Before switching to Yardi, I used Excel and QuickBooks to manage all properties and payments. Yardi Breeze has streamlined property management; I easily keep track of tenants and leases, maintenance requests, expenses, and vendors. And the best part is that I can do it all from anywhere! Whether I'm in the office or the field, everything is in one place.

Yardi is continuously updating to provide the best features to its users. If there is ever something I think could improve, there is a feature to give feedback, and Yardi's engineers take every suggestion into account to continue to deliver the best for the users.

So far it has been great. I like that all the documents can be uploaded to each tenant and we can keep track of all correspondence.

I like that Yardi Breeze is easy to use and has a chat function to quickly as for help.

It does not pro-rate a lease amount if the tenant is moving in mid month. Also, want a way prospects can book an appointment to come tour the building, currently using calendly for this.

It seems that whoever made this software has never tried it for property management. On paper it checks all the boxes, in practice it's probably one of the worst softwares I've had to interface with. I've time and time again suggested improvements, but the improvements they make literally could be done in 1 hour by any competent software engineer but it takes literally months for a single feature to be pushed out

I like that I can store all my property and tenant data in a database

1. Cannot use property inspection tool, because you can't zoom in on photos for move in move out inspections. 2. Rentcafe has terrible user interface, I am essentially tech support for tenants because the portal is confusing 3. Cannot work in Yardi in 2+ windows/tabs simultaneously 4. Cannot track employees changing a RENTAL amount. Absolutely NO TRACEABILITY FOR THIS. Hope you have honest employees 5. The chat support is very unknowledgeable, 9/10 times I have to wait for them to find the answer from their superior or someone else, which usually takes 2+ days 6. Rentcafe is garbage, I literally could not even apply for a unit on rentcafe, in fact rentcafe shows occupied units as available. BUGGY

We are quite satisfied with Yardi Breeze and always look forward to the updates to make this an even better product!!

It is a comprehensive program that allows us to synchronize our property management, administration and accounting functions together. We have gained efficiencies throughout the organization. In addition, as a user of many of Yardi's platforms, Breeze is easy to use and is quite user friendly.

While using the product there are a number of glitches/processes that need to be improved upon. The check scanning App doesn't work for Canadian bank accounts and we cannot use it. In addition, remittance advice on EFT payments is missing information like the invoice number and some other areas can be improved. For the reporting, the Tenant code is not on any of the reports.

My teams favorite part about Yardi is the chat feature. We use this feature almost weekly. The staff on the other end are courteous and knowledgeable. We rely heavily on their expertise.

The prospect portion we do not utilize and it will put units on the marketplace without our approval.

Yardi Premier is not easy to use for our Property managers, As experienced developer , many steps to do one transaction is not in the Favorite to many , I ran survey in our company and many told me the same.

The Icon on main page and Calendar is user friendly.

Many steps to do...for a transaction or leases. Yardi Premier is in Beta version and need more work to complete. Connectivities were not good but got better, less disconncetion these days, also refund deposit are not accurate, any easier way?

All team members have up to date information that is relevant for their individual roles - timely, accurate and complete financial reporting as well as current tenancy information.

At times there are reporting inconsistencies - inputs do not equal the outputs for the Commercial Recovery Reconciliation and GL reports.

Appearance and ease of generating reports. Customization of account titles

Screening WOrks, Tenant status eliminates tenant in certain views, filters and generate to an excel spreadsheet not in all reports

I find Yardi to be very similar in function to Sales Force as far as ease of use goes. I like Yardi as an overall operating system.

-Ease of use -Ease to teach -New functions being added all the time -Help desk

-The system is finicky in many ways -There are continual glitches/ information that seems to get stick behind the scenes -When updates happen the stuck information seems to get pushed through.

The Ease of learning the way to accomplish your work goals

Understanding limitations of the program, differences from previous program

During this pandemic, going virtual is absolutely essential. We are an essential business and we DID NOT SKIP A BEAT when we went into shelter in place orders. As owner of the property management business I am just incredibly thankful to have finished implementation just 4 months earlier. We really lucked out on the timing.

The rent collection is most helpful feature. Reports are incredibly easy to send out to owners each month. The accounting system is extremely robust. I was able to get up and running pretty quickly. However I am still learning new features all the time.

