Yardi Breeze Reviews

Pros

I appreciate Yardi Breeze because it's straightforward to understand, and the accounts payable and receivable are intuitive.

Cons

I wish there were more options for generating reports. The lack of reporting features is a drawback.

Pros

The Rent Cafe resident payment portal is great for rent collection tracking and property accounting. It also offers online applications and screening.

Cons

The accounting modules are mediocre. Improvements could be made to enhance the intuitiveness of tenant rent, cafe, and resident onboarding.

Pros

Integrating with the platform initially was a breeze, and the continuous updates over the past two years have transformed it into an incredibly user-friendly experience. I commend the commitment to consistently enhancing features, and it's genuinely satisfying to witness the product evolve and improve.

Cons

However, the aspect I like the least is the current state of AD HOC reports. As someone who has used integrated reports from Yardi Genesis (1996-2010s), I've noticed missing key functionalities in the current AD HOC reports. I believe that once these features are implemented and perfected, Yardi Breeze will truly be unparalleled. I look forward to ongoing improvements.

Pros

The check printing feature is my favorite aspect of YARDI. It eliminates the need for preprinted checks.

Cons

I'm unable to run reports based on specific dates. Financial statements are only available at the end of the month.

Pros

What I value the most is the seamless combination of usability and productivity offered through the dashboard. The intuitive interface and sleek design make navigating and using the platform effortless, whether you're new to property management or experienced in the field. It's highly user-friendly. Additionally, the platform's extensive range of features covers various property management tasks, from tenant screening to financial reporting. This versatility allows me to centralize and streamline my property management processes, significantly boosting productivity. The automation features are a game-changer as they reduce manual work and the risk of errors. Consequently, my daily tasks become more efficient, leaving me with more time for other important activities. Another standout feature is the ability to customize the dashboard, tailoring it to display the most relevant information and tasks for my specific needs, which enhances efficiency in my day-to-day work. Yardi Breeze's exceptional customer support and training resources ensure that I can maximize the platform's potential, and its scalability and integration options mean it can grow alongside my business. In summary, what I appreciate most about Yardi Breeze is that it offers a professional, user-friendly, and efficient solution for property management, making my job easier and more productive.

Cons

I have no drawbacks to mention. I'm unsure how to respond to this question.

Pros

Yardi provides easily understandable tutorials, a few weeks of personalized one-on-one assistance for setup support, and continuous follow-up calls and touchpoints to ensure a smooth experience without any issues.

Cons

It would be helpful to have a one-pager FAQ document with common troubleshooting issues during the initial setup, instead of relying on Help or Chat repeatedly. Additionally, I've been facing an issue with a specific report for months, and despite contacting four people at Yardi, no one seems to be able to figure out the cause.

Pros

It's easy to use, and correcting errors on the journal is effortlessly manageable.

Cons

Still trying to get assistance with a custom report.

Pros

I have no complaints. However, if I had to choose one thing, it's the "cool" name.

Cons

The current version is even worse than the previous one. I would prefer to use the older version.

Pros

Almost all the features are intuitive and user-friendly. If any glitches occur, the customer service is helpful.

Cons

Printing certain reports, like tenant information, results in printing the entire screen. We have to manually copy and paste it onto another document.

Pros

There's nothing negative to mention, but if I had to highlight one thing, it would be the "cool" name.

Cons

EVERYTHING!!! Coming from using Site Link and YARDI Centershift, YARDI Breeze is a significant disappointment in almost all areas, especially when it comes to self-storage functions.

Pros

I appreciate the ease of use and the tutorials that guide you through the functions.

Cons

Lack of communication regarding service outages is a concern.

Pros

One aspect I like is that it is a web-based program.

Cons

We have encountered numerous issues while using Breeze services. It's challenging to get support, and their response time is often several days. Our conversion did not go smoothly, and we have been facing ongoing issues ever since.

Pros

It's really simple to set up lease information, making it a breeze to create and distribute monthly rent/CAM invoices to tenants.

Cons

It would be convenient if the cursor automatically appeared in the first data box when opening a data entry screen, eliminating the need to click each time. I prefer using keyboard shortcuts, so having to rely on the mouse feels like a waste of time. Better options for organizing attachments, such as data folders, would be helpful instead of trying to come up with a naming system. We received minimal training on Breeze during the initial implementation, leaving me feeling unaware of many features that were not adequately explained. It was a trial by fire.

Pros

Yardi is incredibly straightforward. You can effortlessly track each property individually, per selected property, or as a whole. Unlike our previous use of Quickbooks, Yardi Breeze offers a multitude of uncomplicated and user-friendly features.

Cons

There have been several instances where strange errors would occur, usually during or after a new update.

Pros

It's user-friendly. Tracking month-to-month progress and handling payments is a breeze.

Cons

Some reports are not easily generated, and it takes time to connect with customer support over the phone, which incurs additional charges.

Pros

I find everything about it great, from the monthly financials report to AP & AR.

Cons

To ensure the deposit reaches our bank account within 5-7 business days, I recommend changing the deposit date.

Pros

I appreciate how easy it is to track tenant payments and maintenance requests.

Cons

What I like the least about Breeze is that it's designed more for property owners than property managers. This means I have to spend extra time adjusting expenses in Yardi Breeze to pay the owner instead of the management company. It creates additional work and leads to questions on the owners' monthly statements.

Pros

The property management features seem to work well.

Cons

Bank reconciliations pose a challenge, and the provided reports are not useful.

Pros

The new software has an appealing look. The larger formatting makes it easy to understand and discover available options. The software support has been exceptional as well. Collaborating with the team to set up the program has truly made it a "breeze."

Cons

In terms of functionality, there are some shortcomings. It's difficult to find the exact information I need, and constant updates are required instead of the fields remaining untouched when unnecessary. At this stage, it should be much easier to use than it currently is.

Pros

I absolutely love the program's simplicity and user-friendly nature. The integration process was also incredibly easy, and the exceptional Yardi team provided invaluable assistance! They are my heroes!

Cons

I wish I had better access to Rent Cafe. With Voyager, I had more straightforward access and could assist tenants in a much simpler manner.
