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.

There's no UNDO button, no way to go back if you made a mistake, or simply wanted to play with your project program. You have to go back and redo everything or load a backup.

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.

The user interface is a lot easier. Uploading files and adding clients/team members is significantly better.

Also, the client portal will be helpful. They have been very helpful in trying to help us get the software integrated into our business.

I like how the software is very easy to use. I have not been on the team long, but have been able to quickly catch up because of how simple and effortless it can be to run a project.

The Most Useful and Efficient Construction Software.

Don't really have any dislikes. My only complaint is that I waited too long to do the integration between my software programs.

What I like most about the UDA software is that it Is exceptionally easy to use.

We heard that the customer service was good, and even at this early implementation stage, we have found it to be exceptional.

Customer service is crap. Features break down all the time and they are no help at getting them fixed.

Notification feature is a best feature of this software. Which informes project team and stakeholders about the update of the project and changes.

I am setting it up to integrate properly with our Quickbooks software through the Socket function, and I really enjoy how the two connect.

Overall, Construction Online still adds value to our Business and is a great tool to maintain our clients informed with photos, drawings & general costings, etc.

If this warning could pop up every time, I wouldn't need to then re-scroll down to the files I just added and delete duplicates.

I really appreciate that effort of developers to make this product PERFECT.

We had fraud on our account so our card was blocked and our account suspended. We called our rep and gave her our new card number and she put us back in business.

This is a great product, very good customer service.

Take time to figure out what you need, where you are struggling, and where your current set up is failing you. Try to put a dollar value on that.

I can put in a invoice for a job, and then my other two coworkers can look at it when they have time. Win was super helpful with me yesterday.

The product support and moreso, the absolute professionalism and kindness of your Product Specialist, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN.

A new look at an existing issue, always good to have fresh ideas and different ways to look at current situations.

Will keep using it and see. If i had to choose something it would be the lack of customizability of the job reporting forms.

I like the integration capabilities with Quickbooks, it's very easy to use. I also really enjoy the estimate templates and cost code set up.

My experience is great due to the product and, in part with the amazing customer service, second to none.

This makes the likelihood of proper use by our guys in the field highly unlikely, which could be worse than if we don't use GamePlan at all.

They're honest and want to build true win win relationships. All my reps have all been fantastic.

The software is easy to use and easy to customize. The total care package is really nice, very impressive,  you won't get disappointed.

They are very easy to customize and make to fit your company needs.
