AppFolio or Any other PM software?

[Ravi K.]

Hello BP, I am in the process of finalizing the AppFolio as the PM software for my in-house PM team (100 unit MFR) and wanted to hear any negatives from others who have implemented this software very recently (Ideally 2015 or late 2014; Note that they have added lot of functionality very recently including Alerts/reminders etc).

I think Appfolio is the best cloud based solution that I found so far with fixed monthly all-inclusive fee ($200/month, yes bit expensive for 100 units today!...I am fine with this as I would be buying another 100 in next 6 months!). I did attend demo's for Propertyware, Rent Manager, Yardi - most of these are not that user friendly although they are bit more flexible in-terms of providing custom functionality, but get's expensive with all those optional modules! Appfolio has all what I need including various Rent collection methods, dealing with maintenance work orders, mobile inspections, applicant tracking, vacancy marketing etc as bundle package. 

I want to know if there are any major negatives with AppFolio if you have deployed this very recently so I can revisit my decision before I sign-up in the next couple of days and spend more time evaluating other software (potentially Propertyware/Rent Mgr...Any others?).

Thanks in advance.

PS: It does not look like there are any special offers / discounts with this software...Looks like just pay $200/month + $400 one time fee to get this done...Any tips on this area?
