Document Cotroller Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "On Point Viewpoint" October 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Uploading and creating links. these are the best out of all Cons none, because I am happy with everything Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good platform but needs critical tweaking" January 10, 2024 3.0 Good but uploading process needs to be much more easier to avoid non-productivity. Pros Secure process for uploading and storing files. Interface easy to use. Accepted as a form of file sharing by many businesses and individuals good track record. Cons Process of uploading files seriously needs rethinking. Adopt a similar approach to Dropbox.

Information Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "VFP used by Airey Miller" January 11, 2022 4.0 I'm an admin level user of other CDEs: BIM 360 and Dalux, and have exposure to Asite. I really like VFP despite its few shortcomings and not-so-attractive user interface. I think this system can be intimidating at first, but personally the more I use it the more I appreciate it. Pros Primary and secondary file format, 3D Model Viewer, COBie generator, naming convention deployment (and that it can be enforced). We use public links a lot as well and it is very useful as well as the virtual containers. Customer service is excellent. They respond quickly and are usually very knowledgeable. Cons The look and feel of the software is a bit outdated. I like that it's highly customisable (settings), but that's a downfall as well, it can get complicated to control access and security settings. It would be great if VFP would allow using projects and templates. Instead every time we create a new project, we have to re-build the folder structure and the main settings. User guides could be updated.

Our internal users were complaining about the VFP learning curve and how it was old fashioned looking. We also wanted to do market research to see if there was anything better/more financially viable out there. Review Source CT Charlotte T. Assistant Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Glad we switched to Viewpoint" January 10, 2024 5.0 I think if Viewpoint is set up and managed well it is an excellent tool to support project control. I am glad that we made the decision to swap to Viewpoint. Pros Quick uploading, sharing and downloading of drawings. Good control over which users can access what drawings. Multiple workflows possible to manage flow of information. Generally gives great control over documents. Cons Would like the workflows to be more adaptable, for example, if you wanted one additional person to review a drawing as a one-off, there is no way to accommodate this within the workflows, they are quite rigid. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) We switched from an EDMS called DOCHOSTING (not available on drop-down menu). Previous software was too simplistic to meet the needs of a large construction project - e.g. no workflows. Review Source AG Andrea G. Document controller Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great review for Viewpoint for project!" January 5, 2024 5.0 Really satisfied with this software and how easy it is to use it. Pros If you are known with software's, the fact that you wont have any problems overcoming this one in a week or two. Cons Sometimes it crashes and if you have to create a large amount of folders it takes a lot of time to create them even with the Viewpoint for Desktop. Review Source SF Sandy F. Systems Engineer Railroad Manufacture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "good system, but lacks a lot of features" January 27, 2022 3.0 overall its been a real struggle to convince users to use the system Pros available from anywhere, usually reasonably quick, support staff are fast at responding, even if the answer is not always what i would expect Cons workflows are clunky at best, non dynamic, live revise is slow, buggy and unreliable, unable to digitally sign documents within adobe, we use a roundabout way to markup docs with signature, but it is not very user friendly Reason for choosing Viewpoint For Projects sorry i wasnt involved in the selection of this software, just the set up Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) we used an in-house sharepoint solution that did not work well with external customers and clients, VFP gets round that but brings in a lot more problems Review Source TO Thomas O. Section Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good all round product" February 7, 2022 5.0 i left a project and was asked to do some document control on it 2 years later because the systems are easy to follow i was able t find, revise and upload again with ease Pros ive been using Viewpoint since 2015 and this is the 3rd civils project in a row ive been using it. I feel for document control Cons if 1no file fails to load in a revision, it can sometimes mess up the revision and need to all be resubmitted i also find that the search feature can be difficult to navigate large file structures Review Source gM gavin M. Project director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "construction works" January 5, 2024 4.0 it is very good but i have used it for over 10 years and am a super user for my company Pros works with multiple companies and fulfils our needs very well Cons compatibility with Fieldview could be better and the use of messaging could be better Review Source DF Dante F. Sr. Document Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Satisfied Customer" January 5, 2024 5.0 I am a very satisfied user. I have been using Viewpoint for a long time - since it was called 4Projects and it has helped make my job so much easier. Pros The quality that I like most about Viewpoint is the ease of use. The design is very intuitive and the layout is simple and uncomplicated. I also like the regular upgrades. Cons That it is not as widely used in our region as Aconex, for example.

Senior Architectural Technologist Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Second party user" January 10, 2024 4.0 Pros It is nice having all the project information in one place and fairly easily accessible from any location Cons It is initially difficult to use VfP, some items could be displayed better to make the interface more user friendly as well as quicker to identify categories at a glance. Review Source MC Matthew C. Design Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Matthew Carter" January 5, 2024 5.0 overall Viewpoint for projects is good, it just takes a little time to get used to Pros once you have been trained it is relatively easy to use Cons there are some strange ways of naming things that are just not the same as in construction, and can be confusing at times, the system can also be slow at times Reason for choosing Viewpoint For Projects we already had it and it seemed easier in the long run to get the product working and not change Switched from [Asite](https://www.capterra.com/p/132369/Adoddle/) I moved businesses, and the new business had Viewpoint for projects, but were not implementing it properly Review Source SH Sam H. Head of QHSE Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick and Easy Document Approval " January 27, 2022 4.0 The system allows us to record that documents have been checked and reviewed with a few quick clicks, saving time and administration and making it easier to comply with our internal procedures, as well as efficiently issuing deliverables to our clients Pros The workflow editor makes it easy to design a workflow that suits our business and specific projects. Cons Despite being quick and easy to run reports, sometimes all the fields aren't available to be shown in the report e.g. the "Short Code (Revision):" field can not be added to reports despite requesting this through V4P Support Review Source CH Christopher H. Director Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Viewpoint Review" January 5, 2024 2.0 Across our business and all suppliers we enforce to use it there is a general disengagement in using the system because of it's cumbersome structure and lack of intuition as found on other DMS systems Pros Central source of information, file sharing & collation of information Cons User interface and control is cumbersome and lacks intuition, greater influence should be taken from Viewpoint Teams on to VfP in this regard Review Source NP Naveen P. Principal Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not Compatability with other packages " January 5, 2024 3.0 Pros Its a good storage facility and reasonably easy to use Cons Viewpoint is very locked down and if you have any issues and the administrator is not around.... you have an issue... in addition to this if you use Viewpoint with other systems, they will not be compatible. Prime example is Conquest will not talk to Viewpoint and and you cannot access the documents directly... you need to download onto a static area which makes Viewpoint useless. Review Source JS Juliana S. Designer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Required for all projects " January 5, 2024 5.0 Pros BIM - Model is now available to view and comment. Mark-ups is a great tool. Cons Viewpoint for Project offers several workflow options, but we think this would provide a report on the comments to speed up our work. This tool is not yet available.

Cons Dashboards are not configurable to the needs and requirements of each project. Working days and calendar days are not differentiated ( this is important to set workflows for team members). Review Source JF Joseph F. Contracts Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Joseph Farrelly " January 5, 2024 4.0 Overall I find it useful. easy to find documents when needed, ability to store good information on the platform and useful if I want to document information shared. Pros I find the system easy to use and straight forward. Has good features that are useful to me. Cons I think the App for the software is not great.
