Document Control Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Viewpoint an adaptable Document handling System " January 5, 2024 5.0 Viewpoint is not my first document control system coming from a Mechanical manufacturing back ground I used MRP systems but for construction industry this is a good system Pros Viewpoint is a good system which you can adaptable to your own company needs and with in a project you can add extra adaptions for a Client need. The adaptions are great given that most client have different requires for document control/issue. Cons Viewpoint is good but a bit off putting to new starts until you get them trained and using the system. The system does not have an MRP set-up option and as my company is more of a Hybrid between construction and manufacturing it would be a great option Review Source GS Graeme S.

Applications Specialist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An invaluable tool for managing design documentation in a common data environment" January 11, 2022 5.0 The initial set up needed some serious thought and some big decisions needed to be made about how we were going to use the product to best benefit the business. As time went by our use of the product has matured. We are now in far more control of design documentation than we were prior to investing in this product. Pros The configurability of the product allows any business to design the product to meet the needs of the business rather than trying to fit the business to use the product. Cons The interface is very dated at present but changes are on the way to make it look and feel more up to date Review Source MD MANJUNATHA D.

Workflow should be easy to understand Pros It's a cloud application and no limit for upload and download. Cons easy to share the files with Internal and External parties.

Pros The structured approach to permissions and workflows. Permissions and workflows are both extremely robust in both their design and deployment. Virtual containers also allow us to share information without over complication and ensures we are not compromising the integrity of our information governance. Cons I think there needs to be more functionality with regards to reminders/due dates etc. Auto push through is available however I feel that the ability to set reminders with notifications, with this feature also being visible in a users my inbox area would be a massive help and would also add an extra dimension when reporting. When using virtual containers, recipients also have access to the documents properties which can on occasion not be required due to any workflow attachments (comment sheets) which would be available to them, a selection to hide properties would be a benefit.

They respond quickly and are always able to help (apart from the system issues) and never make you feel silly if you raise a case. Pros Viewpoint is generally easy to use and navigate and has a great many useful functions. I've been an administrator for 7 years and even now I find things here and there that make my job so much easier. I like being able to share current information quickly with users and external parties and I appreciate having the email function so that I can get documents uploaded quickly to the correct place. Cons There are some issues with things going on in the background and are taking some time to rectify but they generally don't impact our customers too much. Review Source AG Andrea G.

February 8, 2022 4.0 Pros The ability to share information on an easy to use platform, with a clear and concise way to upload and download what you need.
