Moving from Buildium to Entrata or PropertyWare. Any suggestions/advice?

We have used Buildium for the last 2 years and are looking for a more comprehensive solution that does not cost thousands of dollars a month. We currently have 106 units and are acquiring a new complex and will have 250 units by the end of summer. I was sold on Entrata until I read so many negative online reviews. Does anyone have experience with Entrata or Propertyware?

have you checked into appfolio?

We looked at ApFolio but there were a lot of limitations that we did not even have with Buildium with them so we felt it wold be a step backwards.

Do you have any third party vendors that need to connect to your software to pull resident data or import charge amounts, such as a utility billing company?

Skip Property Ware - it really is for single family no matter what they tell you.

Look at ResMan. Very user friendly and not to expensive.

ResMan is really good, works well with third party vendors. Entrata is good that way too.

Hello, Aloft.

We're in the process of switching to Entrata from a well oiled Excel and post-it note paper workflow. So far, Entrata has done nothing to reduce paper or our reliance on our current workflow.

We were and are looking at Buildium (or simply creating our own online database).

I would love to learn about what you don't like about Buildium, talk about the many issues we are having with Entrata, and just generally learn from each others experience.

I don't think there is any great property management software, it's just which works better for each type of business, if any.

Our company handles 200 tenants across five buildings and we will be tripling in the next two years, so we want something that can grow with us.
