ParishSOFT vs. Realm

The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events. This would not fit a for profit business very well.

In my current project, I am saving the full model into the Realm Database. it takes very little time to integrate into our existing project. So it helps us to save a lot of time and easy to fetch data and CRUD operation with any type of data. and according to our need, we can modify it as well.

• Tracking attendance
• Running reports, both financial and membership-related
• Nursery check-in

• As it has all type of necessary feature which should have any Data base.
• If we can save full structure in Realm easily then i think it will be good for developer.

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.

We continue to be happy with ParishSOFT and see not need to analyze or fix what is not broken.

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.

• This is not my area (finance), but efficiency increased when we moved from Church Windows to Realm.
• Formatted reports are a huge plus--no need to create a merge document for handouts to be in a usable format.
