### "PC compatible "

January 11, 2024

3.0

I think Field View Relies to heavily on battery and Internet. Field View desperately needs full functionality on PC.

Pros

Less paperwork. Easily accessible for all parties

Cons

Field view, full functionality can only be using in tablet form. Not all documentation in construction across all parties use field view meaning alot of information required for our field view documents is on the PC making the process long winded and tedious as the tablet needs to be connected to the PC allow for transfers. If field view had full functionality on PC it would make the hole experience a lot smoother. Also having the ability to print a blank document from Field View would be beneficial. Over the year we've had a couple of experience where the tablet has run out of juice during a safe start. And a couple of times where the Internet in the area is not good or has gone down, this will not allow Field View to open as the tablet requires a sync before opening. Again not good during a safe start or during a QA check with the client.

### "Slaters Electricals Review"

May 16, 2024

4.0

field view meets our requirements of having a software to capture data and produce good quality reports.

Pros

The reports. They're clear, concise and exactly what we need to deliver to clients.

Cons

Still need to use old field view for a lot of functions, but it can be painfully slow.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Field View

It met our needs of capturing data and producing reports. Other products could not produce many form types required. Field view form types are flexible.

### "Quality and Health and Safety records at the touch of a finger while out of the office"

January 11, 2022

5.0

As a tool is has the features we need to manage the critical quality and safety information to deliver a project.

Pros

The ability to work with the application in blind spots offline and sync when a connection is available suing any of the mobile devices we have at our disposal.

Cons

Getting Subcontractors to buy into using it.

### "Functional but needs improvement "

January 5, 2024

4.0

Our company implemented field view for Punchlist and Quality Management first. From there it was expanded to forms like time and material sheets for subcontractors. We also used it as a notification / request system to the project owner in some instances. We took several forms required by the owner and digitized them in FieldView to create more automated processes. Overall we have found that the system has some of the features we need but simply not enough ability to be customized completely.

Pros

Punchlists, forms with workflows, integrated photos

Cons

Customization of tasks and forms were limited and challenging to figure out. Notification settings can’t be modified -I.e sends at 2am only 1x

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Field View

We chose Field View because it was software we were already using (ViewPoint) and we were looking for process improvements.

February 14, 2024

3.0

Overall our experience with fieldview has been positive.

Pros

We like the ease of use of the forms on the fieldview app, and how customisable inspection report outputs are.

Cons

It can be quite clunky and slow to set up projects from an admin perspective.

February 16, 2024

5.0

Pros

We have used Fieldview for over 5 years in the industry, noticing more and more taking on this software. It is easy to use alongside other users, sharing fields and forms. It's user friendly for workers out on the field.

Cons

not able to remove users that appear on the distribution list when allocated to the project at any capacity, creating a long list to go through each time.

It works for us as a business

Helpdesk is very helpful Training is very informative

### "I think the field view of viewpoint makes it easier to do my job"

February 26, 2026

5.0

It removes the possibility of workers being inaccurate due to using outdated drawings. No longer are we plagued with slow VPN speeds while trying to load our models into our system, that was a complete nightmare.

Pros

Having all my plans and specifications on hand is convenient, whether I’m at the office or in the field, because it allows me to access them instantly anywhere I go without carrying all the paper. Unfortunately the bus has been delayed and I’m famished, so this will be very short. It’s also a good thing that the office and the field now both see the same information in a way that is pleasing and good.

Cons

The Tool seems like it was made by engineers, but not for those of us who actually do the work. The Field Tool takes too long to navigate and I do not like that there isn’t a method to delete a finished old project from your project list permanently. Why should I have to click three small dots to open the Timeline? That is a huge time waster.

### "Keeping Your Site Organized While Making Sure the Details Don’t Slip Through The Cracks"

December 2, 2025

5.0

It reduces the time I waste looking for information, since everything that I log in the field is instantly available to the rest of my team. All in all it keeps my docs clean, speeds up my workflow and makes my life a lot easier.

Pros

What I love most about Field View is how it allows me to have everything from site information, inspections and notes at my fingertips rather than sifting through emails or paper files. I use it all the time on my tablet as I walk around the job site, snapping photos, logging issues and checking tasks off as they’re complete.

Cons

The syncing can be quite slow if the connection isn't great and it can be frustrating and the pictures don’t always upload quickly and a slow load time can interrupt my flow when I am working to document things swiftly.

### "Good system build for the propose "

March 3, 2025

5.0

My experience with FV been great most of the time, however, the system sometimes take time to reload and that make people wonder and sometimes unhappy

Pros

the system is user friendly, the browser version is straight forwarded and easy to find what you are looking for.

Cons

Take long in reload, you can not recover deselected question inside the forms, you cannot delete users from the business unit only de-activate them. The tablet version is not straight forwarded to find the location and processes,

### "Keeps most of the drawings loaded"

December 17, 2025

4.0

Prevents the PM from calling me to ask about the daily log every 5 minutes. Allows us to sign contracts remotely, without returning to the office. The archive keeps track of the project history so that if we are sued, we will know what occurred. Bridges the gap between our remote field location and the rest of the company.

