Buildium vs. Chime CRM

We have really appreciated the recent integrations and steps to make the system easier to use. We utilize the task flow internally to track items needed as well as with our owners and tenants. It allows us to easily track the number of requests as well as the work history.

Honestly, in my opinion, if they improved customer service had a checks an balance system for their employees things would be better. Having major issues with certain features and your only source of reprieve is the person who caused the issue is abominable I feel. Not sound.

• It documents the date and time of all updates and communications, which are essential to the companys records.
• It allows external clients to communicate and stay in touch with our company, as well as access information.
• It serves as a large database for all of our customer and client information that is very user-friendly.

• listing promotion
• add ons

• Reconciliation adjustment, please enact a password setting. Having to un-reconcile 4 months to get to the desired date is ridiculous.
• Fix the notes & loans to have communication between separate companies.
• Allow for duplicate vendors to merge.
• Give a re-send option for tenant portal use/creation.
• Allow to search by Invoice # (reference #)
• Fix the credit system, allow the transfer of deposits from one unit to be moved to another.
• When ending a lease, show the ledger adjustments as you add charges/refund deposits etc.
• Option to see duplicate transactions!!

• costumer service
• follow through
• Writing a complaint about an ad manager to that ad manager is a sure fire way that it gets buried or not communicated up

I have used three property management softwares and know of others who have used additional softwares for managing properties. Buildium seems to be the best of all of them

Overall, the system is good and getting better; however, different roll outs have caused the system to regress. Their latest bank automation rollout was a disaster and continues to be an issue. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to sync our bank and Buildium (download transactions).

I have been able to get through to support immediately and they have been awesome in quickly resolving issues. More importantly, their communication when there is an issue which might take some time to resolve surfaces. Getting updates and resolution are critical.

I cannot rate this since I was not part of that process

We only went with Buidlium because we had the option to absorb the fees for rent payments. I wanted to provide $0 fees for Tenants to pay online. I'm glad we went with Buildium in the end but that was the only reason we moved forward with them was because we could customize that option to match our business model.
