Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yardi Breeze Simplified Property Management " January 25, 2022 5.0 Pros Before switching to Yardi, I used Excel and QuickBooks to manage all properties and payments. Yardi Breeze has streamlined property management; I easily keep track of tenants and leases, maintenance requests, expenses, and vendors. And the best part is that I can do it all from anywhere! Whether I'm in the office or the field, everything is in one place. Cons Yardi is continuously updating to provide the best features to its users. If there is ever something I think could improve, there is a feature to give feedback, and Yardi's engineers take every suggestion into account to continue to deliver the best for the users. Alternatives considered [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze Yardi Breeze is more straightforward than other alternative software, and the customer support is exceptional! Whenever I have a question, a representative is readily available and knowledgeable. It is one of the critical components for why I chose Yardi Breeze. Review Source Response from Yardi Systems August 24, 2022 Hi Danielle, Thanks for your feedback! There's so much important detail here as well. Please keep us updated on your experience. There's still so much to come. KG Kaila G. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Would Recommend!" July 2, 2025 4.0 I would recommend Yardi Breeze for property owners who need a simple, easy-to-use system that covers all of the basics. Pros Their customer service is fantastic! Easy to contact, and solutions are usually provided ASAP. Simple to use and equipped with all the basic features for property owners/managers, especially for smaller properties. Cons The software could use some "beefing" up, with more advanced features like batch work order updating that make running a larger building simpler. Switched from [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) Needed a more cost-friendly solution that still worked with larger buildings Review Source SL Sharon L. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not Good for Large Student Property" December 2, 2025 2.0 It has been difficult. We have spent many hours on the phone with residents who were having problems setting up their RentCafe' accounts. We have also been frustrated with the people they have on the support chat. Many times, we feel like we know more about the functionality of YardiBreeze than they do. When they take issues "offline" because they can't help us, it takes them days to get back to us, and most often, the problem is not resolved. Pros It might be good for a smaller property, but it has not worked well for our student property. We have learned a few workarounds for the limitations it presents. Cons Customer service, RentCafe' issues. I don't believe it was meant for a 768-bed student housing community, but they did not tell us that when we were looking at the software. Alternatives considered [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze Because we were already using Yardi and also the pricing Review Source MD Margie D. Property Assistant Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Property Assistant" July 2, 2025 5.0 Overall, it is a great product. There are some features not available in Breeze that were available in Yardi Genesis for the commercial side of the business we wish would be added to Breeze. Pros How much easier it is to get things done. Even though it is geared more for residential, the commercial program has improved. The response time for help is great as long as you remember they are PST. Cons They still have some programs that still have not yet been fixed. the fact the if you are in Est or CST you have to wait for PST for anyone to respond. I wish they had more options for help in the other standard times. Wish they had more options for creating different kind of reports. Especially by day and not month. Or having option to do more detailed reports. Switched from [Yardi Voyager](https://www.capterra.com/p/33832/Yardi-Voyager/) Yardi was making it obsolete, and we were forced to upgrade to Breeze. Review Source AA Amani A. Leasing Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Yardi Breeze is User Friendly" December 9, 2025 5.0 Yardi Breeze is very user friendly in comparison to our last software that we used for our property management team. Pros Yardi Breeze is user friendly. Making rent receipts through it is easy and I like how you can view the tenant information really fast. Cons I don't like that there's a usage limit on chat help, so I think it may be more helpful to eliminate that limit. Alternatives considered [MRI Property Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/79570/MRI-Software/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze Our choice was ultimately between keeping MRI software or moving forward with Yardi. Yardi Breeze seemed like the easier choice because it's new and user friendly. Switched from [MRI Property Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/79570/MRI-Software/) We made the switch because our management company had asked us to. Review Source BS Brien S. