General Office Manager

With my role as the general office manager who mainly works in the marketing and customer service department, I use Leap CRM on a daily basis to track leads, set up appointments, capture client records/notes and keep track of analytics.

Owner

They make you call them and speak with them directly (extremely difficult to reach them via phone, email or their online chat) to get rid of users. If you don’t know to do this (they won’t tell you outside of fine print), and simply delete one or more of your users yourself without reaching someone to officially request that they also delete the “license”, they’ll just continue charging you without letting you know.

BILLING CLERK

In a world where we are so busy its nice to have this program to keep the pace and monitor job status.

OWNER OPERATOR

Paid an additional 4 months due to "contract obligation" and they STILL charged an additional month even after putting in writing.  

Systems Admin

I've learned from a fantastic team, been able to merge several of our tools into Leap thusly saving us money and time, and continue to find ways to improve upon every part of our current setup.  

VP of Sales

The price hike became 3x what I used to pay and they forced me to pay it for two months despite my never agreeing to this price adjustment citing their 60 day written notice stipulation.

What was once an invaluable tool for estimating and CRM has become overpriced and riddled with unnecessary changes that only benefit the company, not its users.

President

It use to be an affordable customer service platform that did the job

Worse, the company enforces a ridiculous 60-day written cancellation policy, yet they implemented the rate increase immediately.

Administrator

We had very little training to start and took forever to get things up and going

Manager

The search engine is to be desired and the forms formatting really should be updated for formatting and design-

Marketing Director

How reporting pulls the data, I have to often create my own to get more accurate reporting.

After that they raised rates 125% and do not want to cancel my subscription as requested multiple times.

Project Engineer

The company refused any sort of reimbursement, for the 6+ months we paid for the software and were unable to use it due to their own customer service negligence.  

Customization options, user friendly dashboard, amazing service from support team ([sensitive content hidden] are fantastic!)

It needs more updating, too much new stuff for older employees to navigate

The most difficult and non user friendly CRM I have ever had to us.

Rough in beginning, took 3-4 month to fix QuickBooks sync issue.

Director of Operations

We have been with Leap since 2018 and it has made our sales process so simple a toddler could use it.

It's ease of use for my reps and the ability to get quick help from Leap's staff, if and when needed.

It controls the sales process, training, and profit margins

I liked it before it was bought out - the original version called Job Progress was a better solution.

Vice President

Everything you do relates to something else in the CRM so it is all important.   Once you understand the integration and support- it all makes sense and is easy to use.  

It took me months of constant requests for assistance, before we finally cancelled altogether.

There are much better and more affordable tools available for contractors.

Look elsewhere for tools that respect their customers and offer real value.

Deceptive and virtually impossible to cancel your subscription.

With this rate increase, they’ve priced themselves out of being competitive.

The data that can be retrieved and utilized is amazing!  

Great! Once setup and deployed there is minimum maintenance needed.

General Manager

The financial side of the program are in depth.  

Corporate Trainer

Their service and support staff are amazing.  

Genral Manager

Been trying to cancel for weeks and they refuse to cancel even though you never are presented with a contract/agreement.

supervisor

it has a multi user interface which helps all the team members involve in a project to contribute their actions positively and also it helps to track the progress of any project at anytime.

Customer Success Manager 

The calendar says it has a 2 way sync with Google but its been broken for as long as I have used the system (over a year), the reporting functions within the system are very poor and half the time when you set filters for the reports (the same filters) you get different information, the activity feed does not capture everything that happens on a job/ with a customer and its leave the user questioning how certain things on a file were done/ by whom.

sales

It is very pricey for start-up companies.

Application Support Analyst

It cannot connect or read data from our company database

Planning and project control engineer

With JobProgress we got rid of all that, as all the members of the work team enter all the project's belongings from pictures, drawings, requests for materials, etc.

administrator

the application closes while I am in the middle of an operation, and while I wait for the system to save the last generated information, it hangs sometimes and I have to start all over again.

We asked them to make some changes to improve the system, and they did it in a very short time, which was very beneficial for us since we did not have to cancel any operations.

