For a Software that controls cost and the financial aspects of the Project, it does a fair job for how much it costs, even if does not have any graphic output or the ability to evaluate the financial aspects overtime. You will need a separate tool for any forecast study, cash flow analysis and any other more detailed study. Also, the reports it generates are not exactly excel friendly. You will have to work on that too. Even when this more detailed approach is not considered, the financial area is not the only aspect that should be considered, and most importantly, this is not the only feature that is advertised. When it comes to design management, submittals, transmittals, RFIs and such, brace yourself for on of the worst templates and procedures available on the market. You need 7 steps to actually submit a shop drawings but you cannot input a simple automatic approval workflow. The tool designed to control and store design issuances and revisions will make you wish you had messenger pigeons doing the job instead. To end in a slightly higher note, the chat is quite helpful.

Updates without proper training. Making us un-aware of the changes in advance creates confussion.

Compiles contact list as you add subcontractor information, but you cannot track or search the trades a company can perform work for. This makes it difficult to find other companies that other teams in the company use without creating an external list or speaking to others about this directly. Unable to issues multiple cost codes to one subcontractor, makes it difficult when one sub is doing multiple trades but I have to show negative amounts on one line item while showing pure profit on the others. The submittal process is extremely repetitive and doesn't include a submittal sheet with a signature page for the architects and designers. Constant calendar reminders and emails for submittals get overwhelming when you have multiple projects going through the same phase at the same time. Progress reports should have an option to be emailed out at the end of the day. This allows the team to see the progress and status for multiple projects without having to log in and review multiple projects. There is currently nothing for scheduling, but it'd be great to have a project schedule that was incorporated (like a 3 week) to keep the office and field teams in sync. Formatting isn't too bad, but takes a while to know where everything is. Reports would be helpful to have in one location.

Not field friendly enough. should not have to comment on every picture. progress pictures need no explaining. Issue pictures yes, needs to be optional.

The program is not user friendly. Also, there are times that the program runs so slow that I will have to skip to my other responsibilities.

The website is not very user friendly. Runs slow and occasionally kicks you out. Not consistant with the speed of use. Sometimes we can get alot done other times we spend more time waiting for the program to respond.
