For larger communities, Buildium doesn’t have the accounting capabilities you need. Anything up to 100 units is easily managed and works well.

Qualia doesn't "lose" data when you go from screen to screen as other programs do. It is very easy to set up a transaction.

Buildium
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.

We have used e-closing and, a long time ago, ABC. Qualia is easier for data entry and doesn't lose data if you forget to hit "save." It is very intuitive.
