Asite Reviews

It is intuitive compared to other document management platforms. Also looks relatively modern whereas other platforms have dated appearances given that they've been added to over a number of years.

The zoom slider bar on the PDF viewer isn't a good idea, a plus and minus would be far better. Also the PDF viewer is quite slow and laggy.

The software can be adjusted to the needs of the user, there are modules that can be add to support specific tasks

The time involving in uploading something is not the best, also the filters mechanism VS naming the files could be better

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

Clear contract management audit trail for processing compensation events and changes to target costs.

Not intuitive making it difficult to find the information I need. Too complicated to set up the correct security/access to information leading to security breaches. Internet based systems are slow to access from my usual office

Very high potential. There are a lot of good features Local support has been good Archiving and retrieval is very useful

The "BASIC" system and setup is far too complicated thereby causing new users to shy away from it. We have had it for 2 years in a company of 100 people and still only about 3, maybe 5 people use it!!! I have had to withdraw from using it because no one else in the company uses it of even understands how to use it. There are too many features which are only accessible via hidden or complicated menu. Linking/sharing information with outside professions is too complicated. (ie Dropbox is far simpler) Basic Training is poor.

The fact that you can easily track everything, creating reports and you can easily find what you are looking for

No cons were added to this review

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

The software is easy to use with little or no training - the interface is very intuitive to navigate to find what you are looking for.

Abilities to batch approve drawings. This is probably more associated with upload procedures/ behaviours and possibly could be resolved through additional training.

Really easy, clean user interface. Navigating is straight forward and the document filing system is great too. The ability to link different file types within on document submission helps with unnecessary file clutter.

Sometimes the amount of notifications can get a bit much

Fluid work flow system, ASITE configuration has been relatively straight forward and all NEC work flows exist.

Closing out correspondence isn't straight forward. Further, the definitions between PSC and ECC contracts aren't correct.

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.

Good method of recording data and communications. Its easy to refer to later and track development of communications.

It can be difficult to search for items. It can also be time consuming to upload items and meta data and find information later.

I like the fact it's web based, generally quick to load & has the functionality to share & upload documents

sometimes it can run slow if a lot of people use it at the same time. Yesterday, a few of my projects disappeared for no reason, but there were no error messages or warnings that the software was down (it also happened to my colleagues so it wasn't user error).

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.

Asite enables all contractual communications to be managed in a streamlined and easily visible manner. Referring back to past activity to verify current status is simple.

Downloading files is more complex than necessary with forced zipping of multiple files. The new design runs more slowly than the old on less-powerful PCs, and does not have a particularly professional appearance with cartoon logos etc.

I found that once I had gotten past the learning curve, the system was pretty self explanatory and I appreciated the helpful hints to complete documents.

When I was learning to use the soft wear, it wasn't very intuitive, and as someone who doesn't learn well from videos I would have preferred to read a PDF. Also, it would be helpful if the site mentioned on the front page which internet browsers the soft wear is compatible with.

Once you are familiar with the system, it becomes relatively intuitive and the proves highly flexible.

The user interface is not intuitive when you first use the system and it doesn't have a clear route to use.

Interface is easy to use, design of portal is modern and clean, no data storage limit issues, easy to organise data into folders

Sends a lot of email updates autogenerated, difficult to unsubscribe from certain file sharing working groups, when searching in PPMT there's only keyword search, no option to search geographically/by organisation

Customer support is always eager to resolve my queries and the responses I get are mostly satisfactory leading to the resolution of issues.

Functionality as it is counter intuitive, complicated and not user friendly. Also the certain pages keep refreshing while I am looking for something making things hard to find thus wasting time.

The software is easy to use and to enter data into. It is also simple to use as a reviewing tool, quickly accessing projects to oversee their funding, spend profile and help manage their progression. A useful note tool allows users to jot down changes and reason for change to a project, allowing for continuity.

It is possible to change historic information on a project which is very useful however, there is no automatic or 'secure' note on the system to dictate what changes have been made and by whom. This means that projects could be updated and historic, important, information lost. I think a tool that provided an update of changes and by whom which is encrypted (so no changes can be made to the note) would be useful.

Closing it down. I don't like anything else about it, and I never look forward to having to do anything with Adoddle or Asite or whatever it is this week.

It is labyrinthine and nothing seems to work. Too many acronyms, no screen tips, no simple view. I hate it. It takes too long to do things which should be fast. It is a hoop I have to jump through and is massively less effiicient than the old ways of doing things. Even the front page is annoying. If I never had to use it again, it would be too soon. I am not a Luddite with no idea of 'systems', I am perfectly comfortable with database systems, but this front end is truly dreadful.

i like the fact that there are many sub folders in the system and you can ground things together for optimum organisation.

sometimes it is difficult to see the comments that different parties have left on a particular document.

It seems to have the capacity to do most things but knowing how to do them is not very easy and the layout is confusing.

Definitely the notifications are bad - the fact that you have to untick all of the notifications settings as they are all selected by default aren't good.

Good for adding and accessing drawings, handy for adding other documentation, everyone can see everything that is uploaded so keeps people in the loop

Too many emails updating me on drawings that didn't concern my trade, interface was not the most straightforward to use

It is very convenient when you have to download a big package of documents as it allows compressed files to be very accessible.

Sometimes the search field does not seem to work properly or at least I do not find the reference document that I want.
