An Excellent Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud Competitor

Overall, compared to its competition (Procore and Autodesk) it is a breath of fresh air. It has a relatively short learning curve when phasing out of those systems. It is user-friendly in terms of visual presentation. It is very stable and highly optimized (both Desktop and Tablet Platforms) It is updated frequently. The developers have a special Idea Portal in which a User can share their improvements to the system directly with the team. They will also notify the user, if the development team is implementing the idea or not. Trimble releases helpful videos and discloses release notes for every update. Very passionate people behind a very young but very robust product.

PROS

1. Each Module (Drawing, Document, Field and Cost) are relatively consistent and allow the user to share data between them very easily. (Ex: The ability to link markups, RFIs, meeting minutes, issues, observations, screen caps, submittals, reports and logs is possible in every module.) 2. Project Sight offers the customer (3x) different business models to choose from: a User Based, Project Based or a Revenue based Model which allows for more flexibility in terms of payment. As of this post, Autodesk only offers a User Based Business model ad Procore offers an Annual Active Volume Based Business Model. 3. Frequent Maintenance and Updates. During the trial period, I experienced a weekly maintenance refresh and 2 Feature Updates (in a period of less than 1 month). 4. These guys do Meeting Minutes the right way; they allow the user to log in Meeting Minutes using a spreadsheet style template. So as you're building your meeting minutes, you are building your log at the same time! A spreadsheet style input also allows for the user to find specific meeting minutes very quickly. 5. The Built-In Chat is very helpful and on par with the built-in chat from Autodesk's PlanGrid and Procore. 6. Custom (Project Specific) Spec Sections and Cost Codes may be added without being pigeon-holed into using 1 or 2 Internationally recognized formats (ex: Uniformat & Masterfomat). This is especially useful with Public work in which a custom set of specs and cost codes are enforced.

CONS

1. If you are used to using Procore or Plangrid, certain workflows in Project Sight will be different. Ex: For Drawing Management, when uploading a revision, in Procore I could upload a revision to an existing drawing set and it will register that revision without any problems. In Project Sight, each time there is a new revision, you have to create a new drawing set for the system to recognize that one drawing superseded another. 2. As of this writing there is no scheduling module in which I can use Project Sight to view an MS Project or Primavera P6 Cost Loaded Schedule and in which I can extract specific timelines to be linked into meeting minutes or punchlists (ex: 2 week look ahead being used to keep track of progress and cost impact for a punchlist). 3. As of this writing there is no advanced drawing search. At the moment, you can search for specific keywords in the Drawings menu, but you will not see these keywords highlighted when you click on the specific drawing nor will you know the amount of instances that specific keyword appears. You're actually better off using a 3rd Party PDF reader (Bluebeam or PDF XChange are recommended for this) to be able to do this. 4. If you wish to integrate the ProjectSight Budget Module with an ERP System (ex: Sage 300, Spectrum, CMiC, Acumatica), you will only be able to do that through a 3rd party integrator (ex: Morpheus) which will cost you an extra $15k to $30k/yr (depending on whether you choose 1 way or 2 way communication)

Reason for choosing ProjectSight

My company has not made a decision yet regarding this. But compared to the products listed above and the business model flexibility, this is a top contender in our decision-making process.

Latest release...

Great product when calculating your ROI (Return on Investment). Users claim that the product was very intuitive, and able to leverage BIM out in the field for clash detection.

PROS

ProjecSight has come a long way, since announcement at the Trimble's Dimensions conference 4 yrs ago. Latest release includes app for the IPhone to compliment the existing IPad and desktop app. Gives superintendents the ability to track field mobility functions without the dependence of an Ipad. Collaboration is great, and moving file share back to Connect so integrations to Egnyte, Box or Dropbox may be available in the future. Also allow the customers the ability to customize reports, instead of outsourcing development back to the vendor.

CONS

Only few modules are available on the IPhone app; more coming on the roadmap. Need more APIs to other applications.

Reason for choosing ProjectSight

Cost and ease of use. Users were familiar with the modules, workflow, features, and functions.

Reasons for switching to ProjectSight

Good for project engineers, not for field crews yet

Overall for us: We switched from Procore, and are considering switching back. My attempt to sum up why: it feels like PS was designed by software engineers who only tested it one way. That way was using a desktop computer. The most important thing for us is how well it works in the field. There, PS suffers. It especially suffers compared to Procore. To me, it seems they did not consult enough actual field guys in the design of the app. I think they just designed PS to work in the web interface, the main development crew didn't even test it in the app, then later a separate "app development team" did what was easy for them. Should have consulted more actual field crew during development. It is marketed as a way to connect your field crews to the office info, after all!

PROS

ProjectSight is a welcome up-and-coming competitor to Procore. We were a Procore customer before switching. There was/is definitely room in the market for one, Trimble is well-positioned to be that competitor, and I was happy to see their product come available. Features I like: we use Vista accounting, so we can tick the box in Vista and it automatically sets up the PS project using same name, job number, etc.

