What do you like best about Whale?

I'm a California landlord and I've always been concerned about proper handling and management of security deposits. They are also the only part of my management process that isn't automated or digital. By moving my tenant's deposits to Whale, I'm no longer concerned about the liability, interest and accounting concerns/hassels AND, now when a tenant moves out, all I do is click a few buttons and the move out process is complete. No more snail mailed, hand written checks or issues with incorrect forwarding addresses. I can't imagine going back to the old way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

I haven't found a dislike. My main concern was the onboarding process but the team at Whale was very helpful and created simple processes for efficiently migrating over to their platform and integrating with my existing systems. Very satisified so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?

Whale is streamlining my management process, eliminating inefficencies and providing piece of mind knowing that I'm operating above board when it comes to potential liability issues surrounding security deposits in California. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whale?

Whale is the only product in the space that I have found to provide significant benefits to us, as an operator, and to our residents.

Whale allows us to eliminate much of the manual processes associated with collecting and refunding security deposits.

We onboarded Whale on a rolling basis across the residents at one of our properties - and the residents who were not a part of the 'first batch' of residents onboarding, were clamoring for a Whale account! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whale?

It is rare to have zero issues with a product, but Whale absolutely falls into this category Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whale solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collection, maintenance, and refunding of security deposit funds. Additionally, serves as a great ESG benefit for our residents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
