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.

Pain in the backside really. Ended up getting the principle contractors rep to do the uploading and managing.

Defects module was a bit slow to use. Creating new defects need to be streamlined.

It allows easy access in identification of all aspects of Facilities management ,providing a valuable input into meeting requirements for budget forecasting and asset prevention.

I have had a great experience with OmTrak a reps, the service is great and they are always around to help if you have any questions or issues.

Great customer support and end user was happy with the outcome.

Was a good way to manage the administration of the active project for closing documentation.

Probably more powerful if I invested more time in understanding it.

I found OmTrak so easy to use, when inputting information of the project I was working the help was always there.

These are often incomplete and it is frustrating to get responses from contractors when portions of manuals are rejected.

Overall experience is ok. Could have been much better if we had proper training on how to use the system before we were 6months into the job.

We utilise Omtrak for the ease of completion of our end user manuals. It makes the completion and approval seamless.

You had to have an account to take the defect photos rather than multi engineers then uploading to a single account after the site inspection.

OmTrak has given us the opportunity to streamline the O&M Manual delivery and has saved a lot of  follow up queries from building owners after project handover.

No all end users believe the software is Defence complaint.

I liked the old asset base used at LCCH. Much easier to find and edit assets.

Project content is adequate and accessibility is good. Ability for building owners to store and access building and maintenance issues is of high value.

OmTrak has limited search function that's inconvenient to use.

Forward planning of budgets  assisting asset prevention  to ensuring facilities are able to meet research requirements.

We could open Omtrack and get an almost immediate response. I was very pleased with the simplicity.

We had over 45000 defects and probably 100k accompanying photos which slowed the system towards the end of the job.

There customer support is very good, straight onto any emails raised.

This software is very easy to use and the support was great.

Ease of use, very fast customer service (we're constantly reacting to subbies needs in the field and Omtrak are all over this). Flexibility of exporting and ease of information received.

Clunky and hard to navigate. Annoying email notifications meaning nothing.

Allows for all assets to be tracked. Useful for large projects with 1000's of maintainable assets.

The only times the documents are included is when Omtrak burn the hard disks at the very end. Understanding the error reports within Omtrak can be confusing.

Software is also a bit slow when jumping between sections. The USB provided on handover is hard to navigate as the folders are not labeled with a description.

Easy to use, good user interface that is intuitive.

Omtrak was used by our team and the building contractors. It was used for identifying defects and reporting to the builder for rectifications.
