    Chose Dotloop
    I personally feel that Dotloop is much more organized and easier to use. It feels more efficient to use and I have noticed the majority of the people I work with are more aware of Dotloop and trust it more.

    Chose SkySlope
    I find SkySlope easier to use than Dotloop. For instance, it allows us to add a recipient to a signature request, saving time having to forward off a signed document.

    Zillow
    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!

    MRI Software
    Well suited scenario - MRI Residential is obviously good for residential real estate. It doesn't make sense to just plug in industrial, hotel or commercial real estate management as those are different types of products. Those who have access to the cloud can easily download information off site to do an analysis. Less appropriate - Information may need to be scrubbed. For instance, there could be operating statements that are inputted incorrectly because items are miscoded.

    SkySlope is most suited for real estate firm document management. I cannot think of another industry that it would be suited for; it is pretty specific. If you have less than 20-30 transactions a year, it wouldn't probably be worth the money versus just scanning. Our company does ~150 per year, and it saves me so much time. It is great for managing brokers of any sized firm with a fair number of transactions.

    Pros
    Zillow
    • 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.)

    Cons
    Zillow
    • 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.

    • Sometimes the data that is outputted is not consistent (back end of the database is constantly being updated), have to follow up with our client relationship manager
    • Sometimes very rigid
    • Incremental cost to add on information (if we want MRI to host certain documents in the cloud)

    • In my opinion, customer support
    • In my experience, understanding that an effective date is a start date
    • In my opinion, prioritizing customers over greed
    • In my experience, not arguing and fighting with customers
    • In my opinion, finding resolutions and common grounds instead of fighting customers when they are facing difficulties

    Usability
    Zillow
    The Brokers I've connected with that used Dotloop in the past have also had the same issue I had. Their relationship with "thousands" of MLS listing services is not true. No one took responsibility for not communicating this early on. Everyone just pointed the finger at other departments and did absolutely nothing to alleviate the situation.

    To add insult to injury, the system crashes during peak usage, making it near impossible to submit offers promptly. If requested I am more than open to provide the video showing both when the system crashes and the aforementioned issue

    Support Rating
    Zillow
    Good support but onboard training could probably be a bit better as well as documentation. But we rarely need support as the software works flawlessly once you know how to use it. Very happy with support so far and I recommend the product.

    They have a terrible help center and the training tools and videos are useless and not helpful. They need to invest in better training tools and modules for people to refer to. Especially when there is no designated training person within a company to teach newcomers how to use it.

    We had a proprietary access database, but wanted to utilize MRI because of support (annual fee is in the tens of thousands versus a hundred thousand plus build out). The user interface is pretty straight forward, and there is available training as well. Updates are done online via the SAAS website so we don't have to worry about any coding issues here in house.

    SkySlope just has a lot more functionality over this software. All three have a comparable digital signature and templating capabilities. but SkySlope has many additional purposes. I have not found another software like it. Other software I demo-ed was not even close, so SkySlope seems to have the market cornered, but I haven't evaluated again for a couple of years.

    • In our experience, we can't use the system at all as it is overcomplicated

    • In my opinion, waste of energy, time, and money.
