### "Powerful, easy to use"

June 29, 2020

5.0

Pros

Good, easy-to-use system for all core functions of multifamily property management. Flexible enough that you can build your company's workflow around it. Excellent knowledge base and chat support.

Cons

1) They don't expose APIs which makes it hard for third party services to interoperate. I assume this is a deliberate strategic choice, but it is one drawback vs. Yardi. 2) Their CRM for leasing is pretty basic, and we're exploring third party solutions because this is a mission-critical function and we need best-in-breed.

### "Property Manager "

October 7, 2019

5.0

I love it.

Pros

Easy to use, just like an email. Very easy to pull report. Most important, you don' need too much time training to use the Appfolio. Very good for property manager who manage 100 unit or lower.

Cons

Work order, i needs to be more detail. Maintenance are confuse when tenant put in work order. For example light burn out. It need to remind tenant to where is the light burn out. kithcen, living or bedroom. Other wise maintenance will be in the apartment, turn all the light on to trouble shoot where it was to replace.

It's been mostly easy to get in and through all parts of Appfolio. Appreciate the friendliness of the program.

Pros

Ease in client management.... Notes, payments, deposits and maintenance

Cons

We print all payment receiepts. Would like to click a box at the side of all receipts wanting to print and print them all at once.

### "The best CRM system for Property Managers"

March 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

The software is super friendly user. I love the fact that everything is in one place.

Cons

Some features I would like to see added are the options to change/edit the history summary especially when we make a simple mistake and we are not able to make a quick change. I would like for there to be added options to customize to our individual company needs. One example I could share is the fact that some of the properties I manage have and HOA and there is not section in the Properties tab which I can enter that information.

### "AppFolio Property Management software"

October 12, 2020

5.0

Overall it is good property management software. We could not do our business without software like this.

Pros

Integrated applications, screening, move in, move out and financials

Cons

Some of the accounting entries are not as intuitive as they could be. Need to call for support and then wait sometimes a week for help.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

Liked the overall package and help getting all old data imported.

### "Appfolio Pros and Cons"

November 1, 2017

4.0

I could not be happier with Appfolio. I have been in property management for a long time and I have used a wide range of management software programs. The more expensive programs offer some very nice features but they only work if you run the system the way they want you to run the system. Every company is different and their procedures do not always align with the way that they design the programs. Appfolio is easy to work with and you are able to implement a work around quite easily.

Pros

The program is basic making it easy to build your per-existing procedures around the system. Many of the other management software programs make it nearly impossible to find a work around.

Cons

I would suggest they have a better way of controlling what people have access to. The levels of clearance jump quite dramatically.

October 4, 2019

Your survey didn't have the correct industry listed for us. We are property management

Pros

Great customer service, ease of use, like the way the reports look.

Cons

Having to click so many times to print a report

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

Online based and suited us best for our needs and the price at that time was fair

### "I Love this program"

November 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

This program is very user friendly. I love that you can text one resident or everyone. When you send and email it records and saves all texts and notes. Making deposits and move in's are really easy to use and train.

Cons

Some of the information like car license plates. You can input the information, however there is no report specific to run a report for them. There is no where to put service animals with a report all service animals.

August 27, 2019

5.0

Pros

Whats not to like? Great customer service in case you make a mistake, ease of use, reports,

Cons

Wish I could change the owner statement emails to mention the property they are being emailed for - if you have one owner that owns 15 different properties they get lost

September 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

This is a toss up between ease of use and the great staff at Appfolio. Appfolio is quick to assist you with problems you might be having and they are always making improvements to the software.

Cons

It's a bit pricey relative to their competitors.

September 19, 2019

5.0

The staff at Appfoilio have been so very helpful when I call with a question. I like how I can see what all staff members are doing and how efficient all are, and if I need to make any changes.

Pros

all the reports easily assailable, looking up information and inputting bills is very convenient.

Cons

I need more training and more time to learn my way around to get the full use of the software.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

It had all the things our manager was looking for !

Once the transition all our data to the new software was complete we could not believe how much time we were saving in our daily work.

