ProEst Pros and Cons

This software was easy to learn and I was impressed with its ease of access and use. Anywhere you have internet, you can work on this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates can cause hiccups sometimes but are generally resolved within a few days of the update release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lot of features and functionality, however, you need to self train yourself on all the ins and outs which would take years to accomplish to get the program to work to it's full capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of nuances, particularly the report writer, building formulas within databases, the program is very "fidgety" in numerous aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can write your own calculation formula to set variables and adjust them according to the difference of each project.High degree of visualization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The order of uploading drawings cannot be changed, and the order of Takeoffs cannot be adjusted. I generally like to post similar items nearby, but after the missing items are newly created, they can be placed at the bottom of the form, and cannot be placed near similar items.

ProEst has a lot of great functions. We are finding new ways to use the software every day. Once the databases are built, it is smooth sailing. We find our estimates to be much more accurate. We have also started using this as our proposal generation software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no assembly substitution feature. This would be very helpful. The only way to change out an area is to do a new takeoff as an alternate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ProEst is very easy to set up and user friendly, it integrates well with our ERP Acumatica, in respect to Projects and Contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting creator is too simple. We were not happy with the priont out result, we had to create a proposal report print out in Acumatica. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like ProEst because it provides a complete estimate with a proper count once you complete your take-off. I enjoy the ease of uploading plans and intuitive way to navigate the controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One pitfall is that large projects that require extensive take-off begin to lag as the file fills up. i wish the tech team could fix this issue as it becomes frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number one thing I love about this software is the sorfing types. You can sort it however you want it and add as many as you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bid day is not fully developed in the online version, especially in the reporting section. There is a lot that can be improved here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has many tools you can utilize as an estimator. I like that you can takeoff, send plans to subs and create your bid day spreadsheet all in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The takeoff function could be better for ease of use I believe and it lags a little on entering prices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration between takeoff and estimate. It definitely makes the estimating progress quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The assemblies are limited to the items, meaning that there is no chance to add more items to the assembly once its been added to the estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Takeoff abilities are helpful and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I like the least about Pro-Est is that it seems like every time I get used to a certain format they change things up. I understand making upgrades, but the basic format and layout shouldn't change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
