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.

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 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.

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 KL Kris L. Prolog Administrator Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Solid Project Management Platform" November 13, 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 EG Elissa G. Site Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great to see Aconex continue to improve their products. " February 26, 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 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 VR Verified Reviewer Project Engineer - Wind Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clear tracking of documentation and correspondence, great customizations" January 9, 2018 4.0 Aconex was a great tool to keep a clear record of documentation and correspondence between many stakeholders for the duration of my project. It was easily and successfully customized to suit my project's needs. Pros I like that the customization makes it very easy to meet a given project's needs. I also like the very clear correspondence and documentation the Aconex offers during the project execution. Cons I'm not certain if this is a weakness of Aconex or at my company, but getting clear and easily searchable records from Aconex beyond the project timeline (after completion) seems very difficult.

Control Document Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex fully complies with internal needs and also allows the organization to be up-to-date with ISO" March 20, 2018 5.0 The best practices in the documentary field for my daily job. Pros Document management is a key aspect for the efficiency and productivity of organizations and ACONEX has been fundamental for the magnitude of the project in which I currently work. Aconex fully complies with internal needs and also allows the organization to be up-to-date with ISO 30300 and the best practices in the documentary field. Documentary management how "the strategies, tools and methods used to capture, organize, store, preserve and disseminate content and documents related to organizational processes, is much easier to achieve with the vital support generated by having Aconex with this tool . Cons It is difficult for me to trace - match the documents to each other for topics. While there is a chance to download spredsheets, the is quite limit the report, could be better considering something like dashboard or something similar for all the categories of the documents.

Easy to use. Exact details and Good Electronic Documentation Management System. Cons I have 1 suggestion on this software. To improve the design. Innovative design. The more innovative the design the more it capture the attention of the clients or the users. Review Source TJ Tom J. Document Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic file sharing project software - perfect for collaboration" March 11, 2022 4.0 Overall Aconex is a decent collaboration tool, the standardistion of controls is makes for a reliable experience as an end user. Pros Ease of use. Aesthetically pleasing. Easy to share documents. How to on-line videos are EXCELLENT Cons Raising a request for information only via generating a new blank e-mail is a little bit limiting there should be a tab for this. Adding further or advanced search criteria fields to the document register would be a significant improvement. Having to refresh document register sveral times before updates take effect is also a little frustrating. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Aconex is user friendly platform to handle emails & documents" February 28, 2018 4.0 Pros Combination of emails & Document Register I like the multitude of options it provides at a faster speed than most document control software available Cons Less options with searching drawings & documents Keyboard short cuts; if the keyboard short cuts are enabled in this software, it will be benefited by document controllers a lot. Required additional search query options to search documents.

Pros Reliability and Validity. Easy Accessibility of your Documents, Drawings, etc. Cons Improve the Background. Interfacing and the background of the EDMS. Review Source VJ Vladan J. Supervision electrical engineer on sight Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Normal everyday use of programs to read notifications and download necessary files for work." February 23, 2018 5.0 Pros A lot of simple organizations and as such is easy to use. For example: a basic screen in the form of a table with all the necessary data. Cons There is no table listing all design reviews. For instance: the rows would be entered in the codes - the names of all the designs and the column numbers of the revisions. The dates of the revisions would be entered in the fields of their cross-section. Nevertheless, whether the table will be updated automatically (based on the code and the data of the document itself) or the document controller on the project will do so. This would easily and quickly find the required revision of a document that has huge number on large projects. Second: notes when my tasks are approaching should be on INBOX screen in the form of a light signal - a bright-colored button, because the inbox screen is open for most of the time.

January 10, 2018 4.0 I use to manage my documents very well and our client is happy with its performance. helps us to organized our documents before inputting to the system. It changes our way keeping and managing our own files and adopting to non aconex projects. Pros Easy to understand and straight forward. Save search helps users to identify easily their documents. Confidentiality of records makes the management feel happy that they can keep the conversation on a level of management. Cons Accounts per project location need to be consider. and the Global ID interface must be develop. some administrators of aconex forgot to match the numbering as per project vs the auto generation of document number. some of the columns has no option to sort.
