Yardi Voyager Software

Pros

Easy to use ! Is the number one top choice for Multi- family residential properties . No others compare with this easy to use intuitive software .Value for the money is not comparable .It is so simple to use . All your property management needs are taken care of at the tips of your fingers.

Pros

I like the functionality of the product. The conferences are very nice to learn about new products and changes in the system.

Cons

Integration with other systems can be a huge issue many times. The system should be more web-based for a more user friendly interface.

Pros

Easy to use, super basic program that takes care of all your needs. I love dash board. Anyone with basic common sense could work this program. Integrates nicely with other software's such as resident check and bluemoon.

Cons

I've used this software with different management companies and you can pick and choose which functions you want, nothing really negative on Yardi itself but not all companies use the same functions and not being able to use all of them can make the software a little more tricky at times.

I used this software to manage a large database of clients. I received a day of training and that was more than sufficient to get the hang of Voyager. For our purposes, I was easily able to search clients by first or last name, last 4 of ssn, or even the street they lived on. Was able to upload documents directly into the system and attach them to client profiles, which cut back on our paper usage and kept us from having to add more filing cabinets.

Pros

-Efficient
-Easy to learn, easy to use
-Reliable

Cons

Interface can get clogged up with open windows. Sometimes when you click to open a link the page will open in the background and you will not notice. Not a big deal maybe just something to work on for the next software update.

Advice to Others

If you need help managing your client database and would like to save money on paper and office space storing files than this is the perfect software for you. I have been nothing but happy with it.

YARDI has been my go-to property management software at more than twenty different communities. The ability of this software to be manipulated to provide the management data and style to apply to so many various asset types, and or management styles is pretty amazing. The years of improvements through providing leading edge management software has honed this offering to include the ability to manage every aspect of your asset management needs.

The bottom line costs associated with licensing and usage are a consideration. For smaller users, the costs to set up menus, tabs, and reports are greater because they cannot be absorbed in as many budgets to achieve the customization you may need, within the included hours of service. These are some reasons smaller users are choosing other management softwares. It would seem such a stable industry leader would have simplified and made more inclusive, all the basics needed for smaller users.

Recommendations

Have prepared questions for specific demonstration by the software sales department of target areas that are important to you such as vendor management, what the process looks like from traffic through move out and the various ease of use options included. It is very important to understand the service options for continued training and support options to clearly ensure the software offers all you are seeking for your monthly and annual investment management.

Not for smaller HOA's - may be best for large associations, or a number of associations in a Manager's portfolio.

Likes Least

Does not provide sufficient Project Management tools. The version we would need is too expensive. The low-end version doesn't have basic features we need to track maintenance requests, projects, access documents, utilize email to send Board notifications.

Compare to Buildium, AssociationVoice and others that either offer website based or iCloud based services with portal access.
