[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/erp/computer-guidance-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/erp/computer-guidance-profile/alternatives/) # eCMS User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 41 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.6/5 - Customer support: 4.7/5 - Value for money: 4.7/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 30 reviews (73%) - 4 stars: 9 reviews (22%) - 3 stars: 2 reviews (5%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - The reports are also pretty straightforward with what information you can pull. - Job Cost is critical for us and reporting is great for our field teams - The cross over/feeding of information from one section, (i.e., Project Collaborator to Job-Cost, etc.) makes it a very efficient system. ## eCMS customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 41 (page 1). ### eCMS Construction ERP Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: FRANK P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros For me the best feature about the software is the Reporting. Every construction ERP that we reviewed did not have a powerful Biz Intelligence reporting writing tool. Most had in-house developed report writing software. If you needed a customized report you would have to request one from the vendor. With both Cognos and Web/Biz Intelligence were not dependent on the vendor to develop the report. We have written 100's of reports in-house successfully. Another great feature is the ability to use the ODBC functionality in ecms. We have created several in-house databases that read the tables inside ecms. This reduces data redundancy and provides data validation. Use of the ODBC functionality allowed us to use IBM Planning & Workspace Analytics (formerly known as TM1) for financial reporting on the web. With the ODBC connection, users can access any of the views created in TM1 with a web browser and do not need any connection to eCMS. IBM Planning & Workspace Analytics (formerly known as TM1) allows users to export, pivot the data, manipulate the data and use "sandboxes" for what-if functionality. It would not be possible without the ODBC connection. #### Cons Would like more work done on the existing programs. For example, many of the screens still need updating. Also, would like done to some existing screens. For example, the Job Cost inquiry screen is wonderful but it is basically the same screen as it was 10 years ago. Add more information to the screen #### Reasons for choosing eCMS The reporting capability, the sales person and the ENR ranking to name a few. #### Reasons for switching to eCMS Biz became much more complex with different companies and divisions along with different owners as well as additional reporting capabilities became necessary. --- ### Success Cycle - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: John C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered eCMS Construction ERP keeps all departments informed and up-to-date on all aspects of construction from my Estimating, Field Operations, Equipment shop, Accounting, Payroll & HR. All of our Job Costing data flows back into the Estimating Department to continue the cycle of successful project bidding. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Cloud based Construction ERP system integrates all of my operations. All modules share the same data eliminating duplicate entries. New Interactive Data Inquiry tools make it easier to access data for all users, where they can create or modify reports and export data to spreadsheets if they wish. New Dashboards allow users to setup interactive Tiles of summarized data that can refreshed and drilled down deeper into the detail. Excellent for Project Managers and Department heads!! #### Cons I would say the software has come a long way and progressively more user friendly over the past 23 years. Computer browser restrictions has limited some functionality over the years but is soon going away in the new anticipated release. #### Reasons for choosing eCMS eCMS had a better fit to the current file structure we where using at the time. The cost code structure in both JC and AR offered more flexibility. #### Reasons for switching to eCMS Y2K end of life cycle --- ### Review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Christina H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Wish it was faster though. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy to navigate. Has many options for reporting and customizing reports and functions. #### Cons The program is extremely slow and frustrating. EspeciallyReports are not running properly. Program is extremely slow and not efficient. Some of the reports do not work properly. Wish there was a way we could view the invoices in Invoice query rather than imaging. around 3:00 #### Reasons for switching to eCMS CMIC offers more functions, reports, analyzing options, etc. --- ### eCMS is Reliable and Accurate - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Liesl P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I've been using eCMS for over 8 years and it works well with our GC company and accounting set up. I like that it's online, so no down time due to a local server not syncing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The user interface is easy to navigate and set up some favorite items for easy accessibility. The reports are also pretty straightforward with what information you can pull. There are a lot of different reports and features, so narrowing this down to just the ones you use most often is a nice touch. #### Cons There are so many menu choices it can be a little overwhelming trying to find the exact report or information you are looking for. Sometimes you have to run a few reports before you find the right one. --- ### CGC delivers results with eCMS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: ERIC S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Having used this ERP for many years now, I can say my personal experience is very positive. CGC's commitment to constant improvement, as well as it's customer's needs, has yielded a product that continues to evolve. CGC administrative staff and support personnel have always been very professional, and quick to respond when the need arises. eCMS is a stable and capable platform that can robustly meet the needs of clients in the Construction Industry. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Each module within eCMS is very seamless and intuitive to use. Menus are organized and laid out logically. 2 of the stronger aspects of the software, that I personally like, are the data import suite and a newer re-imagined Content Management module that has been instrumental in helping achieve our goal of becoming as paperless as possible. #### Cons I have been using eCMS for over a decade now. I will say that back in the day, when it was time to apply a patch, fix-pack, version update, or similar - something else always seem to "break" as a result of those types of loads. However, in the last several years, I believe Computer Guidance has put a heavy emphasis on quality assurance, they these types of incidents rarely happen anymore. --- ### eCMS Accounting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Derrick S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered As we know all ERP's have positives and negatives. However, what makes eCMS standout is their customer service.

It's like a big family. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Being from the accounting side of the business I'm going to highlight an accounting function. Payroll is the most impact-full from my viewpoint. We are a union contractor and eCMS can handle processing of multiple unions along with the weekly/monthly reporting requirements. It definitely makes our job easier. #### Cons At times the product may not be the most intuitive, but the support staff at CGC are able to walk me through the most complex problems and provide me with the best solutions. --- ### Computer Guidance Strong Performance - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Our company reviewed every best in class software package before deciding on eCMS by Computer Guidance Corp. Integration in one product across departments was a very important part of our decision. We went from living in 3 different software platforms in addition to all the excel spreadsheets to just one package doing the same work. Access to data across departments increased alleviating the need for review and reconciliation steps for many processes. After 4 years live on the system i would still go back and make the same decision again. There is always a new product to market that may do something a little better but from an overall value standpoint eCMS has not let us down. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Full integration between operations and change management to accounting/financial reporting. Value compared to competition that required substantial money and customization just to get going. Robust functionality across Operations, Human Resources, Payroll, Accounting right out the box. Custom Form editing logical and easy. Custom report writing through IBM Cognos is valuable and logical way to analyze data across the ERP. Support for critical items is addressed with the appropriate level of urgency. Ownership at JDM has exhibited a commitment to innovation and development as they bring in features from their other AEC vertical products. we have seen features come online in the few years that they have owned the company which addressed our desire for updates and improvements. #### Cons Customization/Support at times can have lengthy lead times when not critical to daily operations. Based on IBM iSeries so IT staff used to a Windows only environment have some training to do. (we have gone to their cloud based SAAS model to alleviate these concerns) --- ### Computer Gudiance CMS / eCMS user for over 20 years - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Becky J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

We are a union contractor and we cannot afford any downtime. eCMS is very reliable and is easily accessible to our remote job sites.

We currently have about 100 different unions setup and without this reporting package it would be a nightmare. eCMS Time Material package is very powerful for us. It saves us a great deal of time producing the level of detail our customers require. #### Cons eCMS works well for us. Things that may not work the way we wanted we have developed work arounds. #### Reasons for choosing eCMS We felt comfortable with their conversion ability.
