Entrata vs. Guesty

As an all-in-one solution (website, email marketing, SMS, online inventory management, leasing data, renter management), Entrata is very effective and provides solid integration with ILS (internet leasing services like Apartments.com and Zillow) for pushing out data updates. However, Entrata's website solution is turnkey, and lacks customization features standard in any generic CMS, requiring a redesign and new site template to just add new content.

Not necessarily not appropriate but could be better overall As stated, the chat/messaging function, locating canceled reservations, warning users when a feature is being changed and actually provide a training even if it's steps or a quick video I know I can find it in the help center it just should have been provided up front. We shouldn't have to go looking for things.

• I send customer communications almost exclusively through Entrata because everything ports into a customer activity log. It's simple and great for record keeping.
• Invoices and payments can be handled from start to finish within Entrata. Expenses port directly into the property budget, allowing users to make informed buying decisions.
• Within Entrata, a prospective customer can move from expressing initial interest to applying, signing a lease, and eventually renewing a lease. All documents and activity are housed within that customer's profile. It is the cleanest and most efficient method of leasing that I've encountered.

• Website editing and content customization.
• The user interface could be much more user-friendly and intuitive. Tools are disjointed, and some reports and integrations are several click-layers deep and not as accessible as they should be.
• The integration with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for event tracking on-site is severely limited and lacking.

This was a ten before the calendar update. The calendar update was rolled out poorly. There was no warning, one day it was just different and we had to relearn how to use it with no guide or reference. This really could have been done better and more efficiently. A simple email

I've used Entrata with three companies, all of whom have had an in-house liaison to the company. Consequently, I haven't had to work directly with Entrata support on very many occasions. However, I have personally seen feature requests added to the platform in a timely manner. That kind of service is rare in this industry.

The one competitor with whom I have significant experience is OneSite. Simply put, Entrata is better at every single thing. It has a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing interface. It is more intuitive. It functions better in more browsers. It has more property management tools and more functions available to customers.

• Entrata has helped keep our budgeting in order and has made it simple to generate financial reports.

• Since using Guesty we are seeing a lower response time due to the chat feature. It takes about 25 mins for us to reply simply bc we don't see them until we refresh. We like response time to be 10 mins
• We've also had a 25% increase in owner communication since owners are having trouble with the calendar
• Overall though 30% increase in bookings due to having multiple platforms in one
