I have found Holobuilder offers the best user interface and tour functionality among competitors.

Ensuring the entire project team understands existing conditions on renovation or adaptive reuse projects. Even team members who are not based on the project site can quickly and efficiently explore existing conditions and confirm elements in the field.

Pros:

The user experience, sheet setup, importing functionality and tour navigation are great. Both our internal teams building tours and external users of the finished product find the tour easy to operate and are driving value from the deliverable. Customer support has been excellent - The team at Holobuilder has been a pleasure to work with!

Cons:

Further automation is generating tours quickly, especial tours with large floor plates (many photos) and multiple levels. The 'Time Travel' feature is not always a good solution, as placing the camera in the exact same spot is not always possible.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your review! We are glad to hear that both your internal and external users have had good experience with HoloBuilder. We really appreciate the feedback on the TimeTravel feature and will work on generating a better solution to produce progress photos that's easier to use. We hope to have an update soon. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any other issues. Thank you again for using HoloBuilder!

Pros:

Easiest 360 capture program to use that we have encountered. Easy to teach the product to clients and to our own employees, great customer service and feature adding team, robust set of features, works online, easy to share product.

Cons:

Some of the features are still getting the bugs worked out of them. The downloadable version of it has many glitches when using the add in features like display text, display warning, or add a pdf or png. The online tool is currently the only option for building your VR walkthroughs, which presents a security risk for many of our clients and there is no option yet for an offline creation tool.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your review! We really appreciate feedback from our customers and use this to further develop the product as well as improve user experience. Please get in touch with our team for further information about our on-premise offering in order to provide additional security to your clients.

Pros:

- The best customer service I've ever received. The customer service team is friendly, quick/responsive and helpful. - Easy to use during meetings to present to our stakeholders. - Program is user friendly and easy to teach to other teammates - Customize-able - time travel feature and ability to import pdfs, photos, contact info, etc. to a 360 photo enhances our ability to track our project's progress Would highly recommend.

Cons:

There are a few bugs when using HoloBuilder on the iPad. HoloBuilder is better for smaller projects. On a large project, with multiple buildings that have multiple floors and multiple sheets that apply to one area; we have to import many sheets. Having many sheets can be overwhelming for stakeholders who are trying to see the progress of our project in a quick snapshot.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your review! We're glad to hear that you're having a great experience with various features of HoloBuilder. We really appreciate your feedback on the iOS app and using HoloBuilder on larger projects. We are working on developing functions that will make setting up and viewing multiple sheets easier and faster. We hope to have an update soon. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. Thank you again for using HoloBuilder!

Functionality

Pros:

The ease of use for the integration of 360 pictures is by far one of the best out there and by being able to plot the pictures on a drawing it helps you locate specifically where the picture was taken.

Cons:

The thing I like least about this program is the amount of work it takes to set up all the sheets and locations of pictures. It is also hard unless you mark exactly where you took the previous 360 to get the exact same result in the next picture.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your review! We are glad to hear that HoloBuilder is working well in documenting your projects. We really appreciate you informing us of your experience with the setup process and are working on streamlining it so that it takes fewer steps. We will also work on generating a better solution to produce progress photos that's easier to use. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you run into any other issues.
