Cons

“There are a lot of capabilities within the software, but some functions and workflows are not particularly intuitive, especially when you are trying to accomplish something outside of the more basic estimating process.”

“Working with large, complicated commercial roofing estimates can also become cumbersome, particularly when you need to make widespread changes or review a large amount of information.”

Nick C.
