I was considering using Buildium as the platform for my VA business business, because I use it at the company I work for currently. The recent update has made logging into this platform horrible. Its confusing to log in and their credit screenings freeze. Other than that it was a good platform. But I won't be getting it for .y business.

Buildium support has definitely declined over the years. A Special Assessment required that I request an increase to the ePay/ACH monthly limit. I completed the request and they said it would be processed in 3-5 business days. It’s been over 5 days and I’ve heard nothing. I called and was on hold for 40 minutes. The support person said they could do nothing to check the status nor expedite the process. Yet they gladly take my money every month. Very disappointing.

Absolutely hate this. From time to time I'll have my card locked because there has been fraudulent charges on my card. There has been several times that it was locked in the payment didn't go through. And it doesn't even give you an option to pay it. So you're left with a negative mark on your credit. I'll try to reach out and no reply. This Buildium is a BS scam it in my eyes. I REGRET EVEN SIGNING UP. Trying to make right steps in my life and make my credit better all while you guys knocking me down. Absolutely hate you guys and don't deserve to have a platform to advertise. For those who read this if you see this don't do it they will screw you over!

I have recently took over a property management company with 200+ doors. I need a program/software that would help me use only one program for time management as well as my sanity. Buildium seemed to check all the boxes, the sales guys I had was great and hyped things up pretty well. I have the Premium plan after all of our converstations (3, I believe). Now I have done several POS systems in my past and run many businesses that I reconfigured onto digital platforms, so I'm no fool to the work that it takes. Upon onboarding, which was claimed to be simple was a small nightmare of data entry that was time consuming and stressful. Once getting that data in, I still had so many units that I had to revise and update and add additonal information, which was frustrating and again time consuming (did I mention I chose this to try to save on time?) My training person was knowledgeable, but spent most of our time (4 visits) on accounting which I clearly stated I wasn't going to be using at this time as I have an accountant. So by the end of it, I still am just trying to navigate this system on my own, which is fairly user friendly thank goodness. My reason for 2 stars is the e-pay setup. This is something that was never mentioned or didn't touch base on at all. In buying the premium I was informed that ACH charges would be free, which was important for me to have an option without additonal fees. I later learned that's only for a year until that gets charged also. That's only the beginning. The process to get your owners setup up for epay is AWFUL, literally they might ask for your first born next, I hope I'm not speaking too soon. I had to provide bank letters, Bylaws, Selfies with a drivers license from the owners (yep, you read that right), recent bank statements... the list goes on. My owners were starting to get irritated and questioning why all this private information need to be given to this new company. It's not over yet too... did I mention I was trying to save time, and I'm wrapped up in running around trying to get all this information to be approved for the most important part of the business- RENT PAYMENTS. If you are considering Builidium I would really think about this aspect- if I wasn't already 5 owners in deep, which is more then half for me, I would cancel this program in a heartbeat regardless of how much it may help me in the future. Wildly disappointed.

BUYER BEWARE...... I have been using Buildium for over two years now and I would not recommend them to anyone. I think they are dishonest and It's like dealing with a dishonest used car salesman. My two main complaints are (1) I feel like they used the illegal BAIT AND SWITCH tactic to get me to go with them. (2) The tech support is absolutely horrible. When they were trying to sell me on their service they said if you go with us we will give you 3 years of inspections for free, then 2 years after I signed up they start charging my card for the service that was supposed to be provided free for 3 years. Let me also mention that I do not use there home inspection software and never have. I emailed them with my complaint and ask that they stop charging me for use of the home inspections app and refund my card for the last two months and as usual I am dealing with someone from another country that is not comprehending my complaint at all. His response is that they are not offering the 3 years free anymore and that the company does not give refunds. This is not a good business practice at all. They can't just sign me up for it and charge my card when I am supposed to get it free for 3 years and I have never even used it. The guy said in his email back to me we don't give refunds. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I will be leaving as soon as I can do some additional research and find another company that actually honors the deal they offer has tech support that can actually comprehend English. When you call tech support you have to wait for an long long time and when you finally are lucky enough to get someone to answer they have a thick indian accent and you have to explain your problem to them several times because they are not comprehending what I am saying. Then they ask you hold so they can look up the problem or explain the problem to someone else who actually knows the software well enough to offer up a solution. It seems like most of the tech support is new and have to put you on hold to ask someone else for help. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY I don't want anyone else to have to deal with this terrible customer support.

Customer service is limited. Have been trying to reach support to resolve some situations/questions, but after sitting on HOLD for at least an hour on various days, I have to hang up to get to other business requiring the use of the phone. This has been an issue for quite some time. Also, I do not find the program very user friendly. It is more like playing a game of Mario Bros. to find all the hidden sub-areas. I would not recommend this program.
