I't fairly easy to learn and integrate. It's visual and it's fairly robust.

Compatibility, ease of use, great tools for detailed takeoffs.

I found a program at a price that was better than the others. It seems much more do-able for me.

What I like about OST is it’s easy to use you can get the hang of the Badi oh very quickly and it helps you count items onscreen from a pdf plan or TIFF file. Measures distances, counts and areas.

Product is a bit on the pricey side - but is definitely very effective and I would recommend to anyone doing digital take offs.

Very easy to use and like being able to down load the contact information. Also its nice to be able to see every important information about the company.

I been using it for ten years OST Takeoff and Quick bid it seems to work fine but i just  require substantial time to synchronize both products.

Excellent tool for accurate compilation of quantities from pdf's. I highly recommend this to high volume estimators such as myself.

The software has no ability to copy and paste into a document. No real other complaints.

The software is at least a decade out of date when compared to any other industry standard take-off software. Its clunky, non-intuitive, terrible UI and converts any drawings to.

Many useful features, Quick and accurate general estimating tools, Good support.

It has been great software for all kinds of estimates.

Be sure it is a good fit for your operations team. Decide on a licensing strategy whether networked or local.

The software is easy to use and learn and offers almost all the functions I need to complete a takeoff. The time and money saved by using this program can be clearly seen and makes my job fun.

Easy to do simple measurements and counts. The various levels and labels are nice, also being able to change colors makes it easy to differentiate between items.

Everything from the time of sales, to the implantation of the software, to the daily use and continuing customer support. Very friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable.

I liked the ability to organize and derive quantities in different ways. One line item can yield several quantities in different units of measurement.

In QuickBid they easily become buried in the bid and get missed. Adding drawing numbers and names function in OnScreen Takeoff does not work well.

Easy to use and nice display screen. Easy to measure things on the drawings.

I loved it for being fast but to many  options can slow me down a bit.

Inability to interact with drawings and a terrible UI.

If you also pay for QuickBids, it integrates well with that. The tech help service is outstanding.

The flexability of being able to copy pages and do different things that helps me be able to look at different pricing.

My take-offs are clean and easy to understand. My production has more than doubled and the results are better.

But their policy was not to refund although they made a promise that was false showing they value money over principles. Very misleading and I am sickened by the way they do business.

Inability to label linear conditions. Inability to increase the size of the font on condition labels.

The only thing I get frustrated with is the lag with some of the functions.

I have tried other Takeoff software, but this is the best for me. I like this product because it is user friendly and has several built in tools that others may not have.

OST is a very easy to use tool to do take offs with and what we like most about it is. Fast Counts for areas, Linear feet, And counts.

There are a lot of functions in this program and it can be extremely confusing if you do not take the time to learn it properly.

I enjoy the quick and professional technical support. They are always responsive, pleasant and helpful.

Overall, great experience. Saves a lot of time when preparing for estimates/bids.

My overall experience with OST has been great.

The Customer Tech help is absolutely outstanding. I am so pleased with every interaction I have had with your company.

I have had issues changing the Claimant Email address in the past which can become frustrating. I also believe a detailed summary of exactly where the Subcontract 100% claimed is at.

Overall a very positive experience with the software.

The approval process of subcontractor monthly claims is so much quicker and easier.

Tracking the progress of claims, previous claims and the items of works complete is very easy and clear.

It is hard to tell if the current pending invoice is included in this or not currently.

Less work for Project Managers as no need to worry about formulas & spreadsheets when submitting claims & supporting documents each Month.

Having to explain to subbies and the project team that there is a cost chargeable to subcontractors - that is always an awkward conversation to have.

The software has been beneficial in many aspects such as reducing time spent in the processing and approval workflow.

They print out with one specific Principal which we would like to have corrected in due course. Overall have high satisfaction on meeting the requirements for an efficient approval management system.

Claim structure is simple. Customer support is quick and helpful.

Ease of use, ability to upload subcontracts and easily assess progress claims.

An elegant solution to addressing SOPA required Payment claims and Payment schedules.

The staff reports the it is very easy to use. Now main aim is getting our subcontractors on board.

Payapps have made managing the paperwork easy, customer service is also awesome.

Couldn't fetch the details some time of traffic. I experienced server down problem also.

Payapps allows claims processing to be done in a timely fashion with reminders of outstanding claims ensuring claims are processed within allowable deadlines.

The fact that progress claim breakups can be easily uploaded via an excel spreadsheet and converted to the payapps system.

Shame it only utilises payments and not more contract admin.

Saves time, and helps control the claim process each month from one point of collection and avoids multiple claims coming in from different sources such as email, aconex, mail.
