We have not compared other plans since the boss prefers this program from personal experience. But from using this program for 2 years I can see why we don't need to compare. Why fix something that isn't broken? It gets the job done, yes we might run into some issues but I feel like with all companies that can happen.

Procore is much more user friendly and better for project management however there are features in e-Builder that I do not have access to that probably make it more attractive for owners as they deal with financial management of projects.

We didn't select e-Builder, it was selected by our customer. It was their preferred method to keep items secure and be able to communicate with various contractors across great distances. It seems to work for all of us as a good gateway for sharing information in a safe, organized manner.

The previous program our client used was not user-friendly; documents wouldn't load properly and it was hard to find the project file or document you were looking for. It was harder to collaborate with other companies or entities than it is with e-Builder so switching has been a great improvement.
