Overall the software is excellent. Pricing mechanisms, portal integration and Guest App elements of the product are absolute standouts. Downside is on the reporting front. There are vast options for reporting, but none that provide the most basic monthly reporting figures, which creates unnecessary work for me (the client) at the end of every month, and doesn't allow a rolling synopsis snapshot of where the business is sitting on any given day within a month. Only other major concern is to do with responding to customer concerns. Emphasis seems to be placed on the development of the product on a macro level, rather than having a separate team of developers ready to respond to client queries and concerns over elements of the product.

speaking about the pros, it is really useful in the sync of the prices and all related to the properties and its owners.

Regarding the cost i would like to sugesst a report that provides the actual information of our needs. for example: We need to have the real information about what happened in the 1st quarter of the semester and when i extract some information from several reports... it gives me DIFERENT result every time, so at the end i dont know which information is the most reliable. i´d like to know how much money i got in months in specific (Jan, Feb and March) regardless the date of the booking (for example: if i got a booking in september for january i would like to see it in January, not in september) If i get an info from the occupancy dashboard it has to match with the "booking by lead source" report, or the "bookings by agent" report. We try to compare our performance from 2017 with 2018 and it is really hard when you have different information with the same parameters or dates. and that leads you to not knowing which one is the right one. i think that all the reports should match... one that says the right % of occupancy, other one with the main lead sources, other one that says how much money you have collected etc etc where at the end all of them match with the number of booking, number of money, number of occupancy, booked nights, and so on. and with all of these you can EXACTLY measure your performance per season, per quarters and so on.

After doing some research into vacation rental software products I chose to call Kigo. They seemed to offer a practical and affordable solution. We are a vacation rental company in Mexico with about 100 properties. Our clients predominantly visit from the US and Canada. An essential feature to a software product for our business is having the ability to charge our clients in US dollars as we pay our owners in US dollars. This was the first requirement we shared with Kigo and they promised they had at least 6 vendors who could provide this solution. We were also interested in the websites they offered, their customer relationship management functionality and the ability for our owners to check the status of their rental independently. After being convinced that all these requirements could be met with ease we signed up. I paid a year in advance and opted with their website build program for an additional $ 1,000 dollars. We gladly paid them nearly $ 5,000 dollars with great anticipation in September 2015. After almost 5 months we launched a website which had not credit card processing option. Kigo offered limited training on how to use their system and website. We participated in two "modules" which overlapped to a large extent and were somewhat helpful. We were promised more training which never happened. I was told it was my responsibility to contact their recommended credit card processors. I contacted each of them with no success. We worked with one Open Pay who was able to process charges in our local currency not in US dollars. This was after months of effort on our part to get the Open Pay system working on our part. We tried to use their system but it never operating property. We could not provide owner summaries. Two of our owners tried to log on to the owner feature with no success. Meanwhile Kigo kept charging us every month for a system which never worked. I asked them in numerous emails to please credit my account until we got the system working properly and they denied this request. Their sales manager stopped responding to my calls and emails. Their support staff tried to help but were not given the proper support to find solutions. My last interaction with them was for yet another $ 350 dollar charge over the nearly $ 5,000 dollars I paid them for a years service. They have responded that they will look into and let me know.

There is nothing I like about this software or company. They are liars and thieves. I have never had an experience like this and recommend that you consider your other options.

I start by saying that i think no one suffer as much with kigo as we did! Looking back (8 years) i consider that the learning curve and expertise we got form all the problems we faced made us the company we are today and for this we are very thankful. For all potentional clients looking to Kigo this is what you need to know: 1) There are no perfect software systems (gold rule), but after all the changes Kigo did in 2017 i know that Kigo is not only the best software on the market but also will change the way that many PM do their business and is always adding new features and solutions that will surprise you and put your business on the right track. 2) The customer support is incredible, and allow me the personal BIG thank you to Júlia Peixoto that completely changed the relation and vision we had with Kigo through her work. 3) the leader of Kigo, is a visionary and I know he is already changing our market and a lot more will come. 4) I would need to highlight the rest of the team, but having people like is a game changer and give us all the trust on their future. 5) Finally, i do remember an ad Kigo had few years ago that said "Do not bring a Knife to a Guns Fight" (i know it´s to American) but actually it honestly represents what working with kigo means: you count with a system (that is not perfect) but allows you to be on top of the game, feel protected and prepared for the future!

To be fair, with 8 years experience using the system, 1500 characters wouldn´t be enough! However, i would like to add my value to this question by focusing on something diferent that you will find from the other reviews: 1) There are no perfect systems, so there is no point of putting all the faults on a system and expect all the solutions just because you are paying a small fee per month. 2) It´s very funny to see clients from Kigo or other PMS, making huge complains about the service provided when everybody makes errors and bad experiences on their companies, pointing the finger it´s easy, how you contribute to avoid them and make a better service is what is important and on this field, kigo, since 2017, have been delivering. 3) In RentExperience, we learned a basic rule, a company like Kigo won´t make a solution for one specific client so you need to understand your business, your goals and how you will achieve them. The value proposition of Kigo nowadays is to give you a software that can give you "peace of mind" of the day to day work and make your company more efficient but the rest it will have to come from you! To finalize, there is a reason why we still work with Kigo....because we are believers! We believe on Kigo system and their team! They are always looking to the future and developing new tools to companies like us to be better and at the end of the day, allow us to make more money!
