Breadth versus depth
All-in-one platforms make a reasonable bet: most firms need many things done adequately rather than one thing done exceptionally. For a diversified portfolio that bet usually pays off.
It stops paying off when one workflow carries disproportionate risk. CAM recovery is annual, large, and audited — which makes it the workflow where adequate is not the same as sufficient.
How to decide
Bring one real lease with a base year and a cap to both vendors and ask each to model it and produce the reconciliation. Ask specifically what is retained afterwards and what you could hand an auditor.
If both answer well, take the broader product. If only one can show the trace, the decision has made itself.
