Software Comparison: STRATAFOLIO Versus Yardi Voyager

Today, we take a look at Yardi Voyager and compare it to STRATAFOLIO. Yardi launched in 1984.

And, since then, it has become a mainstay system used many large real estate companies across the world. 

However, it is not the right system of choice for many real estate owners who employ a small staff. Nor is it the right product for those teams trying to streamline operations. With a small staff, each individual may have some area of specialization. It is also essential for each team member to be able to support and help each other out in some capacity. Most teams do not have a resident Yardi expert. This makes it very hard for the company to function and gain full use of the functionality of Yardi Voyager.

Why pay for more product than you need or use.

STRATAFOLIO & Yardi Voyager – Comparison

In a single glance, you will note the significant visual and functional differences in the applications. Because Yardi was developed nearly 40 years ago, it looks dated. STRATAFOLIO is built on the latest technology and is visually appealing, and has an interface that is much more user-friendly. 

This high-level feature and functionality comparison is based on Yardi Voyager’s user reviews and current users of that current application. This gives you the opportunity to compare some of the major features and functionality across both products.
