Pros

I think the most important thing is that it has commands that are already known and compatible with the office package, which simplifies the use

Cons

for me what I do not like is the price is somewhat high with respect to what it offers .. I consider it very basic for its price ..

Response from Vendor

December 4, 2018

While Electrical Bid Manager is easy to learn and you'll quickly start creating competitive bids, there are many advanced features that take a little time to learn. We offer several live training webinars for free to all our customers each month. We also have an extensive help video library built into the software. Once our customers use some of our free training and help resources, win a few jobs, and feel more confident, there is no question about the Value for Money. Thank you for your review! Please offer any additional feedback on how we may improve how you feel about our Customer Support and Value for Money. I am actively working on exceeding customer expectations, adding resources internally, and updating our priorities.

Pros

The program is quite easy to navigate and find your way on it. We liked it very much and felt good to get out money's worth.

Cons

What we like very least of it, I would have to say the Customer Service is very complicated. After the first call you have to wait for a call back from one of the representatives.

Overall this application is ready to compete with other top electrical biding software developers.

Pros

great integration with windows, if you are familiar with Microsoft Windows and the office suite, then it is really easy to navigate the software. You can also utilize windows commands like copy and paste within the application.

Cons

Upgrades and customers request could be developed faster. Customer service is friendly and knowledgeable but you have to wait for a callback, which tends to be 20 to 40 min after the initial call.

Pros

it integrates with a special software for pricing and take off. The uploading processes went smoothly.

I do not like that you need to have codes to unlock the integration between the takeoff software and the estimating software.

Great product for my needs as a contractor averaging in 3mil in sales a year. It has sped up my estimating process by 3x.

Pros

Ease of use with the ability to make your own custom assemblies, training is available regionally and over the phone if needed. Customer support is very efficient. And no monthly hidden fees!!!!

Cons

It isn't cloud based yet. I think it has catered to the residential side on certain functions that I wished I had for the commercial side, that would be helpful.

I would like to thank all the customer support for the help on getting started.

Pros

This software is very handy to have if you are in the market for bidding multiple large jobs. I was able to figure out the program on my own by playing with it.

Cons

If you are not handling multiple large jobs. I feel this is not a necessary program to have based on the cost.

This is a great, no non-sense tool that helps me get my job done and be more efficient. Highly recommended for the experienced estimator that needs to crank out estimates in a short time frame.

UI is a bit outdated for 2017

The basic features of the program are easy to use and will allow any estimator with a little experience to jump right in and begin. The only downside and I have seen this with all these estimating programs are if you want to learn how to utilize the full capabilities of the program you will have to take a training class and they can be pricey. Overall I am happy with my choice and would recommend this to others.
