The software upgrade and enhancements are amazing and it is nice to know that Ares take note of what their users suggest or struggle with.

Excellent Support team, Experienced and responsive team that resolves issues promptly.

As you go along, there are minor bugs, though there are work around, it is inconvenient. The report writer capability is not what I expect.

Limited fields for Finance Import. No Actenum (scheduling tool) integration - should be ahead of the curve and be aware that Actenum will be big in Oil & Gas.

The number of group codes allows lots of options. The integration of cost and schedule is nice.

Eliminate project risks by aligning budgeted cost and schedule. Integrate with Oracle® Primavera P6, Microsoft® Project.

Reduced effort in managing the monthly reporting process, reduced duplicate work, reduced effort spent finding mistakes in the multiple systems we used. ROI was realized quickly.

Support was awesome during initial roll out. Needed some custom webforms developed and that process has been very professional and fit for purpose.

Great cost control software with instant budget and schedule integration.

Adaptability to various WBS strings, ease of use, quick to learn/teach.

Inability to incur AI & Automation as a trend in new market.

It’s been a challenge to convert from MPM but not nice you get some experience it gets better.

I expect that it can do report the way a Crystal report writer. The report writer is very limited or basic.

Since arriving in Australia, I am much more involved with Ares PRISM than ever before. The team's engagement and support is fantastic and they go out of their way to provide the best support possible.

ARES PRISM is a great tool for any project controls team who wants to elevate the way Cost and Performance Reports are presented to the client.

Integrating the software with Primavera is also very easy by creating a cross-reference utilizing G2's built in utilities.

Ease of use, PRISM is user-friendly and allow flexible import/export functionality, plus a lot of utilities that caters for bulk updates.

PRISM offers a good set of functionalities to manage cost, progress and change in almost any type of project.

Good interface between Cost Module, engineering module, Schedule, change management.

JOBPOWER is a great option for those wanting a construction software with the simplicity of QuickBooks.

Ease of use, total integration of the accounting data, the reports and of course the support.

My ability to track budgets against costs with custom reports.

The ease of use and the excellent customer care.

The software is very user friendly and easy to understand the functions of the program. The program is great for Construction companies the need to have details accounting.

It is so easy to use and the reports are fantastic.

This company has great customer support and the program is super easy to use. It makes sense from an accounting Standpoint.

JOBPOWER, the most user friendly affordable software for contractors.

I highly recommend JOBPOWER and would be happy to talk to anyone about my experience with the program.

There is nothing I can say that is bad about the software after I got the hang of the program.

Comprehensive reporting ability (can produce a report for almost everything we need). Very affordable compared to other accounting softwares.

I have since switched to a different program, for which a paid a penny or two more, but completely worth it. MUCH easier to navigate, edit and review, etc.

Disappointing and overpriced. NOT FOR THE CIVIL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

You can only add to the detailed version, not the summary cost-code version of invoicing which is a bit of a pain.

Easy to use once you learn it. Michael, Penny and Elisha are great to work with and have helped me greatly.

Multiple access is banned on this software as the crew leader is only allowed to setup AP and AR, which creates hassel at the end.

The software is very easy to learn. Integrated general ledger makes job costing reliable.

What do I like best about JOBPOWER. Ease of use, total integration of the accounting data, the reports and the online support.

The only thing I have negative to say about the program is that once you close a payroll month, you cannot go back and print any reports, including any certified payrolls you might have missed.

It's easy to use, customizable to my business and the support is outstanding. It's great value for the money.

As a growing company set on cost variance analysis, Jobpower has been a life saver. The Customer Support is amazing to a non-bookkeeper.

We used this program for 7 yrs prior to my retirement. I loved the simplicity and ease of navigation of JOB POWER.

Very user friendly to set up for Job Cost and very user friendly to operate. Extremely courteous and knowledgeable Tech Support and the Updates for every new year were available promptly.

Jobpower has helped my Business run so smoothly. The Support with Jobpower is absolutely Wonderful.

I am a single user, and I found it a disadvantage to be unable to work in multiple screens at one time.

Another business in town highly recommended JOBPOWER. We are so happy with everything about this software, support and their staff.

I switched FROM Quickbooks because I needed the AIA, with basic accounting, with payroll. JP offers these with their program, but they missed the concept of rough draft and pencil copy.

The benefits are definitely the customer service for support & technical applications. They are the best software company I've dealt with to date for this.

Everything that the program does is AWESOME. You do not have to have multiply programs to do all the things needed.
