Overall Etakeoff has allowed us to streamline our estimating process and provide more standardization across the estimating department

Pros

A major pro to this software is how user friendly it is. Once installed, you can download plans and being doing basic takeoff in a matter of minutes. The program is easily customizable and standards can be created and shared company wide to standardize the takeoff process. With the Bridge software option, ETakeoff can be linked directly to Sage estimating, making takeoff & estimating integrated and seamless. The user friendliness and ability to integrate/pull up a takeoff on multiple devices allows for quick and easy review of an estimators work. The user friendliness allows individuals to be efficient in no time, even with no prior on-screen takeoff experience.

Cons

One improvement that could be made is the ability to more easily copy a measurement and repeat it. Etakeoff is good at this when copying an entire measurement, but not as user friendly when it comes to copying a portion of a measurement (i.e. one window instead of all windows on an exterior elevation). Setting up the integration with Bridge is a somewhat time consuming process, but well worth it once you have it completed. There are a few features that are different from other on-screen takeoff software that take some time getting used to if you are used to utilizing other on-screen takeoff programs

Pros

The product is super easy to use. Really user friendly. It has really helped me to learn how to perform good takeoffs.

Cons

They might make the dimensioning a little easier to use, but overall a really good experience.

I switched to LandOne as soon as it came out and haven't looked back.

Pros

Once you get the hang of it, I guess it's kind of easy to use?

Cons

Too much going on. I don't need 1,000 different ways to do something when 5 is plenty.

Can't recommend this product, especially considering the cost per license seat.

Pros

The only pro is that it's compatible with Sage Estimating, but other than that, I am not impressed with any features on this software.

Cons

It is not user friendly or intuitive to use. I would recommend Planswift or On-Screen Takeoff, or virtually any other on-screen software. Their support is absolutely terrible.

Overall I don't think this software is better than other solutions out there.

Pros

The software has some nice functionality like it can count similar looking objects for you automatically.

Cons

It is not user friendly or intuitive. Training is involved and the "nice functions" don't always work as advertised.

Not my preffered takeoff software.

Pros

The software has some pretty nifty features to help quickly count/recognize things.

Cons

Often times the nifty features wouldn't work and you'd end up counting things by hand anyway. There's weird rules about which directions you click around things to add/subtract areas. Not very intuitive.

This is a good program for what it does , it has a set of template traces , wich you can use to get measures from existing PDF drawing sets , maybe to fit your company standard you will need to go thru a hard self taught about to to do custom formulas ,

Pros

you can use the template traces to do standard measures and continue the math on paper or you can go deep in formulas and do what you want , with the drawing scale tools this will be like a digital measurement table.

Cons

the part of the formulas is a little complex , so if you are planning to further rely on etakeoff to get all your measurement set maybe that will require that you consider some time for understanding how that works and to get your team trained.

Accurate takeoff quantities with a visual audit trail.

Pros

The power of doing accurate takeoff with a number of alternatives to do everything. The graphic nature to be able to see visually what you have taken off and the ability to dynamically tie each takeoff to line items in your estimate through their bridge product

Cons

There really is no much I do not like about this product. But I would have to say I wish it allowed better sorting capabilities in the measurement list and gave us more power there.

Pros

The mapping technology in eTakeoff Bridge is exactly what my team needed to handle our estimating workflow. The system automatically update any changes other users make which is nice when two people are on the same project

Cons

I have not found anything negative to say about the software to this point. My team has only used it a few months but so far so good