CONS

It has been a difficult transition from Procore for several reasons:1. Procore worked faster. I continually heard from the field that they were waiting for PS. This has improved lately but still is noticeably slower than Procore.2. The drawings tool in the app is frustrating for the crews. When navigating in a drawing (just panning around a sheet), they frequently go the previous or next sheet by accident... because if you accidently pan to the edge of the drawing, it interprets that as a "swipe" to the next sheet. This should be changed to NOT swipe to the next drawing, and instead have good buttons elsewhere on the screen.3. Uploading drawings works well enough, except for one thing: you can only assign one Discipline to an upload. So you have to break a large drawing set file up into several pdf files (one for each discipline). It's cumbersome. Should be able to shift+click multi select, and reassign.4. Project photos - it is easy enough to put them in a folder from your computer, so it works if you have a Project Engineer that you can send out to take photos, then that person downloads them from their phone to a computer and puts into PS. But for a field guy to take daily photos in the app, using their phone? That takes 6 or 7 clicks PER PHOTO! In other words, it doesn't happen. Big liability for me right now, with no solution. NEED DEDICATED CAMERA BUTTON IN APP!5. Address isn't available in the app, so it is useless to navigate to a new project.

Reasons for switching to ProjectSight

Procore's annual charge to us went up noticeably one year, enough to get us started considering alternatives. That led us to finding PS which had recently been released.

Highly recommend Project Sight

Overall Project Sight has multiple tools to stay on track of all the projects you have going. Budgets, job tracking, purchase orders, submittals, and change orders are easily documented and tracked. It makes the job of a project manager more efficient when used properly.

PROS

Project Sight is a wonderful tool for our Mechanical Construction Industry. As a project manager, it gives me the tools I need to stay organized for large scale projects.

CONS

The email document option through Project Sight does give the recipient some issues sometimes. To me it seems more like user error with the end user though.

LaRusso Concrete

Mediocre at best.

PROS

The only thing I liked about project site was the fact that it was less expensive than procore.

CONS

Other than that project site is 100 percent inferior to procore. Hard to navigate. And not very user friendly. There needs to be a MAIN site plan, with click-able links to the different site details. Such as civil details specifically for me. Also, click-able links to RFI'S and other notable changes.

Reasons for switching to ProjectSight

It made financial sense for my company. However, the time it's taking for us in the field to navigate your platform is now costing us thousands of dollars a day.

Considering a change from ProjectSight

It feels like there is a lot of room for improvement left, from the upload project management side, to mobile app use in the field. I'm not sure we are going to be able to be patient enough to watch these changes slowly unfold.

PROS

It was much more affordable than ProCore and synced up to our existing Viewpoint accounting and reporting system.

CONS

It has become almost unusable in the field because of how long it takes to download plans or access anything that is not downloaded. User interface does not compare to Procore and is generally lacking. Employees in the field have been asking us to go back to Procore.

Reasons for switching to ProjectSight

Procore started to charge us a fee based on our revenue, which made it a bit more expensive than ProjectSight. However, we are now wondering if we would have been better off staying with the status quo.

Projectsight for Heavy Civil

ProjectSight has helped us improved our collaboration and reduce rework and confusion by ensuring that all of the teams have the same information.

PROS

The modules submittals, rfi, issues and drawings are helping us improve our collaboration with our field forces and trade partners.

CONS

The drawing viewer is very slow on the web version and ProjectSight does not handle subcontractor management very well.

Reason for choosing ProjectSight

ProjectSight seemed to be more robust and that Trimble will put most of its effort into it.

Better than Prolog

ProjectSight is a solid project management solution. The biggest improvement for us while using ProjectSight is the full integration with our accounting system. We are now tracking project financial in near-real-time.

PROS

ProjectSight is a highly collaborative project management solution that has the pedigree of its more than successful predecessor Prolog Manager. The user interface is intuitive to use and requires little training. As a SaaS solution it is easy to administer and deploy. It's integration with other Trimble solution is a great plus.

CONS

As a company that had a well functioning document management system which was integrated with Prolog Manager we are missing robust document management functionality and workflow management. The file library module is functional but an upgrade is greatly anticipated.

We switched from Procore to Project sight and overall, Project Sight has been inferior to Procore in almost every way. Half of our field crew simply does not use it.

PROS

CONS

The process for uploading plans is pretty straightforward but there is no easy way to insert single updated sheets, at least not that I have been able to figure out. Even though the app is pretty easy to use, there is no wat to access a jobsight address. The only way to do this is to use the web version, which is not very easy to do from the field on a phone or tablet. There is no good way to take field photos within the program.

A step in the right direction

It’s definitely a Step in the right direction for older industries, like construction, to have proper workflows and to keep all information in an accessible place for use in the office environments and offsite environments, like construction sites, but needs to adapt capabilities to allow for large amounts of information to be both processed, stored, and accessible at the same time.

PROS

You can easily categorize and sort submittals and RFIs in order to keep information centrally located. The workflow aspect keeps everyone accountable. You can customize to your project’s needs.

CONS

The emails - the links didn’t work well if you were not on a computer. The app only allowed you to see RFIs and Submittals up to a certain number - if there more in the system than approx 300 then you couldn’t find everything. The subcontractors virtually couldn’t use the system as it is not field friendly.