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Breeze is good, but needs simple improvement." June 30, 2025 3.0 Breeze feels like was developed or programmed by someone lacking accounting or business experience. Genesis 2 was far superior in many ways, so I was let down when making the switch. Pros Breeze is simple to use. The rest of what I write is to meet the minimum 100-character requirement for this field. Cons The reports are not great. The Bill Pay report lacks payee names. You have to drill down twice to see payees, but there is no way to get them on a report. This, like many other report issues, is a GAAP exception. Breeze support is hit or miss. Sometimes great, but sometimes not follow up. My feeling is that the development team is arrogant and does not hearing suggestions on how to better the platform. Alternatives considered [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze The important things were slightly better. We did like that Appfolio read and entered invoices. Switched from [Yardi Voyager](https://www.capterra.com/p/33832/Yardi-Voyager/) Yardi Gen 2 was not an option above. Was advised that support was stopping. Somewhat forced. Review Source JH Julia H. Property Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very happy with Yardi!" September 17, 2025 5.0 We've been using Yardi for approximately 2+ years now, we really enjoy it and are always learning about other features and tools it has to make our jobs easier. Pros It's easy to manage tenants, look into their ledger and stay on top of unit availability. Customer support is always quick to answer, and I like that there's a chat feature so I don't have to call in with questions. It's definitely made managing our tenant base easier and smoother. Cons I wish there was an app for the management side, otherwise we're happy with what it offers and how it works. Alternatives considered [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze Other companies we know highly recommended it. I also believe it was more compatible with Canadian property management, where others were predominantly US based. Review Source AJ Amber J. Broker, General Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Spend more money on Onboarding" September 8, 2025 4.0 Overall very happy with the product but still learning/and understanding a few years into using. The online videos are super boring, so the conference was much better, to be in an interactive environment. Pros Being able to speak with support through the chat function, the overall usability, and the constant strive for improvements. Cons The onboarding team and the process was not great. A lot of things have been learn as we go. Figuring out some intricacies to make sure the finances balance. Switched from [Propertyware](https://www.capterra.com/p/25491/Propertyware/) no customer support, not user friendly, didn't deliver enough of what we needed. Review Source BH Bohdan H. property manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamlined Operations with Yardi Breeze" September 9, 2025 5.0 Yardi Breeze transforms the day-to-day running of a residential building into something truly manageable. Its cloud-based design makes it accessible and flexible enough to handle tasks from anywhere. Setting everything up takes mere minutes, and the interface is straightforward enough that onboarding new staff is a breeze Pros One standout feature is the rent ledger and built-in accounting system, it’s comprehensive and centralizes rent collection, receivables, payables, and financial statements in one place. Monthly rent statements can be sent out in under five minutes, and tenants can pay seamlessly through the portal. One of the best features is free of charge Pre-Authorized Debit rent collections. Cons Some of the reports are not very well planned as they relate to tenants name, but do not reflect the unit number (for example rentable items report). Alternatives considered [DoorLoop](https://www.capterra.com/p/211768/DoorLoop/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze cloud based, intuitive interface, simplified design Review Source Jocelyn L. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yardi Breeze is a Breeze" April 17, 2024 5.0 I really like the Yardi Breeze program; it is very intuitive and organized. Pros The chat feature has always been a plus; my last software I had to pay every time I had a question! This year my favorite thing is the AP PayScan. It has saved so much time in our invoice processing system, it would never go back to the old ways of doing things! Cons The help portion of the program has so much information, but sometimes I can't locate what I need. Also, sometimes, one little thing is "marked/off" and then I can't get something to work and I need to call for help. The helpdesk is great when you can use the chat feature. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze I saw Yardi reports from another real estate company and I thought "that is what I want to use" plus they could transfer our information from Skyline and meet our goal of a quick transition. Switched from [SKYLINE](https://www.capterra.com/p/56328/SKYLINE/) Skyline was difficult to use and expensive when I needed help. Review Source JL Josephine L. Regional Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Yardi Breeze is Fantastic" December 5, 2024 4.0 Yardi Breeze has been absolutely wonderful to learn. Definitely easier to figure and understand compared to other similar products I've used in the past. Pros Yardi Breeze is very user friendly and easy to learn especially with the help from agents in the chat. They are always happy to help walk you through anything you need help learning or understanding. Cons The lack of integration. Also, that you are unable to edit how Debit Card payments are allocated. It's a bit frustrating to have to request via chat for them to edited by the Yardi team when residents apply the payments towards rent instead of other open balances first. Switched from [ONEsite](https://www.capterra.com/p/225682/ONEsite/) Main reason for switching was due to a change in ownership of the property, but I'm so