Overall Satisfaction with CMiC Construction Platform

All areas of business from accounting to project management to payroll. We replaced Viewpoint accounting with CMiC Construction Platform and much of what we were doing in Procore from a project management standpoint. We are in the process of getting rid of Procore entirely for CMiC Construction Platform. CMiC Construction Platform is a bit more powerfull in terms of reporting and meets out needs of a "one stop shop".
  • Custom Reporting
  • Access from anywhere
  • Journal Entries
  • Change Order management
  • Speed
  • In my opinion, converting is difficult to put it lightly
  • In my opinion, submitting cases can be slow to get solutions to issues that arise
  • Significantly cheaper then Procore with more features
  • Improved reporting flexibility
  • Easy to learn
  • good import and export funcitonality
CMiC Construction Platform is more powerful than Vista with more features...works well with GCPay. Procore did not have accounting which was a huge drawback and we had to ERP data back and forth which can be a pain especially when there were issues. The downside of being on CMiC Construction Platform cloud is that sometimes there are issues but CMiC Construction Platform tends to be quick at addressing them. Overall, the customization of CMiC Construction Platform makes it a worth while product.

CMiC Construction Platform is a good software for a one stop shop so to speak. We are very happy with the ability to do all of our project management functions like budgeting, cost reporting, subcontract and change order management, billing, etc. It is also a highly functioning accounting software. Previously we were using procore and viewpoint and the ERP was not always seemless so it is nice to have everything in one place. There are a lot of places where we can import and export data which makes life easier in many respects.

Using CMiC Construction Platform

66 - Project Management, accounting, compliance, administative tasks, other project management supporting roles.
1 - There are a handful of people who help support CMiC Construction Platform but for the most part there is only one person with extensive knowledge who can problem solve or troubleshoot issues.
  • project management
  • change order management
  • accounting
  • creating custom reports
  • drawings
  • document management
  • streamlining more processes as we gain further expertise
I can't even begin to imagine the thought of going through another software conversion so I do not think I would even consider switching at this point. It does everything we need it to do so I don't have any reason to recommend not renewing at this point in time.

CMiC Construction Platform Support

ProsCons
Problems get solved
Kept well informed
Support cares about my success
Quick Initial Response
Difficult to get immediate help
Need to explain problems multiple times
This is the first time I have ever heard of premium support, but would be interested in learning more!
Yes - Issues have always been resolved or at least a work around put in place, but there have been some frustrations with getting responses that were adequate. In my opinion, the chat functionality is hit or miss, depends on who you get. In my opinion, it can be scary the lack of knowledge on there. In my experience, they can really only help with very basic issues unfortunately.
It can be like pulling teeth but we have always been able to find solutions but in my opinion, it just can be frustrating how long it takes to get there sometimes.
