I used ACS in my previous job as a Finance Manager for a church
Avantages
I really liked the ease of use and the features that ACS offered for church and school management. Also, ACS's customer service and development teams were incredible.
Inconvénients
At times, the wait time for customer service was rather lengthy, especially around peak seasons like in February and March near tax time.

Easy to navigate and user friendly
Very positive experience using ACS Softwares.
Avantages
The financial management is the easiest and most important thing that I access. Within a business Human Resources and Payroll Specialists can easily track income for the Church as well as the Academy and all expenses.
Inconvénients
Although I do not pay the premiums, The Church does I feel like the cost of monthly subscriptions is expensive. But I do realize all the different things that ACS technologies offers.

Not Easy or Quick to Use
The old ACS system is just much too dated and expensive for current usage. ACS does have a new product called Realm that is supposed to be much easier and more flexible to use. I have looked at some of the demos for Realm and it does look like a vast improvement. If a church were to consider using ACS, I would encourage them to either specifically look at ACS' Realm product or go with another vendor entirely.
Avantages
The best aspect of ACS is that it can hold and track a massive amount of diverse data. You can track all of the things you would expect in a database like names, contact info, birthdates, etc. As a church, you can track the first time someone attended, when they got baptized, and other random bits of info you may want to keep.
Inconvénients
The traditional ACS system is incredibly difficult and cumbersome to use. Its computer app interface looks like it was made 20 years ago; it is not aesthetically pleasing. It requires hours and hours of training to learn how to use (they hold training sessions at different locations throughout the year and have various online helps). Running what you would think would be simple reports is not easy (I have had to pull together updated reports that have members names and addresses to do mailings. I have had to call ACS to have them walk me through how to do such reports as doing so is in no way intuitive. Also, using the computer app program to login to ACS takes several minutes to log into, which can be frustrating if all you are trying to do is look up a phone number (they do have a webbased platform where you can log in, but its function is not as robust in what it can do as the computer-based app, which as I said is slow and cumbersome).

It's reliable yet dated church management software
We have been ACS users for probably close to 10 years and it works, it does work. However, we are in the process of switching to The Rock and, although it's much more powerful, The Rock also requires a greater size management team with technical programming proficiencies. When choosing your management software, you'll pay for it one way or another. In my opinion, ACS is a great solution for small to medium size churches...say up to 2000 people.
Avantages
ACS is a fairly reliable and robust church management software useful for, among other things, managing your general ledger, giving, kids check-in, and people database. If you're a musician, I could tell you that it's like a Shure SM58 vocal microphone...you can drop it 100 times and it still works great...but other mics sound better...and may cost more.
Inconvénients
It is very much out of date according to today's standards. It seems to prefer a large amount of bandwidth for our kids checkin machines running ACS for checkin...it technically isn't a ton of data, but ACS really seems to prefer having a big pipe for it, network wise. ACS is fairly limited in who can and should have access to different parts of it. My biggest complain, though, would be that ACS just hasn't kept up with the development side of their platform to match the technology that everyone is used to using in 2019.

Look elsewhere for a ministry database
Avantages
There are several desirable features with this software. A primary one is the high amount of customization. However, this customization is only available to administrators and people with understanding of coding.
Inconvénients
Immensely outdated and not functional. While using this software, I felt I put more work into using the software than actual results it gave. I would steer clear of this software if you're looking for a simple, user-friendly and intuitive experience.

Great at somethings
Like I said in the title ...there are certian things ASC does great...The G.L. is one of those...but out side of that there seem to be several competitors that are now out pacing ASC...Infact we will be moving away from thier people suite in the spring...
Avantages
Great at the general ledger and a ton of flexible reporting
Inconvénients
Ugly U.I. which sounds silly but makes it a lot harder to get the average user to engauge with

Very good tool to manage churches even small
Good application for the administrative management of churches
Avantages
The customer service is very friendly and efficient. The application is quite robust for the administrative management of churches.
Inconvénients
It is not a very intuitive application, which is compensated with the efficient support it has. Also the interface is a bit simple

Avantages
Serves as a decent database for keeping track of members.
Inconvénients
The learning curve was massive and the user interface was not as easy as it could have been. We saved over $4,000.00 a year by switching to Breeze ChMS

Realm Church Management Software
We formerly had a lot of cash and checks coming through the office for camps, studies and events, etc. With online event registration and payment, it cuts down the need for people to come in to register and pay. Also has various report options that go along with these registrations that are very helpful. Whenever we have a problem or question, customer support is very helpful and friendly!
Avantages
Lots of functions from directory, group management, event registration, online payment for events. Every module I've used has been fairly user-friendly. Always upgrading and improving.
Inconvénients
Some days we notice it's "sluggish" (may be an internet issue). We use it every day in our office, but people using it from home often have problems. Doesn't work as well on mobile devices as on computer.

Exploring software for your church - consider ACS.
My experience with ACS has been very good. I started with them when we all had DOS computers and moved up to the windows platform. Now, we are able to have versions of the software on our phone. The system has the capability of being backed up to the cloud and does not need to be kept on your church's server. There is also an alternative for more contemporary churches called "Realm."
Avantages
ACS gives you the total package in church software. It helps you efficiently mange both the "people" side of the job and the "accounting" and numbers side and will allow them to communicate with each other. There are several modules that will allow you to track different aspects of the member or prospect in the life of the church and this system does it very effectively. It has been around for a long time and they have perfected the software.
Inconvénients
Because the software does so many functions and can be tailored to almost any church of any size or situation, it can be a little confusing. Therefore, training is vital. They excel in offering wonderful training through their company and through local trainers.

