    Any integrated agency (more than just a single-discipline agency) that's looking for a one-stop shop to manage all aspects of running the business would do well to consider Advantage as the single-source tool to do it all. Single-discipline agencies could probably find a less robust tool that's equally as effective for tracking and reporting.

    Cons
    HomeTech Systems
    • Advantage is hugely cumbersome. There are hundreds of functions I will never use, and that I'm not sure anyone else in the organization uses.
    • The user interface could be better. Every time there's an update, there's a small but definitive learning curve.

    We have also used BidClips. I find that Advantage gave us more flexibility with custom estimates & report tracking.
