Opiniones de Kigo

La cuidadosa atención al cliente y el apoyo durante la pandemia.

Para ser empresa pequeña a nosotros sobraban muchas funciones.

Kigi can offer you all solution such as website channel manager in one package. They have the newest technology and setup.

For a small company with only one or two properties, KIGO is expensive. KIGO is more suitable for the big players

good support even though support are at the mercy of the developers when it comes to more serious issues. Calendars update nicely across the channel manager

Kigo seems more intent on rolling out new more expensive software rather than addressing issues that I, and no doubt many other current customers have. Many of my issues, although relatively minor have not been resolved in the last 12months. The Kigo websites look decent enough but their functionality for would be online bookers is very poor. To add, I am now told that my ongoing issues won't be resolved as Kigo will roll out an updated version of the software as well as new look/functionality websites. Rather than do the right thing and give old customers access to these new features Kigo want me to signa new contract and pay more per month + tack on a monthly hosting website fee (a hosting fee that was already included in my current contract).

I start by saying that i think no one suffer as much with kigo as we did! Looking back (8 years) i consider that the learning curve and expertise we got form all the problems we faced made us the company we are today and for this we are very thankful.

For all potentional clients looking to Kigo this is what you need to know:

1) There are no perfect software systems (gold rule), but after all the changes Kigo did in 2017 i know that Kigo is not only the best software on the market but also will change the way that many PM do their business and is always adding new features and solutions that will surprise you and put your business on the right track.

2) The customer support is incredible, and allow me the personal BIG thank you to Júlia Peixoto that completely changed the relation and vision we had with Kigo through her work.

3) the leader of Kigo, is a visionary and I know he is already changing our market and a lot more will come.
4) I would need to highlight the rest of the team, but having people like is a game changer and give us all the trust on their future.

5) Finally, i do remember an ad Kigo had few years ago that said "Do not bring a Knife to a Guns Fight" (i know it´s to American) but actually it honestly represents what working with kigo means: you count with a system (that is not perfect) but allows you to be on top of the game, feel protected and prepared for the future!

To be fair, with 8 years experience using the system, 1500 characters wouldn´t be enough! However, i would like to add my value to this question by focusing on something diferent that you will find from the other reviews:

1) There are no perfect systems, so there is no point of putting all the faults on a system and expect all the solutions just because you are paying a small fee per month.

2) It´s very funny to see clients from Kigo or other PMS, making huge complains about the service provided when everybody makes errors and bad experiences on their companies, pointing the finger it´s easy, how you contribute to avoid them and make a better service is what is important and on this field, kigo, since 2017, have been delivering.

3) In RentExperience, we learned a basic rule, a company like Kigo won´t make a solution for one specific client so you need to understand your business, your goals and how you will achieve them. The value proposition of Kigo nowadays is to give you a software that can give you "peace of mind" of the day to day work and make your company more efficient but the rest it will have to come from you!

To finalize, there is a reason why we still work with Kigo....because we are believers! We believe on Kigo system and their team! They are always looking to the future and developing new tools to companies like us to be better and at the end of the day, allow us to make more money!

The Booking Engine Setup is very straightforward to use for setting up booking rules, whilst the App Bookings Manager functionality itself is equally easy to use for receiving payments, issuing refunds, communicating with Customers, and in general for managing all the various different aspects of vacation bookings.

The Analytics Dashboard within the App is an exceptionally useful tool for providing a snapshot of the current status of reservations, which helps a great deal in organising property housekeeping and maintenance services, besides enabling us to quickly and efficiently produce detailed real-time progress reports to the reservations team and overall performance reports for company shareholders.

Apart from the functionalities, we continue to receive an outstanding level of customer support from all areas, be that from our dedicated Account Manager, Web Development Expert or Members of the Billing Team. Queries are promptly resolved within a timely and satisfactory manner.

All in all, most of the software functionalities are intuitive and user friendly, whilst the Team behind the software is continuously fine tuning them and keeps adding new features.

Using KIGO has gone a long way towards ensuring the success of our business during the past two years, and has significantly contributed to our expansion. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to enter the hospitality industry, or for existing businesses looking to maximise their revenue.

The translation of the Document Templates within the Setup functionality is not 100% accurate; this should be highlighted as an area for further improvement, as it is likely to be a concern for a business with a large pool of international clientele, who may not necessarily speak or understand English.

The Search Engine Optimisation functionality within Setup is not very easy to understand for a layman, and would require the involvement of a professional SEO expert.

The calendar is helpful. I am just typing now because of minimum characters.

Everything else.

