Chose Aline
Using different versions of Yardi showed me that it was only as effective if a decent amount of add-ons were purchased by the company. Welcome Home was good but not as philosophy-driven because of the Sherpa influence on Aline.

Aline
Aline is suited for scenarios where it is crucial to gather and document a large amount of key information from prospects and their influencers in order to move the sales process forward. Aline is only as effective as the user chooses to utilize the tools provided. A great CRM should be one that, if another individual needs to access and take the lead over, should be seamless and informative.

Yardi
Any senior living/retirement home would likely benefit by using Yardi Senior Living suite. The fact that it handles the needs of almost the entire business makes it a very convenient platform for operating retirement residences.

Aline

Yardi
  • Yardi does have a tendency to release new features a bit early. I understand the drive to deliver what customers are asking for, but in some cases, further testing before release would be beneficial.
  • Yardi used to allow clients to have access to a remote desktop, which came in very handy to maintain the environment and develop new reports. They replaced this with web based tools that don't work as well.
  • Yardi does not handle any time sheet or payroll functions. It's the main shortcoming for our needs. As a result we have leveraged other software for this.

Support Rating
Aline
We have utilized Aline's customer support in the past when we were having difficulty curating a list for a needed report. The customer support team was very responsive and followed up to ensure that we were not having any issues following the call. The product training has been very helpful with new hire training.

I haven't used it PointClickCare directly, but I'm told by others in the industry that it's more suited to Long Term Care. Yardi Senior Living works better for retirement residences with assisted and independent living.

Return on Investment
Aline
  • When we implemented Aline the team occupancy was 76% by year end we were at 86.4%, this took 10 months.
  • The platform saves me countless hours each month for datamining for board reports. The system has paid for itself several times over
  • We can now compare year of year marketing campaigns to find out which campaigns to keep or no longer suit our market.

  • There can be a steep learning curve for many Yardi products.
  • Upgrades tend to generate a lot of end user issues despite extensive testing.
