Financial accountant Accounting ### "User-friendly" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 1, 2025 Very satisfied with the support team especially to \[sensitive content hidden\]. I found the interface generally user-friendly, and features like the accounting processing. Pros The integration of accounting, communication, and community management tools in one system makes it easier to streamline day-to-day operations. I also appreciate the user-friendly interface and how it empowers residents, board members, and managers to stay connected and informed. That kind of focus on transparency and efficiency is something I really value in a software platform. The support team are very supportive. Cons None so far for I understand that the platform is designed primarily for HOA management, and I’ve seen consistent improvements over time, which shows the company’s commitment to enhancing user experience.

Pros Not quite sure. We've had many challenges with the website in general, from editing and removing Alerts, to Association Voice messaging system. This, unfortunately, has put a huge damper on our experience overall. Cons Way too many issues, and extremely slow speed of rectifying these issues with Association Voice.

Easy to use. Not a great mobile experience. Pros Comprehensive capabilities work well for our community Cons While previously integrated with our Management Company's back office systems, our current platform is standalone. This causes us to double key. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Finance Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Less than positive experience" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 August 27, 2024 My overall experience with FrontSteps/Caliber has been less that positive. Pros The integrated software which allows Compliance data and Architectural data to integrate with accounting.

There is no one there knowledgeable in accounting who can understand the issues Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Frontsteps Suite of Products " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 27, 2024 Pros Frontsteps is very user friendly and easy to roll out to a wide range of individuals. Cons We really don’t have complaints as Frontsteps works to quickly find a fix or upgrade when issues arrive. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Needed a more well rounded encompassing property management package.

Chief Operating Officer Non-Profit Organization Management ### "FRONTSTEPS COMMUNITY, A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 7, 2024 The experience with FRONTSTEPS has been great. Not perfect, but definitely great. They are a great business partner that is willing to listen to what works, what doesn't, why it doesn't work, and how to improve. They truly are working with you thru whatever issue you have to overcome and find resolution. It's been a pretty gratifying experience so far and we look forward to much more from them. Pros Ease of use for our client as well as the many options that put information at their fingertips. Cons Always cost. As the COO, I want the best of the best but I don't necessarily want to pay for it. However, what FRONTSTEPS brings to the table and continues to improve on far outweighs my thoughts on cost. Reasons for choosing FRONTSTEPS We looked into FRONTSTEPS for about 7 months before we finally decided to get on board. During that time, we looked at functionality, ease of use, costs, onboarding, support, etc and called quite a few referrals whom endorsed FRONTSTEPS but were also honest about some shortfalls. They indicated that FRONTSTEPS continually worked to improve their product and overcome their shortfalls to give us a great product. That's the kind of business partner we wanted.

Operations Director Non-Profit Organization Management ### "10 Years and Counting " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 31, 2024 Pros We have used Frontsteps' accounting software, Caliber, for 10 years. We recently transitioned from a third-party portal provider to Frontsteps Community and are really happy with the decision. Working with one provider was a major consideration in making the move. Through Frontsteps, we have access to all the products our Clients need, making our jobs easier and our Clients happier. Cons Our industry is always changing and these changes often require us to make quick adjustments to our processes. As a software provider serving management companies all over, Frontsteps is not always immediately privy to legal changes, especially those in just one state. I am sure this challenge is not limited to Frontsteps and is instead felt by all software providers. Fortunately, we have always had a strong relationship with Frontsteps. When something changes or a need arises, their teams listen to us, work to fully understand our concerns and implement thorough solutions.
