Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The software itself is customizable and very good overall. Their knowledgebase is extensive, but the search features in it don't yield correct results as often as they should. Vista is very customizable, which is extremely importane. You can create user defined fields and tables. You can also connect to the data via SQL, Excel, etc.

Cons:

They have a suggestion box but getting anything implemented takes multiple years the vast majority of the time. Chat support gets a needs improvement. Far too often in the middle of the day no one is available (including today at 2 PM EST).

Reasons for switching to Viewpoint Vista

Forced. Viewpoint bought and depreciated StreetSmarts, so it was convert to Vista or somewhere else.

Functionality

Pros:

The access to the backend SQL Database and the front end customizability with fields and tables. Once the team got a hold of the backend functionality we could really configure the system to meet our needs.

Cons:

The disconnect between the online Web Portal and the Core Desktop System. Additionally, the product does not offer real API end points. The authentication process and log in workflow needs help.

Reasons for choosing Viewpoint Vista

The CFO wanted Vista and the leadership thought the cost would be lower with the deployment risk to be lower.

Reasons for switching to Viewpoint Vista

The CFO pushed it to allow for intercompany transactions, budgeting and overall source of truth consolidation.

Pros:

Viewpoint allows you to customize the user experience as much as you want. Things like custom fields, triggers causing updates to tables and custom look ups allow you to customize it.

Cons:

Not a friendly user interface, looks like it was made in Windows 98. The tables between SM and JC on the back end are confusing if working in SQL

Overall I have loved the experience with Vista. I love the fact that I have more checks and balances between my team and the accounting team so cost codes are not added without my approval.

I wish that on invoicing and payment that you could simply setup a invoice screen that is more user friendly.

Vista is easy to learn and easy to use. We have numerous members of our staff that are 60+, not computer literate and this software is easy enough for them to use.

The implementation process takes so long and has so much information that has to be entered up front.

Reasons for choosing Viewpoint Vista

The great detail involved and the crazy amount of reports. More importantly is the ability to use sql with the software to create reports or run queries.

Absolute worst software

This is my 9th overall software suite to use for HVAC service. I thought Fieldpoint was the bottom performer, but this has beat FP to the bottom of the stack. The functionality is slow, clumsy, and non-logical.

DO NOT PURCHASE - Look elsewhere $$$$$

Miserable. A product with good intentions but hamstrung by inept support staff and slimy sales process.

Pros:

It's got a ton of configurability if you have a full dev team ready to sit down and dig in with the subject matter expert for each department.

Cons:

Their support staff is a 2/10 on most days and there are frequent questions they just don't know the answer to and if you get to that point they just shrug and close your issue. We were railroaded into getting a half baked cloud solution that took us back to the dark ages in performance and it cost 5x what we were paying for on prem. Trimble is the parent company and we have other software for different things from them. This one is the worst. If you have a massive dev team, 5000 spare labor hours and a mountain of cash, then you could benefit from this after the on-boarding process of 30-1600 days. You will be into time and materials billings at the last 90% of your engagement.

Reasons for choosing Viewpoint Vista

A previous relationship with trimble was the primary reason. Keep in mind we were going off lies told by sales.

Reasons for switching to Viewpoint Vista

Outgrew the quickbooks desktop software and needed more integrations with our processes and hardware.

Great for larger sized firms

Overall, its not a bad program. For a larger operation with an IT dept and someone familiar with coding and macros, I think that it would be a very valuable, but for us, it wasnt the thw solution we needed.

Pros:

The program is actually very useful in terms of data and information services. Reporting is in depth and there is a wide variety of customization.

Cons:

We found it 1) cost prohibitive for the size of our business 2) creation of custom documents such as contracts, RFPs and invoices was clunky and cumbersome and required alot of assistance from customer service 3) purchasing all the separate modules seemed cost prohibitive for the size of our company.
