Buildium Review

PROS: This is a useful platform with many amazing features. It allows communication between users in the company, making monitoring and confirming regular tasks easier. It allows efficient access to files we need as well.

CONS: This app doesn’t offer free or trial versions. Also, it has some problems when uploading files, especially those with large size. We have to upload them in parts. This is too time-consuming for us.

PROS: This is the best property management platform I’ve found. It has a convenient and efficient UI, plus its automated features are cool.

CONS: This doesn’t allow searching through application numbers. Other than that, I find this app great.

PROS: This is an easy to use and dependable platform that offers great customization features. It has a great tenant interface that is useful for me as a property manager and as a tenant. Its user support is reliable and responds immediately as well.

CONS: It has some problems regarding payments through credit cards. This has negatively impacted our company name.

PROS: Buildium is a fantastic property management app with an efficient payment system. It handles different modes of payments, and it verifies credits easily. It’s convenient to compute late payments and budget through Buildium too. Moreover, managing tax and maintenance costs is easier with the platform.

CONS: The platform features a limited mode of communication to clients, which simply circles on traditional emails and phone calls. It’s even difficult to talk with board members because of such a problem. And because it doesn’t integrate with financial apps well, we have some problems in handling financial documents. The rate of $45 each month seems high considering these disadvantages.

PROS: It features great payment and tax management system, meaning the app allows us to track payments of tenants easily. It helps in managing vacancies, late payments, taxes, and even insurance among other vital details. Plus, it has great features for classifying tenants and some efficient features for communicating with them.

CONS: First, the app doesn’t come with free or trial deals. It has some problematic limitations in sharing files with clients too; although, a professional using the platform can solve it. Moreover, it lacks some essential controls for property management. It should come with better website managing features for brokers too.

PROS: This platform makes tracking rentals and vacancies easier, which helps in regular reviewing of online listing. It also has efficient portfolio management features. Moreover, the platform allows easy handling of late payment surcharges and taxes such as income tax. It’s easy to add properties to manage using this platform too, and it’s possible to categorize them by location, owner, or name.

CONS: This app is generally great. But it has some problems when making invoices. This often happens especially when handling credit checks from banks.

PROS: This platform has great support staff. Once you need help, an actual person will answer your call. They don’t use bots for user support.

CONS: It’s difficult to use at first, but it becomes easy when you already have a good grasp over the app. Our old employees took a week to learn using the platform, whereas new ones only took about a day. This is probably because new employees already have older workers as guides.

PROS: The platform has an automated and logical interface with tons of useful features. For example, the portfolios are properly arranged like how they should be: landlord, portfolio, property, units, contracts or leases, and tenants in proper order. This helps us achieve efficient and quick implementation, convenient improvements as well as full productivity. The platform is backed by a reliable team of support staff too, and it regularly receives improvements depending on user demands. Thus, we can’t find any reason to use other alternatives today.

CONS: It’s filled with great features, but it cannot be linked with APIs or SaaS other than their partner platforms. For example, I cannot import contacts, tasks, and other essential data from different platforms, which is quite inconvenient for our workflow. This results in noticeable limitations for users who also use other apps.

PROS: The platform conveniently caters to online payments from our tenants. This greatly reduces the need to use separate accounting tools. As a result, it drastically decreases the time we spend on such processes.

CONS: This platform helps us manage rental payments and maintenance tasks easily. And we haven’t encountered any problems or disadvantages while using it in our company.

PROS: This platform has all the needed features to manage and maintain property businesses. These features include payment and leasing processes, bank loan checking, as well as keeping proper insurance details among others. And it’s easy to keep copies of databases from this platform to external hard drives or other cloud storage as well.

CONS: It has some problems with the interface. For instance, parts of its UI aren’t properly arranged when displayed on the screen. It doesn’t display enough info as well, such as the rental listing where users need to click to see more details. The app needs improvements in presenting the information.

PROS: It has features that are helpful for record-keeping purposes, such as documentation of date and time of communication lines and updates. It also has efficient channels for clients to access some info and get in touch with our company easily. In addition, communicating with other company members and organizing meetings are easier too.

CONS: The platform cannot handle a large file, so we need to separate them into multiple parts. Also, we need to use communication lines through our emails if we want to update the platform. These problems cause some hassles in our team.

PROS: It has simple layout and design, it offers great set of features. It has so many reports so whenever an owner requests something you can always accommodate any request. You can easily understand Ledgers for the employees and tenants. The app process is easy to use.

CONS: There are some features that I want to use but they cost some money. It would be great if the features were included into monthly payment/price. Also, I don’t like that when I open a photo or pdf file it downloads to my Pc, it would be better if it can be open inside the window, or to see all the pictures together instead of downloading them all.

PROS: I have switched from Buildium to Appfolio and then again to Buildium. It is intuitive and easy to use software. The software is constantly updated and it has lot of new features. The feature I like most is the easinessof sending reports to the owners and paying them for the work.

CONS: It would be really helpful if there is an option to customize fields in a report instead of using those stock reports. It would be nice if the background checks have rental history.

PROS: Buildium is one of the easiest tool when it comes to property management software. The setup of a new property and procuring tenants is easy to do. It offers advertising, so we can better develop from a few properties to almost 50.

CONS: What I don’t like is how accounts got credited when the tenant pays the rent. For e.g. I work for someone and we make partial payments every month because he needs to pay more of a security deposit. The fact that money is owed, if it is represented as a negative balance then the software automatically pays accounts that have the negatives. But thankfully, this one can be changed.
