Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used as a project management software. It addresses communication between field and office, and producing necessary documents for signature with subcontractors.

Pros and Cons

Manages subcontracts well.
Manages PCI's well, keeps an accurate log and cuts down time in managing.
Manages RFI's well, keeps an accurate log and cuts down time in managing.

Bid management is archaic and needs to be reviewed and rewritten.
Punch list has been in beta for 18+ months, and still has issues that have not been resolved.
Security is a monster for a mid-sized company such as ours. Simplifying the security issues would be helpful.

Return on Investment

Improved workflow for RFIs, submittals, etc... have lessened our office staff by 1 or 2 employees.

We evaluated Procore, but couldn't get past their pricing structure. It just didn't make sense to pay more money to Procore, based off of the success of our company. We were more inclined to us a user based fee system that seemed to encompass all facets of construction.

Support Rating

CMiC has a fairly rigid support system, and it feels that support is responded as if they were reading from a script. They do respond in a fairly timely fashion, but I am not sure that all of their teams are on the same page at all times.

Likelihood to Recommend

CMiC appears to be geared toward the larger construction companies, that can afford to have full-time IT support staff. Mid sized companies may struggle with it, for lack of full-time support. We have not had good luck inviting collaborators to the platform and it seems to struggle when we try. There are other more intuitive platforms that may be better fit for the small customers.
