Best Software for the money

I have evaluated and tried several different platforms. What set's them apart is the ease of use, the fact that is full of features and the price is just right.

PROS

Ease of implementation, ease of use and incredibly easy to train people.

CONS

Could use a little work on rate management.

Reason for choosing BrightSide Rental Management

Value, ease of use and implementation.

Reasons for switching to BrightSide Rental Management

Entech was being dis-continued and the other option from the company was way over priced and had very few usable features. Also, even though both, my current software at the time and the other option, were both their products, they could not do the implmention/migration....Brightside did!

Brightside makes our business shine!

With Brightside I'm more in touch with my business. I've had to manage rentals from halfway around the world for a couple weeks at a time. Never had a worry--Brightside has outstanding uptime. Great customer service--the team listens to your concerns and helps you find solutions or answers. And the value is solid--we're a small rental business and feel fortunate to have found such an affordable software solution.

PROS

How much it helped organize and streamline our day-to-day business and data. Our software before Brightside was good for property ownership but not management. Now we can manage our business, create reports, look ahead and plan for changes.

CONS

I'll be honest, Brightside is not as intuitive as I'd like. Once you learn the system, it's all good. But a few times I've had to call or email for support because I couldn't figure something out. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have always been prompt to respond. Knowing that I can reach out to them for guidance is a huge benefit.

Reason for choosing BrightSide Rental Management

BrightSide was recommended by our web site developer. But after meeting with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], I felt confident their team would be there to help me navigate the backend-building process. Upgrading our software was a big undertaking for our small rental business. Brightside met our budget needs and gave us the confidence to move forward.

Reasons for switching to BrightSide Rental Management

Our previous software didn't have the functionality we needed as we added more properties. It was a good value but it didn't have the potential to grow with our business.

Best Reservation Software with real, active, and available support for any issues

Absolutely love the product and their people

PROS

The software is so simple to understand. Transitioning from another software was an absolute breeze. The Brightside team are very thorough and easy to talk to. They are always willing to help and take suggestions that will help your business.

CONS

If there is anything I disliked about the software it was because of my own lack of understanding. A quick phone call explaining my situation always yields a perfect solution. When you have a software company that is available there isn't any reason to dislike it.

Reason for choosing BrightSide Rental Management

Hands down the most least complicated reservation software. The flow and details of this product not to mention the cost make it perfect for me and my business.

Reasons for switching to BrightSide Rental Management

Brightside is local for me and offers much more personable service.

Highly recommend

We have used Brightside for almost 10 yrs and love how they will do updates to their software to stay with the market for overnight rentals

PROS

Super easy to use and set up. Also allowed us to integrate 3rd party bookings into our calendars.

CONS

At this time, I can not think of anything to report on

Reasons for switching to BrightSide Rental Management

We switched to make taking reservations go smoother. Also had different functions that we were looking for at the time in running reports and integrating 3rd party on line bookings.
