Breeze ChMS

Avantages

Very intuitive and easy to use, customer service is extremely helpful and responsive.

Inconvénients

Since the software was developed for use by churches, there are a couple things that aren't pointed quite as directly at nonprofit use, but for donor and donation management, as well as registration, it works great!

Avantages

Breeze has been a fantastic company to work with over the last few years. Any time we have had an issue, they have bent over backwards to see a resolution, even having the coding team go back and fix an issue with an android phone I had. I cannot recommend this company enough!

Inconvénients

If they somehow managed to secure a worship based planning ability, I think we would ditch everyone else.

Avantages

We are loving the Breeze software especially the ease of use for our members. I have been equally impressed with Breeze customer support.

Inconvénients

At this point the quarterly statements and how much editing allowed is limited.

There are a few things I miss from our former church management software.

Avantages

Easy to use and great value for the money! Has great features.

Inconvénients

I do not have any dislikes with Breeze. Eash year they have gotten better and better.

Avantages

Our church was beginning to grow and we needed a church management system that would help us stay small relationally. Breeze has been just that tool. It has helped us with our communication - both from our leadership to our members and from our members to one another. We were easily able to integrate Mailchimp (our weekly communication tool) with Breeze. The online / mobile directory has been a favorite for our members. We were also able to easily integrate online giving for the first time through Breeze. The system is both user-friendly for our staff and our members to use.

Inconvénients

Breeze has done a really great job at listening to its customers. One of the items I would have placed under this category is actually in the process of being remedied because Breeze is listening to its users. They are coming our with a service planning feature later this year that will be really helpful.

Pourquoi passer à Breeze ChMS

Avantages

I am so grateful that we signed up with Breeze four years ago. It has made my job and the jobs of my coworkers so much easier. They actually use Breeze and they did NOT use our former database. Breeze helps you do ministry better. The product is user friendly and the customer service is excellent!

Inconvénients

I can't say one thing that I do not link about Breeze.

Avantages

Breeze is a pretty fleshed out software great for smaller churches. They are continuing to add new features and the support listens to the customer.

Inconvénients

Events are still getting fine tuned. Worship stand app is promised but yet to be released.

Avantages

The breeze implementation team is the best they made everything very easy to set up and there’s tutorial videos out there

Inconvénients

The high cost. And having to teach people to use it as well as myself

Avantages

They transferred all our data over. It is much cheaper than our old software and online giving platform. It is so easy to use compared to our old system. There technical support has helped me whenever I couldn't figure things out on my own.

Inconvénients

There is so little wrong with it that all I can think of is that the pictures from our directory didn't come over with the data.

Avantages

Giving menu helps us to track records of all the donations

Inconvénients

Breeze SMS doesn’t work and we are unable to enroll members in Canada.

How can you please help?

Avantages

THE PROGRAM IS VERY USER FRIENDLY AND SELF EXPLANITORY. AND I LOVE THE FORMAT OF THE YEAREND STATEMENTS FOR MEMBER DONATIONS.

Inconvénients

IT IS NOT FLEXABLE ENOUGH TO ROUGHLY FORMAT AND SET UP YOUR OWN REPORT WITH SPECIFIC INFORMTION

Avantages

It is a BREEZE to use! Administration is easy and event management is easy with online forms...etc.

Inconvénients

Customer Service can sometimes be quite slow.

Avantages

The membership information feature is excellent and can be customized. The attendance feature is also excellent, especially when using barcode tracking for in-person attendance and for remote attendance we use barcodes instead of typing in each person's name. Makes it very simple to keep track of attendance. Reporting and Statistical information is phenomenal. I can run reports on specific groups and have the reports in minutes.

Inconvénients

There have been some changes to the dashboard page and where to make selections for accessing information. For example, it used to be one click to get to the events calendar (which I used frequently), but now I have to use a drop down menu to access the events calendar. It seems like a minor thing but is somewhat annoying to me because I use it so often.

Avantages

We use Breeze for nearly everything. It's great to have one robust system to help manage our operations, income, communications, and member management.

Inconvénients

More options to control online giving -Wish we turn off credit cards and use ACH only and/or enable donor covered fees for text-to-give just as we can on online giving.

Avantages

It helps me track and organize all data needed like event organizing, monitoring of giving online and productivity attendance.

Inconvénients

Never encountered an issue using this tool.

Avantages

The thing that I really like about is being able to track everything in the system.

Inconvénients

The thing that I really least like about Breeze is its the font and placement of buttons

Avantages

The features that are most helpful for us in providing religious travel are the easy to use data management system and the low cost online payment portal.

Inconvénients

I am unaware of any deficiencies. The Breeze ChMS has more tools than we need/use.

Avantages

Breeze feels intuitive, is easy to use and has great resources online for when you have a question and need some additional assistance!

Inconvénients

Don't have any glaring cons yet; excited to see what comes next from this company!

Avantages

Breeze makes it easy to communicate info about cancellations or special activities, or even deaths, funeral arrangements or special needs.

Inconvénients

It would be better if Breeze could easily generate an online church directory and if Breeze offered additional sorting/reporting capabilities. Breeze is weighted toward making online giving easy (and it does) but could pay some additional attention to the other information management needs of churches.

Avantages

Breeze has been a great addition to our church office. Our communication has improved, people feel more connected to one another, and it has been a pretty easy transition to the software. We still do not have everyone connected, but those that are, are happy.

Inconvénients

One of the things that we would like to utilize within Breeze is the ability to know when someone has missed more than two weeks of morning services. I know the feature exists, and we thought we had it set up correctly, but it doesn't seem to generate reports when we expected.

Avantages

Being able to keep all the information on our members and attendees has been so helpful. And having this integrated with keeping track of offerings for tax receipting purposes has been awesome. Previously we would have the member information, and the offering record keeper would have theirs - so much duplication.

Inconvénients

With changing ownership, I think, we lost the ability to send out broadcast texts in Canada. That has really been hard. Some people prefer to receive texts instead of emails. Hope this will resolve soon.

Avantages

Easy to use, easy app for volunteers, attendance reports sent weekly, and really good tips relating to our business

Inconvénients

We haven't had a situation that we didn't like

Avantages

Easy to use and love the integration features (tracking members, event attendance & financial giving).

Inconvénients

Limited reporting and no expense tracking

Avantages

Ease of operation, great functions, texting, emailing. Really enjoying the value of this system compared with our previous system. Breeze is very user friendly and I greatly appreciate that. integration was relatively uneventful.

Inconvénients

We really wish after meetings we have scheduled, that a message would go out to the leader of the group for attendance, meeting notes, & prayer requests. We previously had a needs so the groups could send out the needs they had for their night of group.

Avantages

Breeze makes it super easy to process, record, and manage contributions. The platform is also easy to use for communication, which is important for a congregation with seasoned members! Their people are amazing - gifted, smart, and motivated to serve. If there's a problem, they WILL find a solution - even allowing us to make suggestion for future features.

Inconvénients

There are some features they are still working on that would be nice down the road - but they are working on it so I can't say I'm disappointed :)
