Pros:

Its robust and structured , like the error checking feature. Love the 24hr help. The code set sets, cash flow scenarios and code flow is critical for the estimating that I do as Its required for commercial / financial reporting. With out this, wouldn't be using expert estimator. These features could be integrated a bit better

Cons:

The online help would be so much better if you had permanent access to those modules that come with the course. Been given a 100days is a bit mean. Difficult to review with others who are not users. Fix the error in the code flow. sometimes when running the report, it doesn't report total costs. The work around is save a new copy and reopen. Its quite dangerous if you are not aware of this happening Some the of the icons used and mouse over descriptions aren't that intuitive Code set sets, cash flow scenarios and code flow could be integrated a bit better as they are used together to produce the forecast There is an issue with the sort feature in the cost allocations when trying to find unallocated codes With some smarts you could combine the group resources with the matrix function . For example you could build up a group resource and apply the attributes within the group resource rather than nominating a cost template to the matrix. The global defines is clunky and is difficult when need to import global dines as an array

Vendor Response

Great Power Tool for Estimators

Overall, Expert Estimation has become the backbone of how I build tenders and support delivery teams. Proficiency in this software also comes up as a requirement in a lot of job posts for estimating roles so I can't imagine I'll be back to using just spreadsheets again.

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about Expert Estimation is its ability to bring structure and first-principles logic to cost estimating. Once you’ve built your template and code sets properly, you can break down costs at a granular level and roll them up cleanly for reporting — all while maintaining traceability. The flexibility around resource libraries, cost codes, and estimate linking allows for true scalability across tenders. It’s an ideal platform. Way better than just using Excel - by orders of magnitude

Cons:

The UI can feel a bit clunky at first, and the learning curve is real if you want to fully leverage the system. That said, once you’ve put in the hours to understand how everything connects, it becomes a serious competitive advantage. I’d like to see deeper integrations with MS Power BI and MS Project in future updates. An upgrade for it to become fully cloud-native would be awesome as well.

Vendor Response

Hi Jason, Thank you for your review! I'm glad you are finding it so useful and we look forward to having a chat about how we can make it fit your MS workflows a bit more comprehensively. Thank you for taking the time!

Pros:

The flexibility. Plenty of ways to go about estimating. I like the database side of things too, a great way to develop estimating knowledge fast.

Cons:

The 'finish/unfinish' feature. A bit clunky. Could use with a bit more work on the user-friendliness side of things. Less features might be a good thing.

Vendor Response

Hi Chris, Thank you for your review, and glad you are finding it useful. There are fewer features in the Express and Excelerate editions of the software, it's possible you might not need every aspect of Genesis, which has been built up with feature requests from clients over the years. But always happy to help you navigate and get the most out of it, so appreciate you using the customer support!

Pros:

What I liked most about Expert Estimation was its user-friendly interface and the flexibility it provided in managing complex project estimates.

Cons:

While Expert Estimation is a powerful tool, one thing I liked least was the initial learning curve, especially for new users unfamiliar with estimation software. Some of the more advanced features could be a bit overwhelming without proper training or documentation.
