I like the ability to pay my rent and any others bills/fees through the resident portal without having to go into my local apartment office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far, I do not see any downsides to the application. Usually if there is an issue with billing history it is due to a personal error made by the leasing office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a great idea in theory. It has plenty of options for entering info about your property. It is clear and concise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's like the Yardi Call Center does not read anything that you put into RentCafe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Client Support, Software Features and the ability to do just about everything in keeping up with the footprint of many owned businesses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Call automation app. There is a lack of attention in development on the maintenance side of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
Very easy to use. Easy for residents to use as well. Can do everything I need to succeed in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If someone has used rentcafe at a different property, they can't use the same email and create profile for my property. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I love the usability and transference of user data from Yardi systems to rentcafe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
