Church Presentation Software

I can't invite more than 5 users from other Google Workspace in a month to collaborate. Don'tknow if this is a feature limit for my pricing tier but this restricts collaboration to a certain extent. I'm searching for a workaround in the meantime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's worth investing in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest benefit is collaboration. I don't have to manage multiple emails to invite and share my work with my clients. Plus it is really affordable for me for my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been having to resize/reposition my images when I bring them into templates that have a left or right border. It would be so much easier if the user could customize how the image gets placed (fit to space / fill space). In addition, I'd like to see the ability to purchase additional minutes rather than jumping from 120 all the way up to 360 minutes of video for the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistency in training, professional avatars keep us from having to deal with inconsistent video backgrounds & sound issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features are locked behind a premium plan, and a few customizations could be better. But overall, the free version is still great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplified is solving the problem of managing multiple design and content creation tools. By combining graphic design, video editing, social media management, and AI-powered writing into one platform, it eliminates the need for switching between different apps. This benefits me by saving time, improving productivity, and making it easier to create professional-quality content without needing advanced skills. The user-friendly interface and powerful features allow me to focus on creativity rather than learning complex software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are quite a few steps to get to the "Send" screen. This is not much of a Con because it is a result of the system's great, customizable options and detailed views for great reporting, but it would help our team improve our effeciency with sending calls to many different groups if there were fewer pages or steps involved.

Previously, our team was manually calling individuals to inform them that their partnership gifts did not go through. This was very time-consuming, and most of the calls went to voicemail. After implementing DialMyCalls for automating these calls, partners are notified more quickly, they receive a detailed voicemail or they can connect with our team immediately to update their giving. This has increased our team's efficiency and increased our ability to engage in personal calls with those who prefer to call in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software’s ready-made templates simplify the input process and offer suggestions for engaging the audience, including icebreakers. Its greatest advantage lies in its user-friendly interface, which facilitates quick presentation creation and succinct results summaries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mentimeter is an effective tool for enhancing the dynamism of a class session, presentation, or team-building event. It can be utilized to introduce topics, gather data and opinions from the audience, and create engaging games. This enables real-time data analysis. All participants are free to contribute to the discussion at any time, whether from their computers or portable devices. The results are immediately visible, while the presenter has control over the order and timing of the information presented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to Clearstream is that using an emoji costs more credits. However, I'm fairly confident we knew that from the beginning. Clearstream is transparent about costs and what features are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have unique gathering rhythms at our church. We meet in a large group format every other week and meet in homes for small groups on the off weeks. Before Clearstream, people felt they were unsure which weekends we were meeting. This allows us to send out updates weekly to let people know where we are meeting as well as links to resources they can use for their small groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some dislikes if I have to list will be that some PowerPoint lags or does not sync when 3-4 person are working together on the same presentation online which definitely hinders in collaboration and work efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft PowerPoint helps in creating professional as well as visually appealing presentation with a very wide range of templates, formats and animations. Other best thing about PowerPoint is that it's integration with onedrive which helps in cloud usage as well as team collaboration on a same presentation or project and helps in real-time correction.

As much as I enjoy using VEED for its user-friendliness, it sometimes falls short in the customization department for more sophisticated editing needs. The auto-subtitle feature, although a significant time-saver, isn't flawless and occasionally requires manual adjustments. I often find the limitations of the free version, such as watermarks and export options, nudging me toward a paid subscription. Additionally, the need for a stable internet connection for cloud-based editing limits where and when I can use the platform. Despite these issues, I find myself frequently returning to VEED due to its convenience and ease of integration into my workflow. The customer support has room for improvement, as more proactive and responsive assistance would greatly enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VEED has addressed several business challenges for me, particularly in streamlining the video production process. It saves me time by allowing quick edits and the automatic generation of accurate subtitles, which is crucial for engaging a diverse, global audience. The cloud-based nature of the platform means I can work collaboratively with my team in real-time, regardless of location, enhancing our productivity. Additionally, VEED's extensive range of features allows me to maintain a high standard of video content without the need for expensive equipment or software, reducing my overall operational costs.

