I like the appearance for the most part, clarity of wording and ability to track the progress of submissions and status updates on things.
Sometimes maneuvering in the program may take a little longer than expected. However, I believe that this problem is not e-Builder's but our company's band width that is the problem.
E-Builder is an amazing product. I recommend it to any agency that is looking to improve businesses practices, data collection, and increase overall efficiency.
It drives me nuts I can only see two or three documents in the tiny window when I do materials review & file naming consistency.
Ease of use \ dependability \ easy access to outstanding customer service and support \ ability to create custom reports.
Unfamiliarity with the program has been a difficult hump to get over.
The new implementation features that will be rolled out in the coming months will also be a valuable asset to our future growth with e-Builder that we are excited to be a part of.
No iCloud, DropBox, Google interphase or anything.
However, if you like you can use simple unit takeoffs and apply a cost to them later. Proest can be as complex or as simple as you'd like for it to be and for the money, it's a pretty good program.
Terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it.
Overall it is a great system, they have an awesome trainer that will work with you until you got it. Customer service is also real helpful.
Mid way through my ownership they rolled out the cloud based application of the software and it was garbage, lost of glitches, very slow response, etc.
I liked that this software is very simple and easy, and we had free training sessions which was very useful. I also find the take off system and tools very powerful and the database is huge.
I do have one complaint which may seem petty, but it is an annoyance.
I have been using ProEst for the last year and have for the most part been very happy. The customer support has been very good.
Building an assembly from scratch is so difficult that they now have someone in house that does this for their customers because its so difficult, think about that.
Robert: Hi, my name's Robert. I am an applications developer. I give e-Builder a four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, you can click the link below. What we use e-Builder for is schedule control, document control. We use it for some workflow management. And then we also use it for I guess a little bit of analytics, but not as much on the analytics side. Wow. To pick one thing is pretty tough, but I think just the fact that it's an all-in-one solution. It really meets all of the needs that we have to manage a design or a construction or design build project from start to finish. I think what I like least is probably the same thing that I like most, is that it is kind of an all-in-one. So for some of our smaller, less robust projects, it's kind of overkill. We would like to, I think, be able to use certain pieces of it, like just the schedule piece or just the document management piece potentially, opposed to having to use the entire thing.
