Overall Satisfaction with Procore
I am a project manager for a construction/development company. I am currently using Procore to manage two Projects. I use it for tendering, daily reporting, safety, drawing, and document management. In General, compared to other construction management programs I have used, I find Procore slow, not very flexible. for sending out drawings to contractors and consultants it is slow and cumbersome. For each drawing you want to send you need to download and wait for an email for each file—very time consuming, and the link you receive is not labeled. Their tech support people are friendly but not that helpful. The safety inspection tool works ok. The daily log can be used to record lots of data which I don't find helpful. I do like the photos. The RFI and Task function annoys people more than anything and I find it more time consuming than other ways of managing. Overall, Procore is like a multi-tool for Project management, none of which work very well.
- The safety inspection tool works well and is relatively easy to use.
- The bidding tool works reasonably well to use.
- Photos and being able to categorize photos.
- Slow and not very flexible.
- Issuing drawings from Procore is slow and time consuming.
- Creating tasks and RFIs is time consuming to set up and manage.
- Scheduling tools are difficult to work with.
- Has not improved efficiency.
- Has not saved time.
- Has not improved our company and project objectives.
Microsoft Projects for scheduling. But I find it slower to respond if I am working on the schedule outside of Procore. Generally, everything you do in Procore takes a little bit longer with more added steps and more managing.
I don't think there has been any impact on the speed at which daily logs are entered. The main advantage is it is easier to go back to previous daily logs to review things like manpower, photos, and weather.
No impact whatsoever.
