Overall Satisfaction with Bluebeam Revu
Bluebeam is used across the our whole company most particularly though it is used by the project management teams. Bluebeam is our go-to PDF viewer and editor and it is used for RFIs and submittals as well as contract viewing and marking up. I have never used a PDF viewer and editor that does as much as Bluebeam or does what it does half as well.
- Clear and easy viewing of project plans.
- In depth and extremely detailed mark up tools and sketching tools.
- Excellent help and support services.
- The sketch to scale tools are minimal and could be expanded.
- The group editing and selection is not the easiest to use.
- I think drawing tools could be improved in placing and editing line dimensions.
- Bluebeam saves time on plan distributions and updating, freeing management time for more attention to managing the project.
- Bluebeam saves us money as it can do the jobs that normally would require multiple programs to complete the various tasks.
- Bluebeam allows for better coordination between individuals in the office unifying our company.
I have used Adobe PDF viewers and editors and they do their job alright and I was able to easily use them. But when it comes down to which program better suits the work I do in the construction Bluebeam is far more focused in its design to meet my needs and uses in the construction industry. I think this could be similar in many industries but my experience has been limited to construction.