glad it happened! Yardi Breeze was so much easier to navigate and learn. Another factor in switching was the cost. Yardi Breeze is much more cost efficient. Review Source JK Jeff K. Principal Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy Customer" December 10, 2024 5.0 Coming from Genesis2 to Breeze Premier has been overall positive. I am able to adequately operate my properties. As a one person office, I appreciate the overall ease of Breeze Premier. Pros The primary functions are easy to use. The product does provide flexibility to do more detailed functions as well. Cons I have not found a way to tailor several reports to meet my needs. Switched from [Yardi Voyager](https://www.capterra.com/p/33832/Yardi-Voyager/) Yardi Genesis 2 was being phased out. I had no choice but to upgrade to Breeze or look for a different provider. Review Source MH MICHAEL H. Owner, and Managing Partner Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best in class storage management solution" March 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, I have had a very positive experience with Yardi Breeze. The products support has been great. The functionality is well designed, and comprehensive. The product allows us to be on our front foot in industry. Pros The automation of notice recreation for tenants. Cons Online leasing functionality is buggy and not useful. A integration partnership with a more mature product like DocuSign may be worth considering. Alternatives considered [CCStorage](https://www.capterra.com/p/174252/CCStorage/)[Storable Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/218435/storEDGE/)[Easy Storage Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/112769/Self-Storage-Software/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze Maturity of delinquent notice automation. Integration of accounting system. Robust reporting. Review Source AR Alice R. Regional Manager Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Yardi vs Breeze" March 20, 2025 5.0 It is affordable vs regular yardi. It was easier to navigate through. Pros Easier to navigate through vs regular yardi. Cons It needs better reporting links to view better financial reports Switched from [Yardi Voyager](https://www.capterra.com/p/33832/Yardi-Voyager/) affordable and new management wanted an affordable software since the property was small Review Source JS Jason S. Assistant Property Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yardi Review Dec 2025" December 2, 2025 4.0 Positive. I've used some version of Yardi (Voyager, CRM, Breeze) at 4 different jobs now. That being said, I have nothing else to compare it to. Pros Ease of use. The user interface is extremely clean and easy to understand. I can run a report for any information I could possibly want about my properties. Cons Two main cons: 1. Slow. Almost daily, for at least part of the day, Yardi is extremely slow - taking several minutes to run reports, upload files, and even load pages. 2. Lack of property-level data. It would be helpful is there was a place on each property's page to save information like the property's taxing authority and parcel number, regular vendors used at that property, etc. One other thing, please don't make me change my password every month or two. This is going to result in me writing the current password on a piece of paper on my desk - defeating the security purpose of a password in the first place. Review Source LB Lucia B. President Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform for smaller portfolios/simpler leases" September 8, 2025 5.0 Overall, I find the software very intuitive, user-friendly, and appropriate for smaller portfolios with standard leases. If you have more complicated Leases with options and other clauses, or want to register payments on the go, you may want to consider Breeze Premier. Pros I was pleasantly surprised with Breeze's ease of use, user-friendly interface and intuitive setup. I also find the chat and help articles useful in most cases. Cons I wish the app had a feature to allow property managers to record a rent payment, this would be useful when on the go after cashing a check with the bank. I also wish the basic Breeze platform allowed for lease options to be entered like the premium version. Review Source GR Gary R. President Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Real Estate Software at its Finest" June 21, 2025 5.0 I would recommend this product to anyone who owns commercial, residential, self storage, or association properties. Accounting is rock solid and reports are great and export to excel and pdf. I love the invoice approval process with images and leases and other important documents can be attached to all records in the system for a true "paperless environment". Pros Yardi Breeze is easy to use and handles both the operations and accounting of property management. The ability to customize the software to your needs makes it like "Quickbooks on steroids". Whether you own or manage a small or medium sized portfolio, the system can accommodate your needs. It contains more reports than you will ever need, has custom dashboards, can now automate reporting, has a new AI invoice interface, and has portal integration for receiving payments and maintenance requests from tenants. Cons Not a big fan of the chat help. Always find it more time efficient to resolve issues with a Live person. Review Source MR Mariana R. Business Operations Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient, Reliable, and Always One Step Ahead" June 23, 2025 4.0 My overall experience with Yardi Breeze has been very positive. It’s a strong, smart, and forward-thinking