Pros / Cons
- The Genesis version is much more user friendly than the earlier 2014 version and provides a number of options to enable estimates to be customised to suit each requirement.
- Some automated features of the product such as removing resources against zero quantity line items can become cumbersome when testing large template-like estimates that require the input of multiple scenarios without reconfiguration.

- Updates and improvements seem to be automatic so there is no need to install anything.
- Every item has to be manually entered and often the user has to convert vendor pricing to user pricing, again very time consuming.
