RDPWin

We chose this software because it fit our needs as a property manager (vacation rentals) as well as our hotel business . There are a lot of features and it can be customized to fit most of your needs if you are in the industry. It has a database style feel and many custom options.

The software also feels almost too advanced with many features you will never use. Sometimes it can be challenging to figure out how to do something simple in the system. It is not very intuitive or user friendly. But once it is fully set up and customized, screens can be limited for the front desk so they don't get overwhelmed. I'd recommend having a technical person run point on the initial configuration.

RDP is flexible enough to customize things to match our business rather than needing us to change to accommodate it. We are a seasonal business so being able to adjust rate plans, etc is important. We bundle rooms and food (+/- other items) into a package and it handles this well. Great reporting.

This is pretty granular but we have a non-calendar fiscal year so I wish the Statistical Totals display (it's an easy pull down for quick year over year comparisons) could start in November rather than January.

The tape chart is an easy visual and shows availability quickly. It also displays the different types of reservations using colors, which is a nice feature.

When I make long-term reservations, it often changes the "share-with" reservation to the entire time instead of the month-to-month date I entered. I was told this was because we had to do the upgrade, which we did; but it still happens.

The confidence to know that the support staff are always available and I have felt they have always been very knowledgeable and quick to respond. This team is a tremendous asset to you.

When a process works well and then seems to aquire a glitch. The upgrades at times cause this and it is frustrating. It would also be helpful if there was a manual to refer to as it is not always easy to find help within RDP for simple items.
