Very easy to get around in. Love that it is Windows-based.

We are still entering some data in both systems which is somewhat frustrating.

What I like best about this product is that it is pretty intuitive to use.

I have problems when a union employee works in another area and the result is a confusing report.

Their customer service is very responsive to our needs.

It's able to capture everything with one software product. It has great payroll processing features and great customer service, with a true understanding of construction accounting.

We have developed a very good relationship with PENTA and feel like they are always working on new enhancements to the software that will help us be more successful.

This is extremely important to us because it provides  an immediate picture of job cost and profitability of the project.

The accounting and job cost system is rock solid.

Overall, I think Penta is an excellent company with great people, and hopefully we will see more progress on the integration of Operation functions soon.

The vendor was extremely helpful when we transitioned from our old system to our PENTA one. They are professional and easy to work with.

Whether you're using Hyper-V or VMWare. This product should be virtualized for business continuity and disaster recovery.

PENTA's accounting package is fully integrated with all modules: job cost, payroll, fixed assets, accounts receivable, accounts payable, etc.

Make sure you a have fully documented your functional requirements and key process flows prior to any software selection.

Our auditors have noticed a marked improvement in the quality of our data as well as the speed in which we answer their questions.

The thing I like the best is the ease of use in producing rapid checks.

Performance and latency. No cloud-based version yet.

The dates are inconsistent, which is frustrating to the users.

Overall, PENTA does what we need it to do. It isn't sleek and sexy like other software, but their support staff is always available if we have any concerns.

They have done a great job helping us use the software better.

The area which I feel is still behind where I would like them to be is Operations integration.

I like the ease of use, flexibility, and knowing that the support team is there to help me.

I like the software's ability to do Project Accounting and Labor Distribution. I like the fact that the vendor is smaller, so you get more personalized service (your not just a number to them).

I dislike the effort it takes to switch projects views, that I can't have the option to permanently pin the folder tree to my toolbar.

We could zoom into construction blueprints & docs which has good clarity. What appealed to us the most is that we worked from the jobsite and all team members were on the same page.

It is very easy to upload, manage and send files to clients and subcontractors. It is also awesome that it OCR's plans and specs for you.

This has to be the absolute worst plan sharing software I have ever had the displeasure to use.

You cannot copy and paste a hyperlink shape or destination. It is time-consuming and annoying to link documents together.

I like the ability to be sift through different projects from the one tab at the top quickly and easily.

Skysite is easy to navigate and easy to use to share construction drawings with others.

Has delayed adding content and fixing errors. Rather cumbersome learning curve for users especially learning all functions of skysite.

I like that in theory, you can share all your plans with the subcontractors.

When you leave a message for a support agent, someone typically gets back to you quickly and the customer service people are friendly and helpful. They seem receptive to constructive feedback.

The document management and the ability to upload and save different file types are great. We received training very promptly from the local Skysite customer service staff.

I dislike the search or filter feature that it doesn't retrieve documents efficiently or sort them by relevance and hard for users to search.

I have used this site for two projects and have had great success.

Vendor was quick in opening an account for us. They set up a monthly billing process and did not ask for a credit card.

SKYSITE has a very simple & user friendly interface which made it easy for us to use. What we particularly liked was that it helped us to upload and download all documents with an excellent speed.

Once uploaded, it can't be moved and is very cumbersome if you make a mistake. When dealing with plans over 500 pages, the system bogs down and hard to send links easily.

This software comes with features like auto-sync, auto-hyperlink, and powerful search helped me take over a number of document management task with absolute ease.

I like being able to save downloaded files to staff's email or other internal folders. All fields feature allow me to search by various fields.

Some of our contractors have had trouble getting into the link and call us. We have forwarded them to your IT dept.

The worst thing about this software is that, the desktop synchronization app does not keep plans updated, The mobile phone app is useless.
