Great software for analyzing data and trends while still being pretty easy to use.
The ability to create a custom info link reports enable you to create virtually any report using the data you have in Spectrum that will auto-refresh with just one click of a button.
They have a fantastic support network and I the few times I have had to contact support, I was directed to someone very knowledgeable that was able to find a solution.

Cons

There will most likely be customizations made for a particular niche site to integrate with their system.
Product reviews, up sells, and cross sells are not built into the website functionality. Customization to the offerings would be needed.
Very little documentation or open source resources on instructions or development in regards to the website design and integration with the ERP.

It's sometimes hard to control the document imaging window. It doesn't stop when you release the cursor. Have to go to top of screen and click in one of the bars to lock it in place.
In AP invoice entry, you have to slow down when entering job and phase number. Doesn't keep up with the speed of the person entering.

Viewpoint Spectrum 3.8

Based on 49 answers

Support has not been great since merging with Viewpoint. I've sent several letters up the chain about this. It has made me want to leave the software altogether on more than one occasion. I spend a lot of time on hold, and on numerous occasions now we've sat around for days waiting for a response only to be told the person on the phone never actually made a ticket for that, or that the online system didn't alert them of our case. We used to be able to call and get someone immediately and have the problem solved by a knowledgeable person. Now it's hit or miss and you could be on hold forever. The online training academy is nice but it's still not in-depth enough for me to not have to sit and babysit someone through a training period.

If this is someone's first ERP implementation, I strongly suggest you ask for services to help implement. Ask for training on every aspect of the implementation. Make sure this is put into the overall ERP quote

S2K offered a system that could be used by various departments. There were modules for accounting, customer service, order entry, and web development. The ability to customize the website integration was a plus. S2K allows the option to have products in different warehouse locations. This allowed us to better manage inventory and see in real time what the stock status was

I have previously used Sage Masterbuilder, another construction industry software. This has been a number of years ago. The company I am working for already had Spectrum and have been using it for as long as it has been around when it was known as Forefront. Based on conversations I've had with the personnel that were here at the time of purchase, Spectrum clicked off all the boxes they were looking for.

[In my opinion,] it takes at LEAST twice as long to do our jobs now.
[I feel like] we are paranoid about something not being printed correctly because of [what I believe are] buggy text fields.
[In my experience,] we still have to refer to a physical file cabinet with paper, even though a main point of switching was to go paperless.
[In our experience,] screens can now be "locked", so we can't see something if our coworker is also looking at it.
[I believe that] the financial hit our company took from this switch was astronomical. [In my opinion:] Beware!