Pros

How easy it was to quickly adapt to using the software.

Cons

At this time I have not found anything.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

Great presentation and follow up. Willing to work with what we were looking for and needed in a new software.

### "Good most of the time"

October 9, 2018

5.0

It has made my life a little easier after I have learn a little about it but it is a work in progress. I still have so much to learn and I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a lot to learn and so stuff you don't use it a lot so you forget how to do it. Receipts are so easy and the application process is easy to. I love the tenants portal because they can go on their and send in maintenance request without having to call the office all the time.

Pros

I love the ease of the application and then moving in a tenant. I love how easy it is to collect money and print out receipts. I also love that the tenants have a portal where they can make payments and put in Maintenance request. I like that it can screen for background check and credit.

Cons

Finding somethings are hard and the help button doesn't seem to have what you are looking for and if it does, it doesn't make any since. I hate that sometimes when I need help I can reach anybody by phone but I can say they are getting better in this than a year ago.

### "Appfolio Review"

April 17, 2018

I find Appfolio to be a leader in this industry and a breath of fresh air. Appfolio has a group of young engineers who listen to their client needs. This speaks volumes about their wiliness to make the changes that best suite the property management industry. Keep up the good work Appfolio!!

Pros

They are consistently updating and making new innovative changes to the program. Very user friendly, very little issues with glitches or down time. Great Customer Service. Best on the market in my opinion

Cons

Reporting formats need some improvements. File functions need to have folders as well, to allow us to file property and tenant information by subjects. Shorten the steps to printing (way to many clicks to actually print a document) Improve the Commercial side of Appfolio.

Great experience so far. Really helped me organize my business.

Pros

I love AppFolio. It really helped me organize my business. It is easy to use and the user interface is very pleasant.

Cons

I wish they update it a little more quickly. There are some features that are missing. However, they do update it and add new features on a regular basis.

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

It was recommended to me and I heard that it was the leading product in the industry.

### "Awesome software that fits the property management industry needs"

November 4, 2017

5.0

It would be great to be able to screen my new hire employees backgrounds through this software. I have to put them in as users in the program anyway, and instead of paying an outside source to screen them I could do all my screening through one place.

Pros

I love all the different reports that can be run to help me keep up with what is going on within my staff. I also love that it is very user-friendly and easy to train new employees on

Cons

The accounting is somewhat hard to understand. I really wish that Appfolio would give seminars or in person classes that we could attend to help us learn and navigate the accounting side of it. I would pay for it! The owner reports have gotten better with enhanced report! However, the other accounting I just wing it.

Has been a great investment for our company and with our expansion into other real estate it has allowed us to grow without any hiccups

Pros

Ease to move people in and out , send leases and applications no need to have anyone stop in office, clients can pay online which makes it much simpler for them too

Cons

The only part that was hard was all the intial setup but they helped us thru it all, just alot of time to do it but glad we did

### "Easy to figure out"

August 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

I had no training on the software at all, but was able to figure out 95% of what I needed on my own. The remaining 5% was quickly, graciously, and efficiently covered by the AppFolio support team. I have found the support to be my favorite part, actually. They've gone above and beyond to assist me at a time when my bosses (in a different time zone) weren't working yet, but I had a time sensitive need. They've always been clear, concise, and friendly.

Cons

It used to be that tenants couldn't text me a picture and they were ALWAYS trying, but that's been resolved. I cannot find a thing I don't like and they keep on adding features to make it easier to use.

December 9, 2020

5.0

It's great, no issues

Pros

What I enjoy most about this product is the quality of help I receive when I am in a bind or do not understand something about the software or technical issues. Help is fast, detailed and super helpful. They are also very kind.

Cons

It would be very helpful if Zinspector and AF could work together. When we receive notice of online completion of tenants inspections, we have to go to one software and then back to AF to update it. If someone misses this important step, we bother the tenants with scheduling another inspection although it was already completed

Reason for choosing AppFolio Property Manager

What my company uses, It was being used when I joined the company a year ago.