Documentation lacking, some add-on modules don't mesh well, reporting in Access sorely lacking.
In general, many of the features of your software are frustrating and not intuitive. I was a programmer and it seems your programmers need to spend more time using the product in real world applications. It should be word like in functions like word. Copying and pasting, formatting those types of applications.
Avantages
#1 Pro is that ACS addresses the most important tasks a church is in need of.
Inconvénients
I have found many thing that weren't intuitive. Uploading of photos ok although no way to standardize within the program (cropping sorely needed) and downloading photos isn't intuitive. The modules are limited, all the data in Access needs to transfer into the people suite for reporting purposes. Access pretty useless for reporting purposes. Using the volunteer management is not really practical to use as intended. Although you have made changes where you can transmit data to excel or word. OnDemand stings because you can't save locally in an easy manner. Many times our church has served more or less as your beta testing because we actually try to use all the features and give feedback but we get nothing in return for that. We only do that because it is lacking features or functionality.

Not a good choice...
We made it work for us but it was very hard to make work. We spent a lot of time with their team trying to make it do what we wanted. After a couple of years, we abandoned it.
Avantages
We used ACS for a number of years, not understanding that there were such better alternatives. It came with reccomendations that it was the choice of some larger churches we knew.
Inconvénients
It is archaic. The user interface is hard to read and looks like something from the dark ages.

As Great as You Can Make It
This software is amazing one-stop shop for database, scheduling, volunteer, financial, and communication software.
Avantages
My title may be odd but it describes this software. This software is very powerful and its capabilities are far greater than any church I have ever worked at has taken advantage of. It is marvelous in it's simplicity but also the sky is the limit with regards to it's complexity in it's ability to create reports, schedule volunteers, and communicate with teams.
Inconvénients
It is a very steep learning curve. Although the customer service is excellent, but it is important to remember that the learning curve is high if you have a transition in staff (give them time to learn and use the tutorials.)

Solid Church Software
We use ACS to keep track of our members. To track groups and to allow easy communication through email or mass mailings.
Avantages
The attendance module has allowed us to automate a process that used to take many man hours. It has also improved our ability to keep in touch with our members.
Inconvénients
The reporting feature of the software is highly customizable which is great for it's ability to enable you pull information exactly how you need it, but it makes it's user friendliness a bit lacking.

It does everything
ACS is dependable, strong and has always delivered. They have been in the game for awhile and show no signs of slowing down.
Avantages
ACS does everything we need in church management software! Aside from service planning it does EVERYTHING needed!
Inconvénients
I would love to see ACS step into the service planning side of things too and truly become an "all in one" stop shop! Interaction with CCLI, ect...
The software does take a bit to get used to, it could be more user friendly.

Outdated
Avantages
ACS was powerful and stable. It's accounting software was also a huge perk.
Inconvénients
The company started focusing on other products and this one got left in the dust. New features were non-existant. The user interface was clunky and reminiscent of Windos 95. Most of our staff were too intimidated to use it, so they made up their own solutions. This led to so many problems.

ACS User For Over 20 years--Using 10.0 Now
Our church is medium sized. We love the Flex Contribution Forms and it's layout. Customer service is spot-on. I agree with all other users who have reviewed. Ease of use, love the People and Financial Modules with its reports which we own. Don't know much about REALM but I think we would be interested. What would seal the deal is the reporting for my Boards and administrators.
Avantages
Ease of use--the reporting is awesome.
Inconvénients
Could look more pleasing to the eye like most of the programs today. But it gets the job done. I've seen the progression over the twenty years I have used ACS.

Grateful!
A very good product. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a flexible system.
Avantages
As a small non-profit, we were looking for software to help streamline our data collection and reporting; one which focuses on client management and tracking. When we were introduced to ACS, they were a God-send. It was a flexible system that provided numerous options. We were able to manage our client intake much more easily than in the past. Overall, we found them to be a great fit for our organization.
Inconvénients
Once you understand the main parts, the system works well, however, more integration is needed. Usually, the help-desk representative was very prompt with their answers to questions. There were so many features that we didn't get to learn them all.

ACS is an okay program I feel it is very outdated and needs some major updated to be compatible...
Avantages
Navigation with this software is quite easy to use, I enjoy the ability to search for my contacts easily, but once again it is slow and outdated and could definitely use a face lift.
Inconvénients
As stated before in my previous comments above, ACS needs to be updated to reflect more modern graphics, and accessibility. I think it would be wonderful to have an app that links to your phone.

Avantages
Although we no longer use ACS, it was a great church software for us. It held all the information we needed, such as financial, contributions, and church member information. Great customer service and mostly user friendly.

We Moved On from ACS
ACS was great in its time but newer products like Planning Center or ACS's own Realm are much better for the modern church.
Avantages
ACS was one of the earlier full-featured church database management systems. Its original iteration was groundbreaking.
Inconvénients
ACS struggled to keep up with the changing digital landscape and was too slow to implement online features, cross-platform compatibility, and the like. As a result, the software is clunky and not particularly user-friendly.
