The ability for new users to easily operate around the software without requiring hours of learning how the software works.
speed and display of the software on other applications i.e. on an i phone or i pad. It works but not as well as on a PC/Mac

The best practices in the documentary field for my daily job.
Document management is a key aspect for the efficiency and productivity of organizations and ACONEX has been fundamental for the magnitude of the project in which I currently work. Aconex fully complies with internal needs and also allows the organization to be up-to-date with ISO 30300 and the best practices in the documentary field. Documentary management how "the strategies, tools and methods used to capture, organize, store, preserve and disseminate content and documents related to organizational processes, is much easier to achieve with the vital support generated by having Aconex with this tool .
It is difficult for me to trace - match the documents to each other for topics. While there is a chance to download spredsheets, the is quite limit the report, could be better considering something like dashboard or something similar for all the categories of the documents.

Saves Time flexible input methods easy to understand easy to train new users unlimited uploads
Flexibility and convenient to use. I am using Aconex for over 8 years I found it is very flexible and convenient . when ever I faced issues I get immediate help and guidance from Customer Support
Initially I faced issues . I don't remember what kind of issues. I remember calling the customer support they mentioned there is limitation for that particular request I asked for.

best for traceability and sharing of large files. Very good customer support and works well with Aconex Field. Customizable
Requires other parties to create accounts. Not required for small projects .

It has most, if not all, functionalities that all relevant project teams require for day-to-day communication and running of project.
Sometimes the search engine for documents is not very smart. For eg., by entering key words/characters or asterisk (wild card), it still doesn't throw up specific results. This occasionally applies to mail searches also.

This system is perfect for connecting and sharing information with multiple people for large construction projects.
Although it is not intuitive, it is easy to learn the system and to quickly maximize all of the features it has to offer.

I found Aconex to be quite functional and easy to access. It's workflow and document control systems were quite robust. I particularly liked Aconex Field. It is a punch list or snag list tool that uses QR Codes to ID building area, smart phones and tablets to take pictures that you can annotate by drawing on the picture with your finger, and then assign it to a company or even and individual. Great, easy to use product.
Incredibly robust and adaptable to any situation
The very robustness makes it time consuming to change for different approval processes.

Sharing, submitting and saving documents
The most i like is sending notification for any update about documents submitted, instead of searching for response.
I can't search by document type, such as travel application or invoice, i have to enter document number

I find the software to be very user friendly and the Workflow module is great for our Design Reviews.
I would like it have an auto pick up for the names when entering given the same ones get used often rather than entering the letters then enter then doing the same all over again for several recipients

- Use from start to finish on the project - Control of tendering module - Clear document review process under the workflow module - Mail correspondence can be controlled under mail types - Continual document register automatically updated on document transmittal
Users have the ability to create a project from the tender phase through the the completion of the project. There is the ability to create tenders, coordinate correspondence, share and store documentation, and defect management.
Difficult in getting subcontractors to sign up for a user account. There are also issues for project administrators having the ability to remove temporary / users no longer involved in the project. The mobile app is difficult to use.

Complete construction project document and messaging management
Very thorough, one-stop-shop for email, document management and defects management. Web interface ensures no need for installation on computers.
The interface can be hard to navigate for some people. Standardising and formatting for messages is difficult. The need to refresh the document search after superseding has led to old drawings being reissued from our company and other consultants.

The search engine for email and for documents are very usefull, the ability of following the history of email is great.
In the document tab, you have to click on the type of file icon and not on the title of the document to access it.

With automated workflows, I am no longer manually routing documents for review, leaving more time for other tasks.
I like the multitude of options it provides at a faster speed than most document control software available.
I least like that there is no out of office function. If someone is on vacation, there is not an automated way to divert any workflows sent to them at that time. If someone leaves the project, there is not an automated way to remove them from existing workflows. I have found work arounds.

The main advantages are the improvements in the control of communications and documents: Version Control Transmission Control Workflows Control
Document labelling is very unflexible. A desktop application for Document Controllers might be a good idea.

easy of finding information for any document or workflow I look for, zip download is easy too to download all files together.
- The relation between documents and workflows is not practical, you should copy the link or text from documents and go to workflows to find information, there should be a way to do that automatically. - If I'm not in the workflow and want to download documents, there is no way except going to the original mail.

From any place or at any time I can access and follow up the project progress, Very easy to know the history of the project related to any complex issues, Accessability to any dedicated topics or official documents.
Customization need to be more effective for different types of project, after sale services need more enhancements.

All the tools at your disposal for managing a big project. Search Engine is a great tool for finding documents required on a project
A little bit complicated to understand at the beginning, but get's easier with frequent use of the software.

Easy to search for the required information by typing the key words, easy to download the documents.
The historical email with same topic overlapped and a little bit difficult to search for the specific one.

In recent months my experience has been extremely negative. Each day I experience issues regarding speed and errors when trying to do basic tasks like open a correspondence, or upload files. I really would like to use it more because it is a great platform for keeping track of open tasks and correspondence between consultants, but the speed and performance is suffocating.
Good for tracking correspondence and open tasks.
Terrible performance - seriously hinders productivity during the day. Uploading files, loading correspondences and workflows load at snails pace and always unpredictable.

Easy to communicate and as reference.
Easy to understand. Easy to use. All is there, just type keyword, can easily find the related records.
Cannot open the new tab for references (sometimes, would like to send correspondence/report to the same recipient)

Overall it got the job done however our experiences with other products have been more enjoyable.

The inability to change functions to that they function more suitably for our business/inability to edit things.

I like most the Quality, the Support and the ease of use of ACONEX compared to other Document Management Systems. (Thinkproject, ...)
It would be very helpful to have a German edition and a German support for German organizations like Siemens.

All documents in one place and easy access and stakeholder communication. Adding people to the project is a good feature.
Some features are hard/time-consuming to use, for example attaching files - each file has to be attached individually.
