ConstructConnect Insight vs Fieldwire

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.

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.

As we have reached out to support regarding several issues with Fieldwire over the years, it can be a hit or miss depending on the issue. Most issues are solved right away and with an easy fix - it's usually something we overlooked or didn't know about. I wouldn't hesitate to contact the FW support if or when I have issues.

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.
