Considered Both Products	Buildium Susan Pratt Property Manager Chose Buildium We only went with Buidlium because we had the option to absorb the fees for rent payments. I wanted to provide $0 fees for Tenants to pay online. I'm glad we went with Buildium in the end but that was the only reason we moved forward with them was because we could customize … Incentivized Helpful?	Yardi Breeze No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Buildium	Yardi Breeze
Likelihood to Recommend	RealPage I'm very happy with the service provided via phone, to me that is the absolute largest draw. I also really appreciate the integrations Buildium offers. I mostly appreciate HappyCo, Petscreening, and Hunter Warfield. None of these are seamless in their communication with Buildium but it's still a vast improvement from having to have separate accounts from Buildium so overall, it is beneficial to our company Incentivized Susan Pratt Property Manager Read full review	Yardi Yardi Breeze is awesome if you're a residential property manager. It has all the bells and whistles. However, it does work well for commercial properties. Incentivized JA Joseph Alessandro Vice President of Finance Read full review
Pros	RealPage It documents the date and time of all updates and communications, which are essential to the companys records. It allows external clients to communicate and stay in touch with our company, as well as access information. It serves as a large database for all of our customer and client information that is very user-friendly.

Cons	RealPage Hello Sign has been a really rough transition and is not as user friendly as Adobe Sign. Customer service struggles to understand what is going on and you have to hang up and call to get someone else. Owner portal is lacking in my opinion. Incentivized Miranda Garrett Operations Manager Read full review	Yardi Geared more toward residential Rent Cafe Confusion Incentivized JA Joseph Alessandro Vice President of Finance Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	RealPage I have used three property management softwares and know of others who have used additional softwares for managing properties. Buildium seems to be the best of all of them Incentivized PJ Paul Joslin HOA Property Manager Read full review	Yardi No answers on this topic
Usability	RealPage Overall, the system is good and getting better; however, different roll outs have caused the system to regress. Their latest bank automation rollout was a disaster and continues to be an issue. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to sync our bank and Buildium (download transactions).

Support Rating	RealPage I have been able to get through to support immediately and they have been awesome in quickly resolving issues. More importantly, their communication when there is an issue which might take some time to resolve surfaces. Getting updates and resolution are critical. Incentivized PJ Paul Joslin HOA Property Manager Read full review	Yardi Yardi Breeze's customer support is outstanding. Whether it be on the phone, through email, online webinars, or just the help menu, Yardi Breeze's support is unmatched. Incentivized JA Joseph Alessandro Vice President of Finance Read full review
Implementation Rating	RealPage I cannot rate this since I was not part of that process Incentivized PJ Paul Joslin HOA Property Manager Read full review	Yardi No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	RealPage 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. Incentivized Jennifer Ryan, CAM, CAPS Property Manager Read full review	Yardi Yardi Breeze is Yardi Voyager's little brother. Yardi Breeze is more streamlined and easier to use that Voyager. Both Yardi programs always met the needs of my organization. When I switched companies, the first question I was ask was, which property management software do you prefer? My answer was Yardi Breeze and always will be Yardi Breeze. Incentivized JA Joseph Alessandro Vice President of Finance Read full review
Return on Investment	RealPage Buildium absolutely saves time. Having all of our management systems in one place is almost beyond a value at this point because it’s the basic requirement of running an effective property management company.
