e-Builder vs. Redbooth

Well suited for the owner's side of managing multiple projects as it allows for all aspects of a project from development to closeout to be managed on one platform. Not as appropriate for a general contractor as there is better software out there. e-Builder's app is not as effective as others.

Redbooth is fantastic for freelance artists, small businesses, or even larger companies. It's versatile and can handle and help you stay organized. IT has replaced most every other tool we use to stay up to date on projects, keep track of tasks, and use it for a proofing space. It may not be good if you aren't a freelancer or someone who has many tasks to complete. It seems best when there's at least 2 people in the company.

• Provide a document structure that is easy to navigate. All documents, even within a process, are stored in the document structure and easily accessed by those with the correct permissions.
• Scheduling, especially with the new module is easy. It is helpful with a large organization where many hands touch projects to be able to forecast workloads (we have an in house engineering team who reviews all projects during their design phase)
• Allows for easy interface with contractors and makes the submittal process more straightforward.

• Desktop sharing.
• Good audio and video quality.

• The restrictions in formatting, and sorting of information rendered, in a way, affects the reporting output.
• At certain times of day, e-Builder traffic causes the loading of filtered searches to take a while. This is probably common regardless of the site or software used.
• More complicated reporting has some limitation, though the program is highly efficient in assisting with simple format reports.

Incentivized

• It is not an application to store large amounts of documentation.
• Having a lot of information can make it cumbersome to get some tasks.
• It's a tool created for fast management and communication. At the moment, when accumulating tasks, it can be a total mess.

Because again, one of our biggest clients entrusts E-builder to work with their systems. And its functions work for us as well.

Simple, because have a used it for the past two years, so i'm very familiar with the particular aspects of its program that I need to accomplish my tasks.

Again, because our technical support is great. He doesn't always answer the phone but he definitely responds to emails fairly quickly. In addition, I like that he actually resolves an issue and I have yet to encounter the same issue twice. Actually, I haven't encountered many issues at all in the two years I have used the software.

I’ve never actually used their support - I think that in and of itself says something about the product.

1. Set up the time to get training on the sytem before you go all in.

2. Listen, ask questions and actually practice using the tools and features while in class. It helps tremendously with becoming comfortable and remembering how things work.

3. Don't be afraid to mess up. They are helpful and will help resolve your issue in a timely manner

We have not compared other plans since the boss prefers this program from personal experience. But from using this program for 2 years I can see why we don't need to compare. Why fix something that isn't broken? It gets the job done, yes we might run into some issues but I feel like with all companies that can happen

The overall interface, hour tracking, Gantt charts and integrations with Google Drive make Redbooth the best choice for our company.
