CoStar Real Estate Manager vs. storEDGE by Storable

I do not recommend

A great feature or system would be the ability to handle all our operations, taskings within storEDGE's software. The ability to task accounting, operations, or facility managers would be an all in one stop.

• In our market (Portland, OR), not enough users implement the tools that could make CoStar so much better. For example, I specialize in medical but brokers and owners don't take the time to mark medical as an approved use in their buildings so I have to search much longer and cross-reference the data by contacting the brokers directly.
• I find it really annoying that when I download documents CoStar doesn't use smart technology to automatically name my files. It is especially irritating since every piece of marketing we post to CoStar has a relevant file name yet when we download the same file we have to rename it.

Incentivized

• The utilization of a referral system within the software.
• A more consistent outcome with automated delinquency stages from storEDGE to mail to the post office to the renter.
• Having an API built out with some of the real estate based task managers.
• The ability to subtract security deposits in delinquency mailings for compliance with various State Lien Laws.

storEDGE has a very user-friendly interface. Customer support is available for general inquiries and responsive. The possibility exists for creating custom business solutions with their staff. They continually hold webinars, release improvements, new features, etc. It removes a lot of tasks that would be time-consuming for the operations staff.

One of our landlords requested we try VTS but we didn't continue because it was such a small portfolio it too more time to update the database than we wanted to spend

This is the only storage software I've utilized.

• Since CoStar has linked with LoopNet we have had fewer bad data calls. By which I mean old data from LoopNet that was available to the general public is now more regularly updated through CoStar so we have less confusion with our clients.

Incentivized

• A real-time look at the status of facilities is invaluable to our organization.
• Great tracking of delinquencies from the start through the auction process.
• As previously iterated, an integrated task management system would make the software the best.
