Most important for me was the integrated planning and cashflow tool during the estimating phase and later for project control.

Priced and secured contracts from USD 2 M to 500 M.  Ability to build up rates from first principles and has great functions to calculate projects of all sizes and complexities.

Very good Software, Customer service very nice. Also it is very easy to use, once get experienced.

Candy's customer service is phenomenal, they offer great training sessions and constantly improve and innovate to keep the software in line with industry trends.

The difficulty in correcting a mistake. No revert to previous facility button.

Overall it's an excellent program that I would recommend to anyone. It is such a powerful tool for estimating and organizing projects.

Some time reports will get error and PDF view will be corrupted.

It safes time and money, and in business time is money. I love how I can do my programming, subcontracting and pricing all at once.

Its a user friendly software, easy to learn and very reliable.

The courses that you can do with the program is also fantastic and you learn so much.

No delays or loading times, covers a wide range of topics and brings  them together beautifully. More functions than I could ever hope to use.

The inability to integrate with other big-name financial packages is a downer. A one fits all fee structure is frustrating.

Access to help (have built up a good relationship with the reps over the years & have always had excellent service).

My experience with candy has been great so far. I have increased my speed therefore improving time management in pricing tenders.

Ease of Use, a great tool to use in estimating.

I would definitely recommend Candy to any Construction business. You have to keep up with changing times to stay ahead of your competition and Candy is one of the best ways to do so.

But recently I got introduced with Candy and it is really simple to understand and more powerful to work.

What I like most about Candy is the ease of using the product. Once you are set up and start going it makes your work a lot easier.

Very good estimating software rates can be built easily and utilize efficiently,no other software can compete in term of estimating and valuation.

I use it every day not only for tender estimating but also for cash flows and much more. It is a great product, with great support.

Out of all these products I like Candy because it is very easy to handle and less complicated. Price is also lower than the Primavera.

Candy is a very powerful and very user friendly project management software where so many software such as MS Project, Oracle Primavera tries to be the leader.

Functionality of QTO is very bad and inefficient,it is way behind other on screen measurements softwares.

I had my proposal template converted and it looked awful and I had to pay for it. You allow google sheets integration but not google docs so I can work on my normal proposal format.

It’s very easy to use and very friendly for people that aren’t so good with computers.

Ease of use, clean layout, clean user interface, great tutorials available, quick response to questions.

It's cloud hosted, and offers a very slick app to access from mobile devices. The standout to me is comparison to similar products is the ease of estimating job costs.

Amazing!!! I absolutely love having job progress (JP) to manage and grow my business.

The Old timers here understand it as well and that huge. I am very satisfied with the company and highly recommend them.

Workflow functionality / customization is fantastic.

Adding photos messed the app up which made my job frustrating.

The tracking and scheduling of customers is very nice. It has nice reporting options.

Ease of use and functionality are very good for all aspects of managing job.

I've had a wonderful experience with the software and support when needed. JobProgress is doing a wonderful job.

Errors constantly on form creation while using mobile device. Jobs hide when they are transferd  from sales people.

Being able to quickly generate an estimate to a proposal is very helpful in our office. I like the act that the photos are easily accessible.

As I am learning  more about the program the more I am realizing that it is helping the company as a whole. I absolutely love this program and will possible us it until I cant anymore.

This software is awesome full user friendly. Third party integration in this software is awesome.

EVERYTHING to be totally honest with you! it is so user friendly and easy to use and the support is outstanding.

It was easy to initially integrate, but the program capability is a mile wide and an inch deep. You don't have to scratch too far to hit bottom in any area.

I love that it is linked to Quickbooks and sends notices when customers view and accept contracts. Customer service is great.

Beta version is impressive and when we received a demonstration at the IRE, we were really excited with the capabilities.

Customer support is top notch - very quick to respond. Ease of use emailing customers.
