Overall Satisfaction with Viewpoint Spectrum

We recently switched to Viewpoint Spectrum and are currently using accounting and project management software because of its simplicity and the reports it can provide. We have been very pleased with the process, from the sales team to the implementation and install team to the support team, which helped us specialize the system to our needs.
  • Implementation
  • Providing assistance.
  • Simplicity of navigating through the programs.
  • Support creating new reports.
  • Support merging spectrum and powerfab.
  • Powerfab installation.
  • Improved financial reporting.
  • Improved job cost reports.
  • Lack of customization of report.
Overall, the software's usability is very simple and easy to use. The one-click sign-on is very helpful in switching between all the different programs the spectrum has to offer. Programs are very easy to navigate through and the ability to save shortcuts to jump to reports or screens fast and easy is helpful.
Originally, we planned to use Spectrum and Trimble Construction One. This was easy and streamlined between the two different systems, and workflows were working through them. Currently, we are implementing Powerfab, and the project management system there is going to provide a better solution for our needs. Spectrum needs to find a way to streamline that process better.
Spectrum, when compared to Simply accounting, is better. It has more options, and it is easy to navigate. Spectrum meets our needs better. Spectrum, when compared to Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, is better. Spectrum has better connectivity between its project management system compared to Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate. Spectrum, when compared to CMIC, I believe they are equal. CMiC has a better project management system, but Spectrum has an easier accounting system to navigate.
