Love it!

The customer service department is outstanding! They are constantly adding new features and upgrades.

PROS

Very clean and professional report! Myself an my clients like the live links to switch between sections of the report.

CONS

There not very many options in the infield app in regards to the annotations on the pictures which means more time at home on the computer verses spending time with the family.

Vendor Response

Hi Chris, we appreciate your review. We're proud of how unique and effective the report is to use for Home buyers. If your clients love your reports then we've done our job.

The best full service inspection software.

Horizon realizes more than any other software that time is precious, whether yours or your clients and is laser focused on saving it. They are constantly upgrading the system with an eye towards making things easier and faster while not sacrificing the end product. My typical day includes 2 inspections with reports on site averaging 3-4 hours at each inspection, answering the phone, booking new inspections and travelling on average 300-400 km. There is no way I could do it without Horizon.

PROS

The mobile app is fast and responsive. The report writes itself as you do the inspection.Everything is integrated, once information is entered in the work order Horizon looks after everything from contracts to reminder and follow up emails. Less time spent on the booking and administration side of the business means more time inspecting and with clients. I also like the all in pricing. I get access to all Horizon's features for one price.

CONS

There have been recent issues with photo upload in the app. Hopefully short lived.The booking side of the system needs updating to a more mobile friendly system that matches the inspection app for speed and efficiency

Vendor Response

We love the All-In-One capabilities as well! We appreciate you sharing your experience and look forward to growing to the future.

Good value, comes with kinks

For the price, the value is pretty good, I did move to a different product as I felt the interface was old and not as user friendly as other programs

PROS

Lots of options to customize verbiage and templates

CONS

I felt the UI was old and ease of use could be better

Reason for choosing Horizon

I did not

13 Year Daily User of Horizon Inspection Software

100 % Happy with this product and this can be seen with 13 Years of loyalty to them! Thank You Horizon!

PROS

I've been using Horizon Report Writing Software since my company was opened 13 years ago and I can honestly say that this software is the best out there. I've had a couple offers from other companies to try their software and after using their trial version, It's quite easy to see the difference between the various types of software. My client always tell me how easy the report is to read and navigate trough it. The report look very professional and this software is super easy to use. User friendly and updated with great diagrams and information for customers is hands down the best! I will continue to use them regardless of the price because I like paying for quality as do my clients for quality inspections and reports.

CONS

I honestly have no cons about the software. The price tends to be a bit higher than some but paying for quality is a no brainer. Their customer service is always ready to help and this is very important to me.

Vendor Response

Thank you Matt! We love to hear your customer feedback on your reports and professionalism. The Horizon Team

Unique in My Area

There was a month or so when the desktop Offline version wasn't working and it took several calls to Support to get it going again.

PROS

I started using Horizon about 7 years ago. It took a few reports to get the hang of it, Like any others.What i like the most is the way it fills in my writing that I have already written before. I also like the way I can work on it with my laptop when I dont have internet access. I like the descktop version. I do 99% of the reports ont he desktop version and then go into the online version to finish up.

CONS

I have asked before if there was a way to start a new section without it going to the next Page. It leaves a big blank area and makes the report look longer. To me, I don't care, but I get comments back from realtors about how long they are.

Reason for choosing Horizon

Honesty Cant remember. I think I was finishing up my 2 week course in St. Louis and there was a Rep there or a booth and I liked how the pictures worked.

Vendor Response

We appreciate hearing your feedback and comments. Glad the support team was able to resolve the offline issues to get you back up and running.

Game changer for Home Inspector

PROS

For more than 20 years, Horizon Home Inspectors has been the backbone of my inspection business, providing me with essential support. Their app is incredibly user-friendly and helps me cover all the bases during inspections. I love how I can customize the checklist to fit each property. But what really stands out is their top-notch customer service—they're always ready to go the extra mile. After two decades in the industry, I can confidently say that Horizon Home Inspectors is the best, and I wouldn't dream of using anything else. This app is like a trusted friend, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about improving their inspection process.

CONS

The only minor hiccup I've encountered is that occasionally the program can be a bit slow, but it's a small inconvenience compared to the overall efficiency and quality of the Horizon Home Inspectors app.

