Agilysys Hospitality Solutions and eviivo both aim to serve the property management needs of hotels but diverge sharply in their ideal property fit. Agilysys targets larger resorts and casinos with complex operational needs, indicated by its user base including 28% resorts and 14% casinos, and a design that integrates F&B, spa, and sales systems. eviivo, by contrast, excels with small to medium independent properties such as B&Bs, vacation rentals, and boutique hotels, supported by 230 reviews mostly from these segments and a cloud-native platform.
Both products solve the core problem of centralizing reservations, guest communications, housekeeping, and billing workflows. They reduce manual work and improve guest service by automating routine tasks and syncing data across channels. However, their differing scopes and technical approaches direct them to distinct hotel types.
If your property is a resort or casino with complex, multi-departmental operations requiring integration of F&B, spa, and sales modules, Agilysys’s 43 reviews and 4/5 rating across these segments make it a strong candidate. Its unique features such as rules-based room assignments and integrated ID scanning suit high-touch service environments. However, note Agilysys has no recent reviews in the last six months, so its current product iteration may be less reflected in ratings.
If you run a small to medium independent hotel, B&B, or vacation rental portfolio, eviivo’s 230 reviews with a 4.6/5 overall rating and 25 recent reviews averaging 4.1/5 make it the better choice. Its cloud-based architecture and mobile app support operators managing multiple properties or remote teams. eviivo’s support and onboarding ratings (4.4/5) highlight its suitability for smaller teams needing fast setup and assistance. For large branded or airport hotels, data is thinner, but eviivo’s flexible platform still offers value.
Ease of use ratings favor eviivo (4.5/5) slightly over Agilysys (4.4/5), with a more pronounced gap in onboarding scores (4.4/5 vs. 3.7/5). Reviewers of eviivo frequently praise its intuitive interface and rapid staff training, describing it as “super fast” and “easy to use,” which reduces operational friction for front desk and housekeeping teams. Agilysys users note a steeper learning curve due to numerous buttons and sub-buttons but find it logical once learned.
The lack of recent Agilysys reviews obscures how well its current UI supports new staff. eviivo’s mobile app and centralized inbox streamline daily workflows, especially for multi-property managers. This operational ease translates to less time spent on reservations and guest communications.
Edge: eviivo.
Agilysys offers 5 unique hotel-relevant features absent in eviivo, including integrated ID & passport scanning that pre-fills registration, voice-to-text mobile notes and tasks, a lobby kiosk, and rules-based room assignments. These tools cater to hotels needing advanced guest identity verification and flexible room allocation workflows, often critical in resorts and casinos.
eviivo’s unique features are cloud-based deployment and integrated EPoS, which simplify mobile and remote operations and unify payments and sales data. The cloud model facilitates updates, remote access, and lowers infrastructure costs, benefiting small to mid-sized properties with limited IT resources.
Both share 49 common features, covering core PMS functions like reservation management, housekeeping, and billing. The presence of advanced guest identity scanning and room assignment logic in Agilysys makes it more suitable for properties requiring sophisticated front desk control.
Edge: Agilysys Hospitality Solutions.
eviivo leads in customer support with ratings of 4.4/5 for support and onboarding, versus Agilysys’s 3.9/5 and 3.7/5 respectively. eviivo reviewers consistently commend its “responsive,” “knowledgeable,” and “proactive” support team, emphasizing that hands-on onboarding eased setup and reduced internal staff burden. One user highlights eviivo’s support as “fantastic,” praising quick responses and helpful staff.
Agilysys users report slower response times and longer waits for product enhancements, with some noting delays impacting service quality. While Agilysys is responsive to feedback and custom solutions, its support experience appears less consistent and timely.
Edge: eviivo.
eviivo offers 35 verified integrations, surpassing Agilysys’s 23 by over 50%. Both integrate with Actabl and eRevMax, but eviivo uniquely connects with major OTAs and revenue management tools such as Tripadvisor, RoomPriceGenie, PriceLabs, and D-Edge, which are crucial for independent hotels prioritizing distribution and dynamic pricing.
Agilysys’s integrations include SEVENROOMS and SiteMinder, aligning with resorts and branded hotels needing sophisticated guest experience and channel management solutions. However, Agilysys lacks many OTA and revenue management integrations that eviivo provides.
For multi-property independents relying heavily on OTAs and pricing automation, eviivo’s broader partner ecosystem is a significant operational advantage.
Edge: eviivo.
eviivo outperforms Agilysys across all comparable segments with an overall rating of 4.6/5 from 230 reviews versus Agilysys’s 4/5 from 43 reviews. eviivo maintains a strong recent rating of 4.1/5 from 25 reviews in the last six months, while Agilysys has no recent reviews, leaving current performance less certain.
Segment-specific ratings show eviivo scoring 4.7+ stars in Bed & Breakfast & Inns (111 reviews), Boutique Hotels (48), Vacation Rentals & Villas (78), and Extended Stay (22), reflecting strong satisfaction among small to mid-sized independent properties. Agilysys’s best-rated segments are Casinos (4.4/5, 20 reviews) and Luxury Hotels (4.4/5, 18 reviews), aligning with its target market.
The higher volume and recency of eviivo reviews make its ratings more representative of current user experience. Agilysys’s lack of recent feedback weakens confidence in its ongoing product satisfaction.
Edge: eviivo.
Agilysys’s published base price is $1,000 with no monthly flat or per-room fees, and no implementation fee or trial. eviivo’s base price is lower at $700, also with no monthly fees or implementation charges and no trial offered.
Neither product publishes detailed pricing models such as per-room or user fees, limiting direct total cost comparisons. However, eviivo’s lower base price and cloud-based nature may reduce upfront and IT infrastructure costs, benefiting smaller operators.

Not ideal if:
Agilysys Hospitality Solutions and eviivo both solve property management challenges but serve distinct hotel segments with different operational needs. Agilysys excels in large resort and casino environments demanding integrated, multi-departmental management and advanced front desk tools like ID scanning and rules-based room assignments. eviivo specializes in small to medium independents, vacation rentals, and multi-property portfolios needing cloud-based access, ease of use, extensive OTA integrations, and mobile control.
Choose Agilysys if your property requires complex departmental integration and advanced guest verification features, and you have the training capacity to manage a more complex interface. Its comprehensive functionality can reduce reliance on third-party vendors in large-scale operations.
Choose eviivo if you operate multiple small to medium properties, prioritize rapid onboarding, mobile management, and strong channel distribution support. Its higher user ratings and active recent reviews reflect a system suited to independent hoteliers focused on growth and operational simplicity.

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. Agilysys Hospitality Solutions has an HT Score of 70 and eviivo has 88. 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 →