Pros

I am writing this on my mobile device using one hand as I wait for the concrete truck to arrive and will be brief. I was surprised by how long the offline version would allow me to keep running after losing internet service in the elevator shaft (usually software crashes at once). The fact that it allows me to view the drawings and specifications prevents me from looking like an idiot in front of the subcontractors. When I call them (rarely), they answer the phone.

Cons

Sync speed is slow. There are times where it just continues to spin, spinning, spinning, when I try to load a large drawing file and I do not have time for that.

### "I am able to run this application most of the time on the tablet"

February 2, 2026

4.0

This allows us to have written justification for making a change of schedule and it covers my ass if things go sour. And all I have to do now is take photos or scan any handwritten field notes and as you can see, everything we need to know is right there on the glass.

Pros

This works well as a means to see what the other trades are working on from the tablet. Maybe the tags are fast enough to create so I am not spending the whole day staring at the screen. Today I showed a man how to use it within about 2 minutes.

Cons

When using a laptop track pad instead of a real mouse the lag is absolutely crushing. I have no idea how to print out a Gantt Chart with the actual tickets on it so why even try to print it. When printed out, it looks very poor on paper. I also cannot get the predecessor arrows to always point to the bottom of the ticket and at times it will appear like a mess of spider webs.

### "Viewpoint Field View Review"

January 5, 2024

4.0

Overall our experiences were good. We were able to get more users involved in filling out and correcting issues and even doing forms on a regular basis.

Pros

Once you got past the setup the ease of use was simple. We had tons of buy in from subs and foremen on all jobs to use this product.

Cons

The admin side and getting users into the system was a major pain for deployment.

Alternatives considered

[Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Oracle Primavera Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/145503/Oracle-Primavera/)

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Field View

Cost wise it was the best out of the options, it was middle road compared to functionality, losing out to Procore due to the fact that Field View was packaged with Team because you weren't able to do all project management items inside one application.

### "It works as intended"

January 5, 2024

4.0

Field View is one of those products that are hard to setup, and very solid there after. We've had minimal issues have the system was setup to our liking. Most issues were either user error and rare ones that were not we delt with quickly by support. The menu structure is something that could use some work.

Pros

The main reason we use Field View is that we intent to have it connected to our other Viewpoint products for easy syncing. Everything works as it's intended. Once everything has been setup, issues are rare and most can be resolved by tweaking form that were made by Operations.

Cons

The 2 biggest cons of this product are cost and it's not easy to setup.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Field View

The intent of intergration with other Viewpoint products.

Switched from

[FTQ360](https://www.capterra.com/p/105235/FTQ360/)

It required a full time person to manage FTQ360, when that person left it took too much effort to have someone trained to take it over and the whole process fell apart by the time everything was figured out.

### "Very Disappointed with very expensive product"

February 10, 2022

2.0

Initially we thought this platform would be perfect for us, as our partners had been using it sucessfully- there was no trial period granted but we signed up for 3 years Unlimited user. Although it has helped with our 40 or so H&S forms and Checksheets, these could have been done with another Form designer that costs 100th of the monthly cost, with mobile and tablet support feeding into Sharepoint lists etc. It's very hard to justify staying with this system when there are much better competitor products such as SnagR.

Pros

The snagging feature is the only feature worth mentioning - however the ardous calibration process to define areas before this can be used is crazy. Other competitor products do not require this long drawn out very time consuming process. Forms are very basic and do not give functionality of other forms designers eg you cannot add an image!

Cons

Poor training, very poor drawn out support, very expensive system which underdelivers in pretty much all areas. Although functional to a degree, the interface is outdated, partially converted, developments and requests are sooo slow to action by Viewpoint including the progress report which stopped working for MONTHS! - Inconsistent butons eg Delet in one screen deletes whilst in another it merely de-selects but doesnt delete. Although fedback at the start its still the same 2 years later. If we leave the system in October we would have to download the data or pay for a viewing license- It's terrible.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Field View

As subcontractors to other partners using the product we were already using it - however we didn't then know that as main users the horrendous amount of admin and setup Calibrations etc that was needed by us to make it all work. Other products do not have to use calibrations. To set up Fieldview forms toook one of my IT staff literally months. To calibrate projects takes days - we;ve had to employ an extra person to do this task.

### "Fieldview Review"

January 5, 2024

3.0

Very difficult to set-up, create forms etc, Assistance was sought few years ago and was offered at price to expensive to company. It now looks like company is moving to Synchro but it my not be too late to reign in if creation of forms for 'Quality Checks' could be mobilised.

Pros

Emails data, outputs and reports to Viewpoint - reducing admin around records

Cons

Horrific Set-up time and difficulty levels.

Pros

Really useful tool to help comply with all the requirements of clients and specifications. Once set up, it will help with all the snagging and tasks

Cons

You have to use Fieldview classic to edit or make some changes to the forms which isn't set out the best way and can be confusing.