The functionality is clunky. My concept of what KIGO was when I signed up and what I think it should be vs. what it actually is for me is totally different. I only use it because I dont have time to find something better.

speaking about the pros, it is really useful in the sync of the prices and all related to the properties and its owners.

Regarding the cost i would like to sugesst a report that provides the actual information of our needs. for example: We need to have the real information about what happened in the 1st quarter of the semester and when i extract some information from several reports... it gives me DIFERENT result every time, so at the end i dont know which information is the most reliable.

i´d like to know how much money i got in months in specific (Jan, Feb and March) regardless the date of the booking (for example: if i got a booking in september for january i would like to see it in January, not in september)

If i get an info from the occupancy dashboard it has to match with the "booking by lead source" report, or the "bookings by agent" report.

We try to compare our performance from 2017 with 2018 and it is really hard when you have different information with the same parameters or dates. and that leads you to not knowing which one is the right one.

i think that all the reports should match... one that says the right % of occupancy, other one with the main lead sources, other one that says how much money you have collected etc etc where at the end all of them match with the number of booking, number of money, number of occupancy, booked nights, and so on.

and with all of these you can EXACTLY measure your performance per season, per quarters and so on.

Kigo allows API connections with the majority of the main stream channels for short term rentals. It is pretty easy to use, constantly developed with new upgrades, 24/7 customer service available for your needs. So many features available, you can customize its usage to make it a bespoke SaaS for your business.

As it is on-cloud, the common objections are about its responsiveness (very good itself but in some cases, the staff had to fix some delays with connections to portals, probably caused by portals too. These type of issues can prevent rates&avaiability updates depending on the portal you are going to deal with: for e.g., Booking.com does not allow a manual un-lock if the connetcion with Kigo is down for a while (I have experienced this a couple of times in the year). This means that you have to put yourself in touch with the customer service immediately in order to avoid overbookings or reservations with wrong fares. However, this is a common issue you will find working with channel managers and the strength of Kigo is its prompt help provided by his team that you could not find joining others.

1 is the service. I've never seen a company this large with a culture so strong. I've yet to meet ONE person that's been in a sales OR support role that didn't go above and beyond what their role scope called for to ensure our experience is great.
2 is the simplicity of the software
3 - The dynamic price tool
4- Channel connections
5- Always willing to improve and listens to all their customers(Very Important for me)

I wish the software had better reporting(which i know is coming very soon for the KIGO PAY which is a new product)
Also, it's not yet connected with Trip Advisor
Waiting on Home automation

What I like most about Kigo is that it is very easy to synchronize the photos and information reserves with all the pages and above all it has a good technical support team that always helps you at all times and with much interest, they are fantastic.

There are two things I do not like about Kigo. One is that the synchronization with tripadvisor is not done automatically. I have had a reserve 8000 a week booking in a villa in Marbella from tripadvisor and I had to close the calendar manually so I created a lot of stress because it was a very important reservation. I do not like that of so many pages with Kigo collaborates only three or four send us reservations. Of 20 pages only 3 have Booking for us.

Easy to use, and features , solutions, lay out, etc

pro calendar speed , slow to load the homes and should contain prices as on initial launch of pro ....

This software is easy to use and has been very beneficial in the growth of our company. We are happy with the support that we receive when we have any questions. We love that the company is always looking to keep up with the ever changing technology. We are very happy with our decision to go with Kigo and am happy to recommend.

Would like to see a calendar view when the owners log in to view reservations rather than a display of the dates.

Kigo is an all inclusive product with its own channel manager.

Channels are limited, funds are uncomfortably controlled, and you had to use three different softwares to run your business

The software allows us to have control over multiple channels and integrate them all into one location. We can not only manage the channels but KIGO allows us to manage our guests and communicate efficiently. Awesome feature that we are working through is the operations side of kigo pro to have our staff communicate with other employees within the company.She is always available to provide help and make sure our company is successful in every part of our business.

This would be a difficult one to answer however, I would love for kigo and kigo pro to be a combined page instead of two. Also, There are a tons of features that KIGO provides however there are amazing features that we have the ability to use but do not know about. I would love a deep dive of features and not use an overview training.

The most I like is the efficient Support Team, specially the Russian speaking agent, who is always available to help and gives excellent support. The system has many useful features and they are continuously working to improve the quality. All in one solution is very useful to manage the connections with different portals, reservations, and all related operations. I really recommend her to all property managers.

Please do not remove the seasons feature option, I really like this option and would be great you fix it.

The user interface was modern and appealing to the eye. The optional web site design with sign up feature is awesome and a great value.

The on-boarding process took a ridiculously long time and their customer service team did not do a good job of keeping me informed on what was going on. Some of the features did not work as explained and the "data migration process" was almost non-existent and basically all manual entry.
