great customer service when needing help
CONSPrice is higher than some in the real estate market. Skyslope is becoming a big competitor for way less money.

only my opinion
it works well for what we use it for. accounting and paying agents
PROSpretty simple to learn and use. the support staff if we screw up or forget how to do something is excellent. aka [sensitive content hidden] and others out there.
CONSsometimes when you want a GL report other stuff come with it that you did not ask for. You split pay AP's. Agents can not pay other agent fees from their closings as in a team leader can not pay team member expenses from a closing. agent check stub reports are hard for agents to figure out on their yearly numbers

ReaLedger 2023 Reveiw
It has been very good after I paid for the training. With the price of the support; I think there should be at least one free training included in the price of support.
PROSCustomer service is the best. Beth and Julio know their stuff!
CONSsome of the link don't go where they should but the company is willing to correct the glitch in their updates. The newest support renewal invoice is $1,700-a little pricey.

Constellation1 Accounting Is a Key Management Tool for Our Business
I've worked with this software (in many versions) for 14 years now, and have worked closely with the technical/customer support staff over the years to get help when we ran into problems. The program works well for our needs, and the support staff is knowledgeable and helpful when we need assistance.
PROSI like that Constellation1 Accounting is a full-service accounting software, in which we can manage/process sales transactions to pay commissions, manage Accounts Receivables with our agents, manage Accounts Payable with our vendors, reconcile bank accounts and generate company financial reports for managers and owners. It's great having all of these functions within one program.
CONSThe current version of Constellation1 Accounting works well for our needs. There are occasional bugs/glitches to the program, but software updates seem to be made fairly regularly. It would be great if there were integration options with the paperless file service we use, Paperless Pipeline, to cut down on duplication of data entry work for our staff. The only negative is the turnaround time to get a response to a support ticket, especially if our request occurs in the mid/late afternoon since we're on the west coast.
Reason for choosing Constellation1 Accounting
We have used Constellation1 Accounting (in several previous versions before the current format) for 20 years. We did test out a competitor's product with one of our new start up brokerages several years ago, and while it was significantly less expensive, we found the product less efficient than Consteallation1 and eventually moved that brokerage over to Constellation1 as well.

General review
I like having of all the various accounting phases easily integrated into one system and in real time. After using RealLedger for many years, I found the Constellation1 upgrade so much easier.
CONSCommission statements are not easy to read. They should include the total commission going to Co$ on each closing not just beginning and ending totals. I would like to see a lot more guidance materials for troubleshooting as well as general instructions. Fortunately, the support team is the best!

Accounting Software
Overall a good product. Customer support is excellent except for the fact that they are short on employees to handle the load especially in busy times like year end.
PROSI love the integration between being able to process commissions, bill our agents and create financial statements all in one software.
CONSI believe the product to be very expensive and over the years some features have been removed only to be charged additional fees to add them back.

Windermere has been using this product since the 90's. It has been sold to multiple companies over the years and has evolved greatly. Biggest competitor is LoneWolf.

A non-programmer rates a program
It's been a rocky road to get to where we are, but so far it's the only payroll software that meets our needs. Thanks so much for working with us to get Constellation exactly where we need it :)
PROSOnce I get moving on entries, I can fly through my reports pretty fast. Nothing takes too long to run.
CONSWithout knowing how to implement either of these features:A SCALABLE UI would be fantastic - I have to re-size the screen juuuuuust right to fit a PDF alongside. Without having a 30" monitor, scrolling back and forth in the program window is a massive pain. Also, there are no hot keys to my knowledge. Everything requires a click to enter a window, select, confirm the selection, click OK to remove the pop-up window.

Constellation in Real Estate
This software is so very helpful with analyzing the production of the real estate agents, of which we have over 100.
CONSTrying to get the right information for our financial meetings. Sometimes I search and cannot find the data -- although I am almost certain it is there!
Reason for choosing Constellation1 Accounting
In retrospect it is the people that Constellation has to help us through issues that makes all the difference. Constellation Staff has the knowledge, and they never give up.

Constellation1 Review
Good customer support for our real estate needs.
PROSVery good response time from customer support.
CONSI feel like a couple of features have changed since initial implementation. Sometimes I need tech support to fix things from the back end. I would like to know how to make these fixes myself.
