Pros

It integrates many aspects of project management into one location.
It produces easy to understand reports that incorporate financial aspects of the project so that costs and profit can be calculated in real-time rather than as a lagging indicator.
Document management is housed within the project, reducing the number of locations and the need for additional cloud storage to maintain project documentation.
CMiC customer assistance is prompt and helpful.

Cons

Missing functionality on the drawing management side. See previous question.
Submittal module changes in R12 took away key functionality from the user. Specifically the Fabrication and Delivery fields. CMiC promises to bring this back but the process is too slow. Users have waited months to bring back functionality that was taken away.
Submittal module interface via collaborator and I/O email is not updating status correctly.
The mobile app does not allow users to change auto-generated checklist names. We have a checklist that is supposed to be used per room but the program auto-generates list names as ###-001, ###-002, etc. In the mobile app, there is no way to see a unique identifier in the list view so users have to open and close each record to find unique identifiers. There is a workaround with the web client but our field employees say its too cumbersome. They are abandoning using the web client checklists and going back to paper copies.
Specification extraction does not work.

I like the functionality of CMiC; however, there are always going to be "opportunities" that we encounter to get corrected

EstimateOne 10.0

Based on 1 answer

EstimateOne is easy to use, the user interface is designed to be simple yet functional - many other platforms I have used are much more cumbersome to navigate and don't offer as much functionality. Everything has been thought out well with EstimateOne - it seems to have been designed by people who have worked in the industry.

Support Rating

CMiC Construction Platform 6.2

Based on 79 answers

It's a cumbersome platform that doesn't support plans and specs in a way utilized by most construction companies. There is no way to download a specific set (or specifically selected number) of individual drawings sheets, it doesn't package drawings in sets, the Specs function (at least as far as we've been set up for) isn't a function as much as it is a documents folder, uploading is a tedious process that gains no benefit.

EstimateOne 9.6

Based on 2 answers

EstimateOne Support is fantastic; whenever I have a question or need something done, it is almost instant. Wait time on the phone is almost non-existent every time I have called, and when I send an email requesting something it is generally followed up within a couple of hours. Can't fault their service yet!

Based on 1 answer

Lots of confusion between sales and implementation regarding what was included and not included...the security encountered a "bug" and made it extremely difficult to set up roles and individual responsibilities

Alternatives Considered

CMiC was the software currently in use when I joined Pence. I've used Prolog, Constructware, and Procore. All seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. If CMiC was able to mirror the user interface of Procore then this software could be amazing. A program should be very intuitive. CMiC has improved greatly over the years from the last time I used it but it's still very esoteric.

We have used many other platforms, but none are quite as intuitive or have a clean and easy to use interface as EstimateOne. Our company uses BidContender, BCI, Procore, Aconex and many other platforms for tendering etc. I highly rate EstimateOne when it comes to looking for work and submitting tenders, it is by far the best for collaborating and keeping track of work.

Return on Investment

Better project visibility, surely. I can step into a former project and see how well/poorly it was run.
Forecasting underway - nearly complete with year 2.
Cost status tracking - this has been valuable, especially when figuring out how much of a liquid budget is left over.
