Pros

Cloud storage and collaboration with other members of the team is great. Easy and simple to use with great customer service that will walk you through how to use the software.
It helps me determine if my painters are using too much in materials and gives me a good idea if I have material theft on the project. It also helps me budget better.
The best thing about this software is the ease of use and the customization of takeoffs you can do. Other takeoff programs don't allow you to just take off the simple items like this does.

Pros

Esticom has been great, there is some room for improvement and i would love to help collaborate with them.
My overall experience with Esticom has been wonderful. Having a tool that is so easy to use has let us focus more on how to improve our estimating rather than on how to use our software.
Additionally, Esticom's team is fantastic about working directly with you to make the software suitable for your project type.

Cons

Some of the preset names for materials are not what our suppliers/vendors call them. This makes it confusing for anyone new to the trade and you are unable to rename the preset names.
The only Con is you are charged by user. If you have a single account Only one person can be logged on.
I can't determine if its the software or the hardware of my laptop, but when I use it I find that the documents/image lags on medium to large files.

Cons

There are a few functions missing that would make it easier for us to use. One is the lack of a linear with drop only at the ends of the run.
There are not many icons for the fire protection industry I work in. This makes it difficult when creating mocked up drawings for the customer.
The only complaint that I have had so far, is regarding not being able to duplicate (copy and paste) items to another page.
