Pros We have been with Excellerate for many years and recently integrated to ATOM in 2022. Although I'm usually hesitant when making big changes, the transition was very smooth and it wasn't very difficult to learn the new way of entering and tracking donations. I just completed the year end donor statements for 2022 and it was so quick! Tech support has always been very quick & reliable. Cons The only negative (which is a very small one) is that it takes a little longer and more use of the mouse to enter donation batches.

This means so much to our staff as we strive to be good stewards of our time. We have been pleased with this software for the 12 years we have been using it. Pros The ability to customize reports to our fit our needs. Cons I honestly cannot think of anything I don't like about this software.

Corporate Treasurer Religious Institutions ### "Great Product complimented with Great Support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 1, 2020 Being fairly new to the product, I have had an excellent experience modifying and adding the functionality my application requires. Pros The flexibility in most all areas is very obvious as each entity using the Excellerate product has needs for customization to make it fit more closely to their needs and this product has that ability. Excellerate provides it - in spades. Any request for assistance in operating and customizing the product has been met with immediate and accurate responses. The single best feature is the ability to import membership data from other applications in record time but depends on properly exporting the source data in the format utilized by Excellerate. Cons There was not single except that a knowledge of the SQL language is very helpful. Reasons for choosing Excellerate The myriad of modules that are, and might be, used over time as well as the more than adequate pricing along with the numerous possibilities for modifications, made the selection simple.

Financial Secretary ### "Altho I use this only for posting weekly contributions, I absolutely love this product." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 14, 2018 I spend much less time accounting for the weekly offering. AND I know it is accurate. Our church has an offering counting team so that when I (as the financial secretary) get the offering to post, I already have a balance to use for "check" purposes. Great product!! Pros I am currently using only the Contributions tab and the features included in it. We are a small church that needed a better way to account for weekly offerings that was accurate & basically self-checking. Instead of the 20+ minutes spent in the past posting our weekly offering, I now spend all of 5 minutes posting. And I know everything has been posted accurately and to the correct accounts. Thanks for a great product and for your awesome customer service. Cons I haven't found anything yet that I dislike but I only use the contribution section. So far I haven't found anything that rates as "con." Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Facility Director ### "I have used this in my current role." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 May 11, 2018 Pros This software is a really great data base. You can collect and organize data in an amazing way and communicate efficiently. Cons There is so much that this software can do which will slow it down at times. I totally understand and it's worth the wait. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

BR Bob R. Administrator ### "A great system that is easy to set-up and use with outstanding customer support." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 0.0 0.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 May 15, 2015 Since we have installed the Excellerate system we have reduced the amount of time it takes to count and record our tithes and offerings from 8 - 10 hours to as little as 40 minutes. We continue to find new ways to take advantage of the flexibility and utility of the system. We recently automated our on-line giving to load directly into the Excellerate system saving even more time. The support has been excellent. The Excellerate team will do everything they can to ensure that your needs are met. I reviewed many systems before selecting Excellerate and without a doubt I made the right choice.
