The customer service experience is fantastic. They are always happy to jump on the phone or Zoom with you to solve issues and get you running at 100% again.
Unfortunately being cloud based when the internet is out I have to wait a while to continue work, first world problems.
Overall the interaction with Groundplan and in particular [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been fantastic, the training sessions we had were very informative and a lot of fun.
The lack of global variables. If you could make global variables for labour and materials this.
Smart guide has been a great addition - and it's great being able to create new symbols as required and the support is FANTASTIC.
Inability to fully integrate with Smartbiz software.
The development and growth of Groundplan is fantastic with users suggestions taken into consideration and implemented where appropriate. Everything I need is right here in Groundplan.
Slightly difficult to manipulate symbols etcPlan preview could be biggerMan hours to enter individual symbols with no auto shuffle button for symbols.
I haven't used the cost estimating on it yet but I plan to and I feel like there is great value in it once I get that setup. I love the little tricks that help make the take-offs go much faster.
This never used to be the case (I have used the software for ten or more years). It seems every time they get bought, the problem gets worse.
Best in industry, good speed and better for revisions. Apart from that, counting is very easy.
Everything was horrible including the customer support.
The ease of use for missing measurements and the ability to highlight the areas in question is remarkably easy to use. Impressed by the feature that allows for a total linear footage.
The only problem with this program is that is is a bit pricey.
Anyway I can recommend this software for new users who are looking to have there estimation purpose. I am happy overall quality of the software.
Software is hard-coded to call Internet Explorer and ignore other browsers, even if the default is set in Windows.
