Compliance Department Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smartwebs is great! I hope you continue to develop the software as time goes on! " November 19, 2021 4.0 Overall, I think Smartwebs is amazing and much better than our previous software. If the onboarding process were easier, I would rate 9-10/10 Pros Smartwebs is very user friendly. The overall visual aesthetic of Smartwebs is a huge time saver and makes working in the program incredibly efficient. Cons I wish the software had a more comprehensive note taking section that allowed me to see current notes without adding in things like "violation closed" or had an option to disable viewing of that so the notes don't look as cluttered. I also wish there was a way to sync faster with our Virtual Management Software for situations such as escrow. I also wish there were ways to make the onboarding process quicker, such as AI to allow me to upload governing documents versus having to type them in by hand. Review Source LW Leslie W. Compliance Inspector Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily Grind" November 18, 2021 4.0 Smartwebs is user friendly and for the most part easy to understand. We have a few mapping issues but other than that it usually works. Pros Pretty user friendly. I can find what I am looking for in the search buttons. I would like to be able to have the offline and online open at the same time in the field to do some clean upon the mapping when I am on location. Cons Some of the features seem cut and dry not very flexible and the mapping is a little way off sometimes Reason for choosing Smartwebs What my company offered Review Source KP Kayce P. Property Manager in Charge Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly Recommended! " August 4, 2022 5.0 Overall everything has been awesome! Very easy program to learn quickly. Pros This software is best for organization. The residents can monitor their accounts in demand and management can have l information stored in one database! Super Effective! Cons The software is extremely picky and causes a lot of unnecessary emails between the management and residents. Example- the system won’t pick up Lane vs Ln Reason for choosing Smartwebs Na Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Effectiveness and Offered more for the residents Review Source SS Sanjay S. Portfolio Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs Update" November 29, 2021 5.0 Excellent , no issues Pros Easy and user friendly. I can easily load the date in the system and it is easy to teach to user. Cons Updates are cumbersome to put in. Sometimes it is hard for new users to use. Maybe a training portal for users with minimum technology background. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) Reason for choosing Smartwebs It is easy and user friendly Review Source AC Adriane C. Association Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Compliance" November 18, 2021 4.0 It is definitely a step in the right direction. A few tweaks are needed to make it more functional. Pros In general, the screen to label the compliance letter and add a picture has a good workflow. I like being able to search the letter history. Cons In the compliance software- 1) it would be great to have a place to add community exceptions for an inspection driver. 2) It would be great to be able to add notes for a compliance driver to view- like focus on tree trimming and so on. 3) it would be great to be able to have a list of properties for the compliance driver to review during the inspection. 4) it would be great to be able to run a report to see which notices a compliance driver sent. 5) On busy narrow street, with impatient drivers, it is not easy to get to the address to start labeling the letter. It would be good to be able to take a picture and put it in a holding area, and then assign to an address later. Drive down the street and park and then upload it. 6) adding new compliance letters is not user-friendly. Review Source EG Erin G. Community Relations Coordinator Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SmartWebs and VMS Communication" November 18, 2021 3.0 SmartWebs is great if there are no glitches. Simple things such as correcting language in VMS seems like an unnecessary step. It can be frustrating. But - when all goes well, it goes really well! It's much more efficient to process violations and download a PDF to print from that instead of individually from VMS. Pros SmartWebs makes processing multiple violations easy. As an example, on specific days our inspector checks for recycling and trash receptacles that have been left out. Our community is large - over 2,500 units - and there are times that we issue a large quantity of violations. SmartWebs processes all the violations with ease and we can download the PDF to process and print. An attached photo printed with each violation is extremely helpful too! Cons The communication between VMS and SmartWebs seems a bit off. In sticking with the trash & recycling example, I find that there is a lot of toggling between SmartWebs and VMS to make sure the language matches on the violation we sent to the homeowner. SmartWebs has the tendency to auto-load the text of how the violation reads in a resolution - quite lengthy. In cases like that, we need to cut and paste language into VMS to simple say, "Please keep your trash/recycling receptacles out