### "ArcSite - The Floor Plan Generator"

September 22, 2020

5.0

It has been industry changing. Our company's ability to utilize the product to construct quick and accurate floor plans seems unmatched. This tool, in my opinion, is the main factor.

Pros

The user interface and functionality is exceptional in depicting an accurate floor plan. The fact that the in field constructed drawing can seamlessly export to CAD is one of the greatest perks.

Cons

I have found that the blocks must be scaled constantly and do not populate at the scale they were drawn in. This limits the functionality some. However, this is a minor inconvenience and ultimately would just be an added luxury given the softwares current capabilities.

### "Quick & Easy to use"

September 22, 2020

5.0

Excellent

Pros

Speed of results and ease to get things drawn accurately.

Cons

No much to say for this 99% perfect, slight issue with moving some blocks when they are very small zooming in / out.

Reason for choosing ArcSite

Ease of use

Switched from

[Autodesk Fusion](https://www.capterra.com/p/178416/Fusion-360/)

The old system kept updating and some useful functions removed.

### "Easy software to work with and great customer service"

May 25, 2018

4.0

It easily gets files to and from the office and field with the mark up made. It stores all our files for easy use.

Pros

It is easy to use. It works well for what we are doing. And customer service is usually pretty fast about getting bugs fixed.

Cons

I wish it wasn't so expensive but I guess it is worth it when the developers work with you on making it a better tool to use.

### "Simple, Must-Have Tool"

September 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

Simplicity. I've used many other programs and coming from a CAD background this is the least "fluffy," with features I do not utilize personally and gimmicky data-driven programs that MS Excel can already do. ArcSite is what I need to share and sell ideas effectively.

Cons

Measuring tool can be tricky, but there are work-arounds.

### "Must have tool for construction industry"

July 31, 2018

5.0

Arcsite made creating on-site diagrams and drawings a breeze, and drastically cut down the time it took to do initial drafting, saving hundreds of hours a year

Pros

ArcStite is extremely easy to learn and use and requires very little skill to operate efficiently. The customer support team is fantastic, and was eager to know about my experience with the tool and what they could do to improve.

Cons

ArcSite is only available as a subscription service and doesn't have the option to purchase the tool outright.

### "Great Program, Versatile for Many Use Cases"

May 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ability to have it in the guys hands in the field where they can make adjustments to drawings in real time. This sames time, money, and errors. We also love the import and export functionality.

Cons

It would be nice to have a more robust portfolio of pre created shapes/objects and the ability to port them.

### "Best basic mobile CAD "

August 6, 2018

4.0

Over all experience has been really good. The customer support has been a huge help and he has added many features that have been beneficial to what my company uses this app for.

Pros

Portability and ease of use, and customer support is fantastic!

Cons

Lack of options: - snap-to - auto fill - repeat of item around a shape - odd shape(oval eclipse etc.) - most of all: changing a line size will sometimes create a glitch that will freeze the app or change so many other measurements because of what its connected to.

August 12, 2018

Hi Mike, Thanks for the insight. We should definitely hold at least an email conversation as some of these (snap to and changing the line size) items are fixed with new-ish updates. I will send over an email today telling you how.

### "Very good program needs "

May 30, 2018

4.0

Makes keeping everything organized easier

Pros

It is very easy to use. I like the photos and that you are able to measure and make marks on them.

Cons

I don't like the uploading and downloading that everything separates into its own page. Needs more objects

### "Great Software from a Flexible Company"

July 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software is very easy to use. You can import PDFs, background images, or start drawing from scratch. I perform a lot of onsite lighting audits and ArcSite has really helped to streamline our audit process and insure that all parties are on the same page regarding the type and quantities of existing lighting. There have been a few features that I felt like the software could use, and the ArcSite team was more than willing to entertain and actually implement into the program.

Cons

I do not use all of the built-in functionality of the software, so I feel like the price is a bit high.

