Likelihood to Recommend In Real Estate sales and property management, Dotloop will be your best friend. When you need clients or tenants to sign a lease or a contract, sending through dotloop is extremely easygoing and keeps everything organized pertaining to what you name the loop. I think I speak for my whole office when I say that without dotloop, our lives would be a disorderly mess, and we would find ourselves losing papers and becoming confused. Dotloop really helps our office like no other and has great support along the way!
Read full review Entrata isn't perfect, but it is heads and shoulders above its competitors. They consistently respond to customer needs and continually add to their suite of services. The platform is attractive and was built for Google Chrome from the get-go, unlike some competitors that were stuck on Internet Explorer for years and years. That might not mean much to some, but I think it exemplifies that Entrata puts user experience first. It has a robust array of functions and I'm happy to use it. For email marketing, Entrata is great. If you market by text message, Entrata is probably not your best bet. Customers are opted out of texts by default, so we've had to explore other avenues for mass text communications.
Read full review Pros Dotloop has a great user interface. The features that seem small but are a huge help such as automatically scrolling to where the person needs to review and sign is very creative. It has been great to be able to pull documents from the app on a mobile device to a web browser on a desktop. It is very easy to organize documents (add, remove, arrange, edit, etc.) Read full review Integration of lead-generation database with a website. Ease of communication with apartment residents via email marketing, text, and web messaging. Streamlined invoice and purchase management. Standard website CMS functionality. Unlimited file and asset storage in the cloud. Read full review Cons The viewing could be a bit more user friendly when opening from different types of devices. It would be nice if there was an alert that clients don't need to try to login when opening a document since they don't have an account.

Some of the things that should be accessible to all team members aren't (creating templates, saving signatures, or seeing credit screening details) and putting in a ticket or asking for permission can be time-consuming. Read full review Usability While the admin and setup involve a learning curve, the ease of use for clients, even for complete novices to online document signing, makes Dotloop perfect as far as usability goes. We almost never have issues with clients signing documents or issues with lost/misplaced documents. It is made for people who have never signed an online document before.

Read full review I've used Entrata with three companies, all of whom have had an in-house liaison to the company. Consequently, I haven't had to work directly with Entrata support on very many occasions. However, I have personally seen feature requests added to the platform in a timely manner. That kind of service is rare in this industry.

Read full review Entrata is completely cloud-based and provides much more integrated functionality, but fewer custom features. Also, Entrata's UI could be greatly improved. Overall, Entrata's API is more open and allows for more third-party integrations and ILS connectivity over time than its competitors. Combining the marketing portal (website, email marketing, SMS) with leasing management (renter invoices, rent collection, late fees, move in/move out checklists) provides for a unique, bundled service platform.
