Overall, the software's usability is very simple and easy to use. The one-click sign-on is very helpful in switching between all the different programs the spectrum has to offer. Programs are very easy to navigate through and the ability to save shortcuts to jump to reports or screens fast and easy is helpful.

I feel that through all applications used in our office, they all work together and make it easier for all to get what they need to do their jobs. If a project manager needs something from a specific job, I can create a report with specific parameters to get them the information that they need.

Viewpoint Spectrum is a very user friendly software. I can not imagine anyone who spends a few moments to days being trained not knowing how toi use it. It is very nice and runs smoothly in order for the most part. It is a great software for what we sue it for and We pretty much use very side of it with no complainers.

I believe it's the opposite of intuitive/user-friendly. You have to click 5 things to do 1 thing. I think nothing useful is visible - it's all hidden. The search function is abysmal. You end up wasting plenty of time when using it.

It is not the most easy system to learn when first starting out but once you get into the system you are able to find things easier. I think it could be more defined in certain areas and the fact that some areas are in different modules. IE Change Order REquest in the AR module but it is closer to the job cost relate activity.

It is a very comprehensive approach to tracking job cost, and accounting for construction projects. However, the UI is very bland and monotonous so it is easy to get lost in one of many drop down menus that all look the same as the last.

The system as a whole can be kept simple or made very complex depending on business needs. Between security setup and grouping by modules, it can be very straightforward for someone who only needs to complete a few tasks on a regular basis. However, once you begin to complicate the process, broadening responsibilities or trying to customize processes, the setup process can become difficult to navigate. Documentation isn't always clear on the possibilities available within the system, so a unique or uncommon scenario can be made more difficult than necessary.

Very user friendly, I would have given it at 10 but it's difficult to find things when looking for them from the site map (I have all my main folder's pinned).

If you are in it on a daily bases it's great. For our project management team it seems more cumbersome. Biggest compliant is it takes too many clicks to get anything done.

There's a little bit of a learning curve, but once you've been working in the system for a while, it becomes second nature. I would say that out of all of the other software that I've personally used, Spectrum has been the easiest one to pick up and learn quickly.

Spectrum has a lot of settings and filters. Some are easy and some aren't. Some things don't work like one would expect. Most software I have used has some things that work great and others that don't. Once you learn the issues, it is fairly easy to work around. The Team, HR, & Service Tech apps are very user friendly.

Some things in Spectrum are NOT that intuitive, but I think knowledge of the software just comes with time. There are still some things I need assistance with in Spectrum but I'm very comfortable with my day to day items now that I've been using it for years. However, if there is something I don't do often or haven't done before, I don't find the software to be that intuitive, I actually find the logic on some things to be a little weird but it's fine once I know how to do it.
