Product Details

What is Vista?

Vista by Viewpoint is a construction accounting and ERP software that is designed to help contractors manage all areas of their business. According to the vendor, Vista enables the centralization of information with visibility, providing secure, fully-interactive data across the organization. From pre-construction through project closeout, Vista’s project management provides project insight, backed by up-to-date data and workflows. With job costing, service, equipment, HR and Payroll management placed at the user's fingertips, Vista shows whether or not a project is on track or behind, and makes users aware of potential issues as work occurs rather than weeks or even months later. The solution helps manage subcontractors, mitigate risks and complete projects on-time and on-budget.

Vista Is Great!

Support is always kind and answering tickets and questions as fast as they can, I feel they truly want to see a resolution to your problem. They are well-trained and know what they are talking about in construction and software. Love meeting them in-person at conferences, they are very available to answer any questions.

I think Vista support really depends on who you get to call you back. I have placed many support calls over the years, sometimes they are very helpful other times they are not. Everyone that I have talked with has always been very professional and friendly, it maybe that they just don't know how to fix the issue. Overall I would say they do a good job.

Support has deteriorated greatly than what it was years ago when we joined. We always used to get a call back same day and within an hour or so for critical issues. Sometimes now it's no response or very delayed. Knowledge of the support team is also lacking. Many issues we figure out workarounds ourselves instead of calling.

The few times we've had to use VP support, they were terribly slow to respond and didn't seem to understand the product any better than some of our staff.

The customer service gets back to you within a reasonable time. They ensure you are satisfied with the solution or advise different solutions or additional resources. They followed up with a knowledge base information sheet. The issues with the solutions are tracked so if you need to go and revisit the problem or share with someone in the office.

Online customer portal is not great as it can be overwhelming and written by other users not Viewpoint support. Any support offered by Viewpoint support team usually incurs a cost. We also had no great luck with custom reports... took an extremely long time to generate and it all depends on support team you get assigned to. There is no Viewpoint created guide book - lots of updates which is great if you understand the product updates and/or someone from support reached out to help with them. Kind of on your own...

The support is good for the most part, but [we] have had delays in getting certain issues resolved. We have had a third-party company come in to assist us with some learning skills and issues, and then we have had the same company, later on, help with training on certain areas, such as reports.

I think I have had the worst experience with the cloud-based support. I feel that the first person who contacts us, isn't as knowledgeable as needed sometimes. If it is something over their head, they should elevate it. I had a critical case that shut down one of our programs and it took a week before I even got the first email back about what my issue was.

Their chat option is very helpful for quick, simple questions. Their critical support typically gets back to me within 20-30 minutes, but their non-critical support can sometimes be a little slow to get back with you. Over the past couple of years (2020-2021), their online chat support has gone downhill. This started when they added the "bot". It doesn't open until close to 9 AM, and when you do start chatting with the bot you have no idea if there is an actual person available to talk to. You can literally get all the way through the chat with the bot, be transferred to a "person" and there's no one in the queue so you get a case opened with a base priority. Very disappointing.

Support was very poor for a long time, I have noticed this year that we are getting a better response. It is still not up to where it was 5 or so years ago but it has come a long way. I normally get a response from a ticket the same day now instead of 13 days later. The follow up is much faster.

Though I have not interfaced with Vista by Viewpoint's support team, I know my office has, and it seems like changes or issues are addressed or resolved in a timely manner. It also seems like the program has the flexibility to integrate or be changed to become a custom solution for our company.
