    RedTeam Software
    Best for tracking projects, both big and small. Knowing what was budgeted and the actual expenses for a project is extremely useful. Also, it's helpful that you can review the amounts at all stages of the project to allow for corrections if the budget is being exceeded. It is extremely useful as a central depository for information.

    Sage Estimating was initially created for the construction industry and many of its current users use it to estimate buildings, but it has adapted quite well for the oil and gas industry. If the user is willing to invest the time and energy to develop and maintain their database, I can see it working for any industry. It is very easy to adjust and adapt the database as estimating methods and project designs change. As an example, our accounting department sometimes changes the way projects are reporting in our accounting software. Because I can go through our 9000 line item database in a couple of days, I am always ahead of the curve and can report my estimates in the format they require.

    • 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.

    Extremely like to renew our use of Fieldlens by RedTeam. Program is very intuitive and easy to use. It helps keep focus on the project. Anyone can look and see the actual vs budgeted costs to determine if project is on track. Easy to train others on RedTeam with minimal oversight.

    Usability
    RedTeam Software
    Extremely easy to use. Very user-friendly. Help is always available, but the program is very intuitive. Does not require extensive training to get someone up and running. We have a lot of people in the field that use Red Team. It is easy to explain over the phone how to use the system or to help them navigate the program if they have an issue

    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.

    Procore is a different beast and solves different company issues. We use Procore to manage the external part of our construction business. Field superintendents upload progress notes and pictures into Procore. However, RedTeam is our main project resource as it can also handle our budgeting concerns. Both are easier to use but RedTeam definitely has the advantage.

    • Manupulation of existing data is very user friendly thanks to "Database Manager".
    • A bit pricey
