Covercy
Your customer service is the best part about Covercy. I love having a contact person that is responsive and helpful. Even if Covercy doesn't have a feature that we would like or need, we are always given workarounds or suggestions on alternative solutions. Our suggestions for portal improvements are always considered and being worked on by the development team. Covercy is working on improving the customer and investor experience

Dynamo Software
Customer Service, Project Managers and our personal contact have been exceptional. Since the software is able to do so much and there are so many options the Dynamo team has been invaluable to us. Our company would not have been able to double in size over the last 4 years if it wasn't for Dynamo Software.

Pros
Covercy
  • $3 Million in FDIC Insurance Account protection is unsurpassed and highly attractive to our project managers and investors.
  • The Onboarding of over 100 investors was simple and efficient using a spreadsheet import.
  • The Technical Staff was very helpful and supportive during our startup phase and handled project startup delays beautifully.
  • Covercy was able to handle member payouts that involved compilcated and varied bonus structures and 15 different income generating assets with varied investor contributors and we had great support in figuring out how to handle the profit distributions.
  • The Covercy Account Managers were highly professional and a pleasure to work with.

Dynamo Software

Cons
Covercy
  • We need our investors to log in and see what offerings they are invested in.
  • There is no way to add documents/photos in an organized manner.
  • As a debt fund, we want to be able to showcase our offerings to our LP Portals.

Dynamo Software
  • Some functionality is clunky: Mailing Campaigns, Passthrough Integration, Dynamo Accounting Complex Transactions. At times it seems functionality is rolled out too soon.
  • Onboarding of new clients for us seems a bit haphazard. We just added a new tenant with CRM, Dynamo Accounting and the Investor Portal and we weren't exactly sure what the state of the new tenant should be based on what was copied over from a prior tenant or how much Dynamo Software time or support we would have to customize the new tenant.
  • At times it seems Dynamo Software's terminology with relationships either isn't intuitive or is repetitive creating additional time/confusion when modifying workspaces, portal set-up, etc.

Dynamo Software
I give it this rating because I think it could be easier to use. While there are sooo many different ways to use the software, it can be very intimidating and confusing, even when you feel confident in what you know how to do. I feel like everytime I want to add something new or do something out of our norm I have to ask for help

Reliability and Availability
Covercy
Our experience has been excellent so far. The only hiccup that we have had happen was when we were testing our signed document and signature process and the document wasn't initially sending. We figured out why it wasn't sending and were able to correct that issue in a very timely manner.

Covercy
I believe that Covercy is the only solution that is currently allowing Real Estate firms to distribute funds to their investors directly through the platform. Also, both other solutions are pretty expensive compared to the reasonable pricing that Covercy has in place (function of a number of properties rather than AuM or other methods).

Dynamo Software makes the most sense from a cost perspective for available offerings to our clients. The integration between the CRM, Accounting module and investor portal. We also appreciate the ability to customize the investor portal to the client's request all within the same license.

Return on Investment
Covercy
  • The ROI I can provide is for time management. It saves us at least 2 days' worth of work each quarter on capital distributions alone, and at least 30 minutes on each report distribution. Not to mention the amount of time it saves us on fielding client questions regarding their capital because they can just log in and see everything on their portal.
