Ecom Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A reliable document management platform for large projects." August 6, 2026 5.0 It has been an extremely positive experience is a reliable solution for project collaboration, document control, and managing communication between multiple teams Pros Its a strong platform for managing my project documentations and collaboration, especially for large-scale and engineering projects. The centralized document management system helps teams maintain version control, track changes, and ensure everyone is working with the latest information. Cons I can say a steep learning curve for new users, and the interface may feel complex compared to simpler collaboration tools. Setting up workflows and permissions requires proper planning and training. Review Source R Reviewer Sr. Document Control Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use and great functionality." January 29, 2018 5.0 Aconex helps us work on a global scale with many clients Pros Provides a global platform that allows many user to work together. Easy to add new files to the system. All mail is kept in the Mail module and it can't be erased, so you can't lose any correspondence. Easy to create workflow templates. Easy to run reports on workflows and RFI's. No size limit on the files. It functions like it was advertised and more. Cons Have to use the mail form titles that Aconex has pre-loaded into the system. Sometimes can get confused when working in the backend of the system where you might need to make a change. Review Source R Reviewer Project Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Provided easy access to design documentation for review and keeping track of record." January 10, 2018 5.0 Benefits are many as described earlier. Be able to have a process flow of all projects saving time, reducing cost, be able to identify issues and commenting of design documentation. Pros Be able to retrieve documentation easily and support from Aconex is great. It also offered process flow in project delivery which is clear to project teams. The email like within the software is easy to understand for all users and if that person knows how to send an email he or she knows Aconex. Cons Cannot think of any. However, the cost of the software might be a little pricey. One improvement that I would like to see with the software is a better tagging routine that is able to tagged files and become searchable. Currently searches are still very rudimentary. The BIM viewver tab should also could be improved adding more features to it or better still have a full feature BIM viewer and could reconize RVT as well as Bently 3D files without having to convert to IFCs. Review Source R Reviewer Contracts Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "JV - Aconex Review" October 13, 2023 3.0 It is the main player in Oceania. Procore is not much better anyways. Pros Record keeping of all historical project communications. Cons Platform is dated. Mobile access is bad. Web platform is not responsive and up to modern standards Review Source R Reviewer Principal Program Controls Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Successfully configured and implemented Aconex on several large programs." January 20, 2018 4.0 Pros It is the solid single-point-of-truth for large, complex programs. It integrates information flow (correspondence), documents, packaged deliverables, cost, field inspections and BIM together very well. It span from bid/tender phase all the way through design, construction, test/commissioning and close-out. If implemented properly with industry best practice processes, it can significantly reduce risk on large, complex programs, especially those with multiple contract and technical interfaces. Cons Some of the administration features are somewhat cumbersome on implementations with a large number of users, especially at the organizational administration level. As with any software implementation, training and institutionalization is one of the hardest and most important aspects to be successful. There are a few features (like RFI closeout) that make it a little more difficult to institutionalize such that report data remains in tact. Review Source Arianna T. Project Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The Effective Solution for Project Sheduling." September 12, 2022 5.0 The process reports creation is quick and very useful and the tracking of various projects transactions and expense is very effective. Workflow and task management and also safety management using Oracle Aconex is excellent and productive. Pros Oracle Aconex delivers the best project management experience and incredible resource planning and accurate project budgets and estimates. It allows easy sharing of Engineering and Construction documents and other files across multiple project Engineers. Ability to monitor employees activities, effective time and cost management product and easy to start using. Cons This Oracle management product has all easy features and easy to set but the training to those new to Oracle Aconex can take some time. Review Source R Reviewer Structural Design Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Safe storage and access to project documentation from anywhere" February 28, 2018 5.0 Pros 1- Fast upload and download of documents from anywhere in the world. 2- Peace of mind by ensuring that all project documentation is archived safely. 3- Regular update and development 4- In-house training to users Cons When searching for a subject yields more than one page and I move from one page to another searching for a particular document, I would like to clearly see the current search page highlighted to enable me to go to the next or previous page without losing track. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Electrical Engineer-RAMPED Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good software" June 7, 2018 4.0 Pros easy of finding information for any document or workflow I look for, zip download is easy too to download all files together. Cons \- The relation between documents and workflows is not practical, you should copy the link or text from documents and go to workflows to find information, there should be a way to do that automatically. - If I'm not in the workflow and want to download documents, there is no way except going to the original mail. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Planning & Project Implementation Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Aconex allows for consistent project coordination and communication to our contractor" January 10, 2018 5.0 Pros I really like the fact that the searchability and the document transmission tool that Aconex allows for. The fact that all communication through Aconex forms a permanent project record indefinitely Cons Getting people to transition off of standard email to Aconex for our overall project communication tool. Team members are resistant to change and new tools. Review Source R Reviewer Sr.Qa/QC Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "great experience, safe and easy to access latest documents. " February 28, 2018 4.0 Pros I am using aconex from 2003 from Dubai to now India great experience. easy to find latest drawings and old documents history. and big document evidence for client or contractor where ever to issued documents. Review Source Roop T. Sr. Design Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "I have used Aconex for 1.5 years and it was a great experience you Oracle Aconex." May 27, 2021 4.0 We can use the same account for different project drawings and details, which is very convenient. Pros Very well organized and easy to access data for the larger size of the projects and easy to use. Cons I don't see anything to dislike, but we need to return to the main page to see/search other documents. Review Source R Reviewer Senior executive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My review on oracle" April 9, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been really great I really wanna explore more about it Pros It is really helpful for projects etc and I always find it really soothing to connect with people etc Cons Sometimes it takes a lot of time to connect with people Review Source R Reviewer Prolog Administrator Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Solid Project Management Platform" November 14, 2017 5.0 If you're an EPC company it'd be hard to go wrong with Aconex. We ended up selecting another platform, but it was a fierce competition. In the end, we opted for one with more market-ready integrations with other tools that we currently have in place (to avoid more siloes) and that also had a UI/UX that was more intuitive for creating processes and finding files/records (viz. a modular-tool setup). There were other considerations, but bottom line, Aconex is a solid platform that really offers a wealth of value for standardizing and automating key processes. They'll definitely be around for a while. Pros \- Clean UI/UX experience - Configurable workflows created on front-end by user - Metadata based system allows for rich tagging and organization of files (Document Register) and other types of correspondence (Mail Types) - Views can be saved (and shared) for filtered searches that take place a lot (e.g. RFIs or Pending RFIs) - Mail types offer extreme configurability to formalize/standardize certain types of exchanges between parties that require user input or approval (e.g. Daily Logs, Meeting Minutes, RFIs) - Can pay per user or go with unlimited user option and pay a percentage/fee based on how much company commits to running through Aconex for set period of time; having options are nice though - Reinvest 20% into R&D - Support Central contains outstanding documentation - Great mobile apps with wide-functionality Cons \- Takes some mental training to know which Register to go look in, whether that's the Document or Mail Register. In my experience, this was because currently, our company stores RFIs as documents/files, whereas Aconex treats them as a Mail Type; so looking for an RFI requires searching in the Mail Register (since it's a type of correspondence) not the Document Register (note: Aconex can also handle RFI process as a document, I believe buy sending it around via Workflows, in which case it \*would\* be a file located in the Document Register) - Meta data is the smartest way to organize big data however it \*does\* require a solid tagging system; some companies may not have this (but I'm sure Aconex would assist with this setup) - A few Auzzy-isms are distracting to look over (e.g. Tender vs. Bid) - Has technical potential to integrate with other software/tools through APIs but not many market-ready connections that can be demonstrated - Almost handles entirety of project life-cycle, but a little weak on POs (i.e. not a P2P tool, Procure to Pay) and integrating the Connected Cost tool with other ERPs (note: see previous remark, it \*is\* technically feasible) Review Source R Reviewer Site Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great to see Aconex continue to improve their products. " February 27, 2018 4.0 Pros \* Always get the latest version of drawings \* Can track previous versions of drawings \* Nothing can ever be deleted \* Being able to view all the mail that has been sent and received from your company \* Do not have to save anything on your own hard drive \* Reporting tools are very useful \* Being able to create excel spreadsheets from Document Register \* Can access Aconex from any electronic device which has the internet \* Project Directory list \* Global Directory list \* Mutiple File Upload \* Being able to set up Projects how you want. \* List of projects to be able to access easily - when invited onto \* Organising mail into Types - makes it easier to sort. \* Multiple fields to search for documentation and drawings eg. Subject, Date, From Organisation, Recipients etc. \* Help instructions and videos are excellent. \* Help Desk is excellent Cons \* Issues with teaching consultants and sub-contractors on how to upload documents into the document register- ie. education \* Sometimes time delay in viewing and downloads \* Site going down. \* Generally happy with the product. \* 95% of the time the Aconex Helpdesk are very knowledgeable. However occasionally I have come across someone that is not sure about an answer but all operators have always been very friendly and helpful.

