Avis clients sur ProEst

The most impactful features in ProEst are the formula variables and algorithmic equations you can used to rate your own assemblies. This allows the user to essentially create their own take off software within ProEst. Customization is amazing!

ProEst is cloud based. This means you can not use the program while offline; this may not be a problem to most people, however if you do not have internet or would like to work without an internet - you cant.

Customer service gets big marks. Once I figured out how to easily put in bids and add-ons I figured out the rest. Separating onsites and offsites is very easy

A bit much to figure out. Wish it were simpler. How to add field extras and designating the responsible department was not originally clear.

I can keep all my quotes at one place and easy to use.

There are so many things to improve. They can do lot with it. I have already suggested them a lot to change.

I want them to make it like excel format.

We have been client for 10+ years. Today, we had a scheduled zoom meeting with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and while I was trying to get my audio to work, he stated "She isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer!" The unprofessionalism and lack of respect from a man to a woman is unfathomable. This world is ugly right now and people like him continue to make it ugly. I will not tolerate disrespect in the work field, I am a professional and expect to be treated as one.

There has been many glitches through the portal since we switched to the new iCloud system. We've been patient and kind. We are no longer able to populate the proposal to send to our clients who are expecting their bid today.

Its easy to use estimating software and saves our time in creating a price proposal to several customers of our company and easily keep track those at one place.

Its not compatible with accounting software and everyday you will find some problem with print, page setup and adding line items to the proposal.

Nothing stands out. The desktop version seemed more complete while the cloud based seems like it was rushed out, missing key features that the desktop version had. Disappointed.

Clunky, poor flow of program through estimates, reports etc. No material cost table like the desktop which is a major con. Submitted requests, never hear back from support. No updating option when exporting to accounting, a feature that was part of the desktop version.

Proest has a inbuilt database and also you can create your own database so that you can use this again and again for your estimation in one click. This software is very friendly and easy to use.

Adding of line items is not possible between two line items. You have to start over if you want to add between lines .

It not very much compatible with integrating accounting software like Foundation.

It is cloud based and the sales team did a good job

Overall, it is very clunky. Formulas can't use text like Excel. Numbers in estimating spreadsheet are locked to the take-off. Changing them is a multi-step process. Difficult when bid hour is approaching. Bid Day was one of the features that pushed us toward ProEst. In our first training we were told it didn't work, but updates are coming. It's been a year, no updates. The list goes on....

Implementation and training can quickly be done.

Building assemblies is very limited due to variable setup.

The fact that it is easy to customize the take-off settings and get a clear measuring tool when needed

Integration with other CRMs is a little bit more tricky.

There was very little to like about the software.

Very slow load times, customer support was only accessed through a ticket system with a long wait time, there where bugs that would cause takeoff quantities to be incorrect costing the company thousands of dollars.

We can create all our proposal or quotes at one place. Easy to use.

Difficult to edit or insert line items with the created proposal. Lot of work to add Client inforamation. Print page setup is not easy.

I like the fact they have modernized the software to a cloud based system, also like the fact 2 people can work in the same estimate at the same time.

I think that they need to work on adding features, the reports are a little hard to manipulate especially when you are trying to allocate. Its a little overwhelming at first to figure out how to use.

Proest ntegrates with our accounting software

Very poorly designed. Not user friendly. They don't seem interested in even making the most simple improvements. For example to find a customer's email address, you have to go into a completely different part of the software, then search for the customer by name, then hover over a secret invisible button to open the "contacts" window, and then you might see the customer's email address. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
What else I don't like is that it doesn't integrate with other software except accounting. So we are forced to use it as a CRM.

Proposal Writting is made easy and summary reports.

Learning curve when first using this software. some features from ProEst did not transfer to the cloud version.

Very user friendly. Helps you make take-off easily.

Would like the reporting process to be more customizable to be able to implement on our companies document control.

Ease of use
Reporting
Predefined database's to fit specific company needs
Onscreen takeoff and estimating software in one
Cloud or Desktop

No live tech support or chat support. Must submit a support ticket and wait for a call back.
No way to change database and have it reflect on templates without updating templates individually
Training is not free

Everything from start to finish can be done. A lot of different tools to use. The tech support is wonderful.

Was a little tough to learn. Pricing is a little expensive. Had to schedule training classes. I had to wait a few times for tech support to call me back.
