Bentley ProjectWise vs. SafetyCulture

ProjectWise is good for really large projects with many team members. I would not recommend it for small projects or those with a small team of people working on them. It is best for technical people and those who plan to use it daily. There are better FTP options out there if you just want to use them for file sharing.

I think any contractor could put the iAuditor platform to good use. The ability to build custom guides and reporting tools could be useful to just about any business. Only classified government or very high-security work may be a situation where the cloud-based iAuditor platform may not be appropriate.

• It works for collaboration
• The backend is customisable to do work that other document management systems just cannot do.

• Regular checks
• Quality and procurement
• Company audits

Incentivized

• many users cannot be in the same file at the same time
• files are not automatically freed upon closure
• copying files to another ProjectWise folder is complicated. There is an option to copy, another to copy to, etc.

• I wish it was priced lower so I could deploy to more team members.
• I wish I had additional control over how the report looked.

Bentley ProjectWise from a user perspective just does not stack up to even something as simple as Dropbox. ProjectWise is powerful, it is capable, it has a ton of features. The best implementation I have seen from Projectwise is where the admins unlocked everything and let the users do as they please defeating everything it stood for and using it as a big Dropbox account, though even then the user interface couldn't be improved still causing significant workflow delays. I would reluctantly leave a good company if they implement ProjectWise, I respect that it's powerful for system admins but it sucks for users. This means 2-10% of what it is used for is well designed while the other 98-90% of its functions are just bogged down by a lack of development in its user interface and I say this as someone who has periodically used it over the last 10 years and seen no effective improvement in usability. Bentley ProjectWise was one of the first I believe to do this type of system, but as is common with being the first is you don't keep up with the times and bring a lot of baggage with you.

Haven't used any other off-the-shelf software that's similar.
