ConstructConnect Insight vs Quick Bid

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.

Quick Bid is the perfect choice for anyone that wants to put together detailed estimates in a very efficient manner. We price out jobs, including everything needed, down to the screws. It allows you to be very detailed if necessary, or very general by just adding man-hours or allowances.

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.

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.

We stopped using ProEst because it was going to cloud-based storage, was getting real buggy. It was also bogging down our servers.
