There's no perfect software. Figure out what your "need" is and then try out various software to see which one meets your needs the best. Best practice is to practice using each version to market a property, process an application, receive rent, enter/track maintenance, run owner statements, etc. See which one comes out on top and lock it in.

After a year or so of experience, you may discover some shortfalls in the software. Go through the process again and see if there's anything better out there that meets your needs.

Try to avoid chasing the shiny object. It's real easy to be attracted by a new feature, but then you go through the process of transitioning and find out it has other flaws.
