Chose Yardi Voyager
Both products have pros and cons, similar to the comment shared previously YARDI provides additional items as part of the base license - versus many items in the Realpage suite requires additional license (e.g. cost) to optimize use. If what is included in a YARDI Voyager …
Onesite was broken, a lot. Yardi Voyager has been a much more stable platform. We have been operational for 3 years now and I cannot say that we have had any software downtime in 3 Years. But with Onesite, it was common to be down at least once a month for something that was …
OneSite Leasing and Rents is great for a decent-sized portfolio for all property management industries. While I currently use it for the Student Housing sector, I could see it doing the same functions in a Conventional and/or Senior space. I would not say OneSite is suitable for small property management businesses.
Yardi Voyager is best suited for users in the multifamily and commercial real estate space, and can be used across a wide range of employee roles, including management, leasing, maintenance, operations, asset management, ownership, and more. On the leasing side, Yardi Voyager is best paired with either Yardi CRM or Yardi CRM IQ (Yardi's newest feature program), as they bring a more robust CRM product that helps with managing prospects and residents. Yardi Voyager houses operations for the majority of integrations across a wide range of industries and vendors, and it comes highly recommended by those industries and vendors when it comes to use of APIs and cross functionality
The out-of-box reports are comprehensive and dynamic, in that you can drill down into specific data columns to see more detail.
The setup of properties is simple and intuitive, and not that different from other multifamily software competitors, which helped with the transition.
The residential Manager dashboard hosts a great snapshot of the property management performance of a property in real-time. It is easy to locate current occupancy, leasing activity, and maintenance request data.
Limited accessibility - Various functions are only available through Internet Explorer.
Reporting errors - Lately OneSite has experienced several errors within their reporting that have taken a decent amount of time to where it is affected business operations.
Customer service - OneSite's general customer service line could use some overall improvement in the process it takes to resolve routine issues.
In my experience there's a fairly steep learning curve for a new user to be able to navigate the system
While there's diverse functionality, many items seem buried in menus or obscure places, particularly the first time you're trying to find them
Getting used to the refresh functionality in some parts of the system can be challenging if you're used to a system that automatically updates when new filters are applied
We have invested 5 years of setup, implementation and training on Voyager. It's doing a very good job for us and I feel we've only scratched the surface of its capabilities. Yardi support has been very responsive with very little down time. The training materials are great from Client Central
Overall it is a reliable and relatively easy product to utilize. No Property Management Software is simple to implement, so a return on investment is delayed and care should be made to ensure that this platform does everything you need for it to do. Experience and knowledge in SQL programming language is helpful, as there are many SQL reports and scripts available to be able to better utilize the software. It takes time to find the ones useful and the ones that resolve hiccups.
The support could use several improvements overall. Often times the agents you are speaking to go through a really slow and tedious troubleshooting process and when you attempt to explain what you've already tried, they still insist you begin at the beginning. The support you get doesn't always match the problem you are trying to solve and they have no online chat option available which is difficult when trying to resolve an issue and not having the time to spend on hold on the phone.
The local office is very knowledgeable, however recently it seems that Yardi has begun to route calls offshore and the knowledge base there does not seem to be as strong as the USA based support centers. All customizations are done by offshore personnel, which presents issues in terms of the language barrier and time zone differences.
If you are converting from another system, grouping your properties by subsidy type seemed to help us. We were able to focus on a half dozen properties at a time, rather than the entire portfolio.
I have only ever used a company made software and Yardi (for a short time). So I'm not too familiar with other software applications. However, in my experience, they all seem to operate very similarly. Most of the reporting and basic functions need to be universal for daily operations. Outside of that, I feel each has an equal amount of pros and cons to their software.
Citrix and Argus are property management tools that each fill a function. Citrix is used to track real time payments, while Argus is used for modeling and cash flow analysis. Yardi combines many of the features between the two. Though it is more difficult to use, fully integrating Yardi into a company could save time and money and standardize many of the finance operations of Real Estate asset management firms.
Plugin in updates are a pain point. I think when Yardi has updates that they should have vetted it and that us the client shouldn't have to test thousands of plugins to see what is different. Just leaving the information on client central for the end user to look at, at their leisure is in my opinion not the best way to handle, you should send out updated white papers to the SPOCS to let them know what changes are coming.
