Sr. Document Control Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and great functionality." January 25, 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 Kam L. Project Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Provided easy access to design documentation for review and keeping track of record." January 9, 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.

I’ve never used another program similar to compare Pros It easily works with all my programs I need for work Cons It has a steep learning curve which I found not user friendly to learn Review Source Hans H. Principal Program Controls Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Successfully configured and implemented Aconex on several large programs." January 15, 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 Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Effective Solution for Project Sheduling." September 6, 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 Mounir Matta - CEng -. Structural Design Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Safe storage and access to project documentation from anywhere" February 27, 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 Mohammed A. Senior Electrical Engineer-RAMPED Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software" June 6, 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 Robin L. Director of Planning & Project Implementation Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex allows for consistent project coordination and communication to our contractor" January 9, 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 subramanian R. Sr.Qa/QC Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great experience, safe and easy to access latest documents. " February 27, 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 Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used Aconex for 1.5 years and it was a great experience you Oracle Aconex." May 26, 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 VJ Vishal J. Senior executive Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle aconex review" November 9, 2024 5.0 Pros Aconex’s audit trail and tracking capabilities provide transparency and accountability, which is especially valuable for projects requiring strict compliance and oversight. Cons Its function can be improved and api can too Review Source AC Antonette C. Document Control Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex is a great platform and repository of project documentations." February 7, 2018 4.0 Pros \- Easy to search/find documents especially drawings with the most current versions - The fact that you can see messages from/to other team members is useful when you have large teams especially if a team member leaves the project - Documents and mails cannot be deleted for accuracy of project records - Unlimited project users can be added to use the system once the Organization has registered Cons \- Expensive - Not widely used by Subtrades/Owners so there is more training required. Other systems such as Procore are more widely used and don't require as much training - The fact that messages/notifications can't be grouped as conversations in Outlook makes reading all of the messages very tedious and time consuming - Tracking & closing of RFI's is difficult due to how the status is recorded ie, if the Engineer responds asking for some additional information on an RFI so that they can respond, the system automatically indicated that the RFI has been responded to; it is not possible to generate report in order to know Organizations the RFIs been distributed to using other mail types - Tracking and generating report for received and issued drawings and packages is difficult, it is crucial to be able to have accurate transmittal information that can easily be generated on a daily basis for document management / project records without having the need to maintain a manual log especially for Contractors managing upstream and downstream flow of information (documents from which Organization and to which Organizations the documents have been issued to with complete document and transmittal details) Review Source MJT Michael John T. Document Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex in Document Controller Point ofView" June 29, 2022 5.0 Recommendable to use on a massive project Pros I like Aconex because it gives a wide range of data management procedures that is user friendly and confidential for the project Cons i guess a broader generation of reports i.e. dashboard layout templates Review Source EN Emma N. Document Controller Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Managements Project software " March 6, 2023 5.0 Aconex upholds development and designing undertakings across numerous industry fragments yet is essentially intended for resource proprietors, engineers, modelers, engineers, general workers for hire, government project workers, weighty/interstate development firms and mining, power, and oil and gas organizations. Pros Aconex is an incredible cooperation device for work process, report and correspondence the board Cons Broad field reports with benefits and hindrances to highlights, ease of use, worth, and client care. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) For better electrical document management Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Document Control Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Working with Aconex has made my work to run smoothly without any hindrance" January 14, 2018 4.0 The software benefited me in simplifying my work and making sure that all the data is secured and available and easy to use. Pros The most interesting or I like most in this software is the Search engine. Whatever you are finding in the software is very easy to get by only using a specific word related to the item to be searched. Cons What I least like in Aconex is when you loose internet connection where you become stranded waiting or hold on what your are doing until the connection gets back. But this is common with all internet dependent software's. Review Source NH Nicole H. Document Control Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex is sold as a complete Project Management tool, it is far from that. " March 14, 2018 2.0 Pros This is a Web Based application that can be accessed via any internet connect as well as mobile access. Reports can be set up for individual use or organization use for all users. They are trying to update features in workflows to be closer to Bluebeam. My direct Support contact is very responsive and always willing to help. Cons There are several cons, you do not have the ability to do bulk changes to date field and clear the date completely. Workflows does not allow multiple comments per sheets, it bulks them all together as one comment. The comments need to be tracked/closed individually and when its all bulked together that is not possible. There are certain fields that are listed Print Size why can't this be turned off? Mail does not currently have workflows. Mail is hard to run reports, you need to do it from Inbox and sent to get all necessary information. Workflow Comments is only available to vie in workflow, this should be visible in the document registry. Markup tool is not user friendly. Review Source TS Tonja S. Program Controls Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent collaboration tool" January 12, 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 Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex is very easier to use and also reliable, easy search, making reports and dashboards." February 24, 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 Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "After 7 years of use on many projects, Aconex has been the most efficient collaboration tool to use." January 22, 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 ER Erac R. Senior Document Controller Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience in the document control field for oil and gas spans 12+ years." March 22, 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 aM alma M.

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.

Document Control Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really easy to use, minimum training required and user-friendly. " March 26, 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 MS Michael S. Senior Project Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for managing communication and documentation on highly complex projects" February 25, 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 VR Verified Reviewer Associate Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use Aconex on every major project in the office." January 15, 2018 5.0 this software has allowed us to achieve better project outcomes by minimising the amount of admin required to track and file project correspondence and coordination. Pros The ability to coordinate complex projects across multiple discipline is aided by the use of aconex. The accountability of each of the consultant team is critical in ensuring successful project delivery. Cons The most painful process that Aconex has is its document register and performing bulk supersedes through from pre-tender issues to tender documentation.
