Happy to use the software when compared against other proprietary programs that are difficult learn

Software design & functionality aligns with many MS excel functions, which means new users can adapt to the software quickly.

The software become clunky when used over a network and the estimate has over 3000 lines with numerous worksheets behind each BOQ line.

Very Happy with the program and support staff

1: After-sales maintenance and service,2: The staff are all very professional and helpful to deal with.3: The ability to work on multiple estimates at a time.3: Genesis estimating program is ideal for in-depth estimates, and is suited to a wide variety of estimating functions, and a wide variety of industries, Electrical, Civil, Building, Mechanical Electrical,When the estimates are correctly structured, this makes the review and verification process a lot simpler.The software is simple to use after the initial learning curve.Further learning can be enhanced by using the online training platform

The cost for multiple-user platforms should be a loyalty discount for multiple-user companies.

I've found Expert Estimation to be an easy to use and intuitive application that provides all the functionality I need to produce and review estimates. When reviewing estimates on-screen with clients, they have been impressed with the level of transparency and reporting available with the click of a mouse. Highly recommended.

Expert Estimation Genesis is an easy to use multi-user application with good security controls and an intuitive, clean user interface. It can be used for all disciplines and it's about as flexible as you can get when setting up your projects. The availability of an undo button and the ability to make save points at various stages of the estimate development is very useful, as is the automatic save and backup features so you never lose your work. It is supported by superior training modules and knowledgebase as well as 24/7 support.

The application seemed to be a little sluggish with some of the monster size projects (say >20k line schedules) but performance improves with each application update so it's important to keep up to date. Generally there is little not to like about the software. If you hit a stumbling block, call the team and they usually solve most issues during the phone call.

Great. Friendly focused/tailored training, great support and well thought out estimation software.

The segmentation of each financial aspect to make up an overall estimate. The libraries make it easy to price and update prices.

None - I am very happy with the product.

The formula cell implementation ignores plain text strings allowing estimators to write descriptions and units inside the formula which provides context to calculations and is an excellent feature.Simultaneous working within a project is a great feature and works flawlessly.Managing margin, overheads, risk, and spreading works well.The ability to build a library of rates and the Group Resource features are excellent.

Expert Estimation has a confusing set of keyboard shortcuts. Rather than mirroring the typical shortcuts and formulas most would be accustomed to in other programs (eg Microsoft and particularly Microsoft Excel), Expert estimation has used it's own set despite the overall similarity to MS Excel in terms of layout. This adds relearning requirements when training on Expert and slows down the work speed. In addition some formulas are cumbersome and could be shortened, eg "#LQ" is probably the most used function when estimating.The direct cost schedule formula cell does not allow for references to other lines as is possible within the cost estimates themselves.

I really enjoy using expert and highly recommend this product to any organisation that a looking to improve their pricing.

Expert estimation offers numerous features that I appreciate, particularly its functionality as a pricing tool. As a frequent user of expert estimation, I've had the opportunity to enhance and refine my pricing models, enabling me to extract and construct various pricing strategies for other types of construction industries.

I've yet to fully tap into the vast array of functions that Expert Estimation has to offer, which means that I haven't had the opportunity to fully explore its extensive capabilities.

It does the job & enables large & complex estimates to be constructed in a quick and efficient manner.

The Genesis version is much more user friendly than the earlier 2014 version and provides a number of options to enable estimates to be customised to suit each requirement. The Pronamics team has worked hard to get this newer version to match and now surpass the 2014 version in features and usability.

When used by multiple users simultaneously accessing one file at once, it does manifest stability issues at times which greatly disrupts team productivity.

Expert is highly interoperable with microsoft based systems.

I have not come across any issues in the 1 - 2 years that I have been utilising Expert

Overall experience is positive and we ensure all engineering staff are trained in this software package.

The local support and training that's available around this software package.

a few little gremlins between the older classic 2014 version and current model however this has been addressed and fixed with recent updates

Good software with great support. Small niggles/issues generally have a reasonable workaround.

Fast software, easy to organise and reasonably intuitive.

Some automated features of the product such as removing resources against zero quantity line items can become cumbersome when testing large template-like estimates that require the input of multiple scenarios without reconfiguration.

As a Photographer, at times it was difficult to ascertain exactly what each job was costing my business. Expert Estimation Excelerate allowed me to gain a bottom up understanding of the direct and ancillary costs, allowing me to be much more confident with my pricing structures, and allowed my business to generate a financial plan, leverage that plan to grow and expand.

Its easy to use, promotes business transparency and allows users to ensure that all of their costs are being recovered.

None to speak of... The 24/7 support line resolve any issue I have had VERY quickly.
