ConstructConnect Insight vs eSUB Construction Software

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very well suited for finding projects where your product is specified, and I just use my company name. but, for other keywords, great.. and then it highlights where you are on the document that comes up. Also, it tells you how many times in the specific project documents it is found so you can find all of them.Not sure, but we're not sure how legal, or ethical, it is for the database to show contact names, phone and email addresses. We don't believe those people appreciate unqualified inclusion in company databases for marketing communication.. ie e-newsletters, etc.

As a subcontractor - yes (overheads are a big deal, this can help manage it by being simple and productive)As a general contractor - no (I think there are more things a GC would need at their disposal)If your whole company is on board it can be a powerful tool, but everyone -even site workers, need to be 100% on-board. It can't do what it's supposed to do if only some are using it.

Cons

I would like to see the Listing date for a project in the exported excel sheet
I don't know where to find it, but make available and easy to find and reference the search rules.. like using the AND, OR.. type of functions.
I don't like it that when you open up insight it defaults to an Updated Within level. I always have to remember to turn that off before I run my searches.

We use Microsoft daily for many things, its an essential program for many areas - the more eSUB can integrate with its core programs the more seamless the transition and daily use.
Its display platform could use a bit more of a face lift. It reminded me of late 2010's web-design or Microsoft visuals.
Its app functionality struggled in some areas, we tried using it but found there to be some bugs. Although IT was very helpful in response.

Alternatives Considered

don't know, haven't used or even courted anyone else for this purpose. Found Reed years ago at ASHRAE/AHR expo, and started it with their pitch then and their good assistance since then.

Procore has a lot of layers and bells and whistles. eSUB is your meat and potatoes. I found eSUB more suited for our company vs Procore. However, Procore would be more suited to general contractors. eSUB didn't allow as much integration with Microsoft as Procore, but it wasn't significant enough for that to be a deciding factor. I think the difference comes down to what kind of company you are: if you have a lot to manage then maybe Procore if you just need organization, record keeping, budget structuring and get the job done then maybe eSUB.

eSUB saves time as you don't have to type, print and send documents.
I like to call it "set it up once, use it a million times" as once you set up a customer, vendor etc... you can use them across multiple platforms.
It saves money as you don't need a pool of resources to manage a project due to its ease of use.
