Pros

Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.

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.

Needs to update a data base for new emerging markets in energy.
Separation of some supporting materials into more relevant categories would eliminate number of required click through actions.

Likelihood to Renew

AutoCAD mobile 10.0

Based on 1 answer

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.

Trimble Accubid 7.1

Based on 6 answers

Accubid can sometimes fall short when it comes to CS. The correct departments aren't always properly delineated, making it difficult to get ahold of the individual most appropriate for your issue. To that end, it has been outsourced to people with accents sometimes difficult to understand. This is my biggest critique

Alternatives Considered

Although there are lots of alternatives to AutoCAD mobile on the Google play store and the app store, many of these alternatives are not professionally developed and are associated with shady developers. So there might be a privacy or security risk with the usage these alternatives. However, DWG FastView is a worthy competing alternative.

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.

reduced estimating cost vs pen and paper
because it's a widely used platform it's easy to recruit estimators to the platform
works well in a multi estimator environment
