Project Wise is the worst product I use on a day to day basis. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2025 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** Project Wise is a great time waster. It's like file explorer but worse! Are you in a flow and need to open a file? Great news when using Project wise it takes 10 times longer than normal, this offers a great time to look at anything that wastes time. When PW is at its best a major inconvenience and time waster. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** PW support is anything but competent. In the last week PW has been down for 4 days, but it was up for the weekend (when nobody is working) just to die again on Monday. Bentley's incompetence is engrained in every program they make. If it weren't for cheep government agencies continuing to shovel money to Bentley they would be out of business, and the world would rejoice. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** It does nothing but cause problems. ### 2.

And each time you need to login. And loading time is too much. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefits of the project wise is that you can share any kind of the file example revit, idgn, dwg etc. It is easy to setup to work within your budget and resources.

It reduces the structure of folders because you can add a lot of metadata/information to files; hence all the files can be stored in a single folder. The searchability is very good; you can use a lot of parameters to search files. The user interface is also good, and you can modify it as per your requirements. ProjectWise allows to track the updates to the files, that's great! There are lot of cool features in there. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** What I dislike about ProjectWise explore is that it is slow, and this can be a significant issue. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** I would recommend it based on the features and benefits it provides. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it as a cloud-based data source for all our files.

Very helpful tool to keep on track the progress of your project **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Very very very slow, taking too much time to download, upload specially if the file is heavy. We can estimate that you as a user will have to waste 20% of your time just for that which is really uncomfortable **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Drafting drawings, uploading trackers, signing documents and reports. The biggest benefit is that you keep track of everything and anything which is very helpful in big scale projects. ### 14.

But once you are thorough with the terms and tools the work will become much easier. But be ready with a good internet connection. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am using PW for the last 2 years as a common data environment. We use dwg and dgn files for our regular works which is supported without any problem ### 20.

Using ProjwctWise as a Work Management System **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Timothy "Scott" C. | Supervisor of BSDS Team in Gas Operations, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2020 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** The best part of ProjectWise is its flexibility. It can be configured to do a lot of functionality that other system just cannot do. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Support isn't the greatest at times. This doesn't happen very often, but it will happen eventually. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** Best product on market for document management. More mature than most products and half the cost of others. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest issue that ProjwctWise fixes is collaboration between teams on a project. This includes internal and external teams. Once this is resolved, there are tremendous benefits that are realized. A good example is live data for all who have access to the project. ### 22. ProjectWise connects the world **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2020 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** I have using ProjectWise from last 1.5years, and I believe ProjectWise plays a vital role in all Engineering Corporate Industries which deals with projects across the globe by simplifying the way we deliver the projects and removes the ambiguity in the client or the site team about "WHICH IS THE FINAL DELIVERABLE". ProjectWise reduces the additional task of maintaining a record of the deliverables and one can happily remove "SS" folder from their local/network drives as ProjectWise provides an option to archive the previous copy and thus by creating a new revision. Especially for a person in a role of Project Manager or Team Manager ProjectWise comes handy due to its dynamic nature as it helps to find out the total revisions happened in the Project and also get a record of whose has worked on a particular file. The level of control (to approve/reject a file) is a great feature which lets a project to decide on who actually can approve a final after the required Check & Review process before it goes out to the Principal client and thus making sure that every item that goes out is Technically sound. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Every software has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, ProjectWise (let's call it PW) is way ahead with its advantages and I believe Bentley should consider feedback from the users and try to overcome the glitches in the software. Being a regular user of this software I have noticed some bugs which are listed below. 1. Sometimes PW doesn't let the user to open Excel/Word documents directly from the application. We have to export the document to local drive and import it back on to PW after making changes. 2. Bentley should consider including an option in PW to send an email notification to all or some specific users in a project once a file is updated. Maybe it should at least let the user select the type of revision made to a document and list of disciplines that may get effected as a result of the update he made. This will ring alarm bells to the other disciplines and helps them to make the necessary updates to their files. 3. Not sure if this feature is already available in PW, if not PW should let user to take a print of all the file/revision history **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** The following are some of the Outstanding features of ProjectWise which makes it the Market leader 1. Advanced & Dynamic Document control 2. Ease of access of files to anyone sitting anywhere in the world 3. Reduces the number of emails that fly around with numerous attachments 4. Hassle free delivery to anyone anywhere across the globe 5. No limitation of File size & Type 6. Unique ID for every deliverable 7. Gives Opportunity to divide files based on their Nature (M3 models/M2 models/Renditions/Documents/Registers so on...,) 8. Gives flexibility to the user to login with multiple accounts and deal with different projects 9. Reduces ambiguity by maintaining proper Revision Control 10. Level of Control - lets the Project decide role/control a specific user can be given I strongly recommend use of ProjectWise for Multi Disciplinary Projects in Construction Industry for a smooth and hassle management of deliverables. ### 23.

