I love that it updates in real time and is fully integrated. It is also scalable thanks to the cloud meaning we will never outgrow the system.

The interface is very out-dated and hard to use (particular on mobile browsers), it requires constant maintenance, patching, and testing. It's expensive to integrate with things.

It’s been a learning curve, but I think overall, we’re happy.

Very difficult to learn & I found the training lacking.

Lack of links to additional information within data points. Pay attention to the variable choices for reports.

Everything is super organized and the files are very easy to find. I like the layout and you can do with it.

I used many software, and I would rather create my own spreadsheets than suffer with this software any longer.

I loved the reconciliation feature. It allows the user to tie the budgets to invoices that are not produced by the system, such as AIA and owner forms.

Many options and functions. Ability to tie in numerous aspects of construction from RFIs to Submtitals, to billings, etc.

And be sure sure to join CMUG, the CMiC users group. They have forums, monthly calls, demos, and are a great help.

Get it!!! Definitely take the time to run through the courses in Next Gear University, and take advantage of the online tech support.

I like what the results can be once all the data is entered.

I use CMiC on all of my projects and what I like most is being able to arrange different projects and have all the respective subcontractors.

Textura is easy to navigate and there are lot of functions that you can build to your preference  for billing and construction management.

We appreciate the personal service we receive from CMIC and are happy with the results and quick ROI we have gotten from simply using this software.

After several years on CMiC software I would say that it is absolutely the best integrated project management and accounting ERP available.

Used in my organization for the continuous administration of projects, allows you to be aware of all the details of the Project thanks to its variety of tool, has a very good technical support.

Overall i enjoy using the software not only for change order needs, but also submittals and RFIs' which makes it nice to send notifications through one system and not have to exchange multiple emails.

Very robust system with strong features and capabilities, if you throw enough money at it.

The main thing I like most about this software is its wide breadth of abilities, and how it handles the finances of the projects.

It's great, specifically it's functionality and from my experience I learned that set-up is key because the ease of use becomes streamlined with your set-up.

Program is easy to use and navigate and is compatible with Textura Payment Processing program.

Excellent tool for the administration of architectural projects, Great technical support in billing. It has very reliable and efficient integrated systems.

PlanSwift is very functional, easy to learn and, best of all, it’s affordable.

Our quality of estimates has improved due to the quality of the take-off.

I will recommend to others, to save time for their Quantity Surveyors.

Used to do quick take offs for estimating and budgeting purposes. Took a bit of time to get used to all of the tools but is very useful now.

Easy to use and understand. The way it allows me to organize my take-off is fantastic.

The other downside for me was that I had to have my computer rebuilt, and the PlanSwift files were stored in a place on my computer that is not routinely copied when an IT tech rebuilds the computer.

Terrible customer service. I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours.

So far I am fair happy with my experience overall.

It's another takeoff software that helps save lots of time which means more bids and more work. We had a good experience with the helpful support team,  so we would recommend trying it out.

Planswift provides intuitive, easy to use features that make completing takeoffs simple, yet effective.

Very good value for money compared to the other packages on the market Integrates with excel and being able to import your own template is great.

Great software for organizing and implementing budget information.

The Auto count tool never worked. As well as the customer  service which was poor.

Great for getting a quick, accurate count for material. Easy to add  pricing into the programs.

Plan swift has helped us plan, budget, and estimate projects successfully.

When looking into takeoff software this is the clear winner. It integrates well with other programs such as BuilderTrend and it is very easy to use.

Easy to use and it is also available for certain customizations as well. It is very accurate in to details  which is good.

I don’t have any comments regarding PlanSwift that I would consider to be negative.

The value on this program is what I'm most impressed with. It has all of the capabilities of many other more expensive estimating software.

Great reporting and customization capabilities.

Intuitive, easy to use, easy to set up, and their customer support team was very helpful.

Overall this is a fantastic product and it would be amazing if it could be upgraded to allow more than one aet of plans to be open.

It will certainly get the job done, but could improve.

Helps to provide more detailed estimates to valued clients and decreases the need for cost increases during the construction process.

A wide array of file formats supported for importing plans from builders and its potential for integrating with other  construction management and collaboration tools.

Easy to use, accurate if you are with your inputs.

Planswift doesn't make it easiest to edit distances. Also I have found it that some automatic settings for measuring distances are confusing.

This never used to be the case (I have used the software for ten or more years). It seems every time they get bought, the problem gets worse.

Ease of use and integration with Sage Estimating. Ability to have multiple takeoff areas and name them accordingly.

Customer support is great. I would recommend this as an option for those looking for takeoff and estimating software.

It is difficult to find files when there are a lot in one folder.
