No incentive was offered Procore Estimating is more inclusive and helpful in making every distribution expenses more elaborate. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Procore Estimating is robust in ensuring all maintenance costs and distribution expenses are well managed. #### Cons Procore Estimating has deployment complexities #### Reasons for switching to Procore Estimating The helpful construction estimation makes every process more effective. --- ### You get "more" than you pay for - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Erin L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Esticom has offered us a great option to push out more quotes. It is very cost effective for us. We did not need one of the big box sells that had ongoing costs, we needed something that would allow us to figure out "what" we needed without being locked into something. Not only did Esticom offer that, but I think it did meet our needs, and at this point in time, I am not interested in looking at any other products. I am very happy with Esticom. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The software is simple. It is a great set-up for a small business. The customer service is very hands on. You get a real person every time and they do a good job of helping explain things. There is not a charge for training. If there is something you are struggling with they seem genuinely concerned on making the software the best it can be for you. #### Cons It would be nice if we could customize some of the costs and if there were a couple more options with the quote set-up when it goes to the customer. It is time consuming for us (we are electrical contractors) to try to find "specific costs" for wire and other things. They have a lot of templates, but a lot of them are based on nationwide pricing. --- ### Esticom Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Gail H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Esticom allows us to do more takeoffs in less time. This is great because many programs out there are not geared to Structured Cabling and this is. It made my job and those of my estimators so much easier. Our time to push out takeoffs have been improved by 87% and counting. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the ease of use and how easy it is to teach team members to use the system. Anyone can get up and running in under 2 hrs at a moderate level from zero experience. They have done an excellent job with making the program user friendly. #### Cons There are features that the program lacks and it does not integrate with Autotask (our CRM). Hopefully it will in the near future. #### Reasons for choosing Procore Estimating It had all the features a Structured Cabling company need to complete takeoffs and ease of use. The program is so simple to use someone who have never done a electronic takeoff can learn in under 2 hrs. --- ### One of the best estimating softwares we have used! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Luis A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This has been a great experience working with esticom, i would definitely recommend it to others. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I like the most about the software is that it remembers the rates and descriptions we use in each of our estimates. This makes it easier to keep our quotes consistant. We also like that we can bring in drawings and measure from there, before we had to either print them to scale and get the square footage or we had to upload them to a seperate software. Also like that there is margin as the percentage. Not mark up. Most other softwares use mark up. #### Cons The only con we have with this software is that you cannot put different percentage margin on the labor side per line item. We can only do that on the material side. #### Reasons for switching to Procore Estimating It was too much money and it was not taken advantage of. We were only using it for estimating. --- ### Good bang for the buck - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jason M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has given us a way to keep everything digital and increase our accuracy on counts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The compiling of counts and bill of material creation. Along with scaling and doing linear runs. #### Cons The lack of being able to input deduct alternates. #### Reasons for choosing Procore Estimating Cost, features, and our initial sales call and following consultation. --- ### Canadian - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jason V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. For now I only use as a material take off with my own list uploaded but only makes the system 40% effective to it's full potential. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Easy to use electrican friendly. Going from take off to plan to estimate is very easy. #### Cons To be able to use the system fully esticom needs to integrate a full Canadian data base with material and time with this change the system would be near perfect. Next step to integrate to a major while saler to get real life pricing. #### Reasons for switching to Procore Estimating Too hard to use and I like the cloud base platform --- ### I use Procore - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mark B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Procore has become a central platform for keeping our construction projects aligned, especially when coordinating between the field, estimators, and office teams. It gives me clear visibility into project progress, documents, and communication without having to chase updates across emails. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The real-time access to project data is a big advantage. Drawings, RFIs, and updates are always current, which helps reduce mistakes and keeps everyone accountable. #### Cons The platform can feel heavy at first. It takes some onboarding time for new team members to fully understand where everything lives. --- ### Good to use, but not fully integrated - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Matthew H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros What I liked most about Procore Estimating is the ease of use and user friendly interface. The learning curve is quite simple. #### Cons What I liked least about Procore Estimating is the lack of integration between project management and accounting. --- ### Good Tool - Some Improvements Needed - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Desmond H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Procore estimating is a great tool for figuring out the potential project cost. While there is a learning curve, it is not as bad as other softwares that I have used. It is nice that it integrates well with the project management platform. #### Cons While the learning curve is not steep, it does take a while to learn as their platform is not as intuitive as I would like. --- ### Would Recommend - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ellen D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease of connecting to many people from one platform #### Cons Can tend to be somewhat complicated at times. --- ### A Better Way to Estimate - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall the experience has been good. We are still in the process of dialing in all our labor costs and work times, but think the system will really shine once we get everything tested and adjusted. It would be nice to be able to estimate using more than one labor rate as well. Many times we will have 3-4 different pay rates for employees on a job and it's not always simple to average. Having those pay rates/labor costs by task might work well in those situations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Esticom is very straightforward and intuitive. For a structured cabling business like ours, it couldn't be easier to place cable runs, supports, and mark our drops. #### Cons There are a few functions missing that would make it easier for us to use. One is the lack of a linear with drop only at the ends of the run. Instead it adds drops at every turn. Second is not being able to add temporary items on the estimating page. We have many items that we use but do not want in our catalog. Having to return to takeoff mode to add them is time consuming, especially if there are a lot of individual items we need for a project. Lastly, I have had one issue where my drawing rotated under my takeoff. When I tried to rotate the drawing back, I was told I could not because it was being used in a takeoff. Since I was not too deep in the process I just started over. Can't imagine how bummed I'd be if this happened after spending hours or more on a takeoff. --- ### Esitcom for the Daily User - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Scott M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Every one that I have dealt with at Esticom has been friendly, professional, and helpful. Customer service has been exemplary. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is easy to use. As features are added, it becomes more and more useful. The fact that your customer and existing catalog data base can be uploaded to give it a tremendous value. #### Cons There are still some issues with the way it rounds and displays some of the cost information, but customer support has been working with me on that. #### Reasons for choosing Procore Estimating It seemed to be directed at the Teledata world, and your existing data base could be uploaded into the program. #### Reasons for switching to Procore Estimating ERP is very old and outdated. --- ### Esticom Experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brody B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Customer service has been great and the software has always worked as expected. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Esticom is very user friendly and easy to use. #### Cons There are not many icons for the fire protection industry I work in. This makes it difficult when creating mocked up drawings for the customer. #### Reasons for choosing Procore Estimating Esticom seamed to be more user friendly. --- ### Makes it so simple - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Saves us a tremendous amount of time doing takeoffs. It also allowed us to finally move towards a built in labor rate for materials. So everything is calculated as we go. So nice! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This was our first go at doing digital takeoffs and man, it really could not of been more simple. The workflow flows in line with our old paper ways of doing things so it was a natural transition. We can also blaze through a takeoff! #### Cons Going digital and learning a new software was scary. But the team and support was there along the way. They never let us down and make sure we were using the software efficiently. --- ### Best low voltage software out there! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. I'm actually suprised that we've found a estimating software that does EVERYTHING that we need it to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's easy to use.

Looking forward to really putting this software to use with some larger projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Design function Ability to easily jump between work stations and use at home Reports that can be issued are very professional looking #### Cons The database for devices in the design function is limited Limited database for parts that have been pre-entered #### Reasons for choosing Procore Estimating Price and fact it is cloud based. --- ### ACJ Electric - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Cody N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