system that supports efficient property management. With more visibility into the learning tools and perhaps faster live support availability, it would be close to perfect Pros The company I work for uses Yardi Breeze Premier, and overall, it has been an excellent platform. The system is incredibly helpful for managing accounting tasks efficiently and keeping everything well-organized across multiple properties with varying unit counts. It feels like the software is always one step ahead and is constantly improving. It’s a powerful tool for property management Cons There have been times when I’ve had questions and needed help navigating certain features. While the live chat support is helpful, it’s not always available when I need immediate assistance. I also think the training videos and help resources Yardi provides could be promoted more clearly. There’s so much to learn and take advantage of within the system, and more visibility around those tools would really help maximize its value. Review Source JE Jessica E. Controller Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Breeze Premier - Sometimes the Middle Child (of Yardi's software) is the Best" September 5, 2025 4.0 Overall our experience with Yardi Breeze Premier has been very positive! The list of Pros has definitely outweighed the Cons; especially when the ability to submit feedback regarding our Pain Points is freely available and actively requested by Yardi. I see our company sticking with Yardi Breeze Premier for a long while. Pros Yardi Breeze has an intuitive UI and is great for those of us in Property Management who have portfolios that are, shall we say, a little on the smaller side. Breeze Premier gives us access to the features we need to help with everything from Tenant Online Payment options to marketing our available units - all without costing an arm and a leg. Cons One downside to Yardi Breeze and Yardi Breeze Premier is the broadness of the User Permissions in the Company Settings. We have found that giving permission for someone to do one particular action can, most times, result in receiving permission for additional areas and actions that the individual should not have access to. Review Source NH Nichole H. Commerical Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Alot of highs and some crazy lows. " June 30, 2025 4.0 The conversion was rough. Did not get a lot of support. A year learning curve is a minimum. The rent cafe option needs work. For the family this is a great program for commercial it needs a lot of work. Pros Online access anywhere, email options for tenants, uploading documents, and the Mutiple program print options. Cons The reports lack crossover, not the same reports as old yardi or option to make a report, we have a lot of glitches on the commercial side, and the notes section lacks options, and there are not enough fields to accommodate commercial users and property profiles. Review Source LK Linda K. Senior manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Breeze isn't always a Breeze" July 7, 2025 3.0 Yardi Breeze is acceptable as a multifamily software platform. There are several areas that could use improvement to make it easier to work with. Pros Mostly easy to navigate the system. If you need immediate assistance, you could find that there is nobody available to "Chat" with which is frustrating. Cons Very difficult to speak with a human. You need to use the chat feature, and it is not always available. Alternatives considered [RealPage](https://www.capterra.com/p/183247/Real-Page/) Reason for choosing Yardi Breeze It was easier to migrate to Breeze platform Review Source VK Valerie K. Leasing Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall a positive experience" December 9, 2025 5.0 Positive! It’s a great way to have tenants apply, sift through everything, and keep order on all tenants past and future. Pros The ease at which I can search for and find an updated (and archived) roster of my portfolio of buildings and tenants, and what’s going on with them. Cons It is a little clunky. I have had some trouble in the past finding a record I need if something didn’t save correctly regardless of being updated. Review Source AK Angie K.

" September 4, 2025 4.0 We had very excellent training with \[sensitive content hidden\] - and that made all the difference in our success. We had attempted to adopt Yardi before but it didn't stick, but this time we got the support we needed to create a platform that works with our complex business model. Pros I am pleased with the new Smart AP, it allows us to connect our payables to MRs and keep track of spending and recognize trends in Maintenance and Repair. CommercialCafe reporting is a great tool as well. I can see who has adopted the platform and who is using it. Cons We would love to have a rent schedule that looks ahead 12 months. Many of our commercial tenants ask for rent schedules for budgeting purposes. Review Source MY Mandie Y.

Always enjoy Refresh each year to assist with some of those and it makes it fun! Pros The ease of having accounting and tenant management in one software forum. Communicate with tenants through the portal, ease of them being able to submit maintenance requests, apply for a unit, ask questions and let's not forget Marketing with Rent Cafe! Cons When I first started with Breeze it took a bit getting used to and learning where everything is. all the steps to get into the marketing side of Rent Cafe is a bit frustrating, a direct link would be awesome!

Pros The ease of looking up payables and receivables. It was always easy to check to see if I entered something Cons the down time how it would freeze.
