Love it!
The customer service department is outstanding! They are constantly adding new features and upgrades.
PROSVery clean and professional report! Myself an my clients like the live links to switch between sections of the report.
CONSThere 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.

Steady performance and fantastic support
Reduces reporting time giving me a life in the evenings. Produces a great looking report. Have received many compliments from client and agents alike.
PROSDesigned by inspectors for inspectors. Horizon presents to the user in a very logical way. Best of all is movement within the report. It's very easy to navigate and know where you are.
CONSPage breaks can be awkward sometimes depending on picture layouts mainly. In a few cases I wish font size could be increased.
Reasons for switching to Horizon
I felt Horizon's report looked better and I preferred the "flow" within the software suited my own thoughts patterns.
Vendor Response
Great to hear from you Mark and wonderful to hear about your Horizon Inspection experience has been. Have a great year!

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
PROSLots of options to customize verbiage and templates
CONSI felt the UI was old and ease of use could be better
Reason for choosing Horizon
I did not

Thank you for responding Daniel. We hope you'll revisit when we release the rebuild UI/UX (interface & experience) coming in this fall.

Horizon Inspections Software
This was the first software I used as a building inspector. I was trained on Carbon Copy reports for clients. I have been using Horizon for 10 years and have found that it does everything I need (and surely more). The time saved using this software is immense and the reports are much more comprehensive for my clients.The customer support for any minor issues that I have experienced is fantastic.
CONSThe cost, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Vendor Response
We appreciate your thoughts and insights! As with most software, users scratch the surface utilizing a few key features. We'd be happy show you more customization, marketing features and resources to increase your value.

A software that is work like a library for home inspectors.
Horizon software is one of the most important tool for me.Apart of the features that horizon provide, it’s an amazing marketing tool for my business, most of my clients end the report discussion by admiring the report layout, details, pictures quality and many more.
CONSSome specific conditions are not listed, and some of the implications are exaggerated, although it can be edited, but sometimes it consumes time.
Vendor Response
We appreciate your feedback and comments Faiz! Out of the box, Horizon is the most complete home inspection program available. We understand one can never be all things to all people and provide the flexibility for you to take it to the next level. Thanks again, The Horizon Team

Horizon keeps your head in the inspection and not looking at your device!
Technical support has been top notch! They are patient and personable, most of my interactions were errors on my end. You can tell they really love their jobs and are doing their best to give you a great product
PROSEverything is easy to customize and tailor to your specific needs, lots of built-in captions for defects so the homeowner knows exactly what you're trying to tell them.
CONSThe mobile app is glitchy sometimes and occasionally fails to load photos on the first try.
Reason for choosing Horizon
Customization options and layout

Thanks for making the switch. You've made a great choice and things are only getting better.

I would never leave Horizon
The folks at Horizon have infinite time and patience to help you solve any problem. They are an example of corporate excellence we can all learn from.
PROSThere are so many things I appreciate about this software. It’s customizable, so I can deliver the product I want. It looks sooooo professional as well. And it is efficient, so I am more productive.
CONSI’m a little stuck trying to think about something I don’t like…. I guess I wish it would start producing my commercial reports too!
Reason for choosing Horizon
The presentation of the product sold me.
Vendor Response
Thank you Warren! When you're ready, ask us about commercial reporting that meets ASTM guidelines for Property Condition Assessment (ASTM-e2018)

Home Inspection Report Writing Software
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.
CONSThe 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.

Great software, superior support
Horizon has always been great to work with . If there is a problem or an improvement needed you get an actual person when you call in and they know the program backward and forward. They've never left me stranded on an inspection. I tried a couple of other inspection programs and I continue to use Horizon because of their fantastic customer support.
PROSI can do the field work on my phone and its available instantly on my computer when I get back to the shop. Its possible to do the entire report on the phone, but I'm sure anyone over 45 appreciates a desktop screen size for proofing the report before sending!
CONSThere can be a lot of blank space in the final report, agents gripe about the length of some reports and its mostly blank areas at the end of sections or sometimes it will put just one photo on a whole page. There is a way to eliminate this with their custom report writing, but its springtime and I don' really have time to learn to use it. I'll update this after the spring rush is over and let everyone know how it works.

We're glad you and your clients are happy with Horizon! I can honestly say everyone on our team is passionate about what they do. I'll share your feedback with the team.

Why I choose and still use Horizon
Accuracy, consistency and happy informed clients are what Horizon helps me deliver.
PROSThe ability to use your mobile device in the field, return to the office with 90% of the report completed. The natural transition through the mobile App makes each inspection consistent and complete.
CONSLearning and Integration into my business was pretty quick. Once you begin to use Horizon you quickly go from beginner to mastering the software's features and tools that allow you to customize it specific to your area/region and the type of reports you want to create.
Reason for choosing Horizon
The fact that you can attend any webinar listed that week and ask questions and make suggestions to one of the founders and co-creators of the software and App is pretty special.
Vendor Response
Hello Russ and thank you for sharing your Inspection reporting experience with Horizon. We're thankful for your loyalty and will continue to grow to meet your expectations.

Fast and Reliable
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.
CONSI 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.
Vendor Response
We really appreciate hearing about your experience using Horizon and how it's helping your customers with their buying decision. We'll reach out and show how you can include video to your inspection reports. Thanks again, The Horizon Team

PROSMy clients love it! It's consumer friendly! My realtors love the ACTION List and all the hyper links. The buyers say that's it's easy to understand.
CONSThere's nothing I don't like about it. If there's an issue they address it promptly.

Why I Use Hirizon
Horizon allows me to prepare detailed, good looking reports that my clients love.
PROSData entry - text and pictures - is easy and the published appearance is totally professional.
CONSMost homes contain similar data that will always reappear in from home to home. For ease of entry Horizon is best organized using simple templates which cover these items take which take time to draft and organize. Once you've invested that time though it's easy sailing.
