ACTS is an open source and free church information management software with features including membership information, check-in, room booking, accounting, donation, etc. This software supports multi-users, network access, and built-in web-based application modules which enables churches to provide online services for members to view personal data, room booking, etc.
The best thing about Actsofts system it that I can use my phone or computer as well while in meetings at home without having any issues of lag time when using both devices simultaneously. It also has other benefits such as being able to connect multiple computers together so you don't have to go through one device constantly if your internet goes down. There isn't much dislike but there could be more options available for people who are not familiar with technology.
If someone was new to this…
Pros
Great customer service
Easy access from anywhere
Ability tp link up 3 monitors (2 screens) 1 laptop1 desktop3 mobile phones etc..all under same window.
I like that when you type in any of your member's names or last first initial it will automatically pull up all their info from our database so there isn't anything manual about adding them into this system! It can be slow at times if too many people are trying logging onto one computer; however once loading does start coming through everything seems fine after awhile again.
Sometimes we have problems getting some reports generated properly but they usually come out ok eventually!! Just make…
Pros
Great customer service representatives!!! Very useful information retrieval capabilities also very easy access thru online help area available 24 hours per day 7 days week
I like that it's easy enough my people can use without any training! Some of our new users have been confused by some buttons they don't understand yet - but we're working through those issues one at time :) We were looking into using this product because there weren;t many options out there in terms of managing volunteers' contact info from several different sources (we used the old version called Contacts Pro). It works great as long as you know what things do/don't work well with your…
I like that it's easy enough anyone can use this without any training or knowledge of other programs needed! It also gives you so many options when creating your own events/meetings as well if there are multiple people attending (such scheduling).
There isn't much but sometimes having more than one person using something at once makes things difficult - especially in regards to updating databases while others work from their computers simultaneously. Also would be nice just have some sort of…
Pros
I like that ACTS gives so many options to keep up our organization and keep things going without having to be in the office all the time and without having to be a certain person to use it
Cons
I don't really have any cons at the time it's all great! I don't really have any cons at the time it's all great! I don't really have any cons at the time
I like that this program allows me to update my own personal information (like phone number or address) without having to contact the church office. It's easy to use! I dislike that it only gives me one month of updates at a time. The way they structure their terms makes it so I have to keep reinstalling. It would be great if there was some way for me to keep all my personal information up to date and not just in a month.
For example, I want to change my phone number but can't do it until next
I like that all of us are able to use one system instead of having multiple systems (and keeping them synced). It's more secure than using email as it helps keep your info from being hacked or stolen in transit when you're not looking at it directly! The setup can be overwhelming since there isn't much guidance out there - but this was also true before we started working here so don't get discouraged if things aren’t clear right away.
Give yourself some time; make sure everything works smoothly
Pros
We have the opportunity to expand our programs to other areas that we work in and we can do so from anywhere
