Entrata vs. storEDGE by Storable

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.

A great feature or system would be the ability to handle all our operations, taskings within storEDGE's software. The ability to task accounting, operations, or facility managers would be an all in one stop.

• Sometimes, some of our customers won't require a follow-up but there isn't an option to opt them out of follow-ups but the leads will still appear.
• Access. 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.

Incentivized

• The utilization of a referral system within the software.
• A more consistent outcome with automated delinquency stages from storEDGE to mail to the post office to the renter.
• Having an API built out with some of the real estate based task managers.
• The ability to subtract security deposits in delinquency mailings for compliance with various State Lien Laws.

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.

storEDGE has a very user-friendly interface. Customer support is available for general inquiries and responsive. The possibility exists for creating custom business solutions with their staff. They continually hold webinars, release improvements, new features, etc. It removes a lot of tasks that would be time-consuming for the operations staff.

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.

This is the only storage software I've utilized.

• Entrata has helped keep our budgeting in order and has made it simple to generate financial reports.

Incentivized

• A real-time look at the status of facilities is invaluable to our organization.
• Great tracking of delinquencies from the start through the auction process.
• As previously iterated, an integrated task management system would make the software the best.
