### "Viewpoint is a great tool for Construction Companies"

March 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

The availability of reports. To see data input in various ways to help benefit the company. Clearview is an extremely useful tool to search for frequently encountered problems/error messages. I resolve so many issues by referring to Clearview.

Cons

Time waiting on a call back from Customer Support. It generally takes 4-5 days to get a response. Most times it is for a non-critical issue, but would like to be able to move on from the problem more quickly. Especially if not found in Clearview.

### "Viewpoint is as good or as bad as you make it"

July 17, 2018

4.0

Great software for programers

Pros

Viewpoint allows you to customize the user experience as much as you want. Things like custom fields, triggers causing updates to tables and custom look ups allow you to customize it.

Cons

Not a friendly user interface, looks like it was made in Windows 98. The tables between SM and JC on the back end are confusing if working in SQL

The product is extremely versatile, with great capabilities. There is a learning curve to logic that once mastered can make the capabilities endless.

Pros

Has vast capabilities, with large range of functions.

Cons

Unfortunately customer support is not always readily available which can be difficult when your stuck.

### "Great Product but long customer service response times"

October 11, 2016

Many of my users enjoy the functionality of the product and how much data is available to them. Lately, though, support has been slow to respond to assist me with resolving my UX issues.

Pros

Ability to customize the product in multiple ways.

Cons

Customer service, odd errors and slowness within the system.

This is a great product for PM, in particular, budget tracking and management.

Pros

Best budget tracking and management software I have used.

Cons

It's not a good tracking option for submittals and RFI's, the system is not flexible and it takes to much time.

### "I Like It!"

February 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is very easy to use it. They have various option of bussiness cards so it can be hard to choose the right one. :)

Cons

They are a little bit pricy for some items, but in general I don't find any big deficiency. So far so good

### "An ERP company truly caring about what their customers need/want "

May 15, 2014

4.0

Pros

They are honestly concerned with supporting and meeting the needs/wants of the user community. They have a good mix of younger and older experienced talent on their team and are willing to buy vs. build a better solution for their user community.

Cons

There's a lack of inquiry screens on key master data. It's difficult at times to export a single row of data to Excel and not spend a lot of time cleaning up in Excel.

### "Customize is King"

October 12, 2016

4.0

Viewpoint shining achievement is their customizability. Any screen, tab, form, button can be created and your only limitation is your imagination.

Pros

Customizability, SQL Server platform

Cons

Lack of integration, slow support response, need more strategic partners

We have been using vista since 2010 when it was viewpoint. We are still learning. We have not implemented all the modules. We do like it.

### "Very robust software with a bit of a learning curve"

September 11, 2015

3.5

Pros

The reporting offered by this software is second to none, especially if you are willing to take the time and write custom reports. There is a module for nearly every data processing task I have completed and the document tracking and approvals system can be very beneficial if setup with realistic constraints.

Cons

The structure of the software is such that if a company is setup to utilize and enforce all approval settings, there can be delays in processing time sensitive documents. This software does not work well with a "Shoot first, ask questions later" mentality.

I am extremely excited about the software. The transparency displayed by the executive team is a major plus. I believe the support while it currently is a work in progress is headed the right direction.

Pros

See above

Cons

Virtually none

Vista is easily one of my favorites..... it integrates project management, accounting and operations and is intuitive and easy to use. It really has helped me to see 'the big picture' as related to our business.

### "Headaches and frustration"

February 22, 2016

1.0

Pros

I have found nothing I like about this program. A very tiresome process to complete very simply tasks.

Cons

The cumbersome process of doing everything. You have to tell the program to move every step of the way. Example: Use the tab button ( I know, very illogical) to tell it your done in-putting invoice information. Next you have to tell it you want a new invoice entry screen. Next you have to enter past a view preference selection option. Now you finally get to put in data. You literally need to wipe its butt every step of the way.

### "Good CM software"

January 30, 2019

4.0

Pros

Great that it has integration with Jobpac unlike other big platforms that still don't have the financials build in to make for smooth reporting and that is key for a PM team.

Cons

The costs can increase with all the add ons, but you get a good product at the end of the day with a full package. Would like to see add ons like trello have an intregration.
