    My experience so far is excellent. I also received feedback from a couple of my clients and they are quite impressed with the format and clarity of the inspection report.

    I'm able to complete my work in half the time. Once I'm able to navigate the system a little better, I have confidence that I'll love this system more than the previous one.

    Cons
    The inability to format text (bold, italic, colour, etc.) is frustrating at times and terrible page breaks which make some reports look a bit odd.

    Blank spaces on report between sections looks unprofessional. Glichy host possibly causes application to freeze on occasion.

    KT

    Kyle T.

    Reports were much too long and it scared off agents. Also instead of integrated a form required by Texas, it tacked it to the end, making the report even longer.

    Horizon will make you stand out

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    We operate as a team to do inspections. It allows us to each inspect different systems , it all uploads to the same report. It has helped us to be fast and effiscient. Less time report writing equals more time for Inspections and higher profit for your time spent.

    Pros

    Horizon produces an easy to understand report that looks great and makes you stand out. You can personalize and add your own items to make report writing much faster.

    Cons

    It doesn't have the ability for you to use videos unless you upload them to you tube.

    Vendor response

    Hi Kenny, Thanks for the great review! We're happy to know that we could help your team save time writing reports and increase your profit earning potential!

    Great Reports

    Reviewed a year ago

    There are competitors in this market, but dollar for dollar, there is no better software to use for home inspections. And, their customer support and user training is second to none.

    Pros

    Horizon provides all the software needed to run my business. It is a stable, cloud based system with superior customer support.

    Cons

    Horizon is so customizable that there is very little not to like.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for the high rating! We appreciate you choosing Horizon after your due diligence reviewing others in the industry. Thanks again!

    Great check list software, but fails to allow for a library of specific narrative

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    I feel a need to describe specific issues of the inspection with narrative comments, and although 'Horizon' allows you to view the last comment, it has no allowance for reference to a library of past related comments that I have made, which I could reference to a current situation. Horizon refers to a vast theory data base but doesn't allow for me to describe specifically the clients situation in my own words unless I type them in each report....which I feel is necessary in giving them a 'client specific' inspection report. I prefer a narrative based report and being able to refer to my past comments, rather than a checklist report.

    Pros

    The interactive nature of the reporting, scheduling , billing etc

    Cons

    I have to type my 'client specific' comments each time they may be required instead of being able to reference each one and tweaking them to my specific report needs. I understand that one can refer to the last comment, but I don't think you can scan a library of comments for quick reference to one that meets ones specific needs.

    Vendor response

    Hello Doug, We appreciate your feedback and trial of Horizon Inspection Software. Horizon comes loaded with over 6000 comments ready for Home Inspectors to use out of the box. Horizon lets you easily add custom comments on the fly to build your narrative library. Use our Power Search and SpeedWrite features to save time reporting. We'd be happy to arrange a free demonstration or help with your specific needs at carsondunlop.com or 800 268 7070 ext. 243

    In all these years Horizon keeps adapting and has never let us down

    Reviewed a year ago

    My overall experience with horizon over the last 10 years or so has been exceptional. I know what to expect and they never disappoint.

    Pros

    Horizon has always stayed current with industry changes and trends. They seem to pride themselves of staying ahead of the ever changing demands of the consumer and software world and go to great lengths to make sure they stay competitive in the constant evolution of software while making the sometimes significant changes almost seamless to the existing user base. A very delicate dance I'm sure.

    Cons

    A little more flexibility in the data capture would be ideal.

    Vendor response

    We appreciate hearing your experience and feedback Jeff. It's always great working with you, watching and helping your Team Grow to more than 14 inspectors!

    Steady performance and fantastic support

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Reduces reporting time giving me a life in the evenings. Produces a great looking report. Have received many compliments from client and agents alike.

    Pros

    Designed by inspectors for inspectors. Horizon presents to the user in a very logical way. Best of all is movement within the report. It's very easy to navigate and know where you are.

    Cons

    Page breaks can be awkward sometimes depending on picture layouts mainly. In a few cases I wish font size could be increased.

    Vendor response

    Great to hear from you Mark and wonderful to hear about your Horizon Inspection experience has been. Have a great year!
