Choosing the right property management system (PMS) hinges on your hotel’s specific needs, operational complexity, and future growth plans. Both Avon Data’s Rezcontrol PMS and eviivo Suite™ aim to streamline hotel operations, but they diverge significantly in customer feedback, feature sets, and market presence. While Rezcontrol is highly rated for ease of use and customer support, eviivo’s extensive integrations and broader hotel segment reach make it the more proven choice for many hoteliers. Are you ready to see which one aligns better with your hotel’s goals?
Rezcontrol by Avon Data offers a cloud-based, all-in-one PMS tailored for hotels looking for control, simplicity, and personalized service. It focuses on core hotel management functions, with features like integrated payment solutions, tasks, bookings, and event management, alongside a straightforward user interface praised by existing customers. Conversely, eviivo Suite™ targets a broader range of accommodation providers, including B&Bs, vacation rentals, and small hotels, emphasizing online distribution, guest communication, and automation.
Rezcontrol excels in user-friendliness and customer support, with a perfect 5/5 ease of use rating from its few reviews, and a 97% likelihood of recommendation. eviivo, with nearly 200 reviews, scores a 4.43/5 for ease of use and a 95% recommendation rate, showing robust user satisfaction despite its more complex feature set. While Rezcontrol’s reviews are all recent and highly positive, eviivo’s reviews span years and reflect a broad user base, with some negative feedback on customer service, especially regarding its early onboarding.
In essence, Rezcontrol is ideal if you prioritize straightforward, personalized support and a simple, reliable PMS. eviivo is better suited for properties that need extensive integrations and multi-channel distribution, especially if you operate multiple properties or vacation rentals. Which challenges are you seeking to solve first?
If your hotel is a boutique property, limited service, or a luxury operation that values clarity, fast onboarding, and exceptional UK-based support, Rezcontrol is the better fit. Its high customer satisfaction, with 97% likely to recommend, and direct positive reviews about support and ease of use, make it attractive for hotels prioritizing control and simplicity.
If, however, your hotel operates multiple properties, relies heavily on online travel agencies, or needs extensive guest communication tools, eviivo offers a richer feature set with 15 unique functionalities, including AI-powered messaging, multi-currency, and integrations with major OTAs. Its broad international presence and large user base of independent hotels and vacation rentals also suggest greater scalability and distribution reach.
For small, independent hotels looking for a straightforward management solution, Rezcontrol’s clear pricing and dedicated UK support are compelling. Larger or multi-property operators, especially those seeking automation and channel management, should lean toward eviivo.
In summary, choose Rezcontrol if your focus is simplicity and dedicated customer support; opt for eviivo if you need a versatile platform for multi-property distribution and automation.
Rezcontrol’s UI has a perfect 5/5 rating from its few reviews, emphasizing its intuitive design, straightforward onboarding, and flawless setup. Customers appreciate how quickly they adapt, with some mentioning it saves up to 20 minutes per guest, and praise the UK-based support for being accessible and knowledgeable.
eviivo, with a 4.43/5 ease of use score based on 191 reviews, is generally user-friendly but has some criticisms about interface complexity and mobile app functionality. Reviewers highlight that it can be convoluted when managing multiple accommodations, though its mobile app allows on-the-go management, which many find valuable.
Edge: Rezcontrol.
Rezcontrol offers 3 features exclusive to its platform: integrated ID & passport scanning, lobby kiosk, and rules-based room assignments. Its core functionalities include booking management, rates, and tasks, all within a straightforward environment.
eviivo boasts 15 unique features, including ancillary revenue tracking, custom rates, a guest app, integrated CRS, guest messaging, and a mobile app, among others. Its extensive integrations with major OTAs, AI-powered guest messaging, and multi-currency support make it more adaptable for complex, multi-channel operations.
Edge: eviivo, due to its broader feature set and integrations.
Rezcontrol’s customer support receives a perfect 5/5 rating, with reviews emphasizing personalized, knowledgeable UK-based assistance and flawless onboarding. Customers describe the support team as proactive and attentive, making the transition into the platform smooth.
eviivo’s support scores 4.42/5, with reviewers commending its responsiveness and the detailed guidance during onboarding. However, some negative feedback points to occasional delays and difficulty in resolving complex issues, especially in earlier years.
Edge: Rezcontrol.
Rezcontrol integrates with 12 verified partners, including key players like Net Affinity, Bookassist, and SiteMinder, but its ecosystem is narrower. It supports essential integrations for hotel operations but may require additional setup for broader connectivity.
eviivo, with 32 verified partners, offers a significantly larger ecosystem. It seamlessly connects with major OTAs such as Expedia, Booking.com, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and Google Hotel Ads, along with specialized integrations like PriceLabs, TripConnect, and Canary Technologies.
Edge: eviivo.
Rezcontrol holds an undisputed advantage here, with a 97% likelihood of recommendation based on just 6 recent reviews. Its users consistently praise its simplicity, support, and the ability to manage all hotel functions efficiently.
eviivo’s broader user base, with 191 reviews, shows a 95% recommendation rate, but with mixed feedback. Larger operators and vacation rental managers appreciate its extensive features, while some smaller hoteliers find the interface overwhelming and support inconsistent.
Edge: Rezcontrol.
Rezcontrol’s pricing is a flat $1,000 per month, with no hidden fees, implementation costs, or trial options. Its transparent pricing and all-in-one approach suit hotels seeking predictable expenses.
eviivo costs $700 monthly, also without hidden charges or trial options, but its broader feature set and integrations can lead to additional costs for add-ons or premium services. Both platforms are subscription-based, with no mention of setup fees.
In terms of value, Rezcontrol’s straightforward, fixed fee aligns with its simplicity, while eviivo’s slightly lower base price offers more features for the price but may require extra investments for full utilization.
Not ideal if you require extensive integrations, multi-channel distribution, or automation features.
Not ideal if your property is a luxury boutique or requires a highly simplified, personal PMS experience with dedicated UK support.
Rezcontrol by Avon Data excels in simplicity, support, and a dedicated UK user base, making it ideal for boutique and limited-service hotels seeking a reliable PMS with straightforward functionality. Its recent reviews reinforce its reputation for excellent customer service and ease of onboarding, with a perfect recommendation rate.
eviivo, with its extensive feature set, broad integrations, and large global presence, suits multi-property operators, vacation rentals, and hotels aiming to maximize distribution and guest engagement. Despite some mixed reviews, eviivo’s proven adaptability and automation tools make it a compelling choice for growth-minded hoteliers.
If your hotel emphasizes ease and support, Rezcontrol is the safer choice. For those looking for a versatile, scalable platform with a strong online presence and channel management, eviivo is the better fit.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
