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.
Read full review One of the best things about FollowUp Power is that we can mark things for follow-up several months down the line, which we frequently have a need for since many of our clients are seasonal. For example, we'll get started working with them while they're here in Florida for the winter, then they'll head back north in the spring and not want to hear from us again until they return in the fall. With FollowUp Power, we can then mark them for follow up in the future rather than to have to somehow remember to contact them in the future.
Read full review 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. Read full review We love the dashboard feature. This is where we spend the majority of our time. The dashboard helps us avoid missing bid dates and deadlines. The system is very intuitive and a new user will be up to speed within one hour after they start using the system. There is only one place to enter all data. This allows for ease of use and minimizes data entry mistakes. Every task is date stamped to insure proper work flow and holds the team accountable to each other. Read full review 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. Read full review It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous phone #s with a note beside each one ("his cell#", "her work#", "do not call before 9a.m.", etc.). It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous e-mail addresses ("hers", "his", "her email address at work", etc.). It would be nice to have a separate general information box where we could put comments in that would show every time we bring up the account (such as "her nickname is Bobbi", "their dogs name is Fido, "their son is currently stationed in France", "husband is going through chemotherapy", etc.), which would help us to remember personal details that are important to our clients.

In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.
Read full review 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.

I have used other CRM programs in the past, and FollowUp Power is much more user friendly, and I have already seen a direct increase in my lead to customer conversion ratio as well as increased sales
Read full review 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. Read full review I have seen a lot better tracking on my jobs when it comes to scheduling and staying on top of my jobs. The dashboard is part of my daily routine it tells me exactly what I need to follow up on weather it is calling the customer or checking on the customer. Payments or what the current status of the job is. Read full review ScreenShots
