They have grown a lot over all the years we have utilized their software. About once a year they experience growing pains with service disruptions. Other than that, their services have been top-notch. Most of our employee-users prefers using the Smartwebs software to our other software which can handle the same tasks. Pros Most of its modules are intuitive. They are easy/quick to learn whether they are intuitive or not. As it syncs with our operations and accounting software, we were even more pleased with it. Cons For legacy customers, there is less all-in known pricing and more learn-as-you go pricing you must ask for at a later date. Reason for choosing Smartwebs Not applicable Review Source MS Mark S.

Pros Its ease of use, we used a diffrent software and did not like it no where near Smart Webs. Cons cant speak of any all our experiences have been great Alternatives considered [Vantaca](https://www.capterra.com/p/230892/Vantaca/) Reason for choosing Smartwebs Used in the past and really liked and found to be user friendly Switched from [CINC](https://www.capterra.com/p/143799/CINC-Systems/) Not happy with their module. To difficult to use Review Source AO Andrew O. Compliance Coordinator Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs Review" October 3, 2022 3.0 Overall it has been good. Typically, after an update, we encounter a lot of issues but they are generally corrected within a few days. Pros The versatility of having an office version and mobile version working seamlessly is very beneficial. Cons Would like to see a report that shows how many letters were printed at third party and the cost. Reason for choosing Smartwebs Jenark, VMS Review Source CE Claudia E. Property Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient and User-Friendly Platform" December 16, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Smartwebs has been great so far. The platform is user-friendly and efficient, making tasks like creating violation letters and managing work orders much easier. Pros I appreciate how efficient Smartwebs is—it saves significant time when creating violation letters and managing work orders. Cons It would be helpful if it integrated better with other software we use for property management. Switched from [Enumerate](https://www.capterra.com/p/38478/Enumerate/) I do not like the way Enumerate does their violation letters and work orders Review Source SL Samantha L. Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smart Webs Review " August 4, 2022 5.0 If I would have known Smart Webs was coming out with a full-service program for all our HOA needs, I would have expressed the NEED to have this to my boss. Unfortunately, we are in a current contract with AppFolio. The ease of their program is so user friendly my three-year-old could even figure it out. Pros The ease of their program is so convenient while in the field or in the office. Makes inspection time in the field less than using previous programs. (Tops 1, VMS or AppFolio) Cons Just recently the feedback or assistance with support has been rather slow. Even though we rarely need supports help unless we are entering a new community. Review Source JD Jordan D. Compliance Supervisor Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs Overview" November 23, 2021 4.0 Smartwebs is a great service provider, moderately easy to use, great automation, has improved the speed at which we can do our jobs and the level of service we can provide as a management company. Great customer service and product that continues to evolve and improve with time. Pros Product is easy to use and automates the process seamlessly for the most part. Mostly easy to use. Developer team actually listens to us about improvements that can be made and tries to implement when they can. Cons Integration with our VMS system wasn't easy at first and there are still bugs that need to be worked out from time to time. Some features of the software are cumbersome to use, not always user friendly, sometimes multiple ways to get to the same feature, which can make the process confusing. Cannot mass update the call to action text for a particular violation category across all associations. The system seems to have down time a day or so every few months which can prevent us from getting our work done for an entire day or more. doesn't always sync properly to our VMS system. Most of the time things are consistent, though.

Goodwin had previously used Smartwebs on a smaller scale and liked the platform. Review Source GV Gary V. Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smartwebs beats the competition" April 30, 2024 5.0 Still new to the software but the interaction to date has been great and the software was recommended by all of the referrals referred by Smartwebs, our bank and a outside consulting company specializing in HOA's. Pros Ease of use, user friendly and homeowner friendly portals. Cons Have not determined any negatives at this point other than Smartwebs does not have voting capabilities at this time. Switched from [AppFolio Property Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/92228/AppFolio-Property-Manager/) Due to extremely poor support, higher fees, and the software not matching the needs of our HOA, we aggressively searched and demo'd competitive software options and quickly narrowed our search down to Smartwebs.

