"Review"

Overall: My overall experience with The Power Tools was marked by their exceptional functionality and reliability. The tools proved to be valuable assets in accomplishing tasks efficiently and effectively. With further improvements in the user interface, The Power Tools has the potential to become an even more user-friendly and powerful resource in various domains.

Pros: One of the aspects I liked most about The Power Tools was its robust and reliable performance. The tools consistently delivered high-quality results and proved to be efficient in completing various tasks. Additionally, the wide range of features offered by The Power Tools allowed for versatility and customization to suit different needs.

Cons: While The Power Tools provided an extensive set of features, one aspect that could be improved upon was its user interface. Navigating through the tools and accessing specific functionalities sometimes required a bit of exploration, and a more intuitive interface could enhance the overall user experience.

"No longer Using"

Overall: It worked well with a static database. We have moved to Building Connected to allow finding subcontractors.

Pros: Easy to use, good reports. The catagories were easy to set up. and modify

Cons: Does not allow for searching out subs and suppliers. Did not have an area for plans. Had to have ftp site for plan transfer

Vendor Response

By Power Tools on September 23, 2020
Hi Daryl, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you weren't pleased with the search functionality in our Bid Solicitation software. Our latest version of the software provides an FTP site for plans. Please know that you own a lifetime license should it not work out with the new software you purchased. Thanks again for the feedback.

"Power Tools JCPM Review"

Overall: What I like most about this experience is the people who created it. They are with you every step of the way. If there are any issues or requests, they respond in minutes. I am the IT guy for a mid size construction and deploying and supporting this software along with the Power Tools team has been a top notch experience. When we first deployed the program, Power Tools did a lot of customizing for us to make the program do what we wanted/needed. Along the way, we ask them to add or tweak certain features to our liking and they are always willing.

Pros: It does everything we need to manage a project in one program.

Cons: The only con for us was how to serve this software to 20 or 30 users out in the field. We solved that with a remote desktop server and the mobile app.

"The Best Construction Software"

Overall: The software covers all phases of the business and all the different department programs communicate together so is helps keep all the business needs organized. It is one big package so you don't have to go from one software program to another.

Pros: Everything! It does everything we need as a company and if not they customize whatever you need. The customer service is AWESOME! We also have several companies and with this program we can use it with all the companies.

Cons: Nothing really. Maybe the fact you can't drill into an item, but we have gotten used to getting around that.

"Power Tools is an OUTSTANDING Business Partner"

Overall: My twelve years of use of Power Tools has been overwhelmingly positive. When my current employer wanted to upgrade their accounting and project management platform, there was no search conducted. We went straight to PT and never looked back.

Pros: Too many good qualities to list really, but its flexibility, its ease of import and export with Excel, and the absolute fantastic customer support!

Cons: I would like to see a better "explosion" of data underlying the GL accounts.

"Amazing Product but even BETTER Customer Service"

Overall: I can always count on their support team to help me with any issues I have. They always go above beyond. I love they can customize their product for our needs, and it isn't one shoe fits all.

Pros: I love how it is full circle. If set up right, it does everything!

Cons: The look seems to me "80s". Maybe having some fun colors would spruce it up LOL

"Must for construction sector"

Overall: This software is holistic and ensures coverage of different business processes and departments within the organization. It helps to stay organized and easy to deploy. No need for a technical engineer, with the basic knowledge you can manage it

Pros: The software can be customized as per needs and also you can go with standard settings. The customer service is reliable and available to help you.

Cons: I think that when the software is new it may take time to get used to it.
