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The software is at least a decade out of date when compared to any other industry standard take-off software.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.

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.

This software is outdated and in desperate need of a total overhaul.

This tool is very easy to use and manage your reports through features provided by the software.

One entry point for client data that is shared across entire company from client inbound calls, invoicing and marketing. Plus, inventory, dispatch and CSR use, it's super proficient and easy to use.

I like how things are color coded. It is very easy to come up with reports needed for accounting issues and seeing profit etc.

I like the program but there is so many easy things they could change to make it more user friendly.

This program is easy to use and has a great way to keep track of our technicians daily schedule.

SW21 is a true accounting system, nothing like some competitors that allow modifications to $ after the fact. Extremely pleased with our decision from 2000, yes we have been with SW21 for 19 years.

Complicated, Difficult, UNuser-Friendly, Poor and Insufficient Training.

Great integration from tracking service history for our customer to keeping accounts payable and accounts receivable up to date.

No Job Costing and the overall accounting is terrible.

I am a CPA working for a Plumbing/Heating company and like that the accounting package is very robust and secure. Having come from a QuickBooks environment this is far more advanced and professional.

Love the ability for the employees in the field and in the office to share and enter data.

And the guilt I feel about not using everything it has to offer.

Inventory management was the best thing about this.

Every single visit is logged in their account and we know exactly what we did there and when we did it. Customer service is by far the best ever.

The combination of the styling and the specific business solution it provides would be what I like most about the software.

The Software is well-designed and visually fantastic which making it easy to find and access all the features and functionality we need to use.

We also pay Citrix and Successware to use the product. This system is terrible.

There is nothing that is good about this software. We work around and make it work best we can.

It took me several months to learn and get caught up entering everything. I am still correcting all the errors of entering information incorrectly.

I feel the program has a lot of buttons you need to press just to complete a task which make things very frustrating.

I like that we can handle so many parts of our business with this software, from invoicing to our customer database; a wide range of reports from equipment installed to job costing.

No titles to exported reports. I have asked for this for 4 years.

Since our parent company changed, Successware has been upgrading their software and making it more up-to-date. It is now user friendly, more efficient, upgrades are happening all the time.

Project management solution and nice system for project cost management, billing and workflow easy management product.

Effective dispatch and customer service solutions.

But still get frustrated when I have to change something.

Just about everything, but I know it's what I need to properly manage my company. This is literally one of the worst designed and most complex softwares I have ever used.

Not sure what the problem is. I am hardwired into the computer.

The best part about SW21, is unlike most other CRMs on the market, the accounting does not have to be exported into quickbooks.

I like the integration with SW Remote and the ability of my field employees to have access to customer history.

The only negative that I have is that there is not drill down/clickthrough options for reports.

I like how the dispatching and accounting are tied into together. It takes away having to do multiple steps and saves me time and time is money.

We have been with SW21 for 19 years and have been extremely pleased with the software performance and capabilities.
