Vectorworks is an award-winning design and BIM software provider serving the architecture, landscape architecture and design, and entertainment industries in 85 countries.
Procore connects all members of construction project teams -including owners, general contractors and subcontractors- from field to office.
We take advantage of the software’s BIM capabilities to generate elevations, schedules, and smart tags. This program is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
It must be integrated with other software solutions and at least on MacBook Pro it is a disaster. I understand that it is not entirely a software problem but it is really depressing.
Vectorworks is a great drafting program. It allows you to do anything you want, with great control over how the drawings look, and many ways to organize a complete drawing set.
Because of the limited use of this program in some markets, collaborating with others can be difficult.
Classes and layers system is generally a good way of working. I like the clean appearance of the workspace.
The biggest drawbacks to using Vectorworks is that it is not as widely used in the construction industry, so can be limited in transferring between consultants etc.
BIM capabilities, ease of learning, ease of use, ease of rendering, Smart tools, exceptional customer service, stability and speed of work.
And for BIM, it is hard to justify not using the industry standard software. So where is the edge for Vectorworks.
I have confidence that their development focus on financials and reporting will deliver significantly improved functionality. The total solution that is available makes the wait worth it for sure.
Everyone I know who has used the Procore bidding tool thinks it is horrible. Subcontractors hate it and GC’s do, too.
With our specialized role, we have found that Procore is flexible to our needs has been an excellent tool supported by great customer service and training.
Procore can be very difficult for people that are not tech savvy. I have foremen in the field that struggle using it due to being unfamiliar with technology.
Great news to project manager which helps manage multiple projects and also collaborate across all Engineers from different project and helpful documentation solution.
The issues cause lost time, loss of production and money.
I like the Drawing tool and the seamless ability for all team members to confidently have the latest version of the drawings.
Not able to manually sync projects ourselves in real time. Given the cost of the software I'm shocked there's no solution.
Valeria B.: Hi. My name is Valeria. I'm an administrative assistant for an HVAC company, and I give Procore a four out of five. I use Procore to upload submitted data for our projects, and I also use it to submit operation maintenance manuals. What I like most about Procore is that it's very easy to use. It doesn't take a lot to upload files nor to send a message on it. It's very quick. You just drag it and upload it and you're done. What I dislike about Procore is that if you're not an administrator, you can't upload data. So if you're a collaborator, you can't upload data. So for example, I'm not there at work, my coworkers cannot upload anything unless I give them a username or I'm physically there to upload it, because they don't have that access.
