Glad we switched to Viewpoint

I think if Viewpoint is set up and managed well it is an excellent tool to support project control. I am glad that we made the decision to swap to Viewpoint.

PROS

Quick uploading, sharing and downloading of drawings. Good control over which users can access what drawings. Multiple workflows possible to manage flow of information. Generally gives great control over documents.

CONS

Would like the workflows to be more adaptable, for example, if you wanted one additional person to review a drawing as a one-off, there is no way to accommodate this within the workflows, they are quite rigid.

Reasons for switching to Viewpoint For Projects

We switched from an EDMS called DOCHOSTING (not available on drop-down menu). Previous software was too simplistic to meet the needs of a large construction project - e.g. no workflows.

VFP used by Airey Miller

I'm an admin level user of other CDEs: BIM 360 and Dalux, and have exposure to Asite. I really like VFP despite its few shortcomings and not-so-attractive user interface. I think this system can be intimidating at first, but personally the more I use it the more I appreciate it.

PROS

Primary and secondary file format, 3D Model Viewer, COBie generator, naming convention deployment (and that it can be enforced). We use public links a lot as well and it is very useful as well as the virtual containers. Customer service is excellent. They respond quickly and are usually very knowledgeable.

CONS

The look and feel of the software is a bit outdated. I like that it's highly customisable (settings), but that's a downfall as well, it can get complicated to control access and security settings. It would be great if VFP would allow using projects and templates. Instead every time we create a new project, we have to re-build the folder structure and the main settings. User guides could be updated.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint For Projects

We used VFP for 3 years before we decided to run comparative research before the renewal. Our internal users were complaining about the VFP learning curve and how it was old fashioned looking. We also wanted to do market research to see if there was anything better/more financially viable out there.

Good platform but needs critical tweaking

Good but uploading process needs to be much more easier to avoid non-productivity.

PROS

Secure process for uploading and storing files. Interface easy to use. Accepted as a form of file sharing by many businesses and individuals good track record.

CONS

Process of uploading files seriously needs rethinking. Adopt a similar approach to Dropbox.

Reasons for switching to Viewpoint For Projects

Viewpoint is widely used by many businesses in the construction industry, and is an approved and secure method of file sharing.
