4Clicks for Federal vs. Hitask

If you are considering purchasing this (very expensive) software, there is a 100% chance you are doing so because you have been awarded a Government contract that dictates you use 4Clicks Project Estimator. There are plenty of easier to use estimating packages out in the world, but you can't use any of them if you have a contract that requires 4Clicks.

The reason why I use Hitask are, first, because it makes my work easier, makes it less tedious and more dynamic, second, with the use of this software I attract more clients, and third, the results I achieve with this software are very efficient. True results that materialize the company's production. On the other hand, our customer flow is increasing, and with it, the company's production. It is very easy to handle, I can make use of social networks to obtain more clients and sales.

• The estimates it produces are simple and easy to follow. The formatting is good.
• The tech support provided is very attentive.

• I organize my daily task. I can schedule my activities and tasks, and thus be able to do everything I have pending and what I still have to finish.
• Contains reminder, this prevents you from handing in late projects.
• I can create different types of tables that help me to do all my tasks and to work better.

• The software feels 20 years old. It has not kept up with modern times, and practically functions like an old DOS program.
• Clunky interface, arcane commands.
• Even their training info focuses on hotkeys like this is 1995. Even though I am of an age to remember computers in 1995, the younger generations of managers/estimators are not. It is time to bring the software into the new century!

• Many functions are paid, these functions are very important in the workplace.

WinEst uses much the same database (RS Means/Gordion type) and has a similar interface. It is a bit cheaper.

ClickUp was very difficult to use, I don't see all its functions necessary, I don't understand some tools and its interface is very confusing. I just preferred Hitask because it gave me immediate results, it is easy to use, and it organizes you and helps you grow your business.

• As stated before, if you are buying this software, it is because you have a contract forcing you to. While it does work, it is clunky, awkward, and very expensive.
• The price of the software and databases has always been high, but with the fairly recent acquisition of 4Clicks by Gordion (who also bought RS Means for their databases), there is literally no competition. Prices will continue to be very high, with no check on how high they can go.
• Again, can't fault 4Clicks tech support, as I think it is the best in the industry. They know their product and they respond to issues immediately. Considering what we spend a year for this product, however, you would expect nothing less.

• Through this software, we organize ourselves better and do the task in a meticulous way to know how to improve.
• I have improved my work.
• Every day I am better and more organized, I accomplish my daily tasks and meet the company's objectives.
