Pros

“I use it internationally, and it doesnt have options for multiple currencies , i have to switch all accounts to euros, and back to dollars, depending on what account and property. ”
DB

David B.

Manager

“I wish it had better options for expanding our business, as we are moving from only house and apartments to motels and hotels as well and Buildium doesn't have great option for that, so we will have to switch some of our properties when we find another option for those.”
AR

Owner

Cons

“The reports are very boiler plate and require you to download them as an Excel in order to Change the names manually in excel reather than having customizable options.”
AN

Ally N.

Condominum Manager

“My only complaint is that we use Buildium for a commercial portfolio, one of our strip malls has separate fire (street) numbers for each unit.”
CD

Cassandra D.

“In Canada we use the words Strata or Condominium ... but everything is the program is "Association" and many of the verbage in reporting is also "association" which is confusing for clients.”
