Premier Construction Software vs. YouTrack

Jonas is well suited for the construction industry and for trades that work in construction. The functionality and features are set up to streamline the processes that take place daily, weekly, and monthly. You are also able to manage the big picture and track your company's information for multiple years, making it a scalable software. Our administration and project managers can streamline work from the field to the office through Jonas and we feel that is one of the biggest benefits to Jonas

We use it for both support and project management alike. It's not as bloated or indeed as expensive as Jira, so unless you have particularly complex requirements, YouTrack fits the bill in pretty much the same use cases as Jira does.

The interface is also a good deal nicer on the eye and less clunky than a lot of the Open Source (eg. Redmine) and enterprise (eg. Remedy).

It does have a customisable workflow for things like ticket age alerts. We don't make a great deal of use of this and had found that it can take a little fiddling if you want something very bespoke but it is clearly quite powerful.

• I can go right to the receipt with the GL report drill-down capabilities.
• Workflows make the product accessible from anywhere for approval when I have people on the road.
• Dragging and dropping reports to in AP will then go to documents under the job it is attached to.

It is very intuitive. Its not hard to pick up learn. I learned it pretty quickly at the first startup I cofounded and love to use it when working on my other ideas.

We came away from Sage 100. We looked at Computerease and Foundation among a few others. These two were looked at most seriously.

YouTrack is more cost effective than all the commercial options. It's way more powerful and easier to use than the Open Source ones. It's a good middle ground and it does everything we need. Our software projects are of moderate complexity and YouTrack handles them well. Likewise, when it comes to external users, we've had good feedback from clients. Many of these clients are non-technical and have expressed their relief at not having to use something like Jira which is often quite impregnable for such users.

• Jonas has positively impacted our Accounts Payable and Receivable department by making tracking and processing organized and streamlined. Previously we were having to track invoices and payments through emails and various formats. We are now able to connect each AP or AR invoice to the job and subcontractor, keep track of the billing due dates, and have all the paperwork generated from Jonas.

• By documenting and prioritizing issues that impact our customers, we're able to deliver fixes that prevent customer churn.