The implementation time was very long, over a year. However, my previous setup was not able to be imported (manual system) so I understand why. Nevertheless, I would not change anything. We are very happy to be in the cloud with Yardi Breeze.

The overall experience since day 1 of using this product has been ABSOULTELY TERRIBLE. At this point my team and I are extremely exhausted. We were very hopeful when signing that this would automate some tasks and make the multi-family side of our business much easier to maintain. However, it has been the complete opposite. Processes that were simple in previous software have become much more time consuming and inefficient. I truly believe this is an immature software and should not have been released to the public yet. Steer clear, people. Go with something else.

Breeze seems to have a nice "look" and is more user friendly to navigate. There are multiple ways to get to certain screens.

The accounting on this software is not efficient. We've ran into so many issues and nobody seems to have an answer for basic features that this software is lacking. During the sales process, we were ensured this was THE BEST software on the market for Multi-Family managers. However, Breeze does not even allow owner draws to be sent Via EFT over $25,000. We have multiple multi-family properties whose draw is consistently double or triple that amount. Breeze does NOT function in multiple tabs or windows. If we are in the middle of a process but need to go double check a number, we have to exit and start all over once verifying. Breeze also lacks the ability to split late fees or application fees with the properties, which both of the other software's we have used were capable of doing. Receipts posted in a batch do NOT post to tenants ledgers until the batch is posted, meaning we either have to have a ton of batches per day or a tenant who pays in the morning does not get that to show on their ledger until the batch is posted at the end of the day. There is no tenant credit button. If you want to issue tenant credits, you have to enter a negative charge - but the kick is that negative charges do NOT automatically apply. Meaning, each month once charges are posted you have to go search for those negative charges and manually apply them. That's IF your monthly charges post automatically. We've had two consecutive months of our automated tasks not working.

It is quite a long list, mostly it is about efficiency and reliability which is allowing us to grow and manage the growth without having the usual system problems that go along with that.

There are three things that stand out, Online Payments with RentCafe is very easy to set up and tenant love it, we have 100% adoption for online payments. The Owner Portal has had much bigger impact that we expected, we several owner who outside the country and in other states, having not a document repository but not having to send tons of emails, the owners can review documents on their schedule and they know where to locate agreements, insurance policies, etc. Lastly, generating monthly could be easier!

Being a long Yardi Voyager user, not having the ability to export data into Excel for custom reports or special projects is something I would really like to see.

My overall experience was exceptional from the first call with the sales team to our implementation specialist. I would highly recommend Yardi Breeze.

I found the ability to customize for a project that was not a typical end user for Yardi Breeze. Considering the complexity of our project, our implementation specialist was amazing and made the process a breeze!

The main downside of the Yardi Breeze was not having the banking integration, but it was my understanding it might become available in future updates.

Again, we are in set up, but everything has been very smooth so far. I really appreciate the helpful customer service.

We are still in the set up phase, however there are several positives I can already share about Yardi. The price is excellent - middle of the road or lower compared to other, similar software. The customer service has also been top notch. It is very clear that Yardi values and listens to customer input. So far, set up has been relatively easy. The help center is a fantastic resource.

So far, I have not had any major issues. I'm sure we will learn as we go, though.

I love the simplicity of the program and how user-friendly it is. The integration was also super easy and I was able to set it up with the help of an amazing Yardi team!, [sensitive content hidden], my Heros!!

I wish I had better access to Rent Cafe. With Voyager I had better access and could help tenants in a much simpler way.

Frustrating. Some fixes can be easy yet they don't get done. We came from Yardi so easier to stay but frustrating on a daily basis. If I could find another program I would change.

The fact that we had Yardi before and our data came over. The fact that it's web based and we can access anywhere.

