I recommend getting this software. I have worked with a few other competitors, and B2W definitely is the best I have used.

It is a powerful tool when setting up consistent, precise bids. Every year we get better at using it and the updates always seem to make the product better and more user friendly.

It also helps create historical cost for ease of reference for future projects.

The customization options for B2W is awesome. We have made templates for certain tasks and loved that we could reuse them for other tasks.

Realizing that the problems and flaws in our system were only going to get worse, we began to investigate potential software solutions.

Not enough training is provided with the product and the charges incurred for additional training and setup is painful.

THe product is very good and relevant, it provides the opportunity for software developers, resellers, trainers and users. It creates 4-win situation.

The products are really easy to use, and everyone from sales to support staff are great to work with. I recommend you get to know the people you are going to be working with, they're great.

B2W is great, and has saved us time and allowed us to bid more projects, thus making more money each year.

We are creating a seem less database for any estimator to use. The ease of learning this program from scratch is a lot easier now than when I started 15 years ago.

This program is excellent for bidding unit price projects. We have been very pleased with the produc.

As someone else stated, they just changed the emailing feature and you can no lnger copy other which needs to be fixed.

The software does what was promised it would do and integrates well with accounting programs. Ease of use is also a big factor.

It's ease of use and repeatability that expedites the bidding process.

The system requires annual maintenance fees that are somewhat costly. I am utilizing the system to the maximum amount of users (paid for) and would have pay more if I were to add more users.

Security - we have the ability to allow user different levels of access. Also, integrates well with our accounting system.

I like the abilities it has for importing and exporting. The ease that it allows for importing into P6 is really nice.

The user interface is very user-friendly and when we have needed help, the customer support was easy to contact and was very helpful.

There are some aspects of the program that has limited functionality.

So far our offsite connections have been slow. I think that is more a problem on our end though.

The product is very user friendly, when we have used customer support, for the most part they have been very helpful.

The customer service for this software is second to none. And in comparison to other softwares, this is super friendly.

If you are looking for a solid investment this is hands down the best tool to have.

Reliable Software, provides all requirement for a successful & wining Bid preparation and cost estimation, it helps to get your business bigger.

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.
