### "General Manager of Little Rock"

January 13, 2025

5.0

I have been using ArcSite for over 5 years now and have grown to appreciate all that the program has to offer. A small learning curve, as with any product, but once you use it enough, it becomes second nature and makes you look very good to the homeowner.

Pros

Ease of use and the support ArcSite provides once you run into any issues. They are extremely supportive and willing to accommodate your specific needs.

Cons

Requires connectivity to the internet to produce the proposal, but there is no way around that issue. Just some places tend to be harder to connect and upload than it should be.

Cost and lack of support. CAD was great to use but they wanted way too much money for their support.

### "Love ArcSite - demo video "

January 10, 2025

5.0

Overall experience had been great. I use it for almost ever project I work on. I also have a demonstration video of ArcSite on my YouTube channel Dullen Woodworking

Pros

Everything about the app makes sense. At first it can be a little confusing but if you start playing around it’s super easy to get the hang of.

Cons

Once in awhile there’s some weird things like sometimes locking 2 walls together in a corner they won’t flawlessly bond even tho they’re the same thickness and on the same layer.

### "Design specialist review"

January 16, 2025

5.0

It’s made my job very easy and again makes me look super professional for customer

Pros

This is my first time using this type of software. I’m a design specialist and my job entails me drawing full footprint for homes and concrete in order to bid jobs and the software has made it very simple and easy to complete my job while looking very professional for customers.

Cons

My only con would be that there is a lot to learn and know, but that’s gonna be the same with any type of software.

### "Early adopter"

January 23, 2025

5.0

I was an early adopter and went through many phases of ArcSite but I still really like it and contribute to use because CAD is too expensive.

Pros

I like that I can go and use my iPad wherever I am to design.

Cons

They keep changing their interface. You can’t change your email address associated with the account once signed up.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing ArcSite

Cost is within my budget because Cad is all online now and costly.

### "ArcSite Will Not Let You Down"

January 9, 2025

5.0

We have been using ArcSite for years now, and I have the utmost respect for the company, they truly want to help the customer/user be successful. Not to mention our representative at ArcSite makes us a priority and is extremely customer service oriented.

Pros

The application and the web version are both user friendly, but what is better, is they are constantly trying to improve the QOL experience for our company, so that we get the most out of our usage.

Cons

Not a con, but what I hope happens in a future update is to have additional reporting tools, especially on the web version for admins.

### "Overall a good product for those not versed in CAD."

January 10, 2025

4.0

I have been very pleased with the performance of ArcSite and look forward to getting even more proficient with it as time allows.

Pros

It is mostly intuitive. Coming from a non-CAD background, I was able to pick up ArcSite fairly quickly and even though I’m still learning, I am finding the learning curve to be very short and still be able to produce a quality product.

Cons

There are a few features, like importing a design from a colleague or from another source that is less simple and some designing features are a little tougher to negotiate.

Pros

Home layout is easy to draw and add windows and doors. Easy to change and relocate items within the floor plan.

Cons

Hard to size and rotate doors to create the hinging swing. Outswing to in swing. Some of the windows seem to disappear within the wall sections. Very hard to see.

Really enjoy it and recommend to anyone that needs to draw buildings or spaces as part of their job.

Pros

Makes drawing buildings/room spaces quick and easy once you learn how to use it. Some great tools that are readily available Pre-created assets ready to just drop in on plans and make the space come to life

Cons

Having never used such software before it took my while to get used to it. As with most things if you then do not use it for some time you can forget aspects of how it works again.

### "Still a good value, but unresolved bugs have us checking alternatives again"

December 2, 2018

3.0

I have previously reviewed Arcsite on Capterra, but am removing stars based on our recent experience. At this overall performance level and price point, the app is a good, but no longer compelling value.

Pros

This is an excellent app designed primarily for field diagramming. With it, we are able to create building diagrams quickly for our building inspection reports. In-app draining controls are well thought out to quickly layout and then fine tune as needed, with advanced controls. It exports to pdf, dwg, png and other formats and offers cloud backups too. A perfect marriage between this app and an iPad/pencil. We have used it create hundreds of building diagrams over the last two years. The main app engineer is rolling out new features consistently.

Cons

We use iPad pros Wifi+ cellular on AT&T for diagramming and bugs that have continued unresolved for months have caused us to start re-considering alternatives. For example, swiping between apps causes the drawing to window to zoom out to the point where the diagram is only a pixel on the screen. Sometimes the entire app goes to a blank white screen, then reverts to the projects list, forcing us to re-open the active drawing. Snapping to grid is a basic function, but when reviewing drawings closely, lines that were supposed to have snapped to the grid are actually only next to the grid lines and not accurately placed. We have to zoom in quite far to correct. With more complex drawings, containing over 70 elements or so, the app bogs down significantly and crashes, even though we think it should be able to easily handle more complex drawings than we use it for. The monthly fees are significant at the small business level. As of today, $360/year and $720/year for cross-device sync capability. AutoCAD LT, which is close in capability, costs $390/year and includes both desktop and mobile apps for iOS. Although support was responsive before, our support requests have not been answered the last two times we've asked for help. The answer has been that they are unable to duplicate the issue we see. However, on our end, the bugs persist through iOS updates, app updates, and on multiple devices.

### "Arcsite pros and cons"

March 30, 2021

4.0

overall I like this program, the mobility aspect is very needed in my business and it creates a professional look for us to be able to send professional shop drawings to clients, as well as, auto cad compatible drawings for commercial projects and the drawings can be done up in just minutes in some cases

Pros

My favourite thing about this software is that you can use it on your I-pad- a lot of times I am using this software to do up a "shop drawing" right on site or pull up the drawing in the shop so the fact that I can be mobile is very important in my business. The app itself is fairly simple to use for the average person and great to be able to do up a drawing in auto cad so simply.

Cons

I don't like that; if you have a closed shape (square, hexagon, rectangle, etc) and you modify one side- it can change multiple other lines or every line, so you have to be very careful to double check each line after changing one. I also dont like the "angles" portion- it is very difficult to put in a drawing with a rounded ended object- you have to re-draw multiple times to get it right. Also for particular angles- it can be tricky to get 2 identical, opposite angles

Alternatives considered

[DWG FastView Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/186701/DWG-FastView-Plus/)

Reason for choosing ArcSite

I tried out multiple products at the same time and this one was by far my favourite. Some of the other programs were very hard to work and the auto cad version did not open up when sent to our clients (who had proper auto cad computer set up). Most versions were not compatible with I-pad and the archaic way you had to be stuck at a stationary computer didn't work at all for my business so ArcSite was an obvious winner
