Pros It is an easy-to-use tool that can manage multiple projects efficiently and can create links to other professionals that are within the same project.

AU Anonymous User environmental scientist Environmental Services ### "Good software - Optional for your business" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 March 2, 2021 It is a good software to keep records organized and neat. Pros I liked how easy it is to access records with this software. In the environmental services industry, you need to have records up to 5 years back so its a good space to put everything for the clients. Cons I use both the company server and Newforma, so sometimes I forget to upload items into the software as it is already on the company server.

Projet Center Revieuw Computer Hardware ### "Good software for project collaboration" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 January 31, 2021 Project Center has helped me a lot in collaboration with my team. Pros Project Center is the basic use as a project management and file transfer tool. Project Center allows you to save e-mails and to create links to different areas managing the same study project. Thus very easy to use especially when it comes to sending files and generating reports. Cons Slow operating system plus the search functions are not deepened. The cost of the licence is a little expensive so it is worth reviewing it in comparison with other software.

Pros This software is very efficient in helping me garther daily information. I love it because of the accuracy that come with its use. It is very flexible in terms of usage. This software helps me send files to my project team , generate reports and other project documents with ease. Cons The difficulty attached to navigating through the software is sometimes a headache. System runs slow and I and my team would have to perform some tasks manually at times.

Senior Engineer Civil Engineering ### "Too Much to Learn" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 June 11, 2020 I'm not solving any problems yet. Pros The "back" button works very well in retracing my steps. Cons Interface is not intuitive. Usually you can "figure out" how to use software. Seems like this would take about a week of training. Too much clicking and hoping. Seems like this software is bloated and tries to do too much and causes cognitive overload for this user. It takes two screens to see the full width of the interface. Maybe it will sort itself out with continued use, but my first experience with this software was horrible.

BF Brian F. Chief Information Officer Civil Engineering ### "Great for project collaboration" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 3, 2020 Pros Newforma is great for keeping track and sharing project documents including contracts, drawings, emails, and photos. The Cloud connector is essential for working remotely. New connectors for Bluebeam, Procore and now Teams make this an essential tool to tie in all the tools used with your clients. Cons Licensing is fairly expensive. Updates are infrequent, though the past couple updates have been better. I think the company might've had a rough patch, and hopefully coming out of it. Alternatives considered [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) [Deltek PIM](https://www.capterra.com/p/182018/Deltek-PIM/) Reasons for choosing ContructEX Newforma was FAR easier to set up and maintain compared to Sharepoint. With Deltek, we'd have to move our data into their database. Newforma just scans the existing data you have on your existing file servers. Nothing is "locked in" to Newforma. It also had excellent integration with outlook for filing emails, or sharing files. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Architectural Designer Architecture & Planning ### "Newforma - Outdated Project Management" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 June 8, 2019 There are plenty other project management programs with more features that are helpful for both designers or constructors. Newforma does well enough as a project management program but offers nothing new that other providers are. Pros Newforma works appropriately as a database and a structure for filing multiple projects and managing their information. Its basic use as a project management program and file transfer tool does work well enough. Cons Newforma looks and feels outdated right off the bat and it can be difficult to find what you're looking for as its buttons and options are not always intuitive. It files information in an outdated way as just a data dumping ground and the search functions are not thorough and sorting interrelated information is not easy.

Cons the user interface is not user friendly and not easy to navigate, and also the product pricing structure.
