Ease of use, functionality, tech support, customization, integration partners.

Some features don't seem to close the circle and could be taken one step further to make the process complete

Customize Rent Manager for YOUR USE!
Comments: RM has provided a sound product and continues to grow and change each year, while also keeping the customization for each customer. I like that my setup is for ME and someone else change tweek stuff to make it how they need. I have used this software for 13 years and have only had a few issues, which were mainly resolved by the wonderful/knowledgeable RM support staff. When in doubt of something new, I utilize the in-software help or call RM support and get an answer to my delimma promptly.
Pros:
I like that you can customize to your specific needs in almost everything you do & setup in RM, it's not just "canned software" - I can make it my own!
Cons:
Lacking in the AP/AR areas for credits - can't spread to all properties, usually a credit is only applied to 1 property and for something that applies to ALL properties (i.e. worker's comp), I cannot spread a credit to everyone.

Pros:
I love customer service and am willing to solve any issue.

Rent Manager - ease of use
Comments: I was blown away at how easy it was to convert our tenant data from 2 legacy systems and get Rent Manager up and running. It took less than 1 month where at another company I worked at, they would still be selecting the Project Management team to manage the implementation.
Pros:
Very easy to implement, tons of How-to videos, easy to use, intuitive, flexible, and field personal found it easy to use and helpful to their job.
Cons:
Nothing material comes to mind, however, I if I could wish for anything, I would like to have a tightly integrated Treasury/Banking functionality that would integrate with many banks and automatically download bank statement activity into the Bank Recs and automatically clear outstanding checks.

20 Years with Rent Manager software~Love it
Comments: I've been using Rent Manager for 20 years when they were transitioning out of DOS into Windows. I would say we have "evolved" together. So many changes in technology over the years. And RM has taken advantage of those advances and incorporated them into their software. I find new efficiencies everyday utilizing the automated postings, report batches, payment postings and more. Letter templates with scripting makes notices to tenants so easy!
Pros:
The company is continually improving the software to accomplish anything and everything property management needs for residential and commercial properties. Electronic rent payments in and electronic bill payments out.
Cons:
I can't really think of anything. If I run into a problem I call customer support and they help me through it. They are experts in their area of the software.

Super User Friendly!
Pros:
it is so user friendly and customizable. it is also easy to correct mistakes. with other softwares, my new employees were so scared to do anything because a mistake would mess up reports and they would have to reach out to someone in upper management to fix. the support teams are also always really great to work with.
Cons:
the only thing i am not a huge fan of with rent manager is the maintenance set up for turns and things.
Rent Manager - Key for Success
Comments: Rent Manager is a fantastic product. It has everything we need and more, and for a price that allows us to keep prices fair for our owners and tenants. Rent Manager is dynamic, always growing and willing to accept feedback.
Pros:
Rent manager is a clean and easy to use database. Highly customizable for both your role and use preferences.
Cons:
This is the hardest part to review. I would say that sometimes it is difficult to figure out which UDFs to include to pull a report successfully when creating a new one, but trial and error is expected in this process.

Comments: Since we have been using this product, we have been more than satisfied. If we do run into a problem that we personally can not solve, the Rent Manager agents have always been exceptional in their service to us, as well as, friendly, non-judgmental and get the issue taken care of quickly. Can't say enough about the RM staff!

There really are no complaints with this program. I would recommend it highly.

Great Software - Meets All Our Needs
Comments: We have been using the software for close to 10 years and have not thought about switching products. There are even facets of the software that we do not use and just not changed how we do business to use them. Happy & content to stay with the product that has served us well. We have grown significantly in this same time frame and the product still works great!
Pros:
We are easily able to track everything we need within the software. There is no need for supplemental software.
Cons:
Every once in a while, despite all the bells and whistles this software has to offer, we run into something we would like to report on or see and we are told that it is a suggestion but not implemented as of now. That has only happened on rare occasions and not recently.

Does almost everything you could want it to...
Comments: Great experience overall. Michael Cobb was a fantastic implementation specialist. I had a lot of unique problems that he helped me figured out. He was always prepared for the next call. His services alone made Rent Manager worth the price.
Pros:
Has all the accounting features you could want. You can even take care of accounting for management companies by setting up an additional "property." The integration of Zego's ePay feature automatically accounts for online payments, drastically reducing the time it would normally take to manually deposit checks in the bank and "deposit" them in Rent Manager.
Cons:
We own a campground with MTM tenants who all show up on different days of the month, staying for various lengths of time. This software will only post recurring charges once a month, insteading of posting each charge on the day it's due. Likewise, it would be a nightmare to set up late fees and Accounts Receivable automations based on different due days; you would need a separate automation for every day of the month for each task. To circumvent this problem, we have to adjust all of the tenants to the same rent due date and prorate rent at both move-in and move-out. Unique situation that probably wont apply to most customers, but turned out to be a headache for me.

Great Property Management software with excellent customer service.
Pros:
RM is incredibly complex, which means that there's always going to be some new functionality that you can discover, and some new tool that you can use. The option for addons is also incredibly useful and makes RM practically limitless in scope when it comes to property management software. Also, RM's customer service is absolutely wonderful, and very knowledgeable. I often spend just a few seconds on hold for an answer, and at most a few minutes, depending on the time of day.
Cons:
Though the user interface is a bit intimidating, it's all there for a reason. You learn to get used to it and you begin to understand why everything is set up as it is.