Only downside would be the feature to text the schedule instead of email is not as user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to schedule volunteers and communicate with them when they are scheduled Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is very diffcult to manage events accross differnet Ministry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app allows for detailed member profiles and records, making it easy to keep track of everyone’s engagement and needs.

You can quickly schedule events, track attendance, and manage groups, which simplifies planning and keeps the congregation connected.

Built-in messaging features make it simple to send updates to specific groups or the whole church, keeping everyone in the loop without needing multiple apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the simplicity, there is little ability to configure the system outside of the box. We had to modify how we did things a little but in the end it worked. We found out that we could connect this to our donor system and to our financial system only to find out later that we had to spend an additional $2,000 to have the proper rights in our financial system to make the connection work. While the price for DonorHub is minimal, one has to be aware upfront of the potential of additional costs to connect it to the financial system. This may not be the case for all ERPs but it was for Sage Intacct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed to give 200 associates personal access to ministry funds so that they could make appropriate decisions with their funding. They also are communicating with partners who are helping them to see that there is sufficient funds for ministry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would sometimes like Relayto to have a clock or timer that I could check to know how much time I'm investing in making edits because I think I sometimes spend too much time on the platform trying to create the perfect interactive content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem that Relayto solves is the challenge of finding a way to create interactive content and make it look professional in a very short time. The best part is that a person doesn’t have to be an expert to achieve this. Personally, I used to spend a lot of time trying to animate my presentations, but I was rarely satisfied with the results, and it took me too long. And when I had to create more than one article, the time would double or triple. Relayto optimizes the content presentation process and makes it intuitive and user-friendly.

I can't think of anything I dislike about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is providing the ability to contact our employees during an emergency. We are a small non-profit and being able to avoid ongoing monthly fees, is a huge benefit for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features, such as Power BI or additional Teams capabilities, are locked behind higher-tier subscriptions, which might not be cost-effective for small businesses or individual users. Moreover, the initial setup and learning curve for tools like Power Automate can be daunting for non-technical users. Occasionally, updates might introduce temporary compatibility issues between applications, disrupting workflows momentarily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the main challenges with Microsoft 365 is that some advanced features, such as Power BI or additional capabilities in Teams, are only available in higher-tier subscription plans, which can be a barrier for small businesses or individual users. Additionally, the initial setup and learning curve for tools like Power Automate can be complex for those unfamiliar with advanced technical solutions. However, these challenges have allowed me to explore the Microsoft 365 ecosystem more deeply and uncover ways to maximize its functionalities. For instance, diving into Power Automate has helped me automate time-consuming tasks, significantly improving my productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing! Again, this is the easiest software I have used in my entire life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Church Teams helps me solve the variety of requests from our membership group. It is a quick and easy application to use when tracking attendance, giving, campaigns, designated donations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because I am just learning how to use the platform, I would like to be able to change the background of the photo I used (This is really my issue due to the photo I selected to use; I am planning to have updated profile photos taken thus I will keep the background in mind). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WOW! It solves a number of problems, first it is a time saver! It allows the production of video presentations with ease, few retakes needed. The Avatar reads the script correctly every time!

Next, because all you have to do is plug in the script there isn't a need to find a location to record, get hair and make-up done, ect.. It makes video creation so easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike to be honest, but sometimes it takes some time to preview the video, but it's understandable because of the video quality, so it's definitely worth the wait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It solves the challenge of creating excellent videos in no time. Because you can use the AI video generator feature so you can have an engaging and professional video in seconds. For me it's a game changer in training development, it saves a lot of my time, I just need to adapt the outcome to my needs. It also enhance my storytelling and that helps me to keep the trainings interactive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see a downside to using IconCMO. It is user friendly and very easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IconCMO is a wonderful resource for our church to be organized and good stweards of our finances. It also allows for transparency since multiple users can access the information anywhere with an interenet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a user end, I like all of it. I haven't spent much time on the other side of it, but I do wish we could use it as a point of sale as well for our bookstore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives us one place to send our people for all things church because it is all on the church center app. So it's ease of integration into what we're already doing is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more premade reports built in to the system. Also, when exporting data to csv files, I'd prefer not having to modify the resulting spreadsheet by deleting multiple columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The contribution module works great and it is very easy to enter and organize batches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