There are so many things!!! If you go to a Tenant's ledger you cannot easily send them email. If you paid a check and want to change the notes you can't. Hard to enter Tenant's addresses. The program goes down an awful lot, it's down as we speak and was having issus for the last 2 days. If you have a payable to one vendor and it's from 3 properties and you pay 2 out of 3 you cannot pay the last one. You need to delete the entire payable to ake out that one. If you delete a check the check number is deleted as well. So when doing a bank rec you don't know what happened to that check number. We cannot use the "apply pre-payments button' because breeze chooses what to pay instead of us. You cannot just print a report everything must be put into PDF first, what a waste of key strokes! Formatting checks, why can't there be a format for all checks?? You have to do each bank account individually! If you want to print a Tenant ledger and you choose "add additional occupants" the letter is addressed to "The occupants of" How unprofessional is that!!! Why can't it list the names. This seems to me to be an easy fix, yet you don't fix it. Why can't you show the Tenant's rent on their main screen you have to make another key stoke to go to the ledger to find out there rent. Shall I go on???

I have no cons. I don't know how to reply to this question.

Customer service is stellar and helps you thru most problems. Our big complaint is that it was launched thinking about the layman, but it was built from the mindset of an accountant, which defeats the purpose.

Marketed and launched as a "breeze" but designed to cater to bookkeeper/accounting minded users It was also created originally as a residential platform, but they've improved on that greatly and it works fairly well with commercial. Some tasks could be made to a simpler process but can be quite tricky getting the books to work correctly. Monthly Bank Reconciliation needs a major improvement.

It's been a good product property management wise - what we had been lacking - but it falls short accounting wise. I wish there was a way to set security protocols for certain users to edit transaction in prior "closed" months. We are one owner and don't have to report to multiple clients - so editing past transactions to have clean books is a must. Reclassifying is a total pain.

Keeping track of lease dates, tenant receivables, security deposits, etc.

I really wish this was as easy to use accounting wise as QuickBooks. It really lacks a lot as far as editing transactions, playing bills from multiple accounts, etc. We are one owner with multiple properties and entities - we trade monies back and forth and find it very hard to do with Breeze alone - so many journal entries. We have to post to QB at the end of each month to keep correct records.

Overall breeze is very effective and efficient. It has been a great help getting all the information in the same place and in real time.

Yardi breeze is web-based and user friendly. This is the best thing to be able to access our information from anywhere.

Coming from Voyager, it seems some of the very usable features were lost. For example, the copy feature is not as user friendly as it is in voyager. It seem there are many limitations in Breeze,

Overall we are more satisfied than disappointed with the product. I do believe that they are trying to "evolve" as time goes by with users "suggestions". It is my hope that the software engineers are "listening" :o)

Love the web based options. Owner EFT distributions, email and "owner portal" reporting, tenant statements with the ability to email. This program is functionally similar to Yardi Professional which we used for over 20 years. It was tough to make the switch due to the fact that YP was a workhorse, but having all of the web capabilities to bring us into the "21st Century" was a GREAT move! Especially with the current COVID-19 crisis - we were able to have some of our employees work from home! If we "had" to, we would have been able to totally function remotely.

I don't like the time it takes for the EFT's to hit our owner's accounts (5 banking days). I also do not like the fact that the company Logo and company information are not provided on the cover page of the monthly report packages. I have made several comments about this (I've had owner "complaints" as there is no contact information on the package for when they supply them to their tax professionals - this is "not" a professional look for our company). Not being able to "toggle" between different screens (which we could do in a very "old" program was a surprise to us!).

One of the worst experiences I have every had with any company. We had onboarding specialist who would not help. After telling our salesman we wanted someone else multiple times they still insisted on this person being on our calls. We never got our site up and running. Many things were told to us that never happened. It took days to get tech support to help fix any issues we had. They were very rude to talk to. When I called to ask my salesman to let me know if our contract had expired. He cussed the company and apologized. Most unprofessional call I have ever been on. This was the longest 2-3 years of my life. Glad we finally left.

It is a very powerful software that requires multiple full time people to keep the system running.

Too confusing to use. It is so complex and complicated that it is hard to figure out what all is going on. You have to make sure all the property info is correct or it will mess everything up. We had many units not get billed because the tenant went month to month, so the system quit billing. We had to go though all of our units and change the billing data to 2099. This is one of the many issues we had.

I am very happy with my purchase of YARDI Breeze and would choose it over and over again.

YARDI Breeze is so much more efficient than any other property management software I have used (which is a many). It has made our jobs faster in every department.

Nothing! I am very happy with that YARDI Breeze has to offer.
