It is more friendly to use with owner and tenant alike and offered us more information to provide to our owners that rely on us to manage their rental units." — Tammy M., Property Manager (November 17, 2023) ### [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) - 4.5 out of 5 (2,234 reviews) — 16 reviewers switched here > "Well with a bit of trepidation initially feeling forced to decide at the time. Then smaller landlords were required by Propertware to consider another program. I looked at many options but ultimately landed with Buidlium. I loved Propertyware and found Buildium even easier to use and just as fully featured as I was accustomed to and better value too- it was a most excellent decision. When it came to time to sell property, nothing supports value better than accurate critical property management and lease info digital form all which can be easily accessed for the Buyer. That alone helps support max property sale value. Then the Buyer upon purchase became so impressed with Buildium that he onboarded because he realized my residents were used to a highly sophisticated management platform and anything less would mean he risk resident retention, losing the trust and confidence the Buildium program helps landlords install in each resident." — VINCENT F., Owner (March 23, 2026) ### [DoorLoop](https://www.capterra.com/p/211768/DoorLoop/) - 4.8 out of 5 (714 reviews) — 4 reviewers switched here > "This was my suggestion. We needed it for better accounting features and user friendly options. I am sure propertyware did what we needed however it wasn't user friendly to the whole team. We want to eventually be able to get rid of quickbooks all together and pay owners out of doorloop. We are hoping with the continued expansions that doorloop has underway this will be possible." — Sarah B., Property Manager (September 28, 2023) ### [Yardi Breeze](https://www.capterra.com/p/164741/Yardi-Breeze/) - 4.2 out of 5 (334 reviews) — 3 reviewers switched here > "no customer support, not user friendly, didn't deliver enough of what we needed." — Amber J., Broker, General Manager (September 11, 2025) --- ## Find software for your specific use case ### Property Management - [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) — 4.5 out of 5 (2,234 reviews) - [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) — 4.5 out of 5 (1,892 reviews) - [Payscore](https://www.capterra.com/p/171778/Payscore/) — 4.9 out of 5 (21 reviews) ### Real Estate Property Management - [DoorLoop](https://www.capterra.com/p/211768/DoorLoop/) — 4.8 out of 5 (714 reviews) - [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) — 4.5 out of 5 (1,892 reviews) - [Yardi Breeze](https://www.capterra.com/p/164741/Yardi-Breeze/) — 4.2 out of 5 (334 reviews) ### Property Management Accounting - [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) — 4.5 out of 5 (2,234 reviews) - [Sage Intacct](https://www.capterra.com/p/76/Intacct/) — 4.3 out of 5 (716 reviews) - [Yardi Voyager](https://www.capterra.com/p/33832/Yardi-Voyager/) — 4.2 out of 5 (257 reviews) ---