of sight," or something similar. When there are several violations, that can be time consuming. Review Source AS Amanda S. Director of Homeowner Services Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs HOA Management Use" November 18, 2021 5.0 Overall, Smartwebs has been a great software program. It is incredibly user friendly for someone that is moderately tech savvy, however, we do have several users that complain that it can be difficult to navigate (I think that's directed more towards users that aren't very tech savvy). I appreciate the features that the software offers, but the biggest issue that we have is issues with syncing with our accounting software to make sure the most accurate and up to date information is being used. Pros It is incredibly user friendly and offers many different features Cons Sometimes the HTML or coding in the letters can be difficult to navigate or understand if not familiar with this type of coding. Review Source JM Jo M. CAM Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SmartWebs" August 4, 2022 4.0 I like the fact that I can generate emails to owners for violations and not have to wait until they get a letter delivered by the Post office. Pros The ease to generate violation notices and also ARC requests uploads Cons I find the process to modify anything in the CCR section extremely difficult and your support documents don't have a lot of detailed explanation. I am sure this was covered in the original setup period. But over time and change of managers, I find that cleanup is needed and that is not always an easy process. Reason for choosing Smartwebs Decision was made before I came to work. Review Source DS Dee S. Association Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product!" November 18, 2021 5.0 Pros This software is easy to use. Boards and Committee members have access to view violations and other information at leisure- which puts less stress on management. Customer service is Grade A! Cons Does not allow for daily fine schedules. Review Source PB Paige B. Community Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There is no better way!!! " November 23, 2021 5.0 My overall experience has been wonderful! Pros This is a great program to track violations in the community management field. Makes it super easy to use a and track. There is no other program I would suggest. Cons The set up takes awhile, and doing the back end work is time consuming but totally worth it. Review Source RC Rachel C. Community Associate Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Will not recommend" November 18, 2021 1.0 Not happy Pros I don't like it, it is too time consuming Cons Why would we charge an owner $25.00 or $35.00 to install a $5.00 - $10.00 plant? There are too many steps to do with this process and it was so much easier before. If an owner got a Denial on a project, he has to be charged AGAIN to submit the same project? That is not nice. With 3 board members, I get 3 different answers. Very frustrating to have to email them to have one decision or remind them to go into the system and decide. Some of them have trouble logging in, then it takes time for the Support Dept to see what is occurring, too much time is wasted. Review Source CD Carmen D. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have only one complaint and that is about the categories not being able to be used more than once." November 19, 2021 5.0 I enjoy using Smartwebs and the fact that it is easy to use. Pros I like that I am able to print out reports for the Board of Directors with ease. Cons Again, the only complaint would be that the categories run out after one or two violations. Reason for choosing Smartwebs My Company purchased it. Review Source LR Lilly R. Administrative assistant Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Smartwebs Architecturals" August 25, 2022 5.0 Smartwebs automatically sends the approval or denial letters to the owners without me having to do anything extra. This software is great and I wish all of our communities would use it. Pros I enjoy using the smartwebs Architectural, creating projects , attaching the documents and submitting to ACC for review has never been easier, faster and so much better that the old manual process. I recommend this software to all companies HOA's that have large communities and the integration was smooth. Cons There isn't a feature that I can list as a least favorite for this software at this time. I enjoy using this software and the features available. Review Source MN Melodie N. Community Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs make the one part of my job I hate easier. " November 18, 2021 4.0 Pros The ability to access a property database and send covenant violations on one platform makes covenant drives bearable. Without a product like this, drives would recommend more time and hassle. Cons The ability to upload and place new properties is a difficult process and should be easier. Review Source KS Kathleen S. Association Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy, cost-worthy and efficient!" November 18, 2021 5.0 Before SmartWebs, our company used a spreadsheet to keep up with compliance. As we continued to bring in more doors, the need for a simpler and more effective way to keep up with violations was necessary. SmartWebs allowed for us to send multiple violations while on property. Integration