• The program has a fairly antiquated user interface such that someone working in it may not feel like they are working with advanced software.
• Sage Estimating has absolutely no remote access capability outside running it in a Citrix/RDP environment so users have to be using a fat/full client vs. any hopes of access on a mobile device.

Sage's support of Estimating is adequate though frankly we rarely need it. Outside of more complex operations such as upgrades and installation problems the program itself is so straightforward that we do not usually have any "issues" and questions that are more about usability can easily be answered in online forums. We trust Sage's capability to answer these questions if needed but rarely use it.

Due to recommendation by my very known person and also explore fuctions properly which was quite suitable for our business.

We have been using Sage Estimating for close to two decades now. Changing from a base software is always hard as the incumbent package always has an advantage over any new comers. In this case we have considered both Procore Technologies and RedTeam software as an alternate to not only our estimating practices but the whole Project Management suite. In the case of Procore although its mobile capability is far superior the pricing point on it is so high that we had to move on from consideration of it. Our review of RedTeam suggested the software not mature enough for our needs. Sage Estimating's days are numbered if they do not develop better mobility in the application but for now it is the the go-to package for mature GC's.

• Quick Bid has had a huge ROI for our company. We would not have been able to grow and take on our large projects without it.
• The efficiency added for the estimators allows us to take on more projects with less staff.

Incentivized

• Turnaround on Estimates are very quick and the ability to copy and existing estimate for similar projects is priceless
• The tool is easy to learn and can be picked up quickly by new hires (many have at least used SAGE in college)
