Your hotel is weighing two property management systems: Cloudbeds PMS by Cloudbeds and Engisoft by Enginyeria de Software S.A. Both aim to streamline operations, but Cloudbeds clearly dominates in reviews, recent feedback, and overall user satisfaction. Given the data, how do these two compare on key frontiers that matter most to your team?
Cloudbeds offers a unified, feature-rich platform backed by over 1,000 recent reviews, while Engisoft has minimal publicly available feedback and no recent reviews. Is your goal to choose a proven, widely adopted system or to explore a lesser-known option?
Cloudbeds is renowned for its ease of use, extensive features, and global presence, supported by a strong reputation with over 1,000 recent reviews and a 4.63/5 overall rating. In contrast, Engisoft, with no reviews or ratings, lacks the same market validation and community trust. While Cloudbeds integrates reservation, channel management, and revenue tools into one platform, Engisoft offers reservation, billing, and housekeeping functionalities but without comparable depth or user validation.
Both aim to simplify daily property operations, but Cloudbeds’ proven performance and dedicated support set it apart. Do you want a system that’s been tested, trusted, and refined through thousands of hoteliers’ feedback?
If your hotel needs a scalable, intuitive platform with proven reliability and comprehensive integration, go with Cloudbeds. It’s particularly suitable if you prioritize a system with high user satisfaction, a broad partner network, and recent, positive reviews.
If your hotel’s focus is on a basic, cloud-based PMS with reservation and housekeeping features, and you’re willing to accept a less validated solution, Engisoft might fit. However, without recent feedback or a large user base, it’s harder to gauge its effectiveness or support quality.
For most hoteliers seeking confidence in their technology investment, Cloudbeds’ market presence and recent reviews make it the clear choice.
Cloudbeds scores a 4.61/5 in ease of use, with many reviewers praising its intuitive interface, straightforward onboarding, and staff adoption. Users report that even non-technical staff find it simple to navigate, reducing training time and operational friction.
Engisoft lacks publicly available usability scores or recent user feedback, making it difficult to assess its user experience. With only a small team and no recent reviews, its ease of use remains unverified.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds offers 45 features exclusive to its platform, including channel management, online check-in, guest messaging, automated reminders, integrated payment terminals, and real-time reporting. It also supports multi-currency, native email marketing, task management, and a mobile housekeeping app, enabling a full operational suite.
Engisoft provides core reservation, billing, and housekeeping functionalities but lacks the extensive, specialized features Cloudbeds offers. With no additional features listed beyond basic management, Engisoft’s feature set appears limited.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds boasts a 4.41/5 support rating, with numerous reviews highlighting its responsive and attentive customer service. Review excerpts mention “support team always responds quickly,” and “Cloudbeds has gone the extra mile,” indicating a strong support experience.
Engisoft provides no publicly available support ratings or recent customer testimonials, leaving its support quality uncertain. The absence of recent reviews diminishes confidence in its post-sale service.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds integrates with 190 verified partners, including major OTAs, payment gateways, and automation tools, enabling extensive customization and operational flexibility. Its integration ecosystem includes popular systems like SiteMinder, Umi Digital, and others, supporting a broad range of property needs.
Engisoft has only 8 verified partners, with minimal mention of integration breadth. Its limited partner network suggests fewer opportunities for seamless connections and automation.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds’ reviews emphasize ease of use, support, and feature depth, with a 4.63/5 rating from over 1,000 recent reviews, reflecting broad trust and satisfaction across various hotel types. Its high NPS score of 8.94/10 and 91% likelihood to recommend further reinforce this.
Engisoft’s lack of reviews means there is no feedback to gauge hotel satisfaction or property-specific ratings. With no data points, user preferences clearly favor Cloudbeds.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds’ base pricing starts at $600/month, with no free tier or trial information publicly available. It’s positioned as a premium system with a clear monthly fee.
Engisoft does not publicly disclose pricing, making comparisons difficult. It’s likely a more opaque, potentially lower-cost alternative, but without transparency, assessing value is challenging.
Given Cloudbeds’ established pricing and known value, it’s the more predictable investment.
Not ideal if you prefer a minimal, low-cost solution with limited features or are comfortable with unverified software.
Not ideal if you need a system with extensive features, proven reliability, or dedicated support.
Cloudbeds’ core advantage is its market validation, with over 1,000 recent reviews and a 4.63/5 rating, making it a trusted choice. Its extensive feature set, strong support, and global presence position it as the most reliable system for medium to large hotels seeking growth.
Engisoft remains an unverified, lesser-known option with no recent reviews, limited integrations, and uncertain support quality. Its lack of feedback makes it unsuitable for hotels prioritizing stability and proven performance.
If your hotel values a tested, feature-rich platform with ongoing support, Cloudbeds is the clear leader. For those exploring minimal solutions with little emphasis on community validation, Engisoft might be worth a test, but risks are higher.
In summary, for the majority of hoteliers seeking security, scalability, and proven success, Cloudbeds is the recommended choice.

Cloudbeds is frequently described as intuitive and quick to learn, which reduces training time for new staff and helps properties adopt the system quickly. Reviewers also value tutorials, university resources, and onboarding help, though some ask for retraining or deeper guidance on advanced features.

Support is a major theme, with many users praising fast help and knowledgeable agents when they can reach a person. The most common complaint is reliance on chatbot/email workflows and slow escalation, which is problematic for urgent front-desk issues that can affect guest experience and revenue.

Users repeatedly say Cloudbeds' calendar is the clearest part of the product, giving front-desk teams a fast view of occupancy, room types, booking status, and daily reservations. It helps hotels manage check-ins, check-outs, split stays, and room changes more efficiently, reducing errors during busy operations.

Reviewers often mention invoice templates, receipts, statement review, and centralized guest billing as helpful for daily operations and guest checkout. At the same time, the Folio flow for adding extras can be click-heavy, and some users want stronger tax, currency, and accounting handling inside Cloudbeds instead of using separate systems.
A frequent criticism is that the mobile app lacks enough operational depth for staff on the move. Reviewers want booking creation, availability manage... A frequent criticism is that the mobile app lacks enough operational depth for staff on the move. Reviewers want booking creation, availability management, notifications, calendar access, and more stable performance directly in the app instead of having to switch to email or desktop.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. Cloudbeds has an HT Score of 100 and Enginyeria de Software S.A. (ENGISOFT) has 0. Here is how the score is calculated.
| 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. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
