Pros

Overall it is a great system, they have an awesome trainer that will work with you until you got it. Customer service is also real helpful.
I have been using ProEst for the last year and have for the most part been very happy. The customer support has been very good.
However, if you like you can use simple unit takeoffs and apply a cost to them later. Proest can be as complex or as simple as you'd like for it to be and for the money, it's a pretty good program.

Pros

They take all the wish list from users and continue to improve which is awesome knowing it will grow as we grow.
Hands down the best product I have ever used. Their technical support is beyond the best that I have ever encountered in any product.
My overall experience with Buildxact is great. Estimates are Professional and build confidence in your clients.

Cons

Occasionally when trying to switch between estimates or screens I inadvertently will hit the close window button which closes the program. On bad days this can really raise your blood pressure.
Terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it.
I do have one complaint which may seem petty, but it is an annoyance.

Cons

Inability to adjust purchase orders once created (need to delete and go again). Not having a take off tool once the job goes past estimate stage.
Could have smoother transition between estimate and invoice. Should be in same drop down box.
I spend less time in the office and more time on the tools and having a clod beer after a hard day.
