"Flexible PDF Editing with Powerful Live Commenting and Markup"

5/5

What do you like best about Bluebeam?

it is very flexible in terms of editing pdf documents. it also has live commenting or markup capabilities which other pdf editing tools don't have and is very useful especially for pdfs with 100's of sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

there hasnt been anything wrong that i have experienced with bluebeam. i have always recommended it in comparison to other pdf editing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bluebeam solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a simple way to track which markups or comments were already completed and which ones still weren’t. Bluebeam makes this easy by letting you assign different status categories to markups, so I can quickly filter, review, and confirm what’s done and what still needs attention. it also allows for user to apply visibility of completed and uncompleted markups to unclutter the pdf document.

"Bluebeam Streamlines Construction Plan Reviews with Accurate Markups and Real-Time Collaboration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Bluebeam?

What I like most about Bluebeam is how much more efficient it makes construction document review and collaboration. The markup, measurement, and takeoff tools are very accurate and straightforward to use, and features like Studio Sessions let multiple team members review plans together in real time. It also keeps drawings well organized, makes it easy to track revisions clearly, and saves a huge amount of time during project coordination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

The main downside is that Bluebeam can come with a bit of a learning curve for new users, especially when it comes to the more advanced tools and settings. It can also feel expensive compared to basic PDF software, but for construction management and other professional use, the added functionality and the time savings make it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bluebeam solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bluebeam solves the challenge of managing and reviewing construction drawings efficiently. Instead of dealing with paper plans or scattered markups, it allows me to quickly measure quantities, add clear annotations, and track revisions all in one place. It also improves collaboration between project teams by keeping everyone on the same updated set of documents through Studio Sessions. Overall, it saves time, reduces errors, and makes project coordination much smoother from preconstruction through the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Bluebeam is that it is very easy to use and practical. It has a wide range of tools that make it a very useful software for my work as an electrical estimator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

What I don’t like about Bluebeam is that sometimes the documents turn blank while my markups remain on the page. I don’t lose the work, but it’s frustrating to have to transfer everything again. Also, the program occasionally crashes, and lately I’ve been losing all my default tools and have to recreate them from scratch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Easy to Use, with Minor Zoom Navigation Issues"

5/5

What do you like best about Bluebeam?

Bluebeam offers a range of benefits, but my personal favorite is the erase content tool. This feature is especially useful when I need to create new plans based on existing ones. After becoming familiar with Bluebeam, I found it very straightforward to use, and it’s also easy to teach others for company-wide implementation. Another feature I rely on daily is Bluebeam Studio, which allows multiple people to work on the same file simultaneously with real-time updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

The thing that I like the least about Bluebeam is that when you are zoomed in all of the way and move your cursor to the side of the screen you move all over the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
