Review for Smartwebs
Overall, its an amazing and easy to use software.
PROSI truly enjoy how accessible this software is in any one of our wants and needs in accessing our community.
CONSI guess I would say how small the note sections are and how the date is automatically applied when placing a hold until it is fully sent through, if I am one day off I won't know until after.
Reason for choosing Smartwebs
Smartwebs just offer more when we are on the field and everything is more simple and able to understand.

See prior comment
PROSI like that the homeowner can submit their ARC themselves. It cuts down on handling paper. It is not a back product and over time I am sure it will get better as you get the kinks out.
CONSThe processing fee that is charged to homeowners as soon as the ARC is submitted and they do not have the option to pull that ARC back without paying the fee. Also some elderly that do not use computers cannot submit the ARC themselves. We have to chase down board members to sign in and review/approve or deny an ARC. The training for use is not always great and the trainers sometime get angry with us that need to learn.

SmartWebs is a smart move for your HOA
I wound recommend SW to any HOA management team. I would remind them that “garbage in , garbage out “ when working with the implementation team to make sure they had clean data to import as this is critical to their success with SW. I wound also recommend they have someone staff as a super user. This person should be the expert in all things SW. This would be beneficial to their daily operation
PROSThe best feature of this software is not something written in the software but rather it’s the customer service provided by the SW employees. We had yearly face to face meetings with the president of the company and could contact anyone at the office when ever we had an issue. We have the direct phone numbers of several senior level people and can contact them when needed. I have a background in software testing , from a previous job , so when I found some items that needed enhancements , I was able to work with the developers to create new items and processes within the software.
CONSIt’s my belief that the software was not created for large scale HOAs. We have an enormous amount if data snd when running reports the software would not be able to accommodate the output. The system wound either crash or it wound just spin and spin and never give any results. I would have to contact SW Snd have someone there run my reports. This was very frustrating and time consuming
Reasons for switching to Smartwebs
We needed a more robust database that had features to allow us to streamline our covenants operations.

Smartwebs in a Nut Shell
Adding Smartwebs to our business software moved our office out of the dark ages into an almost paperless environment. With files being easily accessed with a few clicks, we are able to decrease our response time.
PROSCompliance & Arc are user friendly applications. The mobile version allows property managers to record and send violations in little time with a simple follow up process. The ARC software cuts application processing time in half, which allows staff to focus on other projects. We have had positive feedback from committee members.
CONSNew homes added after initial set up are not placed on the map properly. The only way to fix this is manually move the home. When communities of 100+ are being added, this can be cumbersome. The email function is great, but if two emails are in the system separated by a ";", the system does not recognize them as separate emails. You are unable to "Queue" letters in ARC like you are in the violations portion of Smartwebs. If your committee requires approval of letters before they are sent out, this lack of function requires you to repeat the process twice before the letters are sent.

My Smartwebs Experience
My overall experience with Smartwebs has been good. They are responsive when we have questions and are helpful in making changes if needed.
PROSI appreciate how easy it is to navigate through the system. I can move from the violation section to look up an architectural for a home in one click. I also like that you can see any home with an open violation from the main screen.
CONSThe one feature I would like to see that isn't available is for architectural submittals . When requesting “more information” on an architectural submittal this is automatically placing the request on hold. This can’t happen as that stops the clock and we need to ensure that the calendar clock continues.
Reason for choosing Smartwebs
We felt Smartwebs offered the best product for what we were looking for.
Reasons for switching to Smartwebs
We made the switch as Smartwebs allows for time-stamped pictures to be added to the compliance letters.

Smartwebs User and Admin
As a user, my experience has been mostly great. My only complaint is the UI for work orders and the lack of advance notice on software changes. Smartwebs would be better served by notifying users up front of upcoming changes instead of after the fact via a pop up upon login. As a Smartwebs global administrator for my company, my experience has been neutral at best. Smartwebs could greatly benefit from better communication to the global admins, and while the response time on basic issues with Support has greatly improved, the response time on more involved issues has suffered and we find ourselves repeatedly following up on requests to get an answer.
PROSThe ability to take photos and add them to compliance letters is a must and Smartwebs does this well. The ARC module is a game changer in being able to track architectural requests and send the committee automated reminders without having to involve the manager.
CONSThe work orders module is clunky at best. It is hard to navigate and not user friendly.

