Overall Satisfaction with Bluebeam

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.

Pros

  • Creating PDF files
  • Editing PDFs
  • Editing engineering drawings
  • Collaboration software
  • Best for AEC industries

Cons

  • It lags and crashes especially when handing very large files
  • High CPU and memory usage
  • The interface can be overwhelming for new users due to its wide array of features
  • Speed of opening and saving large files is sometimes less
  • Expensive pricing model
  • Increased efficiency and productivity
  • Enhanced collaboration
  • Improved quality and accuracy
  • Cost savings
  • Negative impacts can be initial costs, learning curve, implementation challenges
Bluebeam has more enhanced features than Adobe.
