No incentive was offered We are a small architectural firm and opted to change to Clearview InFocus when the program we were using was getting too complicated and too expensive. InFocus met our needs in all our required billing, project tracking, etc., but for a smaller investment. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a workhorse software. I can't say enough about it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like the ease of transition from one software to another. It is a very easy software to learn and use. I have been using since 2010, and it has progressively gotten better and better. New features are always coming on board. Trust met...you will like it! #### Cons Reports are good but I required a great deal of customization to get the results needed. The one downside is that it does not have a payroll application. If you do in-house payroll, you will need a separate software to run along side InFocus. --- ### Good for our industry - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Huge time savings getting through invoicing. All information input into one system. Ability to have projects and invoicing tied together. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that we can build estimates and track a project from beginning to end. All costs go in and are automatically available for invoicing at markup rates. Flexible and able to have multiple price sheets. Integrated with project scheduled, resource planning, time sheet and expenses. #### Cons Interface is a little outdated. Some standard reports you get in products like Quickbooks are not present. Mobile timesheet is a little outdated but works. #### Reasons for choosing Unanet ERP AE Price and we used Ajera at another company and it was good but I didn't like some of the planning features. #### Reasons for switching to Unanet ERP AE Product was slow on desktop, slower on web. had to build every invoice, every time. Too much effort to bring in timesheet data. --- ### Best ERP and Project Management Software for its price - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Johana R. - Industry: Design - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has all the blows a whistles SAP has to offer. For me, it was very important that InFocus had strong internal controls in order to preserve the integrity of the data. Additionally, it is very user friendly and allows for quick queries, custom reports, and third-party integration. It is a software that caters to your needs without the big software restrictions. #### Cons Currently there is nothing a true dislike. But if i had to pick one it would be statements. In order to generate stand alone statements and submit to the client it has to be done manually versus a mass email distribution. Similar to invoicing. However, if the client is invoiced on a monthly basis they would recieve a copy of their statement with their invoices. --- ### Great software for small to medium size firms - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Teresa K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

If there is something that you want it to do then it can probably be achieved with some knowledge of SQL or Powershell. All modules are included, which when you consider this the pricing is very competitive #### Cons It does not include payroll; however, I usually prefer to have payroll separate anyways, as the functionality of payroll from a dedicated software is usually much better. --- ### Very Easy to use compared to other time sheet systems. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Don M. - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ability to document as much as possible...adding documents..no character limit for comments. also the ability to copy and paste existing information #### Cons Sometimes information is lost if more than one person accesses the time sheet.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3.5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Our company has been with Clearview since 2008 and we've grown with them over the years. What I believe I like best about Clearview is that besides it being fairly easy to use, someone is always available to reach for help via phone or email (during business hours) and they are prompt in responding back. Whether I need a custom report made quickly or training on a new release item they've just put out, it is comforting to know that I'm always going to be taken care of quickly. #### Cons I'm really happy with Clearview so really don't have anything specific that I don't like. --- ### Project Management Portion - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Leora S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Philanthropy - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for free trial - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros -Very organized and easy to manage -Very simple -I like the way your able to group products - I like the charts! -Not so expensive #### Cons The look is what throws me off most its way too simple.

No incentive was offered With hundreds of projects and five offices our managers need to stay current on the status of their work and have the tools to develop new proposals. InFocus is indispensable for personnel management and project performance. Plus it provides financial statement and accounting data that is crucial for senior management and independent accountants. The data available and the variety of the reports are limitless. Also, our clients want their invoices and reports in a wide variety of styles. The open structure and adaptability of the InFocus system is a constant marvel at design and intuition. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its flexibility, power and data retrieval ability. We have forty-five people in our company, with five office locations and six profit centers (disciplines). Of these forty-five people, more than two thirds are field personnel that are often asked to work in various disciplines or support the work in our other offices. At any one time we have a couple hundred projects open for scores of clients. Keeping track of this is incredibly difficult. We worked with Clearview for a couple of months in order to transfer our existing clients, projects, time records and accounting records to our new system. With over 16,000 historical projects and a current work in process in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, we matched to the penny. Working with them is a pleasure. Not only is the InFocus package all that it claims to be, the folks at Clearview are great to work with. Sure there is a bit of a learning curve, but the answers are so intuitive you can’t believe you did not think of it yourself. Their support literature, training videos, white papers and support site are extremely helpful. There may be comparable products out there, but I seriously doubt there is anything better. If there was a better product or solution, these folks would match or exceed it. We all have competition; we need competition to push us to do a better job. #### Cons Getting others in our organization to appreciate and better use this management too. --- ### Simple, easy product to use - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Mike J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy to use, team leveraged it to measure process and goals for Pro Services team. Quick to set up and adjust once in production. Limited requirements of IT or technical changes once in place. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Simple to use, easy to roll out and report out of. #### Cons Lacked advanced features of other products in this space that might cost marginally more. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/psa/unanet-a-e-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Unanet ERP AE Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
