alternatives
This system is perfect for a team that wants customizations but doesn't have a full time developer on staff. You can lock down certain portions or templates so that's is difficult to break if you're not up to writing code. It's also very customizable. Sky's the limit on your design. Price ranges for most budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's clunky. Like reminds you of your old myspace on the backend. You'll need to walk through several steps that might not apply to your website when entering in content because while modules can be hidden, pieces within a module cannot. If you don't care how the backend looks or the UIUX, then you'll get over it - it's relatively easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ekklesia 360 excels for all in one systems which are desirable by many churches. It reduces website management in an efficient way while it does also member communication and online giving. The readymade templates that we used to establish our church website were of immense help as it made the website development quite a fast process. Equally, the support team that we counted on when we had questions regarding our site has been top-notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ekklesia 360 is interface customization feels quite limiting despite. It is a challenge to fit that design that will exactly look like our church's appearance on the website. We find that the functionality of some features, such as the member directory, is fixed to a specific purpose which in some cases raises the bar of integrating them to our existing patterns of work operation.

The server is stable and connection is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support is only on weekdays and not 24hours, emergency number doesn't serve any purpose other than recording cases. Poor internal communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The layout of the software. Everything is compartmentalized so that you can find what you need. Learning it can be confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Trying to figure out what goes under each category. I was trying to put staff pictures up, and it took quite a few steps to do it. Even after doing it a couple of times, I was still confused about the steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We were assigned team members who walked us through every step of building out our new website. Then once the site was built, additional assistance was made available via phone call or web access. Agents are quick to respond and very helpful. We also love all the services that are available to us through the use of the product, such as event registration, form builders, calendars, integration with other software platforms, interactive calendars, blogs, and so much more!

There was a bit of a learning curve (at first) in figuring out how to build out pages, but for someone who has never built a website, it was fairly easy to work with. There is also an extensive "help" guide to walk you through every aspect of building out and maintaining your web pages and elements--but you have to be patient and willing to read through (a lot) of information. Some elements are also not as easy to identify in the back end interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer service is always super helpful and willing to work out solutions quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Certain features are not easily customizable. (Ex. office directory, alert messages, blog author bios, etc.) It is not a drag-and-drop editor or block editor like Wordpress or Wix; more coding (or purchasing) is involved for more complex layouts. Sometimes it is hard to see what a final draft will actually look like from the content editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is incredibly easy to store sermons here. The free service allows for up to a year of sermons to be stored, and gives you an RSS feed as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish this would give us an easy way to set up an iTunes podcast as well. It doesn't as far as I can tell. It also doesn't integrate as well as other softwares, but hey, it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
