Pros

“It was a good platform for our first foray into an investor portal, but the missing features quickly made it difficult for us to continue staying with the same platform.”

Tommy H.

General Partner

“IMS saves us so much time on the administrative side as well because of how great the CRM features are, how we can bulk upload K-1s, and distributions and easily email our investors.”

Nicole F.

Investor Relations Associate

“We have been familiar with RealPage as a company from using the Property Management software, so when we were in the market for an Investor Management Software and heard RealPage had just purchased IMS, we were ready to continue the relationship with RealPage.”

Victoria D.

Pros

“For example, unrolling transfers, importing historical data, making bulk updates to historical data.”

Alex Y.

Tax Senior Accountant

“G-mail integration was also a feature I really like that now allows me to search my own e-mails for what I have sent to investors without needing to go into the tool to do so. ”

Eric H.

Principal

“our account based on data we provided, and got the system basically functioning and valuable right away.”

Jaymie D.

Operations Executive

Cons

“The IMS team didn't really seem interested in building these features that their competitors are starting to offer.”

Tommy H.

General Partner

“However, the back office (calculating waterfalls, signing and updating documents) does not work as advertised and we have to do it all manually as before and upload it. ”

Ricardo B.

Principal

“At least three times, we needed to get the help of the data or back end team and I was essentially put on a waiting list each time, which added 2 days before we could get that wrinkle ironed out. ”

Kevin H.

Manager

Cons

“I was a bit intimidated in setting up the system after having tried other CRM / investment management systems and in the past felt it was a lot of work to get to a point where the software was valuable to the business.”

Jaymie D.

Operations Executive

“The reporting capabilities are terrible.”

Mandy A.

Investor Service Representative

“That you cannot email contacts from the Investing Entities Page.”

Jennifer M.

Executive Assistant
