AppFolio Property Manager: Make data security a priority.
Typically, small and midsized businesses can't afford advanced security for their data and must rely on door locks and an alarm. Not only that, if a server crashes or data corrupts, there is no backup server in place to continue operations until it's fixed or replaced. In contrast, AppFolio Property Manager runs in a state-of-art data center and network, ensuring the highest levels of security available today.