Pros It provides affordable web hosting and reseller packages for clients Cons Most of these affordable web hosting packages offer limited website storage and size of contents that can be hosted on the website. Switched from [iPage](https://www.capterra.com/p/230355/iPage/) Ipage.com back then don't offer reseller packages Review Source aH amy H. Community Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smart Webs for busy managers" August 4, 2022 5.0 I am a big fan and recommend this software to all of my communities. Pros The ease of uploading and maintaining applications and communicating. Its easy to train new users. Cons Theres a lot of updates which can be confusing for older members Alternatives considered [Complete Control](https://www.capterra.com/p/265814/Complete-Control-4-0/) Reason for choosing Smartwebs The ease of the portal for my committee members Review Source Hayzweb T.

Association Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs & HOA Management" November 23, 2021 5.0 I love Smartwebs easy-to-use software that's accessible anywhere with an internet connection. I hope my company goes on to use other services Smartwebs provides. Pros It's easy to use. I spent a lot of time working on compliance and restriction violations. It's a simple process to upload photos that are integrated into the letters. Cons Sometimes it's slow going when setting up a new community or adding more properties to an existing, developing community, especially when there aren't other supporting maps online to assist in the process since the development is so new, but that's hardly Smartwebs fault, rather a difficult situation. Review Source NR Nikki R. Vice President Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Smartwebs Experience" October 6, 2022 4.0 My overall experience with Smartwebs has been good. They are responsive when we have questions and are helpful in making changes if needed. Pros I appreciate how easy it is to navigate through the system. I can move from the violation section to look up an architectural for a home in one click. I also like that you can see any home with an open violation from the main screen. Cons The one feature I would like to see that isn't available is for architectural submittals . When requesting “more information” on an architectural submittal this is automatically placing the request on hold. This can’t happen as that stops the clock and we need to ensure that the calendar clock continues. Reason for choosing Smartwebs We felt Smartwebs offered the best product for what we were looking for. Review Source AB Ashle B. Assistant Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs review" August 4, 2022 5.0 We love the system and would love it even more with the updates in the violation field. Pros We love how everything is on the same software. Cons We do not like the violation system that much, it takes a long time to create a violation or update one. We can also not see the previous photos on file. Switched from [TOP PRODUCER](https://www.capterra.com/p/152143/Top-Producer-CRM/) It was too hard to process our work. Review Source BY Brian Y. Community Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A critical piece of the HOA puzzle. A must have for successful management." November 23, 2021 5.0 It's been great. Super intuitive for the most part and if you're ever stuck the customer support is quick and amazing. Pros Easy to use. Graphical. Geo-Tracking for on the spot enforcement. Inclusive and responsive for Architectural reviews and a great system for tracking and issuing covenant violations. Cons I would love to be able to separate our community into neighborhoods as some neighborhoods have sub-associations that I don't want collaborators to have access to entire HOA. Reason for choosing Smartwebs Ease of use, collaboration, tracking and accessibility. Review Source SP Stephanie P. Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software" November 23, 2021 5.0 Overall it is a great product and I would highly recommend. Pros Smartwebs has a great design and is very user friendly for compliance violations and arc requests. Cons Sometimes it will freeze or time out while doing inspections. Review Source SS Samantha S. Compliance Department Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smartwebs is great! I hope you continue to develop the software as time goes on! " November 19, 2021 4.0 Overall, I think Smartwebs is amazing and much better than our previous software. If the onboarding process were easier, I would rate 9-10/10 Pros Smartwebs is very user friendly. The overall visual aesthetic of Smartwebs is a huge time saver and makes working in the program incredibly efficient. Cons I wish the software had a more comprehensive note taking section that allowed me to see current notes without adding in things like "violation closed" or had an option to disable viewing of that so the notes don't look as cluttered. I also wish there was a way to sync faster with our Virtual Management Software for situations such as escrow. I also wish there were ways to make the onboarding process quicker, such as AI to allow me to upload governing documents versus having to type them in by hand. Review Source SS Sanjay S. Portfolio Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smartwebs Update" November 29, 2021 5.0 Excellent , no issues Pros Easy and user friendly. I can easily load the date in the system and it is easy to teach to user. Cons Updates are cumbersome to put in. Sometimes it is hard for new users to use. Maybe a training portal for users with minimum technology background.

