AutoCAD mobile vs Fieldwire

Likelihood to Recommend

AutoCAD 360 has multiple functionalities that adapt to circumstantial conditions. It has a focus on available tools at all times and deserves to be updated to be at the forefront of technological platforms. It is very useful in some aspects of functionality to have access to less dense and capable tools to develop environments and improve visualization.

Fieldwire is excellent for anyone who needs to view and consult drawings as part of their job. Anyone on a construction site can benefit from using Fieldwire.

Cons

It'd be nice to be able to use AutoCAD 360 to leave comments on peoples files, such as being able to annotate a certain part of it and mark it for review, so then its author can look at the note and make necessary changes.

The software is geared toward general contractors. We are actively providing feedback to gear it toward engineers, architects, and design professionals.
I would like to see more options for mark-ups.

This is so useful so we would like to keep renewing as Autocad 360 does. In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.

Fieldwire 8.9

Based on 7 answers

As we have reached out to support regarding several issues with Fieldwire over the years, it can be a hit or miss depending on the issue. Most issues are solved right away and with an easy fix - it's usually something we overlooked or didn't know about. I wouldn't hesitate to contact the FW support if or when I have issues.

Alternatives Considered

The AutoCAD 360 can work directly from the program, making changes or indicating where changes should be made while agreements are reached for the good of the project you are working on, the other systems show you the plan, but they do not help you with the edit or modifications

Fieldwire is much more cost-effective for the same features as PlanGrid.

Return on Investment

ROI is a bit low, because a lot of people are moving to Revit and BIM 360.
Not all consultants use CAD so it makes it hard for compatibility.
