General contractors, subcontractors, civil construction, landscape specialists, and construction companies.
Vista is best suited for commercial general contractors, heavy/civil contractors, electrical contractors, mechanical, plumbing & HVAC contractors, but can accommodate many construction contractors.
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.
We have a pretty good experience with Viewpoint. MFM has finally gotten better, and clearview is helpful.
The outside accountants hate this software. I've used over 30 different software packages, and none of them are as bad and poorly designed.
Allow tons of 3rd party vendors to create great supplemental products. Great customization so it can be set up to what is important to your company.
When I make a mistake putting in Accounts payable and use the wrong batch month, it is a little unforgiving to get the mistake corrected. As I learn it is getting easier.
Overall after implementation and 6 months its been wonderful and I would highly recommend it to any Construction Company.
The integration was very poorly done, and we are still experiencing problems related to poor set-up over a year later even though we paid thousands and thousands of dollars for Viewpoint specialists.
Great product, great company, highly recommend. We have been on the product over a year and continue to be pleased.
Change Orders in the Project Management module are difficult and frustrate users. This problem alone has lead us to start exploring other options for our PMs.
