Mixed feelings - Arena added functionality we didn’t have previously (because we didn’t have a ChMS), but being a fresh new install of a product from such a large company that has had such a long time to develop, it feels old, sluggish, and under-supported. Each thing we roll out in Arena has “gochas” that require workarounds.
I don’t think it would take much to turn the boat around for developer churches, but it would require a level of engagement with customers that Shelby Systems and Ministry Brands hasn’t appeared to value much in the past (Alex N. is an exception to this).
Still moving forward with Arena hoping to make it into the system we were told it was when we purchased it, but I personally love what I’ve seen of Ministry Platform. Their lawn is looking pretty green from here.
