(Original )Information
What do you like best about Yardi RENTCafe?

I used Yardi when I was new to the Property Management Field a few Years ago. I was just dipping my toes in the industry and at first I found it intimidating. Remembering Residents by first name was hard enough, but learning their renting history and their needs to any upcoming requirements was even harder for me. I was nervous, but when my manager introduced me to Yardi everything became a whole lot easier. From their payment schedules to their Maintenance Requests , to even notes that me and the staff had to record, my job became a lot more rewarding because I got to know the residence better and it helped me upkeep with any tasks that they needed done. I really enjoyed logging into Yardi on a daily basis for their needs and my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yardi RENTCafe?

I did not really dislike much about the program itself, more so the speed of the loading screen when having to do more then one task at a time. I am not sure if it was the program itself or my internet, we never really got around to determining which one it was. I did still speak to my manager occasionally, after quitting, and they were still implementing Yardi into their day to day tasks and she still complains of how slow it could be some times. That was our only concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yardi RENTCafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

What problems did I resolve? As I mentioned before, it became a lot easier to get to know all 120 Residence as well as the staff that was on board a lot easier. It was easier to answer questions that they may have had since Yardi contains tons of information on their History and payment schedules. We clocked in through Yardi, which was never an issue for me, we paid rent through Yardi, which was super simple to my surprise. To summarize, Yardi made us work at a faster pace, and educated us on our Residence more so then any other programs I've worked with since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yardi RENTCafe?

Yardi RENTcafe has been quite an easy transition from Yardi 7. It has all the reports, prospect queue’s, and tools on the dashboard for easy access. There are some kinks that were working through but it may vary depending on your management company guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yardi RENTCafe?

The prospect queue’s can be repetitive but our company has worked with Yardi helpdesk to correct these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yardi RENTCafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working with the helpdesk team to improve the queue management, integration between RENTCafe and outsources such as SafeRent and eLeasing Desk so that information can be accurate and updated in real time. It beneficial for our company because we are able to log in one place to find information for resident and prospect immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Yardi RENTCafe?

The dashboard is a really good all in one system. It provides good access to the necessary areas from a property management standpoint.

Easy to navigate on all levels of access and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yardi RENTCafe?

Limited customization and variation on website templates are challenging when you are wanting to stick out from other properties.

Integrations and API access is extremely expensive for 3rd party companies so it limits who we can work with from a 3rd party side.

Needs more tracking points throughout the website and understanding where residents are getting held up during their apartment research would be critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Yardi RENTCafe:

Ensure that it works for all your systems and be strategic about how you roll out to work out any bugs in waves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Yardi RENTCafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

I love the usability and transference of user data from Yardi systems to rentcafe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yardi RENTCafe?

I hold a great disdain for the changes made to the email management software. It is my number one use for rentcafe and the system is horrible to use, nothing saves, and it is navigationally a wreck. What saddens me more is that though there are so many problem with the system it is no longer in beta mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
