Viewpoint For Projects Reviews

Viewpoint is generally easy to use and navigate and has a great many useful functions. I've been an administrator for 7 years and even now I find things here and there that make my job so much easier. I like being able to share current information quickly with users and external parties and I appreciate having the email function so that I can get documents uploaded quickly to the correct place.

There are some issues with things going on in the background and are taking some time to rectify but they generally don't impact our customers too much.

Primary and secondary file format, 3D Model Viewer, COBie generator, naming convention deployment (and that it can be enforced). We use public links a lot as well and it is very useful as well as the virtual containers. Customer service is excellent. They respond quickly and are usually very knowledgeable.

The look and feel of the software is a bit outdated. I like that it's highly customisable (settings), but that's a downfall as well, it can get complicated to control access and security settings. It would be great if VFP would allow using projects and templates. Instead every time we create a new project, we have to re-build the folder structure and the main settings. User guides could be updated.

available from anywhere, usually reasonably quick, support staff are fast at responding, even if the answer is not always what i would expect

workflows are clunky at best, non dynamic, live revise is slow, buggy and unreliable, unable to digitally sign documents within adobe, we use a roundabout way to markup docs with signature, but it is not very user friendly

The workflow editor makes it easy to design a workflow that suits our business and specific projects.

Despite being quick and easy to run reports, sometimes all the fields aren't available to be shown in the report e.g. the "Short Code (Revision):" field can not be added to reports despite requesting this through V4P Support

The Ease of uploading documents; easy for version control and inserting document name

Dashboard - require Viewpoint/Trimble to provide more user friendly Dashboards and Reports so that the Construction Management team can use on daily basis

The ease of sumitting information for approval, the ability to supersede documents. Navigating the folder architecture is very straight forward.

Notifications. whilst these are actually important it would be useful for third party users to be able to customise the flow of transmittals. Particular when using the platform for multiple projects this can end up bombarding one's inbox.

Ease of use and the amount of features. Definitely a one stop shop for all construction-based document controlling.

The interface can be a bit clunky, at times. Something a little more user friendly would've helped me when initially learning the software.

Structure and navigation is logical and easy to understand. Workflow system and drawing stamping is invaluable for on-site project team.

Lack of preview available for drawings. Being able to see a thumbnail would be extremely useful for navigation and finding information.

I like the strucre and easy to use, security and users creation unlimited

the signiture and marking need to be developed and lonked with 3rd party codument siginnig

Easy access and capabilities of shearing documents

notifications and alerts, in my opinion i think is to may of notification and alerts.

The configurability of the product allows any business to design the product to meet the needs of the business rather than trying to fit the business to use the product.

The interface is very dated at present but changes are on the way to make it look and feel more up to date

ive been using Viewpoint since 2015 and this is the 3rd civils project in a row ive been using it. I feel for document control

if 1no file fails to load in a revision, it can sometimes mess up the revision and need to all be resubmitted i also find that the search feature can be difficult to navigate large file structures

I many features included in this software on a daily basis, all elements of which are easy to use/understand. I don't know what we'd do without it.

Once you know the software and how it works, the navigation process is very easy but I think it would be helpful if navigation was made slightly easier for those who are unfamiliar with it.

I can easily find and access the document I need. Readily available even when I'm worker remotely. It's user friendly software.

I have not maximized my usage of the software yet, but so far it does not disappointed me yet.

Easy to access, easy to use, learn and teach, quick to use when functioning, uploads made easier

Not many aspects hard to use but maintenance and system being slow occurs occasionally, no other issues or faults.

Workflows are very useful to ensure reviews are carried out

Permissions can lead to problems and cause bugs in the workflow

Search documents easily. Upload comments and see revisions of each item

Due dates for re submission of safety documents. Every 3 months maximum

It is user friendly, provide ability to track required information.

All good. Perhaps speed and spread of information can be improved.

I like how there is a chronological path and changes can be tracked.

smoother interface, would like it to be slightly less clunky.

good software, easy to use and good graphics

delays in receiving updated drawings on the software

The ability to share information on an easy to use platform, with a clear and concise way to upload and download what you need.

The way some projects have been set out on viewpoint can be an issue, but this is mainly with those uploading the projects, not the software itself. Viewpoint having a standardised project setup may be a useful feature to implement in future.

Easy to find drawings. easy to share drawings.

when extracting documents it add x 2

Generally easy to use and share content, project overview also very helpful

The only real issue we had was from a user bias not programme related.

Ease of use of general features and the customer support is very good.

No many updates over the years to bring it up to date with other system that are available in today market.

it helps store documents that are then accessible

the notification section to advise people of items to upload is poor as it is out of view when you tick this and you have to be aware that you have to scroll up
