Great data-sharing product regardless of your platform!
Project data sharing next to none!
PROSAbility to share data anywhere in the world. The workflows and the ability to automate so many aspects of the sheet creation process is a huge time saver. We use it for Bentley, Microsoft, and Autodesk software without major issues.
CONSUpgrading the software can be a quite daunting task. The ability to integrate some of the more complex pieces of software Autodesk develops could use some attention.

Overall satisfied with ProjectWise. Most of the functionalities are available and some advance level features are also available which makes ProjectWise unique compare to other available solutions in market.
PROSDifference Serviceses and its use cases. Issue resolution service has saved countless man hours and reduced manual efforts by creating automatic CRS generate.
CONSExport is not possible in PW Web connections. Bulk user upload is not possible in PW Administrator/PW Explorer. There are certain limitations in PW Insights which is dimming the charm of reporting.

Decent project database software
I've been a regular PW user for over a decade and recently became an administrator during our SELECTseries to CONNECT upgrade. There were a lot of challenges, and still are, to clean up our datasource and to take advantage of the features in PW. I would describe the software as potentially powerful, but clunky and difficult to learn.
PROSAll the documents in on location, workflow control, inherited properties and attributes, title block integration.
CONSSearch is not intuitive, access control is challenging, lots of effort is needed to train and learn the features of the software, as well as management and knowledge sharing. The software has gotten slower with the CONNECT edition anecdotally, tends to crash at suboptimal times.
Reason for choosing ProjectWise
Our user base is highly MicroStation centric and it appeared to be the logical choice back in 2012 when we moved form W/edge.

SUDOP PRAHA a.s.
In our experience, there is still a need to adapt employees to working in Projectwise. People are bothered by the different way of handling files when copying, renaming , working with images. They compare file handling too much with products like totalcommander and windows explorer. A big problem is the unreliable collaboration with Autodesk products. We are very negative about Projectwise support especially in 2016-2021. We missed detailed tutorials and explanations of new Projectwise features, slow bug fixing especially for new web services. Working in the Projectwise client was trouble-free all the time. It worked reliably
PROSWorking with files. The security of using a single valid copy of a document in a network with geographically distant branches. When implementing Projectwise, a company must modify its existing workflows. When implementing Projectwise, the firm must unify the versions of software used.
CONSWe implemented Projectwise between 2000 and 2002. It took a long time to get the integration with the software products right. First of all Bentley products, then Microsoft Office. The experience from the semi-second implementation in the company's subsidiary made the implementation easier. However, there are still problems with the integration of Autodesk products, especially Revit, Civil 3d and Autocad.
Reason for choosing ProjectWise
Secure document storage, access rights management through workflows, document handling in a multi-branch enterprise network. Since 2000 we have used Projectwise as the perfect dms. Since 2016 we have been using BIM on projects and using Projectwise as a CDE. We consider Projectwise to be the perfect solution for creating CDE. We use it in all our projects to share data and information with all external entities.

A well rounded collaborative tool
I have used ProjectWise at many companies for many projects, and it has always been a powerful and useful collaboration tool. It does require training for the initial learning curve so we do always account for that in our project schedules.
PROSI have used Projectwise for many projects with different teams - sometimes international teams around the world. My experience has always been decently pleasant. Projectwise has an advantage over its new competitor BIM360, because you can collaborate on MANY DIFFERENT FILES TYPES. Word docs, CAD drawings, Microstation drawings, spreadsheets, etc. This is where ProjectWise wins. It has an audit trail and you can customize the environment and document control for each project. You can also adjust permission settings as needed. The speed of working on drawings is efficient, since it makes a local copy and you're only affected by slow network issues when pushing your work to the server.
CONSIt does have a steep initial learning curve e.g. understanding check in vs server update vs open/checkout etc. There should be explanations & definitions built in to the UI because improper use of some of the tools can be catastrophic.
Reason for choosing ProjectWise
Stronger collaborative tools and support for different file types & programs. E.g. Microsoft suite, autodesk, bentley, adobe, bluebeam, tts scheduling, photoshop etc.