### "eddy hardel point of view on Arcsite"

September 28, 2020

5.0

it's a good product, very simple for take measures on worksite, perfect for begin layout... or transfer to Cad application... there is a lot advantage directly inside it.

Pros

parametric design in the library, functional and easy to use, good looking interface

Cons

telemeter laser are not simply to use with it.. and polygonal lines are not easy to use, there is a problem when you point to longer on the screen, the line change to a curve.... you have to cancelled it for continue..

Switched from

[AutoCAD](https://www.capterra.com/p/265024/AutoCAD/)

as always, autocad doesn't care about user, during my license year, they change the way to draw and taking measures, finally the app was unusable .... I send an email for checking it, the answered me they are changing something on the app and can't say me when I get back with the normal an usable app... unbelievable?? I bought an iPad Pro only for that, and I'm so happy to find your app.

### "Overall great program"

May 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Easy to setup and implement with very little downtime. Easy to upload new files into the cloud and exporting is also easy.

Cons

The pricing for this seems a bit high. Great for our productivity and everything but better bulk pricing for multiple users would be best.

### "it was been a great time saver and helped me to stay more organized."

May 22, 2018

5.0

As said in the earlier comments, it has improved my communication of my team.

Pros

I has removed 90% of my paper/printer use and has increase my ability to communicate with me team, both in accuracy and with color coded information etc.

Cons

everything for the most part is great. there are just a few things that I wish it could add, I have communicated this, and I know that some of these things are limitations of the ipad system.

5.0

Pros

I like how intuitive it is and simple to use and understand. I never got any formal training on how to learn the software since it was so easy to use. Works well with other applications too!

### "User experience of arcsite"

January 28, 2021

5.0

Good experience for changing to paperless and can file all draft drawing in computer for easy review.

Pros

I like most is to take photos as annotation in the drawing so that I can easily relate the photos to the photo location.

Cons

1) Not all photos in arcsite can be found in ipad Photo app. 2) No slide bar for scale up and scale up the drawing. I wear gloves so that I need to remove the glove when I need to change the drawing scale.

### "Simple to use yet has deep feature set"

May 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is very straightforward. We don't use much in the way on the advanced features, just basic line drawings for our paperwork. But it is exactly what we had been looking for.

Cons

The app will randomly sign me out of my account. It enters a demo mode every so often brings up a prompt to show me what the icons do. Neither of these are huge inconveniences but I figured they are worth mentioning.

### "Hobbyist review"

October 5, 2020

4.0

My budget for design software is small and mainly for hobby use so if for instance Fusion 360 was available for iPad I would cancel all other software.

Pros

Ease of doing simple sketches. Ability to do sketching in unique ways.

Cons

Lack of features for more complicated drawings. I like to do designs on my iPad but am getting into 3D more so I have to use other programs.

Reason for choosing ArcSite

Easy of use.

May 22, 2018

5.0

communication with customers has become more efficient because now i can show them a detailed drawing.

Pros

I like that files can be stored online with the cloud. I also like the ability to create custom shapes. The customer support is great as well.

Cons

It is an independent program meaning it does not incorporate any other software such as Excel Sheets. Also it has little automation meaning it can show demension's but it can not total the cumulative dimensions. There is not much integration of Formula calculations.

### "Software is great, easy to use and perfect for onsite drawing of floor plans, etc. "

September 28, 2020

4.0

I have really enjoyed using the software. I have completely replaced my hand drawings and notes with Arcsite and it had been great.

Pros

Easy to use in field. Simple and auto insertion of doors, windows, etc. Easy to change properties.

Cons

I would like to see more blocks, and most of the time the blocks that come with software are not to the right scale. No way to close polylines and hatch does not recognize closed polyline that are draw. I have to alter text size quite often even on similarly sized drawings.

Reason for choosing ArcSite

Arcsite way outperformed any other software that i tried with functions and ease of use.
