Bridgit Bench vs. Sage Estimating

Very easy to use and navigate, easy to read and follow. But there is a lot of duplicate things where I have to double enter or change things in different places. There should also be a better way for PTO to be shown.

Sage Estimating was initially created for the construction industry and many of its current users use it to estimate buildings, but it has adapted quite well for the oil and gas industry. If the user is willing to invest the time and energy to develop and maintain their database, I can see it working for any industry. It is very easy to adjust and adapt the database as estimating methods and project designs change. As an example, our accounting department sometimes changes the way projects are reporting in our accounting software. Because I can go through our 9000 line item database in a couple of days, I am always ahead of the curve and can report my estimates in the format they require.

• It would be nice if the details tab and the manpower that you assigned communicated with one another, it would save the double entry.
• Phases is not user friendly
• Duplicate fields

Incentivized

• The program has a fairly antiquated user interface such that someone working in it may not feel like they are working with advanced software.
• Sage Estimating has absolutely no remote access capability outside running it in a Citrix/RDP environment so users have to be using a fat/full client vs. any hopes of access on a mobile device.

It is a good product and meets all of our needs

Sage's support of Estimating is adequate though frankly we rarely need it. Outside of more complex operations such as upgrades and installation problems the program itself is so straightforward that we do not usually have any "issues" and questions that are more about usability can easily be answered in online forums. We trust Sage's capability to answer these questions if needed but rarely use it.

I think Bridgit will get there. They're different and hard to compare

For our needs and after completing a valued score card SAGE has always exceeded our min. requirements

• Manupulation of existing data is very user friendly thanks to "Database Manager".
• A bit pricey
