Performance of CSG Forte Across Market Features

CSG Forte Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ability to work well with the property management and landlord industry which can be a challenging industry for others in the payment industry to work within. Forte has been extremely robust, providing us the scalability and reliability that is critical for our market. Forte has an amazingly robust reporting system.

Like

All in one solution, ease of use, responsiveness of customer and technical support.

Dislike

This isn't related to their service; however, they recently transitioned to Microsoft Office encrypted email service and we use the Google email platform there is a slight incompatibility in communication which creates a small inconvenience to us each month. Otherwise, I don't have anything negative to say about Forte, they are great.

Dislike

Honestly there isn't anything we don't like. It's the perfect solution
