Asite Reviews

All file are send to other companies are secured. No issues has been encountered in our daily routine communication with other company.

The most least i like is the zooming in and out. You can not used the mouse (scrolling to enlarge) instead used the plus and minus zooming.

We're a construction company, so we use A-site as an information distribution website across our construction site teams and external consultants alike. I like the ease of setting up colleagues & distributing to multiple members of the site team and their ease of access. I believe that uploading drawings and superseding is very simple and the amount of information you can put onto the site when setting...

It can be quite complicated to set up new projects and sometimes the drawing uploader crashes. On some occasions, drawings have not uploaded at all. frustrating. Additionally, the build of the site with classic view and Adoddle 17 view is rather frustrating, as the classic view looks very dated - I believe steps should be made to incorporate the old style database into a new website - or at least revamp it. If you hadn't had any training on A-site or not taken the time to navigate you would get lost easily and make mistakes. Luckily I am well versed in classic view now so I find it relatively easy to follow.

It's better than Asite Classic. The site is generally fast-loading.

Some parts of the site load very slowly (forms etc). It's unituitive; you never know quite which tab to look for something, so takes longer than it should to get used to the system. Workspaces are OK but there are key features missing (e.g. why can't I easily see which users have access to a file?). The BIM Common Data Environment is not bad, but feels hacked together (for example, when I add a new...

User Interface has massively improved. Good powerful filtering and great control of distribution and edit privileges. Dashboard has been added, and workflow tasks helps to identify nee items for your attention with ease.

The search functionality is frankly rubbish. You have to know the structure of the project A-Site Adoddle quite well to have a good chance of finding the correct document. The site has quite regular downtime for updates. This could probably be streamlined into fewer update released, but at least they happen in the middle of the night most of the time.

Saved searches are good could be improved by allowing users to set the content of the search too as a quick link, Adoddle view is intuitive but you have to stop looking at the document to perform any actions on it (all the right click on the search result actions would be handy), also would be really good to be able to write comments in the panel on the left with the document view open . Being able to see the document history is good but perhaps could be improved with filters (dont' always need to know when anyone has ever read the document)

Email notification summary isn't particularly useful, could perhaps be a grid with required/Overdue on one axis and action type on the other? If I have an action to review its much more important than 'For Information'

Folder structures work well, I can drill down to narrow my search should I require. in addition I can easily download

slow, clunky, but mostly the screen that tells you there are no forms to view in a folder-it doesn't tell you if there really isn't any forms or if your profile doesn't have access

Files can be indexed and are easy to search. Multiple versions and revisions are easy to find and compare.

Further work is needed on outputting of reports. Whilst the inbuilt systems give an overview in order to produce meaningful reports you need to extract the data and use external systems.

The ability to share comments and track drawing and design progress using an online platformis great. We regularly go back and forth within the design team to create and design the best overall solution for the client. The ability to comment within minutes of a drawing being uploaded is exteremely useful.

The file viewing applet can sometimes take time to load but works well with patience. Sometimes when downloading files the QR code that is automatically applied to downloaded PDFs obscures details and text.

The software is user friendly and much improved in comparison with the classic version. When I need support it is provided quickly.

It doesn't meet all of our business needs and can sometimes be confusing for users due to the complexity of the different tabs.

Easy to navigate Provides ease of contract management Provides contractual forms for use throughout the contract

Needs to be implemented properly to have positive impact Sometimes difficult to locate items Search bar sometimes difficult to use properly

Very easy and quick to use once you have the know-how. It works in a very similar way to attaching a file to an email and sending it but of course, with it being a cloud system you're not limited to the file size you can upload and distribute.

Some of the functions are not user friendly. I say this simply because the training course is basically a self-help guide but once you get to grips with it, it's straight forward

fast. Convenient. Easy to use. The upload options are adequate and the options for configuring the system suit the business

RFI and tech subsection needs enhancement. Sharing/transmittal options needs more alternatives, eg if one member of the team views a document, then all member of the team (ie same company) have it as viewed. More attributes required in the RFI section and tech sub section. Options like to be able to stamp status of drawings or reply to RFI without need to start a discussion.

1. Its very user friendly 2. Easy to adopt for new users 3. Bulk Editing is the easiest way to edit the document metadata. 4. Easy to Extract the reports.

Nothing noticed about the least in Adoddle Asite.

simplicity, ftp with database functionality. simple or sophisticated structure. however you need it. reliability excellent

getting left behind. needs a distribution server locked on, better viewer locked on. make it a future proof product

Easy to use. When I first started using Asite it did not take me long for me to learn how to use it. No trouble finding or uploading documents/drawings on Asite.

I think the actual layout of the programme could do with being updated or modernised. The actual software itself sometimes has trouble loading or does not load at all and 'Error' is shown on my screen.

Getting drawing files is fairly quick to download if you can find them. useful for seeing comments from other members.

Software is complex to use, non intuitive, obscure methods to get to information, unclear instructions, heavy handed for simple needs like drawing issue. Lots of notifications for irrelevant parts of the project when we do not need them. Difficult to find just the elements required. Time consuming to manage in a busy office. Difficult for a specialist like ourselves to use. OK for multinationals that can afford all the extra staff needed just to use and manage this software. Setting up and making comments is another whole management process with this system. Would we recomend it NO but all these systems involve a huge admin effort that takes away importent time from your paying work.

Keeping the data's safe & uploading of data is easy. Easy to take backups . Easy to login . Easy to guide others to use.

To many folder structure which some time not relevant to the projects & cant provide such data's while the project on going

Storage capabilities and amount of information you can upload and download from ASite. the old format is very easy to use, no problems for a beginner navigating around asite to find drawings and information

The new format doesn't seem to search the criteria properly. if the word is not found it will pull up all the drawings in the file and this takes some time to load up

Easy to use interface still trying to find my way around the system, but hopefully once it comes in fully will be able to implement into my daily tasks more.

As a QS used to using DWF as a way of viewing drawings so that we are able to measure, as opposed to PDF that we can only view

Easy to use. The system is self explanatory. You can markup the documents and directly send to the recipients for coordination.

In terms of bulk uploading, it takes too much time as the information still need to fill-up manually.

I love the automated e-mail notifications - it really helps save time in not having to constantly follow up manually via e-mail.

I wish the interface was a bit more user friendly. It seems very jumbled and intimidating. I would get rid of everything and only keep the most essential features/options.

Hi Fatima Thank you kindly for your review! We'll have one of our team members contact you to explain the platform navigation to you in detail. This will enable more effective working methods in your environment. Best regards The ATeam

Easy to upload and download project related information

It shows tasks as outstanding even when not relevant to your role.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us it's always appreciated. Our team is always trying to make sure our users have a great outcome using Asite.

easy to access drawings and communicate with sub contractors also easy to track the drawings and find information

time consuming and can confuse if you don't use it for a while and information can be hidden if you don't know how to refrence things

Accessibility is great, we love how easy it is to find revisions and access all previous drawings and all project information.

It feels a bit dated compared to other software on the market. The aesthetic etc. could be updated for a more friendly user experience.

It is very easy to upload documents. It is really easy to find and view/ download documents. Would definitely recommend.

Software sometimes crashes and doesn't allow me to open mark ups/ comments on documents I have uploaded.
