Trimble Construction One Reviews - Page 7

Spectrum is an all-around program that handles every aspect of our business with one system. Every aspect of our business are able to utilize the different features of the program to help streamline our work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Custom reporting is either cumbersome to do yourself or very costly to have Viewpoint write a custom report. Being a small business it is difficult to set aside the time to write the reports with Crystal Reporting but at the same time it is expensive to get Viewpoint or another company to do it for us as well.

It's construction software that encompasses all aspects of the business. It has modules for everything from equipment monitoring to service work. It's a one-catch-all accounting software for construction companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support sometimes lacks. Being forced to move to the cloud is not very comforting. Pricing is somewhat expensive, especially when being told we have to move to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for construction accounting and job cost functionality. Our company used quickbooks prior and found it lacking in many areas compared to what Vista offers. Highly recccomend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More costly than a quickbooks type program. Has good metrics if you upgrade to the online cloud version but also that is more costly and we haven't upgraded yet due to cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vista is a program that is relatively easy to use and understand once you get the hang of it. It allows you to tackle AP, AR, Payroll, and other programs for accounting use. Vista has many helpful reports when looking for transactions or additional varying information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to Vista being on the cloud, it halts work if the network is down on either side at any point. Some programs are slow regardless due to how the system works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My new favorite addition to the Employee Portal is Automatic Invoicing. It's a game-changer that has made it much easier to tackle the incoming invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Vista has made it easier to log in with one login ID, navigating through the 4 Viewpoint Customer Success Resources is still tricky. I would like to see something that is more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spectrum is an ERP system with a focus on the construction industry.

Spectrum makes it easy to get data from the database via infolink.

Spectrum is continuously working to improve the platform's overall functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spectrum is lacking in Materials Management, Human Resources, and Equipment modules.

However, they are working to make improvements.

The other con of Spectrum is the design of parts of its database. Some tables are hard to find as they were created under the old module name and since have changed the modules name so not all tables start with the same prefix.

The other issue with the tables is that the values that they use. For example, the year column for 1 table will be 4 digits, while the year in another table will be a 2 digit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Accounts Payable module, specifically AP Unapproved Invoice Entry. Being able to drag and drop invoices straight from emails into Viewpoint Teams and then upload them to AP Unapproved Invoice Entry has been a game changer. I also appreciate AP Vendor Drilldown, as it allows you to see any AP payments made to any vendor and allows for easy invoice/vendor research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be some glitches with Vista as it throws up a lot of error messages and sometimes takes forever to load. It is very easy to accidentally change information in most modules. For example, I have experienced a lag issue and think I'm typing in the filter bar but am instead replacing important info in one of the line items without realizing and next thing I know my info is overwritten.

There are multiple modules to choose from, which you can select based on your company's needs.

You are able to add user-defined fields if needing more specific details for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports are the downside. Anytime you want a change made or a report made specific for your company, it costs. If you are familiar with Crystal Reports, you can write custom reports. And Viewpoint warns that the custom reports may not be supported with any update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When first learning what Vista is and how to utilize the application, it can seem very overwhelming and there are a lot of moving parts to it, but that is the nature of ERPs. This application is great and as a systems administrator, I love it. Support is usually on the ball and pretty responsive, their knowledge base answers most of my questions and their Viewpoint Academy provides great training content. We are all about automation and making our jobs easier, and we love how this application can cater towards that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would appreciate more training/videos/classes for IT administrators that covers all aspects of being an admin for this software. There are bits and pieces of training, but nothing that really covers it all. It took time to learn everything I've know about Vista and training new upcoming admins with proper videos/classes would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
