CDM+

Pros: We really couldn't find anything good. All services were so hard to figure out.

Cons: It is not user friendly at all. They offer to teach you but want you to sign up for 4 one hour soon classes. You have to do the zoom calls or you will never figure anything out.

Pros: We never used software for our church accounting. We researched many different avenues until deciding on CDM. The overall training and support to teach their software to a dummy was absolutely amazing. I was left with knowledge to run our church accounting system on a program that leaves no room for errors. When in doubt or when hit with something I was clueless about all I had to do was make a call and help was there within hours of the call. I am so glad we found CDM!

Cons: Reports took me longer to get ahold of. Some still seem more difficult to maneuver but I am learning more each time.

Pros: There are so many facets to this software that I haven't even begun to use them all. CDM+ enables you to track attendance, contributions, set up forms for events, create online giving, run financial report... It is very easy to use and the report options are endless.

Cons: I have not found any reason to dislike this software. I have been using it for over 20 years and they continually update to stay current.

Pros: Accounting reports are easy to generate.

Cons: I wish you could email/not just print, individual paystubs to the employees at the time of completing payroll.

Pros: CDM+ is a powerful program that was invaluable to our church. Loaded with features, we used it on a regular basis.

Cons: CDM+ was difficult to use, not a user-friendly interface and was hard to learn. I distinctly recall numerous issues with getting the printer to work for the children's ministry check-in system.

Pros: It just works. I know that's a simple statement but when you're dealing with enterprise software I can't think of a better statement.

Cons: It could be more customizable, and it could consolidate information a little easier.

Pros: This was very intuitive and easy to navigate. Whenever I did have issues, I was able to get help quickly and easily.

Cons: Sometimes it lagged, but this was possibly caused by a hardware issue.

Pros: I think what I like most is the variety that the software is capable of doing. All the way from accounting to keep everything well organized to payroll.

Cons: I mostly wanted to leave a review to recommend that I think there should be a "Multi-Change" feature. Currently I have to go back and fix the general fund account where I log in contrubutions. It is quite timely because I have to click change for each indiviual contrubition and wait for it to load for each person. If I could go in and change each one and then save, I believe it would save a lot of time.

Pros: My favorite thing about CDM+ are the people behind it! Support is knowledgeable and wonderful. CDM+ is user friendly and capable to holding a lot of information we need to have for our church. We like when reports or information are requested by other staff members, and we are able to easily pull that information from CDM+

Cons: There are a lot of small things that could make this software so much better! I know a new version is coming out in the Fall of 2019 and I am very excited for the changes that have been announced. I think the program needs a much more updated look.

Pros: This is by far one of the easiest programs to use. Its user friendly. And helps you keep track of your church income. I highly recommend it

Cons: I haven't found anything that i don't like about this software.

Pros: This does just about everything you would need it to do. There are not many functions I would want or need that CDM+ cannot accomplish. Pretty much a one-stop shop for this sort of software which is nice, and rare. +1 for a solid mobile app as well. The free trial is nice bonus as well.

Cons: Because it is such a massive program with so much functionality it can be overwhelming to get started. That said, they have tons of resources to help you along the way. My only other critique is the load time on the apps but that is also understandable when you take the amount of data into consideration.

Pros: So many options and abilities are available through CDM. I love being able to find information with one simple click.

Cons: I can't think of anything at the moment. The only thing I can think of would be the cost for smaller churches.

Pros: IT is server based and it integrates membership data with accounting data - instead of needing to maintain two databases - you can maintain one.

Cons: Some functions are not self evident, and some bugs need to worked out on the lesser used report features.

Pros: Payroll and Taxes Accounting Data base - Ease of finding addresses etc Treasurers and Ministers Reports

Cons: Notices- Hard to set up and import letters and pieces of data Emailing membership Can not think of anything else

Pros: I really like how easy the software is to understand. There is a place for every detail about your congregation so that there is no need for any other program. CDM+ has it all.

Cons: Having two seperate places for visitors and members. I would like to have them all located in one spot with a marker that indicates if they are a member or a visitor.

Pros: The way it coordinates everything together when you update an address in one module, it is updated everywhere. The wide variety of reports that are available are phenomenal. The customer service and help CDM+ staff provides is FANTASTIC.

Cons: Some of the tasks I only do one or two times a year are a bit confusing however, I am not formally trained in financial record keeping, so some of the confusion is from my lack of skills.

Pros: I love how helpful the support team members are, as well as the many training opportunities available!

Cons: Like any software, there is a learning curve at first. It still wasn't hard to figure out compared to some others that I have used!

Pros: A variety of modules allow you to link information about individuals and families including their attendance, giving, and groups with which they are associated. A mobile version of the software provides access to much of the data on mobile phones. Suran Systems continually improves and upgrades the software adding new features. Their support team is responsive, attentive, and cordial.

Cons: Not all pieces of the software are immediately intuitive, such as learning how to run reports that combine different data. So there is some learning curve. However, Suran provides regular training webinars and other helps online and their annual users conference is excellent.

Pros: Again, it is very user friendly. I am a seasoned, but not sophisticated user. I am so grateful for their support system. Sometimes I use it a lot! We have used CDM+ for nearly 20 years. At times, people on "committees" have suggested other software. I don't know if I am being loyal or stubborn, but as far as I am concerned, the "system" isn't broken, so there is nothing to fix. I have convinced us to stay with CDM+!!! I like the softward, I like the programs.

Cons: Sometimes, we have difficulty upgrading. Not sure if the problem is with CDM/Suran, or our computer system. I don't dislike it at all, because I always call them for help when it is time to upgrade! They always deliver. We have used CDM+ for nearly 20 years

Pros: What's not to like, covers every aspect you can possibly expect, the support end is the greatest ever. I have called support many times, their response is punctual, helps me through whatever the issue is with an upbeat attitude, never makes you feel in-adequate. This software offers everything needed for a church.

Cons: With an update, it takes a little working with to get use too, as with any thing. I don't care for the set up in Roommate.

Pros: Ease of operation. Designed specifically for church. Familiar system for different groups. Reports are simple to do.

Cons: Learning curve a bit difficult, but I am seventy which may explain much. Great help line at no extra cost.

Pros: The software offers help with accounting, payroll, contributions, event organizing, membership and a security check in application that is very affordable. The customer service is excellent and the response time is very good. There is a host of reports to choose from that can be customized to your particular needs.

Cons: It is not as user friendly (intuitive) as I would like, but once you learn a procedure it is easy to use.

Pros: The ease of use once it is setup. The capability to keep everything in one place and a number of things the system organizes for you to have easy access to.

Cons: The original set up.
