Manager

Also the ability to display exact measurements and dimensions. Super helpful when needing something on the spot when talking with clients or coming up with a project scope.

Owner

The ability to draw simple floor plans was great. It was easy to do, and for the most part, had the shapes I needed.

Technology Integration Specialist

ArcSite is working seamlessly on our iPads and the company was great to provide training immediately after our purchase.

Consulting Engineer

It also tends to lag pretty badly when drawings become complex. It is also very difficult to draw an accurate ellipse, which is something I really need to be able to do.

consultant

Software is great, easy to use and perfect for onsite drawing of floor plans, etc.

Owner/ Managing Director

I would highly recommend to any contractor that needs to make there own simple designs that want them to look better than graph paper sketches.

Operations Manager

Being able to draw this in real time helps me when i am talking with customers regarding projects and what we can accomplish.

Vice President

ArcSite handles PDF mobile cad drawings possible in an elegant manner. The tool makes possible creation, editing, redlining of CAD quality drawings and integrates photos in an exceptional manner.

PRESIDENT 

My only complaint  is that you cant used on the PC to Draw when I'm in the office.

Sales manager 

I like how intuitive it is and simple to use and understand. I never got any formal training on how to learn the software since it was so easy to use.

President

This has definitely saved money and increased efficiency for us.

Quick and easy to master, great customer support.

Owner/Designer

It intuitively feels like designing from a blank sheet of paper but with features that allow you to quickly change and revise on the fly.

Inability to write DWG files directly into ArcSite.

Structural Engineer

I have found that the blocks must be scaled constantly and do not populate at the scale they were drawn in.

Business development 

ArcSite has been my main app for staircase take off and will remain so. Customer service is more than helpful and provides great support.

Planner

While I would recommend ArcSite for someone in construction to try, I don't know if it is the best tool for planners and I'm not sure if I would renew my subscription.

Exec Director

Primarily, I use it to map monuments in need of restoration or cleaning, as well as for landscaping issues and concerns. It is easy to upload the maps I need as base templates.

Floor Plan Creator

Visio

Easy to use and very readable for the customer.

Easy to Use and Easy to Read!

I use ArcSite all of the time to draw plans for building decks to additions and it’s really easy to use

Easy to use

Great experience. I am still learning functions daily but great overall.

Thank you. Work in progress for user. 

been great so far. I have enjoyed training others. Was easier than expected for the older crowd

Great experience

Really enjoy it and recommend to anyone that needs to draw buildings or spaces as part of their job.

Part time user but I love the results

Only had the chance to use it for floor plans so overall a Good app for drawing floor plans

Highly recommend 

I have previously reviewed Arcsite on Capterra, but am removing stars based on our recent experience.  At this overall performance level and price point, the app is a good, but no longer compelling value.

Still a good value, but unresolved bugs have us checking alternatives again

overall I like this program, the mobility aspect is very needed in my business and it creates a professional look for us to be able to send professional shop drawings to clients, as well as, auto cad compatible drawings for commercial projects and the drawings can be done up in just minutes in some cases

Arcsite pros and cons

Extremely satisfied customer.  Accurate and timely drawings to clients allow me to do more with my time. Platform makes it easy to create and deliver quality, professional drawings to clients and share with co-workers.

Intuitive drawing software

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the nice review. We have some great new stuff coming. I will reach out.

Time savings and ease of sharing plans through a mobile device. The software allows for communication of drawings in real-time which can save time and money but also ease frustrations of work or verbal communication. A drawing is worth a thousand words...

ArcSite makes PDF functionality in several ways possible in Mobile environment

CAD for non-CAD users

Going into customer meetings for new fire and security systems with no drawings has always been a challenge. Using pen and paper was our only option. Trying other "drawing apps", I found them to be very limited in what they offered.
However, with Arcsite, this blew the competition out of the water in terms of shear versatility and functionality. I was able to create drawings either from importing PDFs, taking a photo, or even drawing them myself. The integration and support offered by Arcsite really enabled us to integrate our own fire and security device symbols into the app to allow me to effectively mark up drawings with devices whilst walking site, thus saving lots of time.
The addition of allowing embedded photos into the drawings is a massive help, as it really allows for additional information to be captured which often is too difficult to just put into words.

Leagues ahead of anything else I used

Hi John,

Thanks for the review. I will reach out to you to make sure you are aware of a few things to make the tool more performant.

Thanks,
Patrick

Accuracy of information going to design engineer has doubled... it's been very helpful to help customers visualize the end product as well.

Very useful for site survey information, I use almost every day!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the review. Glad you are getting value out of the tool.

Thanks for the con list too, we always want to know how to do better.

Both business and life benefits. I use this for work and I use this for home building projects.

Excellent for our business and our lives. Wonderful customer support too!

We are way more efficient with the use of this app. We are more accurate, faster and efficient with our time.

Love the App and the Support

ArcSite has given us the ability to create beautiful, quality, custom bids for the work we do on our customers home that is unparalleled. The amount of professionalism detail in our bids has increased our closing rate. We love arcsite!

Professional Custom Bids!

I enjoyed using the software, and I would love to continue using it. However, the costs were a hurdle that made it hard to justify compared to other sketching software. 

Excellent drawing software for floorplans and building sketches.

See comments above - the software is excellent overall - it just needs some tweaks. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk about additional feedback. Jonathan - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Feature expansion

This software has been a great tool for us in home insurance inspections!  We start with an aerial photo from Google Maps and are able to incorporate drawings and photos to effectively tell the story of the property. 

ArcSite is a great tool for property inspections!

Really like the app, works great for me.

We’ve reduced double-handling of drawings, improved accuracy of on-site quotations, improved quality of initial design sketches for clients, and seen a reduction to our overhead.

User friendly and great customer support

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the note here and your business. I will reach out soon with some of the new work we have completed.

Suits 89% of my need

Hi Stuart,

Nice to hear from you. Let's get together and see if we can solve those issues for you.

I will reach out.

Thanks,
Patrick

The ability to draw simple floor plans was great.  It was easy to do, and for the most part, had the shapes I needed.  However, paying this much, every month, to simply draw a floor plan is ridiculous.  I work in construction as a foundation remediation expert and was looking for a simple solution to draw the outline of a building with the interior walls in some cases, add some dimensions and some simple shapes and text indicating areas to where more attention needs to be given.  Unfortunately there aren't any out there for that with grid lines and dimensions.  I tried this product, it was great for a little while but the cost just ate away at my wallet every month.  I would not pay more than $3/month for an app like this for what I use it for.  I would pay $30 outright for one though.  Perhaps I will develop one myself to fit the needs of those like me?  (I have a degree in IT and am familiar with programming so wouldn't really be that hard..)

Good product, but expensive for a drawing app

more organization and cleaner drawings witch improves communications and understanding in the job.

This has made my measuring on site very helpful and keeps things organized 

Hi Marvin,

Just saw your review here. Glad to hear you are getting value out of it. I will reach out to you folks in mass, as it appears there are similar enhancement requests. 

We really do appreciate the feedback/insight. 

Regards,
Patrick
