TenantCloud vs Hostfully Property Management Platform: Which is a better fit?

Alex: My name's Alex, and I am a property manager for Picking Enterprise LLC. We've been using TenantCloud and give it a five out of five. So we use TenantCloud for a variety of tasks, to track rental balances, late fees, maintenance requests, how we're doing with the maintenance request, as well as balances with contractors, tax bills and inventory in each of the properties we manage. We like most about TenantCloud, that it's available on mobile apps. When we're traveling, we still manage a portfolio, that there's a seamless connection with our residents, and the residents feel like we're right around the corner when we may be halfway around the world. Right, so one of the opportunities we found with TenantCloud is the fork in the road for customer service. TenantCloud asks for ideas or to submit a ticket for help. And our trouble tickets have been awesome. We get turnaround, feedback, it's delightful. One of the growing edges and opportunities for TenantCloud is with the submission of ideas, because the ideas are submitted, but the turnaround time on the tweaks with the software seems to be a little longer, and the turnaround on ideas seems to be beyond the reach of the customer service representatives. They say they have to kick it over, kick it up to programmers, which is understandable, but it is a little less elegant than the rest of the parts of TenantCloud. So that's an opportunity for TenantCloud to grow.

Holbrook: Hello, my name's Holbrook. I am the owner of Casa Encanto, which is short-term rental. And Hostfully is my property management system. And I give Hostfully a five-star review. I use Hostfully for their digital guidebook, but then I have them integrate my other OTAs, the booking.com, Vrbo and Airbnb. And I'm working on Google Travel or Google Vacations. And they then send out automated automatic messages to my guests. I use it for my calendar. I have another app, PriceLabs I use for my pricing. And then I'm going to start using Hostfully's direct booking site more. And I think that's where I need help with setting up social media. The thing that has impressed me right from the get-go with Hostfully is the attention they pay to customer support. Right from the beginning, the people that I've interacted with have been both very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and have been able to take a newcomer and a relatively old newcomer to the short-term rental business through the whole process. And anytime I have any question or issue, they get back to me in a timely manner. And so I've been very, very happy with them. Well, as a professor, long time retired professor, I've had to do hundreds of letters of recommendation or phone interviews for candidates. And the question that always stumps me is, what do I like least about a candidate or what their weaknesses are because we always tend to pay attention to the negative as opposed to the positive. And so I think with Hostfully, sometimes it gets a little complicated going through, setting up everything. But that having been said, they have a lot of videos, they've instituted a Hostfully University that has courses. And so even in that relative weakness or something that I don't like, I still find that Hostfully addresses that.
