Realm vs. Shelby Systems

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.

The three modules we use are well integrated and work together well. The membership module does not communicate with the financial modules if I recall correctly.

• If we can save full structure in Realm easily then i think it will be good for developer.

• Extra key strokes required when searching for account numbers
• Negative adjusting entries not allowed in account payable
• Financial report formatting is not intuitive

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.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Provided us with a means to report financial information to stakeholders
