Visual Lease
Overall, A+ experience.
Pros
Visual Lease makes Lease and Asset Management simple and easy to Administer.
Cons
Visual Lease is pretty versatile and there wasn't much I can say to improve it.

Great integration of Lease Admin and Accounting
We have only just begun our journey, but I am very impressed with the customer service and knowledge of our implementation manager and our account manager. It gives me great confidence that we will get the support we need going forward.
Pros
Visual Lease is exactly what we were looking for. We had an existing lease administration system, but were still doing the accounting manually. The lease administration functions are much easier to use and there is a seamless flow into the lease accounting functions. Our implementation manager was amazing. She was able to walk us through the setup process and answered all of our questions. I am confident that I can find the right data quickly in Visual Lease where I just stopped going into the old database because it was much too cumbersome to extract the data in the format I needed it. I also have the confidence that our accounting team is getting the correct data now that we are no longer manually sending reports.
Cons
They have some side features like project management that are limited in nature. Although not a primary purpose of the software, some additional improvements in these areas would make it that much better of a product. Also, the mapping had some inaccuracies that we were able to manually overcome, but should continue to be improved.
Reasons for choosing Visual Lease
Visual lease was the product that we felt had the best integration of both the lease administration and lease accounting functions. Other software systems said they could do both but upon further review they were strong in either admin or accounting but not both.
Reasons for switching to Visual Lease
We did not have a lease accounting system that was tied to our lease admin system. We conducted an RFP for a system with both capabilities and through that process chose Visual Lease.

Pros
Reporting for accounting and AP feed for journal entries.
Cons
Difficult at first to learn. Had difficulties with contacts set up as payors and when the property sold there is a certain order to follow; otherwise, you are updating the new contact as the previous contact and losing the history.

Easy to use for real estate attorneys
Excellent. My client isn't very organized in any other aspect except their leases - all thanks to Visual Lease!
Pros
Visual Lease is easy to use to review and confirm any information about a lease in one place - address, landlord, important dates, all the related documents, and even common names that my client uses to identify the lease internally.
Cons
I had a hard time (and still do) with the report feature. After a couple of years, I accidentally figured out what I needed. Before that, I had the administrator run reports.

Response from Visual Lease

Visual Lease makes managing your company's leases a breeze.
Pros
Reporting, accounting and compliance management features provided by Visual Leases are critical for my company's global lease management, compliance with GAAP & IFRS standards, financial statement and disclosure note preparation, and maintaining lease key dates.
Cons
The document management feature does not allow for all lease files to be uploaded and we have to post a file path to an offline location for those leases.

Response from Visual Lease
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on Visual Lease, we're happy that we've been able to help you solve your compliance issues.

Easy to setup leases and users and also the management of both. Its very intuitive for the ones whos using lease management software for the first time.

Everyone has been very helpful with any issues I have ran in to. My overall experience has been very good.
Pros
Able to view leases and abstracts quickly. Since I pay the rent for over 100 locations I look at the financials and this is very helpful.
Cons
As of now I have not found anything I do not like about Visual Lease

Easy to use product with good funcionality and customer service
Pros
The bulk upload feature is a real time saver, particularly when you have a lot of leases to include.
Cons
Perhaps it could have a better filtering functionality.

Very Functional & User Friendly
Pros
Ease of use and the capability to pull many different reports for rent and other clauses.
Cons
Better functionality in retrieving data for special reports -- such as an Option Notice Report that has more detailed information for our needs. Too detailed to explain here. When entering "increase" dates for rents, can put in notes but not all notes appear even though they are there. Thus, enter increases separately. However, if entered in this fashion and an "increase" report is pulled these entries do not pull up.

Visual Lease For The Win!
Pros
Visual Lease helps my team keep track of all current leases and takes away the manual time and effort it takes to create ASC 842 lease accounting schedules. Additionally, it makes my life in the financial reporting capacity easier by pulling together my disclosures for me.
Cons
We are currently working through issues with connecting Visual Lease with our ERP.