We can easily share our files to other and without any data loss and it provides us complete security of our data. Projects can easily be found after years. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** It is very slow and gets down when we store something continuously or while sharing something to other. It takes a lot of time and sometimes gets down so all the work get paused and it takes time in responding back after getting down. Sometime our work doesn’t get saved and we think it has done but in actual it is not. It takes time to load files and when our file is huge it takes more time. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** It provides us easy sharing in In-house projects and better collaboration between teams. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our company needed a project management tool for teams so we started using projectwise and it is very flexible to use and help us a lot in team collaboration. We have saved a lot of our projects from past and structured so many files and whenever we work on any similar project from past we easily find it on projectwise and access it. It does not only provide us document sharing but many more. ### 26. One of the best collaboration and project management tools **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nadia Samantha M. | Human Resources Manager, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2019 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** I love how it works in a project that makes the function of a large library where I can manage the data of my project in a more efficient way, it allows me to share with other people the necessary data to complete the project in a good way. The collaboration is something so simple after its implementation in the cloud, since it allows to work and edit a document at the same time according to its recorded versions, it makes revisions of the projects more fluid, since my colleagues from other branches and companies different from mine, we can share and edit files of different projects and it allows me to send by email the links of the file, in general, it is easier to work and what I like most is that the updates of each file They will be available to all those who obtain the addresses of the folder. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** It is usually very slow when it comes to uploading files, and more when they are integrated into the autocad and civil 3D platform, because it takes time to log in and locate the folder I am accessing. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** It is a very good tool to provide in one place all those important files within the projects, ProjectWise is very good and practical and more for construction projects, which I invite the whole community to opt for this software. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** I collaborate with teamwork better with more efficiency and with the fluid, as well as with the same objective. Up to date, it helps me to be able to track and manage all my projects as a collaboration and storage tool, they are two functions in a single software. ### 27.

