Buildium vs. Guesty

I'm very happy with the service provided via phone, to me that is the absolute largest draw. I also really appreciate the integrations Buildium offers. I mostly appreciate HappyCo, Petscreening, and Hunter Warfield. None of these are seamless in their communication with Buildium but it's still a vast improvement from having to have separate accounts from Buildium so overall, it is beneficial to our company

Not necessarily not appropriate but could be better overall As stated, the chat/messaging function, locating canceled reservations, warning users when a feature is being changed and actually provide a training even if it's steps or a quick video I know I can find it in the help center it just should have been provided up front. We shouldn't have to go looking for things.

• Hello Sign has been a really rough transition and is not as user friendly as Adobe Sign.
• Customer service struggles to understand what is going on and you have to hang up and call to get someone else.
• Owner portal is lacking in my opinion.

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).

This was a ten before the calendar update. The calendar update was rolled out poorly. There was no warning, one day it was just different and we had to relearn how to use it with no guide or reference. This really could have been done better and more efficiently. A simple email

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.

Appfolio is my favorite software, and they are constantly making improvements. Buildium is great if you don’t have a ton of property but is not as manageable for advanced accounting and resident information tracking. There are workarounds, but they do need to work on their ease of use for owners.

• Buildium absolutely saves time. Having all of our management systems in one place is almost beyond a value at this point because it’s the basic requirement of running an effective property management company.

• Since using Guesty we are seeing a lower response time due to the chat feature. It takes about 25 mins for us to reply simply bc we don't see them until we refresh. We like response time to be 10 mins
• We've also had a 25% increase in owner communication since owners are having trouble with the calendar
• Overall though 30% increase in bookings due to having multiple platforms in one
