    If you are a commercial contractor or subcontractor, Autodesk AEC Collection, along with other Autodesk software is a must. There is no other way to design estimate and plan large construction. For residential construction, It may not be as necessary but it could still be useful if your primary construction projects are new builds rather than renovations.

    When I am out purchasing items for my business I can quickly take photos of receipts and upload via the app and not have to worry if I lose or damage a receipt. This is very handy for me. Hubdoc also allows me to get all my invoices, payments and statements to my bookkeeper very easily which saves me money and time. I only use Hubdoc for business purposes which is where I feel it is most suitable. I probably wouldn't use it for personal stuff as I don't track personal that strictly.

    Cons
    Autodesk
    • Revit is limited in its use for civil engineering and landscape architecture.
    • There are bugs due to the complex nature of the software.
    • Use of software requires the latest high-tech computers.

    • Although it is great that they can automatically get bank statements and transactions once linked, these links have been very unreliable historically.
    • Figuring out how to set up the automatic feed is cumbersome. You can land up being inundated with useless transaction data.
    • you have to upload each document separately. The program cannot differentiate/split PDFs.

    I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.

    Usability
    Autodesk
    The software has a significant learning curve. You also must know and understand construction standards and codes. Each member of our BIM team has spent 10+ years in construction and has had years of software training. The software also requires powerful computers to render the models. Without a BIM focused gpu and processor, the software will seem less usable when in reality, the computer is not capable of running the software properly

    I think this is one of the easiest apps to use on both mobile and desktop. Once it was all set up by my bookkeeper all I needed to do was upload things. I recall the set up being quite simple and we've only made a few small changes over the years.

    At the time we implemented Hubdoc (more than 2 years ago) it was quite cutting edge and did have strong advances from the competition plus its pricing was definitely more competitive (flat rate vs price per data extraction model). However, currently the competition has caught up and now many of Hubdoc's core features are being built into online accounting software natively.

    We did not get far into evaluating other solutions we were looking at because Hubdoc came highly recommended from peers, coupled with Xero and Gusto. The cost for Thompson-Reuters is high. We quickly honed in on Hubdoc due to cost and recommendation and are very glad that we did.

    • We are processing much faster than expected
    • Clients are getting receipts in faster and allowing us not to stalk them to process their banking
    • It is a file for us besides attaching to the invoice we also have the history of bills/receipts in Hubdoc
