Viewpoint Team vs Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate Comparison

If you're looking for something to help manage your construction needs, look no further. This software helps you track budgets quickly and easily. It also digitalizes your field so that you have a better understanding of the layout you are working with.

Didn't use it long enough to find any cons.

Great features, supports collaboration, ideal for construction industries. I would definitely use it in my projects.

Lots of option available in the competitive software market. Without brand marketing, I am not sure if this product would stand out.

When it comes to Construction and Project Management, I haven't found another software that could do more and offer more features than this one.

In the beginning, It had so many features I was getting confused with some of the icons until I truly sat down and learned how to use it.

Covers almost all aspects needed in the construction industry Highly customizable Easy to create custom reports Database isn't locked down

Viewpoint will find every way possible to charge you for support They have a bad habit of pushing out updates without thoroughly testing them

Viewpoint for Projects has good layout and organizing functions. A lot of options available for security of various files and documentation processes.

It is very cumbersome, difficult to up load and view files. No thumbnail options for viewing pictures make it difficult to preview photos before selecting them to add comments to etc. The internet link is always slow, creating issues with their desktop app and opening and saving files. Also not compatible with AutoCAD or current design software. Not practical for construction documentation management.

I like that you can see your projects in real time

Nothing that I've noticed so far with this software

Very precise and good financially. Drill down reports are extremely beneficial. It is super helpful to tract costs and collaborates well with heavy bid.

Not user friendly at all and needs what seems to be a good amount of work in order to create good, clean, and professional looking documents for businesses.

I like the ease of use and how handy it with PDF markups and things

that it is slow to turn pages and things . while using it.

the ease of input and attachment along with itemized sections for input

Need to have a specific Safety Section and photo section for progress documentation

The product has come a long way since the original version that just produced submittals. The integration for creating projects in TEAM directly from Vista has so far been seemless. Getting dashboard job cost information from Vista has also been a well received feature. Being able to tag markups on drawings and create Issues on the fly is also a great tool.

TEAM has the potential to be great. There are other very similar products on the market that much stronger feature set. No reason TEAM couldn't easily step up to their level, especially now that Trimble is the owner. It was a very hard decision for us, do we go with Procore and get all the features we need now, but at a higher price and buggy integration, or do we go with TEAM, which has an excellent integration and is cost effective and hope that one day they complete the package. We chose to wait it out with TEAM.

One of my favorite applications to use to get my co-workers opinions

I have nothing bad to say about this application very straight to the point and easy to use

We've been using Team for over a year now for RFIs, submittals and daily reports. As a project manager/project engineer for the general contractor, I think Team is a huge improvement from using Vista in the past. We have several subcontractors that are uploading submittals and inputting RFIs directly into Team, but I've found that most subs will still use email to transmit these documents. Even if...

Submittal and RFI markups cannot be made directly in Team. The submittal or RFI must be downloaded to Bluebeam, edited/marked up with review comments or responses, and then uploaded to Team again. It would be helpful to have editing features in Team so there isn't an extra step.

accounting and document management reports

too much functionality/too many reports (software needs to be modified to cater to company's needs) "double-clicking" and scrolling not user friendly

It's very sufficient very easy to use can be frustrating from time to time and the main menu tends the lag

Takes up a ton of data and a lot of storage on my phone to keep could have a little better organized main menu

This is one of the most important apps I have ever used not only does it not take long but the money goes to your account with in just a few days

I have yet to find anything wrong with this app. It's got so many cool things about it I don't think I can say anything bad.

I love the mobile app and look forward to your additional modules.

As a past PM, VP is not very easy to navigate

The money comes from just downloading an app on my phone. I was just paid last night for one and have another payment pending.

Not a lot of settings, information or options are available for research on the app. Would love to read more about it.

I found that using viewpoint team has made my everyday business tools much easier to maintain

I have only been using viewpoint team for a short period of time now so there isn't any negative I have came across yet.

easy of printing checks, enrolling employees and pushing it into payroll or Hr module easily.Ease of use and integration between modules and with other applications. We use several other products that we import from and export to.

current reports leave out a lot of necessary data, crystal reports not customized.Lack of strong financial statement writer. Currently using FRx . . . we know that we need to move, but haven't found anything that is as flexible. We cannot get good cost analyst report on equipment use.

Submittal and RFI modules make it very easy to upload and track the information.

I do not have the ability to select multiple people from contacts to send out a mass email. I also do not have the ability to notify individuals on a project when an urgent document (such as an addendum) is uploaded or changed.

I like that you are able to earn by completing simple tasks! Some tasks include recording multiple simple phrases, analyzing information, etc!

Some cons to this product are that when you want to cashout, they only give you one option which is direct to your paypal. Another thing is that it takes up to 10 days for you to receive the payment & could take even longer.

I am just so impressed by all the features included: materials and service management, finances for each job, and organizing equipment rental. This app has it all!

Because there is so much data to consider, I would recommend using this app with an iPad not necessarily the best for using on a smartphone.

This product is helpful with tasks and other issues