A great tool for lease management at governmental entities
Our previous methodology for operational administration of leases was disorganized, and we often overlooked things like adjusting lease payments to comply with contractual terms or tracking a tenant's payment history. Visual Lease has given us all the tools we need to resolve these issues. Also, prior to acquiring Visual Lease, we had no processes to ensure compliance with the GASB 87 financial standard, and we are very pleased with the support that the Visual Lease application provides in that regard.
Pros
Visual Lease is configured to provide the full support we need with compliance to the emerging GASB 87 financial standard that applies to leases at governmental entities, and also gives us ready visibility to upcoming actions required (e.g., modifying lease payment amounts, updating insurance certificates, and acting upon scheduled contractual options). Both of these features were critical to us, and we are very pleased with the performance of the application in these areas. Pre- and post-implementation support was also terrific. We received excellent guidance in setting up our system, and have not been abandoned after going live.
Cons
At this writing, there' is no workflow to send staff messages about the upcoming events shown on the dashboard (e.g., modifying lease payment amounts, updating insurance certificates, and acting upon scheduled contractual options), so staff members that aren't using Visual Lease sometimes aren't aware of them. However, to be fair, this was not one of the requirements our implementation team defined, and when we inquired Visual Lease informed us they are already working on implementing workflow - so this is a very mild complaint.
Reasons for choosing Visual Lease
Our primary factor in selecting Visual Lease over its competitors was its strong support of GASB 87 compliance, both in terms of the software's functionality and the personal guidance available from VL's implementation specialists. We also liked the fact that Visual Lease didn't de-prioritize either financial compliance or operational support in favor of the other trait; VL assigns equal weight to both in the design of their application.

May 2020
first lease admin & accounting software for the company
positive experience with sales during request for proposal, very knowledgeable and patient implementation team led by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] allowing us to complete implementation on time, some hiccups with trying to have more customised info built into the accounting feed without having to incur additional costs but otherwise have appreciated being put in touch with technical expert [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] to understand how the system does or does not accommodate for IFRS 16 specifics
Pros
ability to apply more than one accounting standard to a lease, ease of running reports and creating ad-hoc rpeorts, clear and easy to follow journal entries and lease amortisation schedules, clean user interface
Cons
very US-centric whereas we are UK company applying IFRS and would like more of the US terminology turned off and more of the IFRS 16 accounting rules evident and labelled as such in the application so that users can make direct correlation to what is in the IFRS rules

Response from Visual Lease
Hi Karen! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We would like to learn more about the specifics of how we can improve our lease accounting nomenclature and usability for clients focused on IFRS 16. I will reach out directly to see if you'd be willing to connect with our Product Team. Thanks again for taking the time to share your input. It is much appreciated.

New Visual Lease User
We have enough leases to justify a software solution versus sticking with Excel. The process starting with demonstrations, through contract discussions and negotiation, to implementation to go-live, were generally smooth. The implementation was simple and was managed in such an excellent way, we were able to go-live two weeks earlier than expected. Customer success is quick to respond to questions. Although we don't always like the responses where the system does not handle a particular situation, we are pleased with the professionalism and care taken to respond.
Pros
The software is very straightforward and easy to use. This solution allows us to stay organized and provides us the platform to be in compliance with ASC 842 Leases. In addition to this we were able to provide our auditors access to read-only documents and calculations and the audit was significantly smoother because of this capability.
Cons
There are some challenges to disposals/terminations of agreements. Improvements are needed to manage the entire life cycle of a leased asset, especially when it comes to accounting and compliance with the new lease standard.
Reasons for choosing Visual Lease
Perceived ease of use and costs

How Visual Lease simplify the way to run reports
Preparing reports become much easier than before. Nowadays it is not required to communicate with all different departments, which very often they are not based in the same country.
Pros
For the Real Estate prospective the most useful feature is the report field. It is very useful and easy to use because you can review and check all the info (General and Financial) for all the units.
Cons
Overall the system works very well and one of the best feature that Visual Lease offers is the financial reporting. At the moment Visual Lease gives you the possibility to run financial reports with simple steps and various options such as customize by month and year. The additional feature that can be add value on these reports could be if the system automatically gives the amount based on the Lease year for all units despite the fact that they have different Lease periods.

