Overall Satisfaction with Vista by Viewpoint

It is being used by our Project Management team and our Accounting team. It addresses cost accounting, project management, job cost, accounting, and contract management.
  • Accounts Payable: the review process is the best.
  • Cost Accounting: being able to cost to projects and forecast projects.
  • Job Billing: able to do time and material and progress billings.
  • RFI's and Submittals: hard to communicate with outside sources.
  • Service Management: I feel they are improving.
  • Overall: not a web-based software.
  • Organized company structure.
ProCore is a tool that can be used for submittals and RFIs that may work better than Vista. We selected Vista by Viewpoint for the cost accounting functions mostly.
Vista by Viewpoint is great for cost accounting as the database system is complex and flows from one module to another. You can write subcontracts, track them, cost them, pay them, and forecast them all within one software.
Submittals and RFIs are a big turn off for Vista, the ability to communicate with outside sources is not possible. In a tech world, Vista not being web-based is an issue for younger generations.
