I love the options available to modify your designs and give customers a true idea of their finished project will look like. It is fairly easy to use once you've learned your way around.

It's quite slow and frustrating to use. In addition, when printing from the Rendering Module, I frequently get a blank diagram with only the page outline printed.

All of the help functions are easy to use. The chat feature is fantastic.

Beautiful renderings, easily edited design drawings, it really is top notch for any one in the kitchen & bath industry.

2020 is a very good help , with 2020 we increase are revenue more then 30.

Too many bugs, constantly crashes and plans are lost. Very slow to render and to browse cloud items.

The design and rendering I was able to show helped convince him that he could have a kitchen that was worth the price.

Love the addition of the time tracker to see where I'm spending most of my hours. Love that I can quickly shoot 3D drawings and images for clients to give them a realistic view.

The ease of using multiple catalogs makes the system work much better. Also, whenever calling customer service they are very helpful.

I think that there are catalogs that are still on the hard drive, such as 2020's Room, Appliances, and Plumbing that should be in the cloud catalogs.

And printing out spaces is great for our subs. Overall very functional, we've used the help desk many times.

Having the cabinet lines that we represent easily available make it super useful for quick yet descriptive drawings for customers.

The ability to print of floor plans and elevations with ease is a great feature. It is a very easy program to learn and integrate.

I was basically trained on this program, it gives me everything required to professionally do my job. It is easy to use and the customer support is invaluable and user friendly.

The color and quality of the renderings, the ease of movement and detailing of the plans.

I like the integration of the catalogues and their finishes automatically being imported.

The rendering tool has been greatly improved from previous versions. Accessories are more trend forward and it’s nice having access to appliance manufacturer catalogs.

The only problem is when I don't have access to the internet.

Although there's room for improvement, I am very comfortable using it.

The cost is just ridiculous. Almost $2k per license and I don’t even use all of the features.

Customer support is the worst I have ever dealt with.

The program has a lot of great tools related to architecture to help with noting markups quickly and adding text and callouts. Easy to use and definitely overtakes Acrobat in my workflow.

Material list and breakdowns and customer service was good , it did a lot of what i was looking for but to much for my company.

Has a tendency to crash. Some functions, such as zoom, pan, are clunky.

Bluebeam has saved me tonns of time for editing files/documents and reviewing drawings for construction. I am very happy to have this software on my personal computer as well as work computer.

It is easy to work with drawings and documents. Very user friendly and has very good features that help with drawings and documents management.

The integration into Microsoft Office and the printing driver from ArchiCAD creates clean PDFs quickly and easily.

The ability to capture counts of markups for budgeting, great time saver.

This program is fantastic for Quality control mark ups, etc. I like its licensing type as it is not subscription based.

The fact of having a free trial for me is very good, it allows you to have an overview of the software without the commitment of having to pay for the software.

To make matters MUCH worse they have no escalation policy at all. Read that again;  a SOFTWARE company has zero escalation policy.

Occasionally have trouble with printing to the program, but not frequently enough to stop using it as my PDF maker.

I love bluebeam Revu for its ease of tools for engineering applications. I love the markup tools as well.

Everyone in my offices are experiencing the same problem.

I use it for both personal and professional tasks on a daily basis. They also have great customer support and are always improving their software to keep up with the latest trends and customer needs.

Best integration software especially for landscapers.

Bluebeams integrated markups and toolsets are a designer's dream.

Great set of automation tools to help easily and quickly organize and edit PDF documents. Super easy to markup edits and share with collaborators.

Great software to do team work, has the option of personalize the interface, fast and easy to use.

There are a lot of useful features that allow for flexibility and clarity when marking up documents. The sessions has allowed for collaboration across various companies/teams on numerous projects.

It is unbelievably frustrating. And if your trying to quickly review plan pages before a bid deadline this is TOTALLY the wrong software and you will be quite angry with it.

Bluebeam is a fantastic PDF editor, and their customer support is top-notch.

We then have to digitally stamp each page and being able to change the date and comments in the stamp so quickly is awesome. It integrates well with PROCORE which is an excellent Management Software.

Bluebeam revu sometimes had a tendency to crash unexpectedly, which could prove frustrating at times.

Overall a good experience as it is very useful for doing some quick sketches with plan sets.
