4Clicks for Federal vs. Rev.io PSA

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.

Tigerpaw Unleashed, according to Trust Radius is no longer being marketed. If it worked correctly, it has the potential to be great software for Enterprise level businesses. We chose the Unleashed version so that the technicians could use it in the field. It does take a lot of information to get the software up and running

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

• 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!

• When training, during the overview of a chapter the examples tend to be from a prior version and do not reflect current software.
• In my experience when things don't work the way you think they should being told to go back and read the chapter that you read 5 times before is not helpful.
• I my experience when they know that there is an issue and the software is not working they keep billing you.
• They like to tell you that they are escalating the problem. You never see a resolution and they do not get back to you . You have to keep calling them.
• They acknowledge that you are having issues and state that there will be a credit. I have not seen one.
• In my opinion, training is filled with jargon and no glossary.

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

• 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.