Vendor Response

Thank you Ricardo! We think so too

The beauty of horizon

So far, it has been good using horizon.

PROS

It is easy to use and to navigate through. The generated reports from horizon are neat and not too busy as I have seen with other reporting tool.

CONS

Inability to introduce personal or external illustrations other than what is in horizon. The issue of distorting my photos when I load it without working on the size. It usually lead to waste of time for me editing my photos and increase the time for me to turn out my report.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with the Horizon software system. We truly appreciate your input and are delighted to hear that you've had a positive experience with our product and support team.

Foley's software experience

I found Horizon software system user friendly and the staff very helpful

PROS

The reporting software is a very profession system and I found the [sensitive content hidden] staff were always very obliging and extremely helpful and patient in providing a resolution to my problem.

CONS

I did not find the software difficult to use and found it was an easy transition into my inspection system.

Reasons for switching to Horizon

I used my own inspection system and had great success with it, but after seeing your software system I liked it and wanted to challenge myself and try out a new system, I am glad that I did switch.

Vendor Response

We're thrilled to hear that you found our reporting software to be highly professional. Ensuring a polished and reliable reporting system is a top priority for us.

Home Inspection Report Writing Software

PROS

Horizon has a clean interface, is intuitive, has little/no learning curve and produces good looking reports. It is also quite customizable but not in an overwhelming way that some other programs offer.

CONS

The inability to format text (bold, italic, colour, etc.) is frustrating at times and terrible page breaks which make some reports look a bit odd.

Vendor Response

We appreciate you taking the time to comment Tom! We're glad you and customers love the professional format, content and overall presentation. We'll reach out to show you more cool features to customize text and layout.

Very good, but could be excellent

Quick and fast report generation. Required items checklist is also very helpful. Being able to import boilerplate text entries created by third-party companies would be very easy, and make set up for new users quick.

PROS

Quick and easy Report generation and field notes. Marketer is great for automatic Communications.

CONS

Lack of simple additions that would make life easier for home inspectors. Examples. Customer contact information phone number excetera in Google Calendar entries. The ability to click on a field in the homepage of the website to bring up that section of the work order. At present you have to click on work order and then the section you want. Also, an indication of whether it is paid or contract signed at the homepage would be very useful. Repetitive standardized tasks could be simplified. For example custom report type selections on the report publishing page. For example a drop-down menu could be report type A, and when selected it would automatically check certain of the option boxes, fill out the email, and put the typical email addresses, for example to the client and CC the realtor. Having to click okay every time I take a picture in Horizon mobile for Android is redundant because if I click back I will end up in the same place. Not being able to swipe left or right in the mobile on Android to select description or recommendations.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I will pass this along to the team. We'll soon be adding a feature allowing you to submit and rate feature requests mush easier.

A well structured format

Great people, great format, fun to use.

PROS

Its completely customizable from keeping sections open you use a lot, adding your default notes, arranging the order your canned comments are in for easy use, pictures are removed and stored at a different location after use so you don't have to sift through them again unless you need them, customers love the systems informational guide at the end of the report. The customer support is the best by far from anything i have ever seen. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the team that has guided me, a not so computer savvy person with more kind patients that could be expected. With all of the communication along the way I feel like we are friends. Horizon is a team of passionate people that love their jobs as much as we do. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is all meat and potatoes, direct to the point, love it. Great job [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and team.

CONS

The educational videos are easy to understand and there's a ton of continued education in report righting.

Reasons for switching to Horizon

The sky is the limit on the amount of information you want to provide to your client.

PROS

Horizon Report system helps Home Inspectors to write inspection reports in fast and efficient way. You have all mandatory items you need to meet the standard especially by speed write at the end we make sure nothing is missing. It also helps clients and specially buyers to receive the report right away after inspection. I have been using this software for about one year and half so far and I am really happy with the system.

CONS

I would rather to be able to add videos in some occasions for my clients or to store it in the file for future needs. Also I would rather to pay less, however with the quality that I get, it is worth it.

PROS

Data entry - text and pictures - is easy and the published appearance is totally professional.

CONS