Hidden Hills Review of SmartWebs
Overall, my experience has been favorable. In my opinion, the product could stand a little tweaking, but generally
PROSI appreciate the ability to integrate violation photos with the violation text in the field. Also, being able to access archival information, which in our case, includes photos, letters and voting information is a positive.
CONSMy lease favorite function is the letter writing. I would like to see the ability to be more flexible in the writing of standard letters. Also, our community is composed of rather large homes (10,000 + sq. ft.). The program is limited to uploading no more than 12 MB while I am seeing more and more sets of plans that are 17-25MB. Expanding this ability would really be helpful.

Although I did not make the decision, I believe we simply outgrew the capabilities of PC Sentry

You are ALWAYS Supported
The experience has been wonderful, as we add more associations, they have been there to help us along the way!
PROSThe thing I value the most is the constant support from the SmartWebs team, whether it is Operator error (which most of the time it is lol) or a software issue (they are ALWAYS open to feedback to make their software better) there is always someone there to support the process.
CONSThe only thing is that there is so much functionality, it takes a moment to wrap my head around all of it, but like I said, there is always someone to help us through it all. We had weekly meetings until we were all set and comfy using the software on our own!

Best all around software in the industry
Having one platform for everything an HOA or management company needs just makes the managers and integrations job easier all around. Customer service and the higher up execs are all pleasant to work with and listen to suggestions or criticism should it arise.
PROSSmartWebs is first and foremost very user friendly. Features work seamlessly, set up and integration is extremely easy, and if something goes wrong customer support responds very quickly.
CONSAs far as existing features, I don't believe there are any cons. We work with SW all the time to try and implement new features or give suggestions for improvements, but it's overall a very pleasant experience.

Smartwebs HOA Management Use
Overall, Smartwebs has been a great software program. It is incredibly user friendly for someone that is moderately tech savvy, however, we do have several users that complain that it can be difficult to navigate (I think that's directed more towards users that aren't very tech savvy). I appreciate the features that the software offers, but the biggest issue that we have is issues with syncing with our accounting software to make sure the most accurate and up to date information is being used.
PROSIt is incredibly user friendly and offers many different features
CONSSometimes the HTML or coding in the letters can be difficult to navigate or understand if not familiar with this type of coding.

Review of Smartwebs
The overall experience with Smartwebs has been good.
PROSIn my opinion the system is user friendly and the information you need is readily available to you.
CONSThe system drops off ARC history after a six month period which makes it challenging when you are performing property inspections especially if you are new employee to a company. This may cause residents in the community to receive letters for items that have been previously approve but were not available to view when the inspection was performed.

I'm super excited about this product and its features. I'm looking forward to using it more with my daily tasks.
PROSThe features that seem most impactful for me is the ability for several users to access it to process a task as well as the reporting. I'm still learning more about this program, but these features make my job much easier. The integration is a process, but I believe it's worth it in the longrun.

Easy, cost-worthy and efficient!
Before SmartWebs, our company used a spreadsheet to keep up with compliance. As we continued to bring in more doors, the need for a simpler and more effective way to keep up with violations was necessary. SmartWebs allowed for us to send multiple violations while on property. Integration was seamless as it merges with our software, VMS. And we have multiple communities who benefit from it.
PROSEasy to find a home address either by typing or viewing on the map Easy to find open violations and view notes while in the field Quick and effortless to send compliance reports to the Board/committee Architectural process is seamless Great to have all notes and backup info in one, easy to search location
CONSThere is nothing that I do not like about SmartWebs to be quite frank. The system is constantly improving and we're happy with the product.
