Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Procore is being used as the primary project management tool/ document management tool for all projects within our organization. The specific modules within Procore used vary from project to project, but every project is Submittals and RFI's to manage those processes. Drawings, Specifications, Meetings, Inspections, and Observations are the most commonly used modules across the company. Our customers, design teams, and subcontractors all use the program on a regular basis.

Pros

  • Drawing and Specification management. Auto hyperlinking and revision history are easy to use processes, and are extraordinarily valuable tools.
  • Custom Reports is a great, versatile tool, that can provide the exact information needed, for meetings, team member reference, or customer information.
  • Submittal and RFI management are solid tools that continue to evolve as the needs of fast paced projects increase.

Cons

  • Some RFI's and Submittal's require concurrent review from multiple users. My understanding is that Procore is currently working on this ability.
  • Schedule module does not "talk" to other modules. If a submittal is linked to a schedule activity, it does not auto populate material procurement dates.
  • Assemble crashes when overloaded. Viewing of BIM model by team members is currently completed outside Procore.
  • Allows us to focus all members of the team by creating reports that reflect the most important issues.
  • Keeps the most current documents in the hands of the teams in the field (tablets are contractually required for our subs foreman for this reason)
Compared to others I've used Procore has the best UI, and is the most intuitive. The tools themselves do everything you need them to do, and they do it rather well. Procore is a growing company, and if they deliver on all they've set out to accomplish they will have an excellent tool that sets a new standard.
As a project management tool, Procore is currently the best looking and most user-friendly tool I've used. Leveraging only the basic construction management tools (drawings, RFI's, Submittals, etc.) feels like an under use of the product, but those are the modules that are currently great, and very useful for our company. The other capabilities I have limited experience with, and do not function properly either because of the rigid processes within our company, or because Procore has not fully developed the module.
