Chose Realm
Realm, from my vantage point, has more ways to engage the community. It allows for planning and scheduling, but has a dashboard which allows the congregation to see ways they can connect and get involved in the community. Having graphics and links available is key for people …
From my experience Realm is fatter than SQLite. Realm has less Query and is easy to understand. even new developers also can use it In his/her project. It has a good document so a new developer can read and understand and apply it to the project. SQLite is old and not so easy …
Before switching to Realm, we used Church Windows. It was outdated and not intuitive. Customer service wasn't great, either--I felt that some of the reps "talked down" to us when we had questions. I hated it. Realm was a significant improvement--updated interface, intuitive, …
I don't remember the names but I evaluated other church donor software and Servant Keeper offered the most bang for your buck. It had amazing funtionality but not a super high price tag.
Realm is a user-friendly, intuitive web-based database manager, great for church membership and financial information. Transitioning was easy--even our 90-year old attendance volunteer made the switch with ease. The customer service staff at Realm is fantastic. As I mentioned before, my one big complaint is the inability to pull a report with children outputted on the same row in excel as their parents.
This software was created for use by churches BUT because you can customize the fields, it has been very effective for other non-profit use. Workshops are geared for church users so I don't usually attend those. It has a LOT of functionality. I am able to import my data from Quickbooks as I utilize that product as well. Since I am not a church and my chart of accounts is pretty complex, I have found it easier to import from Quickbooks rather than the other way around. It is easier for me to control the accounting side of things by doing this way.
There is too much clicking! Could be MUCH more effective if less clicking was required. This is my biggest complaint! It's not a deterrent to purchasing, and it does not affect its functionality, but is an annoyance that could EASILY be fixed.
It can be cumbersome to figure out how to use features but is pretty user friendly.
Our transition to Realm was fantastic. We had a rep do two days of training with staff. She also provided us with a step-by-step plan for our rollout to the congregation. In addition to the fabulous customer service team, the "help" section of the Realm website is useful--it includes written answers and also video tutorials/webinars. The search function in the help section is built effectively.
From my experience Realm is fatter than SQLite. Realm has less Query and is easy to understand. even new developers also can use it In his/her project. It has a good document so a new developer can read and understand and apply it to the project. SQLite is old and not so easy to understand. we need to add a third-party library to easily use SQLite.
