Overall Satisfaction with Procore

We run everything Project Management through Procore, from Subcontracts and Submittals to Prime Contracts and Change Orders. We are still looking to bring more into the fold of Procore, with the goal of collaboration and less double entry from our staff internally. We love the aspect of workflows and seeing who is "Ball in Court", and that those users can log in and respond directly within Procore updating the whole team in real-time.
  • Stay current
  • User friendly
  • Support, even for end-users outside our company
  • Consistent upgrade schedule, they drop random ones in the middle of a day sometimes.
  • Update documentation on upgrades, guides still reference things that have changed 6 months ago.
  • Feedback community / Feature requests
DocuSign. All of our signatures, albeit Subcontract, Change Order, Submittals are done through DocuSign. When we finalize these tasks, the system automatically groups the coversheet and all attachments into a single pdf for signature. Acumatica. We are currently developing our own integration between Procore and Acumatica. There has been a transition between and Acumatica-built and Procore-built integration, but the Procore-built one is not ready in our opinion.
We came from ProLog, and the biggest thing here is collaboration. Whether it is from the field or external, ProLog had zero collaboration options. Our strongest contender when choosing Procore was Bim 360 (or Autodesk Cloud), we in the end decided this product wasn't fully developed and ready for our business.

Do you think Procore delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Procore's feature set?

Yes

Did Procore live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Procore go as expected?

No

Would you buy Procore again?

Yes

If you are a generic construction company, Procore will work great. If you are already customizing other software beyond their scope, you might hit a wall with Procore's rigid structure. One thing that limits us is the limitation on the number of custom fields per table, and this is not a consistent number across the board.

Using Procore

Very user friendly. With the cookie-cutter mentality, you can work within Procore from company to company with minimal learning curve. Sometimes we want to push the envelope of customizability, but this would restrict the ease of use.

Sometimes the drilldown to find what your looking for can become tedious, but the fact that you can get to what you are looking for by drilling down is worth it.
