Yardi vs. MRI (Should we Switch?)

All: 

We presently use MRI for managing our portfolio of single/multi tenant industrial, retail (power centers) and multifamily. I'm on the acquisition side and find it frustrating that I cannot download rent rolls or t12 financials in nicely formatted excel.  

A prior firm i've worked for used Yardi and its easier to use from my lens. 

That said, curious to get WSO's take? Is Yardi a better platform? Should we switch? Why?

The creator of MRI should be fired into the sun.  Before Resimodel existed, I remember trying to spread an MRI rent roll and almost yeeting my laptop out of a window.  

Good luck convincing your firm to switch, though.  You'll have so many internal opinions to work through.  Your accounting and operations folks would likely need to rebuild their reporting workflows, and managing the switch is tough (likely expensive too).
