This software is cloud based and pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.

It is a little difficult to change the wording of the descriptions.

I forgot to shut it down and then got charged for two additional months at $59 a pop.

Overall happy with products. Just have a few kinks they can work out.

Hate that you can not filter the customer list better. Here are some of the filter options I need.

The way you can see if your pricing is competitive as it gives your local market info pertaining to labor and correct amount of time required, etc. Gives it for anything I might encounter.

This is easily one of the best investments I have ever purchased.

Clear estimates is extremely easy to navigate and is very customizable. Perfect for any construction company.

Any questions I had either my teenager would figure it out for me or an email to Support and they are back with you that day sometimes within the hour. Very friendly and they speak on my level.

Ease of use and software ease, the ease of putting together solid bids.

The customer service is excellent, website is easy to use and very customizable presents information in easy to use context.

I like how it helps with prices and any questions I have I get a same day response. Very happy with software.

Clear Estimates has definitely improved the efficiency of our Estimating Department.

Clear Estimates seemed to have ease of use and great customer service. The guy you speak with is VERY nice and understanding of your needs.

Trying to simplify estimating, so far the learning curve has been tough for me but I'm still holding out hope.

Sometimes I have trouble finding the topics I need, or have to sort through a lot to find the one I need.

It does lack pricing on impact windows , and pricing on roof trusses are off.

I like the formatting of the invoices and this is what I was looking for.

Good value for those with constant sales revenue and estimating needs. Some integration could use a boost, and it would be nice to be able to import product catalogues.

I would describe this software as organized and simple. Being an electrical contractor the ease of converting this program into what I need was easy.

A quick customized estimate is the only thing that a small contractor would need. This is neat and reliable.

Reports page needs more options. You should be able to put the disclaimer, project disruption etc.

How much faster it is to put accurate estimates together. I also like ability to adjust the labor rates and hourly multiplier for bigger crews.

Standard Sections as reusable components on top of those parts makes it easy to create any estimate from scratch.

One of the cons is that they charged 59 for every  user, they should have a group rate.

This has been my saving grace. Thank you for the free.trial thank you for writing a program I can learn on the fly.

I like the way the Remodelmax cost database  is organized with parts grouped into categories and subcategories.

I like the updated price list and integration with quickbooks.

When they disappear at 7pm at night on a service call and you have to rewrite them it SUCKS.

It is super user friendly & easy to use. I love that it can be used on a computer, cell phone or tablet and there is no subscription.

Customer support is awesome. Very patient and thorough.

It's very helpful in price guide to my industry and area I service. The options to modify custom and favorite items is great.

Payment integration, Quickbooks integration, Customer history, customization ability.

A positive highlight of the tool is its high connection with various social networks that facilitates the dissemination of a professional.

Does not dispatch, no accountability for tracking users, issues with lost information.

It seems to be fairly easy to use. I don't get to use it  as frequently as I would like due to other tasks, so I have questions quite regularly.

For the most part it has been a good experience with Coolfront. Our profits and our price consistency has increased with the flat rate pricing.

Overall any system, in this case, Cool Front flat rate pricing that helps us run our business smoother is great.

Having everything online is very helpful. The integration of credit card processing and the part cart are also great features for our business.

It's great until they take away features that were free.

Ease of use for our field technicians wherever they are. The user set up is simple and easy to manage.

Looks good customers like being able to approve jobs online.

The program is easy to use. The ability to bill the customer and accept payment.

I like that it keeps our customer info and history saved.

The worst customer service ever. I have been trying to get the book form into my new dispatch software.

With Coolfront I have found myself doing better with adding enough time on the job with a good markup of products to help with my overhead for my business.

The ease of use and the simplicity to navigate.

The rep in customer service has been awesome the whole time. She's stayed with us, reaching out over the 2years since we signed up to see how things are going and offer us training.

Having the past history to look at is very helpful. The customer service at CoolFront has been good when we have needed help.

Pricing is pretty accurate and the software is very simple to use. Service agreement with this software is amazing.

I like the ease of pricing service calls. I can make quotes to customers in under 1 min. most of the time.

We did not see anything as disadvantage with this tool.

You have to delete and start over. That is awful and wastes time.

There are no parts I don't like. I use this software fondly.

The customer support response to phone and email inquiries is slow. Additional charges for payment transactions should be billed per transaction only with no other monthly or annual fees.

We set this up for clients who still operate in a mom-and-pop-shop kind of way as an easy solution to update and improve the way they take service orders.
