BIM 360 Team Software

Pros

I like that the model is not tied to a server and that it can be accessed anywhere with internet access. And you can see instant updates from consultants if they are on BIM 360 also

Cons

Problem is using cloud model when certain features are still tied to a local hard drive such as Keynoting. We have some team members working remotely and they do not have access to our keynote unless we do VPN access. This should be integrated into BIM360 so it can be accessed easily.

We are solving clashes and coordination out in the field.

Pros

The ability to be out in the field and be able to look at the model and compare it to real life construction.

Cons

Getting used to moving through the model

Pros

The collaborative environment is ideal. it's a LIVE environment which makes coordinating much easier

Cons

We have hit the ceiling in some of the functionality. The versions come out so fast that the same problem occurs over and over and is never addressed.

Pros

If you have a collaborative team on a LARGE project, this piece of software is a no brainer! The collabortive features makes it stand out above all other Revit tools.

Cons

very, very, very, very expensive! Not ideal for smaller projects.

My guys do a lot of work in BIM and between this and Revit Autodesk makes life a lot easier

Pros

Quick & easy to create a mockup for a project to hand off to an architect or test viability under weather conditions. It does a lot of the mapping electrical for you as well. You have to know what you're doing, though

Cons

Man, this is one mammoth of a software. It can do so much, but it is real hard to learn everything about it.

I've been using BIM 360 for 4+ years now, and it has helped me several times to spot and rectify issues before construction activity.

Pros

The ability to visualize building elements, the clash detection features, and collaboration tools to enable communicating issues easily

Cons

The graphic representation of elements like shading, material textures and lighting

Pros

Intuitive and easy to learn. It makes menial tasks very easy and allows linking to plans and more.

Cons

Somewhat clunky interface. Limited functionality in mobile version.

Pros

Connectivity and sync beween BIM products

Cons

It is expensive to have the full potencial of BIM 360 and it's hard to understand all it's capabilities. Could be more user friendly

Overall, i love it. It can take your whole office filing and model drawing to the cloud allowing you to work remotely. To me cloud based modelling is perfect, and I don't even pick up hassles working on a 350mb model from home with only a 5mb line. It handles it effortlessly.

Pros

There is a definite ease of use in comparison to BIM 360 Team that we may be familiar with for those who started working in a cloud based environment with the interface having more of a "Windows Explorer"feel that is fully customisable and with it running off Autodesks Skyscraper Server I find it faster than when running off BIM 360 Team, prbably explains why from Revit v 2019 Team is no longer avaialble. The added benefit of Autodesk constantly improving and adapting the software based on end users feedback and criticisms will keep you constantly impressed with what they are doing.

Cons

This can also bring it to a Con....because Autodesk is always finely tuning the software i wouldn't recommend activating a new addon that they provide immediately after it comes out of "Preview"phase. I have found it to still be buggy and has caused me embarrassment when the end-user takes it as my fault it is not doing what it was supposed to do. 6 months later and now it appears to be working well.

BIM 360 has helped us to connect with customers and contractors globally, more efficiently and saves us time and money on complex EPCM type projects

Pros

The software is very easy to use and understand even for non0engineering staff who interact on our projects.

Cons

It is certainly designed to be used on a high speed broadband connection, using it in very remote locations with poor connectivity is challenging but not impossible.

Helps with indecisive clients , helps provide them a better "feel" of the space.

Pros

Simple to use, Runs smoothly and saves lots of time when drafting. The input of measurements is very easy. Clients are always very impressed with 3D renderings.

Cons

Line drawing is limited and can rarely been used from home becuase of computer requirments.

Overall I could not be happier with BIM 360. In addition to the punch list feature, I also enjoy being able to upload all of my plan sheeting into one centralized location that can be view by anyone I choose to share the project with. It makes soliciting bids much easier.

Pros

The best feature within the BIM 360 platform, is the ability to create punch list. The system not only allows you to create individual issues on your project, but it also always you to link plan pages to those issue for other to reference.

Cons

The exporting feature could use a little work. When exporting a punch list to a different platform, be aware that the cells may not come out exactly as they are shown on BIM 360. The issue is easily fixed with a few modifications to the exported spreadsheet.

We used it on a very large parking structure in Hawaii and we able to identify in ground piping conflicts prior to construction.

Pros

This program helped me as a manager identify potential conflicts far before they became a problem

Cons

Must be proficient at cad for this product to be effective.

Pros

Great product with many features, helps visualize different aspects of the project.

Cons

It was a bit confusing for self at first but after a couple tutorials had a well understanding.

Pros

I liked the ease of use and at the same time the ability to do so many different things.

Cons

I would love to have the ability to watch more tutorials.

We like the ability to track issues and defects to keep everyone involved in the know.

Pros

The platform is very easy to use as you can see all your projects in realtime. The product help organize our team and helped our company make better decisions as we take on more work.

Cons

There is a learning curve involved but it is definitely worth the investment.

Pros

it was very easy to keep track of which models were being uploaded and kept the linking process streamlined.

Cons

the program takes a very long time to update the links in the file compared to other programs

Pros

Ipad functionality and abilities. This allows individuals in the field to use the software and incorporate it into their everyday work. Very simple to use and has made collecting records on completion of projects and documentation so much simpler. It is also very easy to look at content without downloading it and to share content amongst different disciplines.

Cons

Inability to edit files in the software. Some functions on the Ipad are not completely integrated, which makes completing reports on the mobile version difficult.

We are security consultants and some of our clients/general contractors use this platform. It helped us daily in those projects.

Pros

The software helped us to collaborate efficiently with others professionals and the owner.

Cons

It's a bit complicated to use when you doesn't use it often

Pros

What I like most about this software is the functionality that it has over some of the other BIM software that is currently out there in the market.

Cons

What I like least about this software is how enormous some files can get once it has too much detail and certain design capabilities that it cannot fully handle as a design program.
