Pereview is a “life of the asset” platform for commercial real estate investors that combines deal pipeline, asset management, portfolio analytics and investor reporting in one data model, with debt tracked alongside equity as a first-class object. It connects to roughly seventy systems including Yardi, MRI and RealPage, and its AI ingestion engine normalizes operating data across programs. If your firm wants one platform for the whole investment lifecycle, Pereview is a serious candidate. If your firm’s most expensive problems live inside loan documents, it is worth looking at platforms where debt is the core product rather than a module.
We built one of those platforms, so read the comparison with that in mind.
What Pereview does well
Pereview’s argument is integration. Rather than bolting a debt tool onto an asset management tool onto an investor portal, it holds operating data, debt, equity, underwriting and reporting in one layer. In practice that means an asset manager can see DSCR and LTV next to occupancy and leasing without exporting from three systems. Its reporting is configurable, its integration library is broad, and it prices by property, which is predictable for growing portfolios.
For an institutional investor whose bottleneck is quarterly reporting across dozens of assets and multiple funds, this is the right shape of product.
Why debt-heavy firms look at alternatives
The public reviews are positive on the platform overall and thin on debt specifically, which matches what we hear. Three reasons come up.
Debt depth. Pereview tracks core loan terms, balances, maturities and headline covenants. It does not abstract 400 fields per loan, and the provisions that generate compliance work (lender adjustments to NOI, hypothetical amortization tests, replacement cap requirements, recourse burndown, cash management triggers, partial release formulas, supplemental tests) live outside the model or in free-text fields.
Prepayment and hedging. Real-time yield maintenance and defeasance costs against live curves, swap mark-to-market and cap valuations are not the platform’s focus. Hold/sell analysis that needs the exact prepayment cost on a future date still gets built in Excel.
Who owns the tool. Pereview is bought by asset management or the COO. Debt is owned by capital markets or the CFO, who want a lender compliance package and a prepayment quote, not a portfolio dashboard. The two needs coexist; they are not the same purchase.
The alternatives
LoanBoss is a debt engine, not an asset management suite. An in-house team abstracts each loan to 400+ fields with two rounds of QA, the platform integrates with your property accounting system for live financials, and each lender’s DSCR and debt yield adjustments are configured per loan so compliance tests reproduce the lender’s own math. Prepayment costs (yield maintenance, defeasance, spread maintenance, step-downs, swap breakage) calculate for any date. Hedge requirements carry live mark-to-market and replacement cap costs. Reports the team already uses are rebuilt to refresh automatically. What LoanBoss does not do: deal pipeline, investor portals, equity waterfalls. Firms that need both run Pereview or a similar suite for the asset side and LoanBoss for debt.
Yardi Investment Suite / Debt Manager is the integrated option for firms on Voyager, with the same breadth-over-depth profile on debt. See Yardi Debt Manager alternatives.
JLL Debt Management System centralizes loan terms, covenants, maturities and payments with breach alerts and compliance reporting, and comes with JLL’s advisory bench. Enterprise pricing, sales-led references.
Chatham Financial combines debt tracking with derivatives advisory and hedge accounting; the strongest fit for managers with large hedge books.
RealINSIGHT is a lender-and-servicer system of record for loan surveillance, covenant tracking and collateral analysis. It appears in this comparison because the models often list it, but it is built for the other side of the table. Borrowers evaluating it should confirm the workflow is borrower-facing.
A practical way to compare
Take your three hardest loans and ask each vendor to show, live, the following:
- The lender’s DSCR test with every adjustment applied, and the source of each input.
- The prepayment cost on a date six months out, with the rate lookback the documents specify.
- The replacement cap requirement, the deadline, and today’s cost to buy it.
- The SREO on the lender’s template, generated without editing.
A unified platform will show you where those items are stored. A debt engine will show you the number. Both answers are legitimate; they answer different questions.
A worked example: the same loan in a suite and in an engine
An institutional investor holds a $68 million CMBS loan on a suburban office asset, closed in 2019, with a ten-year term, defeasance after a two-year lockout, a cash management agreement that springs at 1.15x DSCR or on the loss of the largest tenant, and TI/LC reserves that fund at $1.50 per square foot with a $2 million cap.
In a unified asset management platform the loan shows its balance, rate, maturity and headline DSCR beside the asset’s occupancy, leasing pipeline and valuation. The asset manager sees that the largest tenant’s lease expires in fourteen months and that DSCR is 1.31x. Useful, and the reason the platform was bought.
In a debt engine the same loan shows that the cash management trigger uses a DSCR definition that excludes tenants within twelve months of expiry, which means the largest tenant drops out of the test in two months and DSCR on the lender’s definition falls to 1.09x, springing the sweep. It shows defeasance cost today at $7.4 million and at $5.1 million in nine months on the forward curve, the open period start date, and the reserve cap that will be hit in Q3. Investment committee needs both screens; the second one is the reason the owner will keep its cash flow.
How to decide between a suite and an engine
| Your situation | Lean toward |
|---|---|
| Bottleneck is quarterly reporting across funds and investors | A suite like Pereview |
| Bottleneck is lender compliance, prepayment quotes and hedge deadlines | A debt engine like LoanBoss |
| Both, and budget for one | Whichever failure is more expensive; usually the debt one |
| Both, and budget for both | Suite for the asset side, engine as the debt system of record feeding it |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Pereview and LoanBoss run together?
Yes. Several customers use an asset management suite for pipeline and investor reporting and LoanBoss as the debt system of record. LoanBoss data is exportable, and both integrate with the same accounting platforms.
Does LoanBoss have investor reporting?
No. We build lender-facing and internal debt reports (compliance packages, SREOs, debt summaries, maturity schedules, hedge reports) and replicate the reports your team already uses. Investor portals and waterfalls are not in scope.
How does pricing differ?
Pereview prices per property on a quoted basis. LoanBoss prices on the portfolio. Both are quote-based; ask for pricing on your actual loan count rather than a list price.
Which is faster to implement?
LoanBoss onboards 92% of clients within six weeks because the heavy lifting (abstraction, report replication, integration) is done by our team. Suite implementations scale with the number of modules and integrations in scope.
What does Pereview not track on a loan?
Pereview tracks core loan terms, balances, maturities and headline covenants. It does not abstract 400 fields per loan, and the provisions that generate compliance work (lender adjustments to NOI, hypothetical amortization tests, replacement cap requirements, recourse burndown, cash management triggers, partial release formulas, supplemental tests) live outside the model or in free-text fields.
