Blows all other systems that we have used out of the water. ----- ### "At last The Dream Becomes a Reality." — 5.0/5 > **Dr. Porfirio** | *7 January 2017* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: All the important aspects of our organization is in the website and at our fingertips for editing. > > **Cons**: Cannot find a con. > > I had a dream that one day I could have a website that I could manage every ministry in the church and keep track of every church ministry leader and their group members. Finally Grplife have made it possible. The simplicity of this software is unheard of. It is so powerful that it does not succumb to my mistakes. It maintains an homeostasis of the software by default. I am so thrilled that I will make it my endeavor to invite others to be part of this new family of the cibernético world. ----- ### "what if's" — 4.0/5 > **Caitlin** | *15 October 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like most the ability to connect with other church members, registering for events and signing up, and not leaving others out accidentally. > > **Cons**: What I like least about the software is not being able to approve posts or comments, maybe too much freedom in an area that we try so hard to protect and the protection of unity. > > Overall, I love the idea behind this software and all the promotions within it for discipleship, gatherings, prayers, tithing, etc. ----- ### "First Baptist Summerfield's grplife system" — 4.0/5 > **Greg** | *22 February 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The social component and the multiple innovations we have not seen elsewhere. > > **Cons**: This is a work in progress and there are constant changes. However, it is well worth the trouble, the company is showing us constant improvement of their product. > > The grplife system is a radical departure from the software we have used in the past for our church's website. It incorporates an advanced social component for our membership that gives us much more from our web site. The cost is just slightly more than our old, greatly limited system. The grplife system is constantly improving and adding new inovations\! ----- ### "Waited WAY TOO LONG\!" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *7 January 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: App. Smooth Transition > > We have been talking with GRPLIFE for awhile. We were leery like most from making a transition. We Waited WAY TOO LONG\! Should have done it a year ago. No Regrets. NEVER LOOK BACK. More Value, More Connectivity, and Way more Ministry options.