Documentation such as drawings, RFIs, rich 3D models, rendering and reports can be accessed via a real time dashboard and this definitely helps us reduce the time and effort needed for document filing and tracking. Pros Oracle Aconex is the Crème de la crème of construction management softwares and allows its users to share documentation via the online portal for sizeable projects in a seamless manner. It is suitable for transmitting drawings, and capable of documentation management, process and workflow automation and helps the user control several aspects of project correspondence for complex projects. We have been able to manage and maintain a workflow within the software and love the tracking feature that accommodates each transmittal submitted. Cons It needs training first to be able to use all features and functionalities. There is limited email capability but hopefully this will be addressed in future upgrades. It is best suitable for large construction and engineering projects so not really sure if small scale projects would be managed well through Aconex. Review Source Adnan T. Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Regular Aconex user" August 23, 2024 5.0 good, its user friendly and very intuitive. Pros the ability to see all previous revisions of documents in an organized manner Cons there are some minor bugs when switching between projects and looking into workflows and packages Review Source Kevin A. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Its tge best it was easy" July 11, 2023 5.0 My over all experience with oracle has been outstanding and i love it Pros How easy it was to integrate and how it was a good price for what it does Cons I am just a little upset that i didnt find out about it sooner it could have saved us a lot of head ache a long time ago Review Source R Reviewer Program Controls Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent collaboration tool" January 16, 2018 5.0 This software is very powerful for collaboration and workflow. Pros Aconex is easily to get up and running and is also relatively easy to use. The custom mail form functionality combined with the ability to set automatic distribution lists for different mail types has been a very powerful tool for corresponding on contractual items. Cons Aconex is a large company with all users utilizing the same interface. Because of this Aconex is very easy to implement. The down side is that proprietary nomenclature or specific document "Types" may or may not be allowed. In our case, we wanted a general document type for "Meetings" where we use a cascade to further delineate whether the document is a Agenda, Presentation, Handout, Notes etc.. Aconex has a type set up for "Meeting Notes" which we felt was too specific and did not address agendas and other meeting material. Aconex escalated the request to have a Type = Meetings or Meeting Material and our request was denied. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Document Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Aconex is very easier to use and also reliable, easy search, making reports and dashboards." February 26, 2018 5.0 we can mentioned our record better and also numbering system if we have missed any document in file so we can download from the web. Pros Export to excel, Aconex is very Friendly software, I have 1 suggestion on this software. To improve the design. Cons We can open 4, 5 taps at the same time that's a good feature. bulk uploading of drawings processing is great feature. Review Source ML Meredith L. Information Technology Services Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "After 7 years of use on many projects, Aconex has been the most efficient collaboration tool to use." January 23, 2018 4.0 Aconex is a good online collaboration tool that aids in the overall maintenance of the day to day running of a project. Pros The implementation of using metadata to tag documents, makes searching easy. Searching within the document contents is quite helpful. The new online viewer has made online document reviews a lot easier to process and keep track of. The Mail module is an overlooked plus that assists in keeping all of the project communications in one place. The online training videos have improved a lot and are essential in getting projects up and running. Cons The price is high compared to some of the other collaboration solutions and this keeps of from using Aconex more than we do now. Some of the administrative restrictions prevent the organization administrators from being as effective as they need to be (i.e. can't remove users from a project, can't change labels of metadata, can't create and add our own document statuses or document types, dashboard reporting is restrictive and really should offer more). The workflow reporting is limited and doesn't allow much customization. Sometimes our designated Aconex system consultants just quit or disappear and the communication surrounding it all is sometimes non existent. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Document Controller Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "My experience in the document control field for oil and gas spans 12+ years." March 23, 2018 5.0 Pros What I like most about this software is how easy it is to use. I also like the quality standards it offers with recording every change that is made within the system. The dashboard has all the relevant information needed to make your daily tasks easy to manage. I also enjoy having the ability to process documentation en masse with the bulk upload function. The drag and drop feature for uploading multiple files is also appealing. Utilizing this software for our document control functions and repository has been the best experience in all my document management software experience. Cons I would like for org admins to have the capability to add their own projects into the software module. While I understand that to have the ease of use features on this software, it may be required for Aconex to create the projects in the module, it would be nice if org admins had that ability. But it has not been a real hindrance, since the projects were created fairly quickly once the request was made. Review Source R Reviewer Information Management Advisor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Oracle Aconex" November 9, 2022 5.0 Overall experience good. Helped manage engineering drawings and documents, turnover and handover Pros Simple and fit for purpose. Like the way is configured. Cons Does not support concurrent engineering.

Pros Great customer support and training. Knowledgeable staff. Good platform to support project communications. Good document organization. Cons Aconex has many features and templates built in. However, there are limits on the creation of custom forms and reports. Clients must be prepared to be flexible and except modifications of existing templates and not expect exact copies. Examples inclined daily reports, inspection forms, other client specific reports. Review Source R Reviewer Document Control Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Really easy to use, minimum training required and user-friendly. " March 27, 2018 5.0 Reduce document controller, reducing email communication with large files as well. Centralization for all document control management. Pros Aconex is used by all entities involved for our project. This make document control management efficient and productive. The best thing about Aconex is the document register : unlimited size of files, easy access to previous version of a file, link to all transmittal used to exchange the file and, the search is powerful. Easy and fast to update files for all document register that have already received a file. Cons Having to ask for a report of our distribution list, we should have this accessibility. The Insights should be editable by the project Management to represent what we should see. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Project Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A great tool for managing communication and documentation on highly complex projects" February 26, 2018 4.0 Pros \- Allows everyone to be working from the same revision of documents - Captures all communications and documents in one single place - Makes everyone accountable as no information/communications are deleted across the life of the project - Workflow function allows easy tracking of approval and review processes Cons \- Uptake by project team can be difficult to push - Accountability as a result of communications/mails and documents never being deleted leads to a reluctance from some contractors and design team members to use the software even when mandated - Cost management function in the past has not been on the same level as the document and information management platforms Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
