## Overview

### Key benefits of Rock RMS

All-in-one ministry platform: Rock RMS combines people management, communications, online giving, event registration, and volunteer scheduling in a single system, so staff stop juggling separate tools and disconnected data.&#10;&#10;Native AI Agent: Rock includes the most powerful and native AI Agent in the industry, surfacing insights and automating routine tasks so staff spend less time on data entry and more time with people.&#10;&#10;Built to fit your church, not the other way around: Rock's open architecture and flexible workflows let you configure the system around how your church actually operates, instead of forcing your processes into a rigid template.&#10;&#10;Ownership of your data: Rock RMS is an open source software, meaning you own your Rock instance and the data inside of it.

## Reviews

### "The RockRMS, Becoming the Standard" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *2 November 2018* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Rock RMS is a church management software that we recently began transitioning to from another leading provider. Our big attractions to The Rock were based in it's cost-effectiveness (it's an open sourced platform) and it's power. With knowledgeable programmers, it can be integrated to perform nearly anything your team can think of. It can also integrate with Planning Center Online. In addition, there are many options out there for help getting started with RockRMS if you are lacking the expertise within your local church.
> 
> **Cons**: The length of time it takes to transition from our current church management platform to The Rock. It's understandable why it takes so long but it should be noted that it isn't a quick transition.

### "This product had revolutionized our church management." — 5.0/5

> **David** | *7 November 2017* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's so easy to use. You can create whatever data metrics you choose. I love how I can keep track of our church members and put faces with names.
> 
> **Cons**: You have to really think about what categories you need with the program. There are also several steps to forming groups.
> 
> The organization of member information enables us to minister more effectively to their entire family.

### "Headache" — 1.0/5

> **Carolyn** | *17 October 2018* | Civic & Social Organisation | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seemed easy to use but difficult. Must watch all free
> 
> **Cons**: I never could get it downloaded and I am very techie. I believe you first need someone to host..or host yourself..however it was not easy to install even with their demo install video.

### "COMMUNITY + VISIONq" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *21 November 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The team that supports Rock is incredible, and the people/Churches that use Rock are incredible. The ending result is a momentum that has fast forwarded Rock RMS past most, if not all, of the top applications that have been around for twice as long as Rock has.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing to report here. Rock so far has worked to close the gap on anything that arises as an issue.
> 
> Awesome, the team behind Rock has been incredible and the community via slack has helped me more than I can count and we are still just implementing the tool. &#10;&#10;If you are a developer church or if you are an admin that just needs to get your church organized, Rock has a solution that fits the smallest and largest of churches.

### "Rock on with Rock RMS" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *31 August 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There is nothing held back as far as access to your data.&#10;&#10;The community all works together to support and create add ons as well as core features.  So enhancements are made quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: It was overwhelming at first because it was so massive with its features.  But given time, you can easily jump in and swim like a pro.
> 
> We have been able to have our entire organizations RMS as well as our web page tied together in one application.  So learning it is huge, but the time saved is well worth it.