Engineering team is able to manage entire project team as per approved design / model and also able to keep track of your contractor's and labor's work reports with daily logs. ### 30. Projectwise - **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arpana S. | Senior Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2018 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** ProjectWise is like the online server which can be accessed from any part of the world and by any user who has access to it. The uploads and downloads using ProjectWise is very easy and quick. We can also get the backup of the tasks previously done. It also gives the user details who created and updated the file. This helps to keep the projects organized as there is no limitation in creating the number of folders. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** One big disadvantage is if the ProjectWise server is down then we cannot work on the project as we will be unable to open or work on the files and it takes a lot of time to get it repaired which results in loss of project time. Sometimes the projectWise will be really slow which affects the productive time. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** People who are working on project drives can definitely migrate to Projectwise as this is user friendly and secure. There is no restrictions on the number of users and this can accessed globally. Large files can be easily downloaded or uploaded to projectwise. This can be used for multiple projects with ease. This also gives the details of the user who created, modified or uploaded the file. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Major business benefit is that it can be accessed globally and anyone can work on the file uploaded in projectwise. Also it is a secure server where there is no issue of files being hacked or deleted. ### 31. Terrific idea, mediocre performance **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Evan M. | Staff Professional I, Civil Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2019 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** It's an excellent way to connect an entire company together and put all their data housed under one roof. Multiple offices or regions and can access each others client's information, projects and data simply by navigating through the same interface. File organization is very similar to your typical Windows explorer display and operates similarly. Recovering files, running audits and scans on project folders is a helpful tool included as well. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** My experience led to slow performance of our major design projects. It was difficult to work on projects that were complicated in nature and had multiple files and folders and data associated to them within the projectwise network. the software is heavily reliant on your internet speed as well. If your office or company does not have decent internet speed, then your connection to projectwise documents will be slower because of it; keep this in mind if you have remote workers at their homes instead of the office as well. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** I would first consider the size and complexity of your project before using projectwise. If you have several large files and copious amounts of data thats tied to the project, combined with the complexity of your team and who will be involved. That could determine if using a software is right for you. However, the program is easy to use and adapt to. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** its a great way to share files between teams that are separated, or if multiple teams are working on the same project. ### 32. Clunky Software **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2019 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** Enables you to securely share documents over the internet (when it works) **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Feels very old and out of date. Slow processing times, and not very user friendly. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** Dont use it, try to find a better more modern software **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Synergy across companies ### 33. Best common platform for file sharing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Libu K. | Assistant Engineer, Highways & Drainage,UK, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** Provides best nd fast way of file sharing for the projects that we work on. Makes the file sharing for project easily to colleagues working in our fellow branch offices and even for those who are working in the same project from different companies. Can upload any file formats that we are working on. easy to send file links through mails. Working and sharing for approval from the corresponding field simultaneously makes it a best platform for designers. Its user friendly. The option to provide the file information/ description, titles etc makes it more easy and clear. Daily updates for the file will be available for those who have access to the folder location. More secure and safe platform for keeping the files safe and secure. Autocad and Civil 3D integration for projectise will help you access the regular updates done on the Xrefs that are used in the drawings. Doesnt need license permissions even if you are working from a different server. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Sometimes the software works bit slow while loading and copying out the files. Takes time to login to the corresponding folder location. This depends on the internet speed mainly. Can be little more user friendly with the menu. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** Safe and secure platform and easily accessible **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Will reduce the use of old xref files and everyone will get proper udpates on a regular basis, so the related sectors can have access to the latest files ### 34.

The ability to open new CAD and other documents directly from a prescribed template. **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** Clunky and overly complex menu and interface. Lack of direct interface with GIS software. Multiple methods of doing the same thing are confusing Uploading document menu has many windows and can be slow. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** Be wary of using ProjectWise for multi-disciplinary projects, the software works well with CAD and .pdfs, but not with all other packages such as GIS. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Meeting BIM requirements on large projects, partcwhere multiple organisations need to access and work together in one environment. ### 35.

Even when our server room was on fire we were up and running in a day **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** I dislike the speed sometimes. Sometimes there is a really slow connection time.

Great Project Collaboration Tool In One Place **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2018 **What do you like best about ProjectWise?** ProjectWise is a master at organizing large amounts of files into one area within the program. I love that it can do this efficiently. It also lets you share data with anyone, anywhere in the world (not just the United States). Collaboration is made easy, thanks to the implementation of the cloud. The overall system is incredibly useful (especially for those who are just learning). **What do you dislike about ProjectWise?** The program can be daunting to use for the beginning user. Watching tutorials on YouTube and reading online help forums will be of great help. The load time is also a little sluggish at times, but that just comes with the territory when you are storing large amounts of information. **Recommendations to others considering ProjectWise:** My recommendation to you is to try the ProjectWise program out! It allows you to collaborate with others nationally and internationally (a major positive, in my opinion). If your team is global, you need to check into this software. It is a powerhouse program with large abilities. **What problems is ProjectWise solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have loved using this program simply because of how simple it is to share flies with anyone.
