Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great time saver!" January 13, 2020 5.0 This is a great software for anyone who wants to shorten the amount of time and money spent on estimating. It produces great print edits for workers and customers. Pros Speeds up the estimating process. They are always expanding and improving the software. Cons Not a lot of extra drawing functions for customization. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Industry specific with a great price point. Review Source MR Michael R. Owner Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I can finally stop looking." May 10, 2019 4.0 After searching for estimating software for almost 5 years, installing trial software, talking with tech support, even hiring a programmer to build our own system, the hunt ended with Esticom. Getting the system up and running was a breeze and my company now has a uniform database to build estimates from. Pros The ability to simply enter lines of product and adjust all elements across the board: unit costs, markup, labor hours and difficulty factors are the stand out elements! Finding software that accomplishes this simple but tedious (if using Excel) task has changed our company's workflow. Cons First and foremost this software is for estimating purposes. It dabbles in the process of automatically creating a quote to send to customers but lacks the customizability to make it your own. (In contrast to the many variables you can manipulate on the estimating side.) For now my team continues to use Word to provide our scopes of work with our personalized touch. Review Source JI Jim I. Ownber Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Esticom review as requested " January 13, 2020 3.0 It has sped up my estimating process Pros Customer service was very good , useage was easy to get onto Cons The estimate submission - breakout of the pst is awkward . I would more flexability with my final price to submit to client .

Sr. Infrastructure Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "EstiCom for Telecom Estimating" May 7, 2019 4.0 EstiCom has been a great add to our business. The catalog feature keeps our quotes consistent, and the efficiencies it brings to the table have allowed us to increase the number of quotes each Estimator can send in a given time frame! Pros This software is affordable and cloud-based, so my team can access it from anywhere they have an internet connection. It's user-friendly, comprehensive and professional. The stock catalogs are also very helpful. Cons While the cloud-based software offers many benefits, it can also be a drawback if you need to be able to access your quotes while you're offline (such as in-flight or in a remote area). You're also at the mercy of the development team when you see functions/formats that could use an update, and when the software is updated (since updates are not optional). Review Source BS Ben S. owner Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brief review of Esticom " May 8, 2019 5.0 I have had nothing but great experiences with the team at Esticom, every call and email have been answered promptly and most of my questions were easy to implement the solution for. Pros Esticom has saved us a tremendous amount of time in our estimating process. With having auto-count and linear average I can get most plans done in minutes instead of hours now. Cons It took a little bit to dial in the percentages and cost for products in our area but now that that is done I only review costs with my vendors when they tell me their is going to be a change. Review Source Reza L. Estimator Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Professional and user friendly takeoff software" July 28, 2020 5.0 I liked it Pros I used it for the HVAC takeoff estimation. I can almost find everything I want in their libraries. Besides, it needs minimum learning and you can start right after you enter the site. It doesn't need installation and all you need is web access. The navigations between plans and scaling are also easy. I have three other colleagues and we start to try it together and all of us are satisfied with the performance of the software in different trades like plumbing, masonry, and concrete Cons The price is a little high and dependency to internet access could be a problem sometimes Review Source BW Brian W. Systems Consultant Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Definitely makes my job easier" May 7, 2019 4.0 Great, 9/10 would recommend. Executive was very responsive and the price is super reasonable. Pros Being able to quickly and fairly accurately count, label, measure and itemize a project without having to print the plans, wait on the plotter or waste the paper. GUI is intuitive, streamlined and quick to use. Cons My only wish is to be able to save a template and apply it after I've started a project. I haven't gotten around to asking if that's an option but so far as I can tell, you have to copy a previous job or template and apply it before you create the project or upload plans. Review Source NN Nicholaus N. Solutions Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Project Help" May 14, 2019 4.0 We were marking up plans with a pen and a highlighter prior to getting esticom so this made that process much easier Pros Esticom has made quoting jobs much easier. The tool loads quickly and if you take the time to setup your assemblies it makes quoting jobs very easy. Cons The scale can be thrown off if the plans were printed via PDF Review Source FT Freddy T. Sr Project Manger / Sales Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "year two" May 14, 2019 5.0 It's better than any other software I've tried or just using a pencil Pros Ease of use and the importing tool for inventory items, and drawings. Cons no option to feed updated pricing from vendor, or having to check pricing after quote has been completed.

