Game Changer
We enjoy many features ProEst has to offer. There are many different ways you could use the software, from a pure budgeting stand point, to keeping historical data, to only writing formal proposals. ProEst gives you the freedom to customize how you want to use it.
Pros
ProEst gives you the ability to quickly turnover a budget or estimate by integrating take offs with your historical data and translating it into a report that can be emailed directly to the owner. All while your accounting is kept up to date if a budget or estimate is accepted. The ability to do takeoffs that build your estimate simultaneously has saved countless hours or extra work.
Cons
The software is cloud based, if internet is down or a glitch on their end occurs it could be frustrating. This is very rare however, and shouldn't direct your decision.
Reasons for Choosing ProEst Estimating
ProEst focuses on the estimating and data portion of PreConstruction. Although bid management and solicitations are just as important, we wanted to use two separate programs that really excelled at their respective focuses. Other programs bite off more than they can chew - Two 9/10 Programs are better than one 7/10 program.

Overall experience - I would rate the product 8 of of 10 for user capabilities. The scheduling program lacks tremendously; the estimating and couple other modules are completely unused, otherwise very capable program for managing vendors and clients. One of the better systems I have used (JE Edwards, Sage, Premivera, ect)
Pros
Vendor management, budgets, change events, change management, cost integration, document management, submittal processes, RFI processes
Cons
1, excessive separate modules rather than single page options as was 2017 version 2, lacks home page full client contact, lists only project info not people or their contact info 3, excessive message 404 errors and too much downtime on system 4, terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it
Reasons for Choosing ProEst Estimating
Modules were more capable then other programs plus came with virtual training
