A simple addition, like the ability to email vendors an AP report, would be a valuable improvement. > > Overall, the experience has been very positive. Support has always been incredibly helpful, and our client representative has been outstanding—always responsive and reliable for years\! ----- ### "Escapia customer for years... and happy to continue." — 5.0/5 > **Carla** | *17 January 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Escapia provides a platform that touches all aspects of our rental management business.

Escapia is an essential part of our business success. ----- ### "Escapia Review from Property Manager Perspective" — 5.0/5 > **Mika** | *01 February 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having worked with many Property Management Systems over the years, they all have their upsides and downsides. Being a small business owner and having to learn the majority of the 'nuts and bolts' in Escapia in order to run the business I will outline a few that I like about Escapia. Accounting/Trust Accounting - This software is excellent (generally) for accounting and keeping proper Trust accounting. May not be the prettiest interface, but it is very functional and solid once learned how to use. Integration/API/Etc. - Escapia connects with VRBO seamlessly which is our largest source of bookings and very well with our website which is our second largest source or bookings. They are beginning to bridge the gap with AirBnB which is very exciting and also link nicely to softwares we use such as Breezeway. Support - Sign of a good product is that you generally do not need to use support which is largely the case. When support is needed, it is generally very good especially the Australia and New Zealand based support which I often get being in Hawaii. Tier 2 support often takes a long time to hear back from. Star Employees - I would like to point out in addition to Australia and New Zealand based support previously mentioned a few employees that have stood out. \[sensitive content hidden\] in Accounting is fantastic and has helped me out of binds many times. Our account manager \[sensitive content hidden\] has been great and always gets us answers and keeps us abreast of advancements in the software. \[sensitive content hidden\] our software training person is always patient and kind with teaching us new things and best practices for those we already use. All should be commended for their service. MG > > **Cons**: There are sometimes 'glitches' in the software that take time to fix. Generally they are fixed in a timely manner, but others they are not. Other disappointing thing is that often we the client have to go back and remedy these issues even though we are not the cause of them. I have also had credit card processing issues over the years. Although it has gotten better, it is still a weakness of the system and getting good answers is often difficult. MG > > Overall my experience with Escapia has been a very positive one and I am glad that we chose them as our Property Management System. I would recommend them to those in the Vacation Rental Industry. MG ----- ### "Director of Operations" — 5.0/5 > **Sahra** | *28 January 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Escapia is user-friendly, featuring intuitive drop-down menus and robust search capabilities. It seamlessly integrates with numerous industry partners, simplifying the integration process. Additionally, Escapia values client feedback, implementing impactful changes to enhance efficiency and productivity. > > **Cons**: Some features feel outdated, but many, including reporting, are actively being improved. > > The overall experience is positive, as it efficiently gets the job done, improvements are constantly being made and any questions are always promptly addressed. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/134081/escapia?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/134081/escapia) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
