Ease of use, ease of customization for different departments. Reliability - very rare for it to not be available.

The document storage functionality works and its easy to find information.

Good software for our industry. East to navigate and post.

I'm frustrated with individual user's inability to truly adopt the product and change how they do things. Old dogs have a hard time learning new tricks.

It's also very helpful to manage workloads with employees.

I truly loved the ease of use and the friendliness of the UI.

E-Builder is a great tool that helps our organization effectively manage our Capital projects system-wide.

We use lots of custom processes and flows to manage workflow and control QA/QC of documents. The interface is also easy to use.

Our company really appreciate this product and understand this product really well.

Strict way to manage documentation, easy to use once you learn the processe. Customer service is there when needed, really helpful.

I like receiving email notifications when I have work in my court. I also like the ease of sending actual costs to an Excel worksheet.

Functionality  and ease of use not only for end-users but especially for the client system admins.

Also, if I ever had any questions, the support team was wonderful, eager to help me quickly.

Overall I think the system is great and everyone should use it. The customer control that I deal with is fabulous and extremely quick and efficient - something you do not run in to often.

A great tool to integrate owner, engineers, contractors in one place. Not the most intuitive or easy to use by users.

This product is robust its efficiency and innovative makes him above all the others, We can easily reconfigure things without customer service, but when you need them they are so reliable.

If you're working on $100k project this might not be the software for you. If you're working on a $100M project I would highly recommend it.

We are hopeful that e-builder can eventually integrate with all our hospitals and financial system, this would help us maximize the value of this product.

E-builders lack of intuitive design and browser limitations can be very frustrating at times.

The ability to setup controls on functions so that organization and consistency can be maintained. The forms section is great.

I think the price is great for the product. They really deliver what they promise.

The application is very easy to use, very user friendly, is web base access. The search button/functionality is fantastic, is very easy to find some project.

I'm impressed with the overall quality of the software and would definitely  recommend it. You get a lot of value for the money and wonder customer support.

E-Builder has great potential, but it could use an upgrade to improve their response time and customer support knowledge and responsiveness.

Its a great company and has the sold weight of Trimble behind it. They need to start investing in a new interface to keep track.

Help menu is very detailed and has information for almost everything you can imagine. Many advanced features that have the ability to vastly improve how projects are managed if used correctly.

Not everyone learns at the same rate and everyone hates change.

The applications are user friendly and the closing per month  is quick and efficient. If you encounter any difficulties the support is outstanding.

Looking forward to discovering more efficiencies we were unaware of previously.

We also use the software for AR, AP, inventory, and check reconciliation. Overall VMS is a good product, and has great customer service.

It is a fully integrated product from purchase orders to dispatch to all things financial. We don't have to go outside the VMS product for supporting software such as an accounting product.

It is great to visit with them every year and to know there is a friend on the other end of the support line when we need it.

Ability to transfer Estimate to Job Cost and Service. The ease of searching  is great.

All software has issues and the client portal allows us to log issues and check the progress. The staff is courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Top marks for customer support. Having an integrated solution for all our business is very efficient.

I like the  easy to use password options. I can secure private information or limit use of programs or reports that are only for use by certain users.

My biggest issue though is how difficult it can be to get some new set up by programming. Anything custom is expensive and takes forever.

Having such a great customer service team when dealing with software changes and updates, even when trying to navigate areas in the program your company has yet utilized they have never let us down.

No or very little training on the software. No idea how to use most of it.

We always come back from the conference with new information and ideas for improving our workflow. Above everything else, we value the Vertical Market Support staff.

The support was, and continues to be great, and I have the highest degree of confidence when I do have to call that issues are taken care of quickly. These guys really deserve an award.

Vast number of reports, very diverse in what you can pull. Ability to save to queue to have a history of all transactions.

The support from VMS is great, they are always very helpful and responsive. The product is easy to use and navigate, and we are very happy.

It has great functionality, and it's user friendly.

I know we will see better tracking between warehouses once everyone gets it under control.

It is a very powerful accounting software. If used properly it can do a lot of amazing things.

The ease of usability, easy to find what i am looking for and track my work flow. The ability to change the sites that we take care of.

The mobile data and dispatching part of the software is worth every penny. Our techs can now do their paperwork on their phone and it has made dispatching so much more efficient.
