Rent Manager Online Vs. Standalone

Chocolate or vanilla? Chicken or Fish? Standalone or Online? When it comes to your Rent Manager software, there’s more to our purchase options than mere preference.

Rent Manager was designed to meet the many needs of property managers throughout the industry as one integrated solution; offering accounting, property management, work order, marketing capabilities, and much more. The fundamentals of the software itself remain the same no matter how you buy it, however there are some differences in the features available for each platform.

There are situations where either the Rent Manager Standalone version or Rent Manager Online (RMO) is a clear choice. But for most cases, the option boils down to choosing the breadth of functionality you need.

Those who purchase our Standalone version buy the software “off the shelf” and own it outright. They can purchase additional features to add to the foundation product but those resources are sold individually. Overall, the program runs on their computer the same way Microsoft Word or any other purchased program would. Based on a company’s size and portfolio, Standalone has three diverse purchase options; Small Business, Professional, and Enterprise Editions.

With RMO, customer data is housed on our state-of-the-art, ultra-secure servers, and users run the program from any Internet-connected computer. This means when the team back at Rent Manager updates the software, your version gets a quick face-lift as well, always keeping you running on the most up-to-date version of your platform.

RMO also provides access to several features that are only available to online users: including Web Portal Suite, Report Automation, and more. Additionally, Android and iOS resources like mobileRM and our mobile apps allow you to access RMO on-the-go, anywhere you go!
