I use CoStar Real Estate Manager for the AP and AR processes for commercial leases, and I find it solves the problem of readability, making it easy for anyone to go into a lease and see its activity and pertinent information. I like how easy it is to use; it's not complicated and easy to navigate. This ease allows me to move from lease to lease effortlessly without spending hours searching for information, helping me get more done in my day. The initial setup was relatively easy too.

It makes the overall accounting process easier, especially when it comes to calculations. The workflow feels smoother for the user, and the process is more standardized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times when CoStar tends to glitch, which can lead to inaccurate schedules. Instead of flagging the error, it just processes the schedules anyway, and that ultimately affects the final result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I notice how slow the system can be, and lately I believe there has been a lot of slack in how the system is running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to navigate and that there is a section for all of the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the process of attaching a lease to a building, or linking a vendor to a lease, could be more seamless and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the ability to update the vendor across all current and future streams for a specific Lease ID through the "Change Vendor" function especially useful. This feature makes a significant difference operationally, as it saves a lot of time and reduces manual work, especially for leases with a large number of future recurring charges such as base rent and additional rent. This level of flexibility and efficiency is not something I commonly see in other rent management systems, and it greatly simplifies ongoing lease administration. The initial setup of CoStar Real Estate Manager was pretty easy overall, with the setup process being straightforward and manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, the vendor section could be more intuitive and streamlined. Compared to other real estate management systems I've worked with, CoStar's interface for managing vendors is less user-friendly, particularly when it comes to adding new vendors or updating existing ones. From my experience, the vendor management interface is not as intuitive as it could be, particularly when performing common tasks such as adding new vendors or updating existing ones. The process often involves multiple steps that are not always clearly guided, and it can be difficult to quickly identify where to make changes or confirm that updates have been applied correctly. For example, when onboarding a new vendor or replacing an existing one, the navigation and required fields are not always straightforward, which can slow down the process and increase the likelihood of errors.

What I like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager is how it brings all lease, financial, and property data into one centralized, reliable system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about CoStar Real Estate Manager is that, through the magnifying glass, I can see who made the last change in the system more easily and quickly, thus ensuring greater transparency in data changes. Additionally, I find that CoStar is very dynamic and easy to learn, with a layout that makes data visualization easier and more dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I would like to be improved are the filters of Expensies, so that they become either easier to use, or other filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say user functionality is the best thing about CoStar since it has an easy UI. It is also easy to setup security groups and define which modules you;d like the group to have access to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the security aspect in that it is a bit difficult to understand which modules control what at first. Also the inability to add a user to an 'inactive' primary group is a huge dislike. Especially since they show up on the audit report as being inactive but still belonging to whichever primary group they belong to previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very user-friendly, and it makes it easy for me to find what I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In a shared environment, the invoicing feature needs significant improvement. The prior balance is consistently incorrect, so I can’t rely on CoStar to bill my 150+ subtenants accurately. Also, when creating Ad Hoc reports, I wish the data sets included clear descriptions; that would save me time and help me get the results I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
