How easy is Appfolio to use for someone who has never used it?

I personally found it very user friendly.

Shanna Lynn good to know! Thank you.

Easy breezy cover girl!

Shelley Sexton Shaw thank you!

Very easy. Don't stress yourself like I did thinking it would be hard. It's not hard at all.

Barbie Garcia so good to know. Starting new job and that is what they use.

SO EASY! Very user friendly!

Raelynn Henson thank you so much!

Very easy. Everything is self-explanatory

Lauren Michelle thank you. Makes me feel better.

It’s easy!

Donje Putnam thank you!

Super easy

Very user friendly. The training videos help too!

Diana Creason Thank you

It's fine. But it's not very intuitive, it's very bulky. But it's usable. Nowhere near as bad as Yardi, but still not as good as Entrata.

Brandon Payton Explain bulky ? Why entrada better ?

Joy Arsham Anzalone in appfolio, every link takes to you a different web page. In Entrata, it opens pop ups instead. So you constantly have to go back and forth between pages, which takes more time. The resident/prospect messaging system in Entrata is better as well with merge fields and multiple template options. Work orders are not logged into the resident file in appfolio, but the unit file instead for some reason. To me, it's steps and efficiency. The lesser the number of steps, the better. The number of steps in Entrata is less than any other software I've used.

Brandon Payton Thanks Brandon. This will sound like a dumb question but what is difference with unit file and resident file ?

Brandon Payton remember you can always right click and open in a new window!

Nicki Ryder Hall I know, it's just more steps.

Joy Arsham Anzalone exactly. In appfolio there are resident files and unit files. I don't need unit history, I need resident history. It's just a little clunky.

Brandon Payton Is unit history like an asset page to track capital ( appliances carpet etc ?)

Joy Arsham Anzalone I wish. If I want to look at resident service request history, I have to research in other locations than the actual resident file. Also, when converting an applicant to an approved future resident, the applicant history does not move to the new resident file, it's kept in the prospect file instead. I should be able to see the entire history in one place, not multiple places.

Resman is King

Chefs kiss. search bar will be your bestie.

I’ve used them all!!!! Appfolio is super user friendly and very forgiving. I love it!

VERY!

How does it compare to Realpage? And how to Resman and Entrada?

Like most things. Very dependent on the aptitude of the user. In general it is pretty intuitive interface.

Very very easy.

EZ

If you have used any property management software before it is the easy to navigate.