was seamless as it merges with our software, VMS. And we have multiple communities who benefit from it. Pros Easy to find a home address either by typing or viewing on the map Easy to find open violations and view notes while in the field Quick and effortless to send compliance reports to the Board/committee Architectural process is seamless Great to have all notes and backup info in one, easy to search location Cons There is nothing that I do not like about SmartWebs to be quite frank. The system is constantly improving and we're happy with the product. Review Source BO Brandi O. Community Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love this App!!" November 18, 2021 5.0 Helpful! Pros This app allows property managers to easily issue violations while onsite on a property inspection but also issue violations that a Board member may issue while a PM is not onsite. I use the app and I use on my laptop. I can add photos and customize my letters with ease. Cons I don't like not being able to make adjustments to created letters that may have already gone out to reissue corrections. Review Source RM Rosie M. Senior Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs is Amazing! " December 8, 2021 5.0 We have had an amazing experience! Pros This software makes compliance inspections so easy and has cut down on our inspection time. Cons There isn't anything we have found that we don't like. Reason for choosing Smartwebs We did not consider any other products. Switched from [Village Management Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/127303/Village-Management-Software/) VMS was so slow and their web based compliance lagged a lot. We also had trouble connecting most times and couldn't even log in to the site. Review Source SD Susan D. HOA Manager Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "McCormick Woods HOA - Happy Customer " August 9, 2022 5.0 It has been a great experience overall. Any time there have been questions, support staff has been readily available. Pros The interface and ease of working with this software has increased our efficiency greatly. What were previously manual, time consuming tasks are now streamlined, enabling us to process applications and violations with much greater ease. Cons There have not been any noted negatives so far. Review Source JG Jennifer G. Community Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smart Webs ARC & Violations" November 18, 2021 5.0 I love it for the ease of reporting to the Board and am looking forward to getting the work order system in play. Pros SmartWebs violations and ARC are very easy to use and provide an easy way to track projects and violations. There are a variety of reports that can be ran depending on how you need to see the data. Cons Smartwebs offline sometimes crashes when adding a picture out in the property. Review Source BA Brandie A. CAM Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Property Magers opinion" November 23, 2021 4.0 I wish in integrated into the accounting software, other wise I like it Pros Ease for committee members makes my job easier onsite Cons Less email, each step creates unnecessary email for too many people Review Source bP beverley P. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tracking made easy" October 3, 2022 5.0 Good overall. I use it daily for work orders and compliance reporting. Makes my job easier and more accurate. Pros The mapping and tracking features. The mapping allows ease for inputting new work orders and violations while on site. Cons Editing work orders or compliance issues. Review Source CP Christi P. Deed Restrictions Supervisor Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good experience over all" August 4, 2022 4.0 Pros It is user friendly and you are able to start up and run with it quickly Cons It would be great to have a violation close correspondence auto populated Review Source SR Sam R. Sr. Community Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" August 9, 2022 5.0 More productive inspections Pros Ease to use the program after it has been properly setup. Cons Wish integration and member database was more automatic. Review Source RA Rikki A. Administrative Assistant Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Compliance letters" November 29, 2021 5.0 Great program. Pros Smartwebs program is very easy to use. I like that you can queue letters before sending. I like that the program sends the letters via email and regular mail it they do not have an email on file. I like that you can add pictures to the letter as well. Cons When creating the letters, the sub categories I like the least. I also do not like that the letters take so long to be mailed out. Sometime duplicate letters are sent out. Some letters were sent out as final notices for the first letter. Review Source KV Kim V. Community Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Work Smarter with Smartwebs" November 18, 2021 5.0 Attaching pictures with the letters per NRS 116 requirement. Downloading multiple HOA's and just being more efficient. Pros Creating Compliance letters for my HOA's is easy. The software is user friendly and my letters can be customized, for better communication with Homeowners. Cons When I queue a letter, sometimes I get bumped back out to the Community map, and have to get back to my address list again. But after a few clicks, I'm back to where I need to be.