Production Business Associate Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Less time to get more done" September 5, 2019 5.0 Overall we really enjoy the cloud integration and plan on working with Esticom. Pros The first thing that pops to my mind that really brought us to Esticom is the cloud support. Super easy to share reports and actions with the team. Cons Creating the templates for our team did cause a bit of confusion. We eventually figured it out after referring to their website. Review Source BH Bryan H. President Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "9.5 out of 10! Esticom is big help." December 19, 2019 5.0 With Esticom, we are definitely cranking out bids faster which is a huge plus. Thanks Esticom...I look forward to seeing what your updates will bring. Pros The take-off process (auto-count) and time saving are definitely the best features of the product but there are several others that make the product worthwhile. 1. Covering additional expenditures like overhead and waste is wonderful. 2. Ability to apply difficulty levels is nice. 3. Ability to export BOM saves time. Cons Here are few items that take away from the software but the techies at Esticom are very responsive so perhaps some of these can be improved on future updates. 1. Within the take-off process, it would be terrific if I could copy and paste take-off items and paste them to other groups. It's nice to be able to duplicate the take-off within the group but sometimes you just need specific items within other and not the whole group duplicated. 2. Not a big deal but it would be good if any quantities applied to take-offs within the 'estimating' phase could show up on the take-off phase to avoid confusion. 3. This has been mentioned by others but, it would be great to be able to customize the export bid PDF. Simple customizations to font and letterhead would be useful. 4. It would be nice to be able to copy the selected area of a legend or symbols and copy them other drawings. I see that there is a legend feature on the right side of the options on the take-off page but it doesn't seem to do anything but show a 'legend' word. 5. It would be great to be able to create a new 'group' within the take-off page without going to the estimating page. I know you can duplicate a take-off group but again, sometimes you don't want all the same items from other take-off items. 6. It would be nice to have the ability to multi-select items that you want to delete or copy. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Mainly, the auto-count feature during the take-off process. Review Source FB Frank B. Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Esticom Value and Innovation" May 10, 2019 5.0 We have worked with several staff members, all our professional. They have taken our ideas and worked hard to accommodate our reporting and functional needs. You will not see that form of out of the box thinking from many other developers. Pros The team and I appreciated the ease of use. It has significant power to perform all the required work of the larger more expensive packages, but still gives you the flexibility to make it a custom fit for you. Cons Only cloud based at this moment. I hope in future releases they will issue a server based stand alone platform for our secure projects. Review Source VP Vadim P. Electrician Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great easy software gets the job done right" January 3, 2020 4.0 I use this for estimating big jobs. It is made very simple to add the basic information and exporting the bid sheets. It has glitches at times. I don't know if its because I use IOS products or it needs to be fixed. I do recommend this to whoever is in need for big projects. I do like the idea that you could change colors when estimating for easy understanding. Pros I like that the software is easy to use. Cons I don't like that it has glitches at times. I did request for some changes. Review Source NP Noel P. Sr Sales Rep Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticomm Saves You Time and Improves Accuracy! " May 7, 2019 4.0 I use it to prepare my larger quotes for the reasons I mentioned. I am happy with the current performance and look forward to continued improvements. Pros It saves me money from not having to print tons of project plans and then storing them. Esticomm saves me time by insuring I get accurate counts and distances the first time! Plus I can work from the office, at the job site or at home, which I prefer not to do, because all my files are on their site. Cons Esticomm does a good job of constantly upgrading the software and making improvements. There are minor improvements I would make to the functionality of the software but they usually end up doing that automatically. Review Source MS Mark S. Principal Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Review" January 13, 2020 4.0 We estimate telecommunications cabling installations. Once products are labored and imported into the program, the estimation process can be quite speedy. Item recognition when producing take-offs using auto-count can be spotty. There is no customization available for adding new overhead type items (ex: PM labor as a separate labor type). Overall, a nice improvement over printing drawings and marking up hard copies for takeoffs. Pros When properly set up, the speed of producing an estimate is greatly improved Cons Materials search functionality - often can't find product Lack of output options in spreadsheet format Review Source TL Tom L. Electrician / Estimator / Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Olson Electric Review" December 20, 2019 4.0 Having just gotten started with the program, I am happy with the experience. Got a great response from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] for adding symbols to the design function database. Very happy to see that the input from users is welcome. Looking forward to really putting this software to use with some larger projects. Pros Design function Ability to easily jump between work stations and use at home Reports that can be issued are very professional looking Cons The database for devices in the design function is limited Limited database for parts that have been pre-entered Alternatives considered [McCormick Electrical Estimating](https://www.capterra.com/p/165314/Electrical-Estimating-Software/) Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Price and fact it is cloud based. Review Source CN Cody N. Owner Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ACJ Electric" January 13, 2020 4.0 Overall time for completing bids has decreased drastically, to where we can complete several bids a day. Pros The ease of use. The software is very intuitive. Cons The break out portion in the estimation part of the software. There is no way to break out a certain task or job out of the bid whole to supply numbers to GCs. Also the markup calculations and profits don't add up to the percentages set in profit section.

