Bluebeam Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bluebeam allows me to perform construction takeoffs digitally, mark up plans, modify pdf documents just to name a few of its benefits. Bluebeam basically combines Adobe like software with On Center’s On Screen takeoff software into one platform. Having access to both of these type programs combined into one, saves me time and makes me more productive.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bluebeam is a powerful tool/software program within the Construction industry. With the ability to scale and perform takeoffs of your blueprints that are in a pdf form is incredible. Combing the takeoff capabilities with being able to create and modify pdf documents is awesome. With these capabilities plus more, Bluebeam is a software program that I use daily.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Bluebeam to open all acrobat files and it allows me to make necessary changes. So far I don't have any issues that is why I love using it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bluebeam is suited for people who are collaborating because they can make changes, markups and notes to pdf files

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bluebeam does it all! It is always open on my laptop to modify and interact with PDF files. I use it to mark-up drawings, sign documents, do takeoffs, take measurements, and export files into Excel. It is one of the most flexible and useful tools I have at my disposal.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bluebeam caters to the Construction Industry and many of the features are geared towards them. Although anyone could find usefulness in the program, it is best suited for Architects, Engineers, and Contractors. Other PDF programs do not have the same features and I found Adobe to be clunky.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a Home Consultant with a custom home-building company, Bluebeam Revu helps me with everything from home layout modifications and measurements, to site plans, to cost estimation and more.

Likelihood to Recommend

I recommend Bluebeam to anyone in the construction or design industry and I don’t just mean architects. Even a salesperson, online marketer, or low level manager could use this to help them communicate visually with their customers, general public, or their internal team.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Bluebeam for several years in while working in the proposal management and development industry. It is a very comprehensive software to create and develop PDF files. There are tons of editing options that make this software way better than Adobe Acrobat, in my opinion. Especially, if you are an engineer, this software is best in editing and developing drawings as well.

It’s a very user-friendly software.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited within architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, especially construction project management, collaboration on large scale projects, bids and tenders process, quality control and inspection, design review and coordination etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Bluebeam to convert my CAD drawings to PDF and to share them with engineers, builders, suppliers, and clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

My subscription was renewed and, in my opinion, the renewal software was less useful than the original. I paid additional money and agreed to a subscription system I do not feel comfortable with, and have now lost 4 days worth of productivity and progress trying to get the matter resolved.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bluebeam Revu in our organization to keep our Project Managers, Installation team as well as our end-user clients all on the same page. This allows us to make changes and have a central platform for communication between all parties. We are able to share these documents and project plans without others needing licensing.

Likelihood to Recommend

We run multiple projects at the same time. Often times a single project manager may be responsible for 5-7 of these large projects at any given time. Bluebeam allows us to manage our jobs more productively without needing to hire more Project Managers. This saves our overhead and allows us to be more competitive on price.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bluebeam Revu is one of the best PDF markup softwares. It allows for quick edits with a wide range of tools to achieve your desired markup and collaborative editing where multiple people can work together at the same time on the same document. It manages large document sets, such as construction drawings, exceptionally.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bluebeam is great when a project team needs to review documents and mark them up for everyone to see everyone's edits. It allows multiple people to edit the file at the same time and allows users to designate comments as accepted/rejected/completed/canceled.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most of our whole organization uses Bluebeam Revu. Our main use is to review and edit documents such as plans for construction. It offers us much more flexibility and clarity versus other programs that we have used int the past. Additionally, its ease of sharing between users is definitely a plus because we can all be looking at the same documents in a much more timely manner.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well Suited:

1. For everything we do in our takeoff engineering department.

2. Ease of access to view and edit plans and documents.

3. Ease of sharing between our office and field staff.

4. Inviting to sessions - meaning that we can all teleconference and view the same exact document in real time with each other.

I cannot think of a scenario where it would not be useful in my situation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bluebeam Revu to add and track comments and markups on architectural drawing sets and other documents. We use Bluebeam Studio / Sessions to review documents with our consultants and clients. We also use Bluebeam drawing tools to create basic diagrams and other illustrations. We don't typically use more advanced features like conditional formatting, or exporting markups.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bluebeam Revu is great for quickly viewing PDFs. Its more advanced features such as collaborative sessions make it our go-to PDF viewer and editor, over Adobe Acrobat. The scale drawing and measurement tools make it a great program for reviewing and commenting on architectural drawings. It is less useful for documents that are primarily text, as the text editing features are somewhat lacking.