Community Relations Coordinator Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SmartWebs and VMS Communication" November 18, 2021 3.0 SmartWebs is great if there are no glitches. Simple things such as correcting language in VMS seems like an unnecessary step. It can be frustrating. But - when all goes well, it goes really well! It's much more efficient to process violations and download a PDF to print from that instead of individually from VMS. Pros SmartWebs makes processing multiple violations easy. As an example, on specific days our inspector checks for recycling and trash receptacles that have been left out. Our community is large - over 2,500 units - and there are times that we issue a large quantity of violations. SmartWebs processes all the violations with ease and we can download the PDF to process and print. An attached photo printed with each violation is extremely helpful too! Cons The communication between VMS and SmartWebs seems a bit off. In sticking with the trash & recycling example, I find that there is a lot of toggling between SmartWebs and VMS to make sure the language matches on the violation we sent to the homeowner. SmartWebs has the tendency to auto-load the text of how the violation reads in a resolution - quite lengthy. In cases like that, we need to cut and paste language into VMS to simple say, "Please keep your trash/recycling receptacles out of sight," or something similar. When there are several violations, that can be time consuming. Review Source JM Jo M. CAM Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SmartWebs" August 4, 2022 4.0 I like the fact that I can generate emails to owners for violations and not have to wait until they get a letter delivered by the Post office. Pros The ease to generate violation notices and also ARC requests uploads Cons I find the process to modify anything in the CCR section extremely difficult and your support documents don't have a lot of detailed explanation. I am sure this was covered in the original setup period. But over time and change of managers, I find that cleanup is needed and that is not always an easy process. Reason for choosing Smartwebs Decision was made before I came to work. Review Source RC Rachel C. Community Associate Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Will not recommend" November 18, 2021 1.0 Not happy Pros I don't like it, it is too time consuming Cons Why would we charge an owner $25.00 or $35.00 to install a $5.00 - $10.00 plant? There are too many steps to do with this process and it was so much easier before. If an owner got a Denial on a project, he has to be charged AGAIN to submit the same project? That is not nice. With 3 board members, I get 3 different answers. Very frustrating to have to email them to have one decision or remind them to go into the system and decide. Some of them have trouble logging in, then it takes time for the Support Dept to see what is occurring, too much time is wasted. Review Source LR Lilly R. Administrative assistant Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Smartwebs Architecturals" August 25, 2022 5.0 Smartwebs automatically sends the approval or denial letters to the owners without me having to do anything extra. This software is great and I wish all of our communities would use it. Pros I enjoy using the smartwebs Architectural, creating projects , attaching the documents and submitting to ACC for review has never been easier, faster and so much better that the old manual process. I recommend this software to all companies HOA's that have large communities and the integration was smooth. Cons There isn't a feature that I can list as a least favorite for this software at this time. I enjoy using this software and the features available. Review Source KS Kathleen S. Association Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy, cost-worthy and efficient!" November 18, 2021 5.0 Before SmartWebs, our company used a spreadsheet to keep up with compliance. As we continued to bring in more doors, the need for a simpler and more effective way to keep up with violations was necessary. SmartWebs allowed for us to send multiple violations while on property. Integration was seamless as it merges with our software, VMS. And we have multiple communities who benefit from it. Pros Easy to find a home address either by typing or viewing on the map Easy to find open violations and view notes while in the field Quick and effortless to send compliance reports to the Board/committee Architectural process is seamless Great to have all notes and backup info in one, easy to search location Cons There is nothing that I do not like about SmartWebs to be quite frank. The system is constantly improving and we're happy with the product. Review Source SD Susan D. HOA Manager Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "McCormick Woods HOA - Happy Customer " August 9, 2022 5.0 It has been a great experience overall. Any time there have been questions, support staff has been readily available. Pros The interface and ease of working with this software has increased our efficiency greatly. What were previously manual, time consuming tasks are now streamlined, enabling us to process applications and violations with much greater ease. Cons There have not been any noted negatives so far.
