Amazing software. Functionality at its finest
Pros:
Cirrus8 is intuitive, easy to navigate and user friendly. Learning how to use the software has been straightforward. During the implementation phase, training was provided and when our agency went live with Cirrus8, extensive direct support was provided to ensure our transition went smoothly. The features have allowed our agency to increase efficiencies and refine our procedures and workflows. For example, the add-on for the Automated Invoicing has streamlined our office accounts processes and freed up time to work on other tasks. Even something as simple as amending an invoice or the ability to configure property management fees to charge at set dates at different rates is a breeze. As a Trust Accountant, the process within Cirrus8 for Receipting, Bank Reconciliations and End of Month are simple. I especially love the extensive range of flexible reporting which I find is easy to read and understand and provides great detail for KPIs. I also appreciate the online forms feature which enables a Property Manager to submit forms to the Trust Accountant for approval. This has enabled our office to reduce procedural steps and double handling and increase our quality control processes. We have also found that the Development Team has been great and very proactive. They roll out regular releases of features, which keeps the software competitive and catering to our needs. The decision to migrate to Cirrus8 was an easy one and the best thing to happen to our agency.

Quality Real Estate Trust Accounting Software
Comments: Cirrus8 is a complete Property Trust Accounting system. It retains the flexibility to cater for clients of all sizes and requirements. It is an efficient system that keeps the user fully informed and allows free control over the property accounts and property cashflows. With regular updates the system keeps improving and I highly recommend Cirrus8.
Pros:
Ease of Use. Number of different reports to access to cover a large range of property information. Budgeting process is greatly simplified and flexible enough for different lease types. Facility to complete mass mailouts to tenants. Retains copies of documents issued such as Arrears, Budget and Reconciliation Letters. Invoice processing via OSR. Regular program updates based on taking in feedback from customers.
Cons:
It would be good to have it designed for mobile applications. Whilst it can be used using Google App it is a bit too small on the screen to use.

Sales & Leasing Transactional input is excellent though it lacks one stop Marketing portal to make it seemless to market properties
Love It
Comments: The Implementation team was wonderful to work with and made the experience as straightforward as possible for me during the transition of data from our old database (180 leases). I've recently started my own real estate business and it was a relief to know that Cirrus8 is not cost-prohibitive for a small portfolio (50 leases) while I get settled in. I have been able to set this up from Day One. Wouldn't have chosen anything else.
Pros:
Love being able to work from the cloud, really made WFH during COVID more manageable. The Support team is so responsive, absolutely love them. It's also great that the product is constantly being improved/updated for functionality, etc.
Cons:
Would love to be able to add two units under one lease, and two bank accounts under one property (for strata purposes). Some little tweaks to really optimise the experience, but it is very functional software which makes my life easier all day every day.
Value Of Cirrus8
Comments: Cirrus8 is a very user friendly commercial property management system. Dedicated support staff are very helpful and friendly and have a very prompt turn around time on any queries. Their software development is always evolving to keep up with market demands and latest trends
Pros:
The product is designed specifically for commercial property management. It is web based so can be easliy accessed and used in many cases. The drop down menus make for easy use and the number of reports, both property and financial, that can be generated provide accurate information both user and client. The team at Cirrus8 are constantly developing the software and listen to our needs
Cons:
Would be great to have a mobile phone app
User friendly and
Comments: We have enjoyed using Cirrus and really appreciate the ongoing effort to always improve and add new features to an already well-rounded property management software.
Pros:
Product is incredibly user friendly and certainly helps to improve efficiencies in every day Trust accounting and Property manager duties. The system and processes just makes sense and in turn makes it easier to train staff how to use.
Cons:
As with any system, set up takes time as does finding your way around how to use the new system. There's always new features being added to simplify and improve the software with great training manuals provided to demonstrate how the features should be utilised. The team can sometimes get busy if you need assistance but more often than not an answer to your queries is received within the same day.
Experince
Comments: Experience has been great, always developing and adding enhancements to the system.
Pros:
The simplicity and easy layout to navigate and find the information with out to many clicks.

There is nothing to date that we dislike on the product. There has been some little bugs with the financials we conduct for a listed fund earlier on but fast easy fixes deployed by the developers.
Cirrus8

Tenant Activity - Generating interest on arrears
Not just great software, great people too!
Comments: Exception, understating and supportive. Great delivery and implementation.
Pros:
It’s an easily scalable system that can be set up as easily or intricately that you like. There’s an abundance of reports and KPI’s plus a very easy way of tracking g all the myriad of tiny details within our industry.
Cons:
It’s all good from my perspective. My own technological issues are more of a problem!
Cirrus8 - Great platform for Commercial Property Management
Pros:
Dashboard of Cirrus8 shows the tasks due which make the user efficient at their work. Moreover, it is very easy to use, which makes it easier for staff training. It provides great reporting functions. The reports can be generated in several formats and can be narrowed down to the information required. The integration with Macquarie works so well. The TXN file can be downloaded directly from the bank to the system and it makes receipting quicker and saves a lot of time with minimum chances of error. The payment upload is also done without having to log in into the bank which is a greater time saver.
Cons:
There is no App currently available for Cirrus8, it will be a lot better if that could happen.
