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The software is at least a decade out of date when compared to any other industry standard take-off software.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

The user interface is a lot easier. Uploading files and adding clients/team members is significantly better.

Also, the client portal will be helpful. They have been very helpful in trying to help us get the software integrated into our business.

I like how the software is very easy to use. I have not been on the team long, but have been able to quickly catch up because of how simple and effortless it can be to run a project.

The Most Useful and Efficient Construction Software.

Don't really have any dislikes. My only complaint is that I waited too long to do the integration between my software programs.

What I like most about the UDA software is that it Is exceptionally easy to use.

We heard that the customer service was good, and even at this early implementation stage, we have found it to be exceptional.

Customer service is crap. Features break down all the time and they are no help at getting them fixed.

I am setting it up to integrate properly with our Quickbooks software through the Socket function, and I really enjoy how the two connect.

If this warning could pop up every time, I wouldn't need to then re-scroll down to the files I just added and delete duplicates.

I really appreciate that effort of developers to make this product PERFECT.

We had fraud on our account so our card was blocked and our account suspended. We called our rep and gave her our new card number and she put us back in business.

This is a great product, very good customer service.

Take time to figure out what you need, where you are struggling, and where your current set up is failing you. Try to put a dollar value on that.

I can put in a invoice for a job, and then my other two coworkers can look at it when they have time. Win was super helpful with me yesterday.

The product support and moreso, the absolute professionalism and kindness of your Product Specialist, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN.

Will keep using it and see. If i had to choose something it would be the lack of customizability of the job reporting forms.

I like the integration capabilities with Quickbooks, it's very easy to use. I also really enjoy the estimate templates and cost code set up.

My experience is great due to the product and, in part with the amazing customer service, second to none.

This makes the likelihood of proper use by our guys in the field highly unlikely, which could be worse than if we don't use GamePlan at all.

They're honest and want to build true win win relationships. All my reps have all been fantastic.

The software is easy to use and easy to customize. The total care package is really nice, very impressive,  you won't get disappointed.

They are very easy to customize and make to fit your company needs.
