As I've used DynaSCAPE throughout the years, I've only come across a few things that were mildly frustrating.

The software is good and the customer service has been great as well. I would consider it the best, or certainly the top tier, of what is available.

When I have a question I contact our sales manager and either he will help resolve the issue or he sends my issue to the support department and they are pretty quick to help with the issue.

Excellent extension into supporting programs, colour, sketch up, etc. Fantastic customer support.

Great company to work with. Very responsive to tech support.

The Best Professional CAD software for the Landscape Industry.

An advantage to our business is that time spent on revisions is greatly decreased, which helps with time management.

Good integration with SketchUp and a fantastic 3D library. Tied into Manage360 for quick and accurate estimating - a system that allows you to properly recover overhead.

The ease of use and the finished product. I can quickly put together a plan and have the confidence knowing I can present a high quality plan to the client.

Just because a program automates some processes, if you aren't paying attention, it could get you in trouble if you don't realize a glitch in the system.

I like that landscape designs can be colored and are very impressive looking to clients. I also love that the designs can be imported into Dynascape Manage and automatically create a proposal.

Back yards are more expensive and should be for a reason. We had a hard time estimating this before.

The plans I design always come out looking crisp and clean. There are so many great things about this software, I highly recommend it.

One feature I like most about the software is the measuring tools. It's very quick and easy to calculate square footages on patios and walkways for estimating purposes.

My favorite part, and what impresses others the most, is the aesthetic of the final product, particularly with DynascapeColor.

The plant symbols are good and make the drawings look tailored to the landscaping. We only use Manage 360 for pricing and estimation purposes, it works well and the kits are a huge time saver.

Job tracking is dreadful. Not at all flexible and very confusing.

Great piece of software with a helpful support team.

Dynascape has helped me to provide my clients and installers with clear, well-labeled, and aesthetically pleasing designs to both help sell and install my designs.

Once you have used the software for awhile and have gotten past the steep learning curve it's a great software. There are tons of figures in the library that are already scale to your plan.

Best landscape design software, large learning curve + high entry level cost.

Cannot easily integrate pictures through M360 to generate plant photos automatically.

I like the integration of a comprehensive plant database and auto generation of plant lists. The color add-on is also very beneficial for presentations.

When a revision is necessary being able to quickly make that change and print a new sheet is so nice and I am thankful for having that capability.

It still relies on technology that was first used in the early 2000s. There is no intuitive interface, and it shows it age with the inability to seamlessly edit or modify any of the layers.

It’s very easy to build templates and pallets of plants to shorten design internally. The title block we built and the symbol combinations are clean and east to use.

I find it very odd that the plants are listed alphabetically by botanical name but listed as the common name.

Once I learned the program, I soon realized the advantages to creating my Landscape Projects with the program and started producing all my drawings on Dynascape in my Landscape Design Practice.

The software is easy to use, and integrates accuracy with graphic quality for an end result that is presentation worthy to the average person.

Drawing with the product is painful compared to others. It's not very intuitive if you are coming from other programs.

There is a learning curve, yes, but I believe it is well worth your time and the financial investment to get this software and test it out for yourself.

Need to be able to do templates yourself and not wait on the company to do them and pay them a lot of money.

Manage 360 is a great program for estimating and managing projects. Its integration with Dynascape Design is time-saving, which is nice too.

Actual functionality is limited in some regards and it is actually the programs ability to integrate with sketchup that is it's strongest feature.

Manage has helped us capture all of our expenses, overhead and profit in our proposals. Prior to having it, we were leaving a lot of money on the table and did not even know it.

You can use the program fairly fast to produce nice presentation plans. To me the graphics are important cuz it looks like a hand drawing as much as anything can.

The only this that Dynascape is missing is a 3D function similar to Sketchup.

Poor functionality in some tools (take off tools that cannot interpret outlines without cutting and pasting the polygon to the side and measuring it as a separate entity).

This software is very easy to use and learn. It is the easiest to navigate and the cleanest looking for the customers.

I have been a user for about 15 years. I absolutely love the ability to create precision drawings that are easily integrated into  the field for actual construction.

Over all, I do really like the product. It's relatively easy to use compared to AutoCad and its tailored to the type of landscape architecture projects I like to do.

Dynascape is a good entry software, and is adequately priced. I learned it at seneca college and consider myself proficient enough in it that I enjoy using it.

Trying to tackle learning the software alone was very difficult for me. It wasn't until after learning from her that the  videos made sense and I can utilize them now when I'm stuck on a feature.

It is very user friendly and helps me quickly create creative designs.

Inventory management is difficult in my business. Also forgot to hit save a few times and lost my quote.

Simpro is a powerful platform and integrates very well with other financial software that we use. It allows for all departments in our company to work seamlessly together.

Dispatching, Purchase order, Estimating and billing portion of the software top notch flow great to together awesome.

Job costing is an important concern for us and SimPRO does an excellent job of tracking job costs.

I have been in contact multiple times with the Help Desk/Software Support and they are great too.

It is much better Job cost then we have used before.

I really like the way the software is laid out. Pretty easy to navigate.

Simpro lied and misled me at the very start to get my business now wont refund me what i have paid now i have cancelled. Now in the hands of my solicitor.

We are all very happy with the way this system handles assets, we will be able to move our entire previous work history into these notes as it pertains to site location.

It is user friendly from both the administration and technician standpoint. My technicians are actually excited about using simPRO because it is straightforward and efficient.

There are a few confusing aspects of the contacts database and how it relates and connects to jobs, quotes, customers, etc.

Paper would be faster and more efficient some days. The worst part about this is the application on android has not had an update since april 2019.

The simPRO Mobile App is logical and easy for our technicians to add time and materials to in the field. The ability to easily add photos and attachments to the job is a nice feature.

Their customer service is awesome. There are so many different ways to get in touch with someone and they're quick to respond.

SimPro Suite is a CRM that Provides a Great Software and Excellent Supprt.

Ease of use, functionality, easy to scale up and down with the software.

The mobile platform is rubbish. Constant crashing and syncing errors.

The custom reporting is a bit difficult and confusing.

The software is pretty excellent when it comes to creating, managing and invoicing jobs with day to day clients. Most aspects of the desktop software are quite easy to use and understand.

And slightly blurred pricing on number of licenses will be charged at what point.

The software has been great and had performed as described. The integration team has been awesome as well.

Sales Guy : I'm super happy that rep came out to help me sell this software to the owners of my company.

Easy to implement the back office side works really well and gives the ability to manage stock and jobs easily. The integration into Quickbooks is flawless and is a great boon.

Clients are thrilled that during a meeting I can pull up Simpro and provide answers to all their questions. I recommend SimPro to anyone who is looking for a user friendly CRM that works.

Integrating our old software to simPRO was difficult due to our old software running on DOS.