Exceptional Product
Reporting was a huge issue with our previous system. That problem has been solved with the fantastic functionality and ease of use. We can add as many users as we want or need and anyone can generate a report from the system to meet their needs. Our lease information can now be shared throughout the company wherever it is needed.
Pros
For me, the best feature of Visual Lease is the report generation. It is so user friendly! There is no point in maintaining a database of information if you are not able to access that information by clicking a few keys! You can literally create a report with any data points from the system in minutes. It has changed the way we do our jobs.
Cons
I can't think of a single thing I would change.
Reasons for choosing Visual Lease
Functionality and price. We're a small company with under 100 leases so the system was well suited to our needs and budget.
Reasons for switching to Visual Lease
The previous system could not meet our reporting needs or future financial reporting requirements.

Visual lease from a first time user
Pros
Ease of use for reporting purposes. Accuracy with several currencies. Easy to add people and manage the listing. Easy to add/modify leases
Cons
During the 10K reporting, there were issues which were reported to the customer support but we didnt get a timely response and issue made us wary of the deadlines.

Hi Arun! Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback. We're glad to hear you're finding efficiencies through reporting with VL. We do have a record of your support case in late January.

Overall experience with Visual Lease as a Portfolio Index of properties has been favorable.
Pros
Ease of use. It is fairly simple to navigate throughout Visual Lease.
Cons
Setting up Ad Hoc reports can be a little difficult. Understanding how to get the filtering to work is not as easy as some systems I have worked with. To be fair, I have not taken the time to go through any of the tutorials, but it is not as intuitive as other systems.
Reasons for switching to Visual Lease
Visual Lease is a better Lease Administration system and was less expensive.

Comprehensive Program/Great Customer Service
I can highly recommend VisualLease with no qualifications. They listen to their customers, and frequent updates to the leasing program are largely in direct response to customer needs. The company is very reliable, and offers other leasing services in addition to administering the lease management program.
Pros
We have been using VisualLease as our exclusive leasing program for almost seven years, and it has never failed to fulfill our leasing neeeds. Having all of our office leases easily accessible from anywhere by multiple users has allowed us to respond to every leasing question in a matter of minutes. The abstract function is extremely valuable in accessing quick information on specific topics, and the financial tracking function has cut our annual budgeting process time in half. I don't know how we'd manage our leases without Visual Lease. The best feature of VisualLease is the company's customer service. There is always a person available to respond immediately to every question and to find a solution to an issue in very short order. The new web version has virtually eliminated all technical issues, and new updates are frequent and well announced.
Cons
If there are any "cons," it might be that although the program is ultimately very user-friendly, it does takes some training at the begninning in order to learn all that the program has to offer. This is not really a "con" - it's just a simple learning experience which is to be expected with any new program.

Efficient Program
Visual Lease has saved our company so much money, and has made many of our jobs much easier.
Pros
What I like most about this software is that I am able to keep all of our corporate leases organized with all critical dates and monthly financials. I also utilize the reporting system, making monthly rent payments easier and efficient.
Cons
Creating reports can be confusing at first, but once they are created reports are easy to generate when you need them.

Pros
Very intuitive. I like the idea you can create new Lease ID's as a test to "play around" with the software and test out the calculations before they go live.

User manual very confusing to read. Sometimes input key (especially for dates) doesn't work and have to retype many times to get date in.

Visual Lease is an effective solution
Recording, tracking and reporting of approximately 450 leases. Has been an effective and robust solution for us.
Pros
Allows us to track and report on all our leases, tie in with Accounting for rent payments and FASB compliance.
Cons
Would like a more robust method to track CAM/OpEx expenses, but that's a minor issue.
