It is resource heavy and it is noticeable when it loads up. For projects that require submitting time spent, it would be nice if each file created would have an automatic timer.

It is a bit difficult to organize your work environment because it has a lot of options and tools. Also, there are some tools or features that i don't understand or i don't know went to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluebeam Revu does all the basic PDF editing, markups, page management, etc easily without fanfare. Nice and simple and very effective. And then it also allows us to do calibration and measurement, which is extremely useful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm sad that they've moved to a subscription-based model, but I'm not surprised. Everything is going that way these days. The one-time purchase system was great while it lasted! I still love the software though, and would still recommend it highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a licensing and upgrade path viewpoint, its a nightmare. You have to upgrade all of your licenses all at once from 20 version to bluebeam 21 (which stands for the year, they were just really slow to bring it out), and if you have existing licenses on previous versions, you cannot test out 21 with a few users without upgrading an entire group of licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing has become a nightmare so that they can turn it into a subscription model that will most likely double the price from the previous years models. Also upgrading has been a nightmare and just flat out doesnt work. Bluebeam support takes days to get back to you and is fairly unhelpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to assign people to each sheet. Architectural drawings are a very good tool to explore and use. Easy to invite other disciplines to the BlueBeam session. Making everyone able to see the changes instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of subscriptions are needed to unlock the full features. I wish it could be all at one price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fairly easy to learn, and I am sure I have not yet discovered many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if it was more "drafting savvy," that is, more coordinate geometry commands and tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
