Chose Accruent Lucernex
We currently use CoStar, but it has very limited capabilities, which is why we chose to move to Lucernex.
We evaluated Prolease and CoStar. ProLease provided the bare minimum, while functional, lacked the integration piece to other systems. CoStar was the cadillac of systems. Lucernex was a good middle ground.
We already use another Accruent program and plan to transition additional modules next year, so we did not evaluate other companies specifically for the Lease Admin/Accounting piece. We looked at Lucernex as a whole Real Estate lifecyle and it offered us the most in terms of …
SAP and IBM's offering was overly intricate for our needs. Their costs were out of our budget range. We also looked at services from external audit firms, which showed the same result.
We chose Lucernex based on the commitment of building and maintaining the customer/vendor relationship to grow the product, the end user ability to configure the system and the systems functionality to complete all of our lease management needs.
I was not around when the program was selected, but I know at the time that we selected Lucernex mainly because it was the only cloud-based software we knew about at the time and that was a requirement that our IT notified us of late in our search.
I cannot recall exactly what other products we reviewed before choosing Lucernex, but one of the leading factors was how highly customizable the software was. We had previously been using Retail Lease which was an older program with buckets of data stored everywhere. During the …
I believe Accruent is well suited for companies with a large amount of leased assets that need to be accounted for under the new accounting standard. Companies with fewer leases would not need an intricate tool of this size. It is suited for both real estate and equipment leases, which makes up the entirety of our portfolio.
The classroom and web-base training experience were very well-executed. Instructors and SME's in training were knowledgeable and helpful.
Upper management oversight of the projects provides the customer with confidence knowing that if escalations need to occur, issues will be handled.
Management was quick to make it right and switch our team when they recognized that there were some fundamental pieces missing from our initial SOW for our project.
We were misled that we would be utilizing Lucernex employees on our implementation. We have subcontractors from Sense Corp who do not seem that they are very familiar with the software. They often have to take questions away to ask (presumably Lucernex employees).
The implementation process is very inefficient. The upload templates are not straightforward, and there are "required" fields that are not designated as "required". Also, the sheer number of upload templates that need to be populated does not seem like the best way to get our information into the software. A guide to denote what each field on the template actually represents would be helpful.
You can tell that Lucernex is benefiting from the influx of business from ASC 842, and is trying to onboard as many clients as possible at the same time. This has caused a lack of attention to our implementation, and it shows with some frustration on our side with the implementation process.
The trainers were knowledgeable and engaging in presenting the materials, and their emphasis on important concepts was helpful (I would rate the trainers themselves a 9!). However, I do not believe there's anything we learned in the in-person training that could not have been taught via live web-classroom. Traveling a significant distance (in our case) to Austin, TX for only approx. 12 hours in the classroom was (in my opinion) not necessary, since the same material could have been presented via live web-classroom and saved us the expense and travel-time. I would encourage Lucernex to consider moving to a live web-classroom format in the future; an online live format would still allow for participation and questions from the participants while saving clients' time and money