Business Development 

It has so many flaws -the email load chain is obnoxious, emails get lost or never received, there are too many steps to do simple tasks, the custom contracts are not readable to the finance portion, estimates can not be converted to contracts, the calendar has never synced properly,  it’s hard to access closed jobs if archived, pictures take forever to load through the app, there are too many options on the system that don’t pertain to our industry (pool business)

This system connected with Quickbooks projects as we needed, had great customer service, was able to be adjusted around for our flow of business, and had document creation, electronic acceptances, and storage.

Operations Coordinator

The lack of a grid-type work center that allows for filtering and reporting on all data fields and tables at once , and the slow refresh of data.  

Managing Electrician

The time tracking feature is basically useless because the only thing you can do is literally clock in and out of a certain job. If you forget to clock in at a specific time the whole day is ruined so you have to continue to have another system for time tracking for payroll - Which is annoying for something that should be a one stop app for everything.

I’m a design specialist and my job entails me drawing full footprint for homes and concrete in order to bid jobs and the software has made it very simple and easy to complete my job while looking very professional for customers.

Sales Manager

Until you learn where you need to start drawing your design when you enter in certain size changes it can auto modify connecting sections.

Business owner

Needs more basic graphics for basic line diagrams for electrical trade, has great electronics but not electrical

Sales Consultant

Hard to size and rotate doors to create the hinging swing.

Sales consultant

Sometimes it crashes but you don’t lose everything due to auto saves to the cloud.

Carpenter

Only had the chance to use it for floor plans so overall a Good app for drawing floor plans

I use ArcSite all of the time to draw plans for building decks to additions and it’s really easy to use

California Certified Asbestos Consultant

Also during the trial, the ArcSite walked me through and answered all my questions promptly.

Home layout is easy to draw and add windows and doors.

Certified Field Inspector

The layering really gives me room to quickly show differences.

I have introduced all my colleagues and our Business owners in my industry to

Doesn’t take long to learn the basic features and with a little effort and the help options it is fairly easy to use the more advanced features as well.

Makes drawing buildings/room spaces quick and easy once you learn how to use it.

Processor

Field Inspector

Calibration tool should only recalibrate the current project.  

Really enjoy it and recommend to anyone that needs to draw buildings or spaces as part of their job.

Great results presenting inspection results to clients

Estimator Surveyor

Adding some of the hardware devices at times.

Certified Structural Technician

Changes made without advance notice, would be helpful to have previous communication.

Operations Lead

We have been using ArcSite for years now, and I have the utmost respect for the company, they truly want to help the customer/user be successful.

Very simple to use, it makes creating our drawings simple and professional.

Estimator

At first it can be a little confusing but if you start playing around it’s super easy to get the hang of.

Ease of use and the support ArcSite provides once you run into any issues.

Makes everything you do professional and it is very customizable!

They are extremely supportive and willing to accommodate your specific needs.

I have been using this program for many years, and it makes my job easier.

Easily customized but not complicated to do so.  

I am still learning functions daily but great overall.

Was easier than expected for the older crowd

Easy to use and very readable for the customer.

Web Developer

ArcSite has given us the ability to create beautiful, quality, custom bids for the work we do on our customers home that is unparalleled.

Surveyor

The most severe issues are the lack of a default tangency when drawing a curve from the end of a line, arrays adhering to the grid (instead of a line), the error encountered when attempting to edit arc/curve data, the inability to apply text to a curve or color outside of a closed figure, the lack of an eraser (huge fault), and probably the most lacking of all is the absence of the tap feature on the ($129) Apple Pencil.

I have also been able to draft quick, and simple ideas for clients to see potential changes by “erasing” parts of the underlying pdf through the use of shapes and showing that what could be different.

ArcSite has been a wonderful tool for me while performing site visits dealing with renovations and in doing structural evaluations that require a lot of photo documentation.  

I like most is to take photos as annotation in the drawing so that I can easily relate the photos to the photo location.

My budget for design software is small and mainly for hobby use so if for instance Fusion 360 was available for iPad I would cancel all other software.

With limitless palette size, saved shapes, colors and snap-to lines, my notes have improved exponentially...

Being able to review proposals while estimators are onsite has reduced our repeat visits to provide estimates.  

Also, placing predefined blocks in the drawing can be challenging if you need them to snap to a specific point.  

Director of Theatre

A beginner can feel empowered and a person with tons of experience with other CAD experience will find that it is flexible enough for most of their day to day needs.