Review Source JE John E. Estimator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Estimating Software" January 8, 2020 5.0 Pros This software is easy to use. We have the ability to add items and organize them. We are able to integrate the information entered into this software into our project management software which reduces the need for time consuming processes of moving information between softwares. Cons We would like this software to include the ability to show reports of the information from proposals entered based on date entered etc... We would like to be able to delete default items from the software for trades not related to ours. We are otherwise totally satisfied with this software. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Price, versatility, adaptability. Review Source DP Dawson P. Estimator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product!" May 7, 2019 5.0 It's been absolutely fantastic and I've really had no big issues with it. Pros Its super simple and makes life a whole lot easier to bid these big jobs! Cons I couldn't really find much that's to horrible about the product... Had many products already and some stuff just needed to be added which was super simple! Review Source TD Tom D. Network Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally a Low Voltage Solution" January 2, 2020 4.0 Once we were able to have the interactive demo to answer a few questions of how to do something the process of doing takeoffs became much easier. Pros Auto Search is amazing. You can select exactly what to search for and it actually works. You can turn off and on your takeoffs. After marking up your blueprints you can save the takeoff and print it for use in the field without having to hunt for everything all over again. Cons Can't merge pages of a floor yet to see the big picture. They don't have a takeoff template or a way of reusing what you have created already for new projects. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Printing everything then using highlighters is a pain in the... Review Source IB Ian B. Student Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Review" April 4, 2021 5.0 great overall experience using Esticom and great user interface Pros This software is great for weekly use for when I need to do quality takeoff Cons sometimes when using this software to do bid management it can be confusing Review Source SO Sean O. Sales Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Review" January 8, 2020 4.0 Esticom has saved us a ton of time on how we build quotes for our customers. Pros Ease of use. Feature friendly. Estimating tool is great. Cons Wish there were more options in takeoffs to add numbers for drops. Review Source RG Ronan G. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great takeoff software but not my first choice" June 10, 2020 4.0 My overall experience with Esticom was good but I have found better. I can't go back to using Esticom because I found a software that saves me more time and is cheaper! Pros What I liked the most about Esticom is how easy it is to measure blueprints and download them with legends. It works very well with the mouse, and it is web based so I could access it anywhere. Cons What I liked the least about Esticom is that it is missing important features and they are charging way too much for the platform. Please add templates, stages and Excel options! Review Source AR Anthony R. President Security and Investigations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thank you" May 17, 2019 5.0 My overall experience with Esticom has grown since I first used it and it has increase the amount of proposals/bids I can send out in one day. Pros I like most about the software, that i was catered to my specialties which is fire alarm and security. In addition to making edits on the drawings and downloading a PDF document with the changes. Cons The least favorable thing i feel on the software is not being able to delete all drawings at one time instead of one at a time. Review Source AA Arvin A. Principal Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Review" January 9, 2020 4.0 Average Pros The software is very easy to use and accessible anywhere with internet.
