"Intuitive Markups and Smooth Collaboration for Faster Drawing Reviews"

What I like most about Bluebeam Revu is how easy it makes reviewing and marking up drawings. The tools are very intuitive, and collaboration with team members is smooth, especially when working on construction or design documents. It really helps save time and keeps everything organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

One thing I don’t like about Bluebeam Revu is that it can feel a bit complex at the beginning, especially for new users. Some features take time to learn, and the software can occasionally lag with large files. Also, the pricing can be on the higher side for smaller teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Drawing Markups and Document Management with Bluebeam"
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

Bluebeam makes it so easy to view drawings, mark up as necessary, and manage document combining, separating and merging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

Coming from a graphic design background I used Adobe products for years. The switch was difficult in how tools work, and the short cut keys, but Bluebeam is easy to use and easy to catch on to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Versatile PDF Tool with Room for UI Improvement"
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

I find Bluebeam to be a very robust tool. If you think it can be done, it has it—like a toolbox. Overall, there's just about nothing it can't do. When it comes to PDF editing, there's the tool callout, custom tools, and the ability to draw, edit, comment, do multiples of things including adding additional layers, and mark out. It's quite the Swiss army knife of PDFs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

Its interface is not the most intuitive, and it is quite slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Simple, Easy-to-Navigate UI with Top-Notch Support"
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

It’s simple to use, and the UI is very easy to navigate. The app performs okay overall, but it can freeze at times. It’s honestly fairly priced, and there are many different ways you can use the program depending on what you need. That said, integrating outside items isn’t very straightforward and can be confusing. On the positive side, the support is top-notch, and they’re very willing to assist when you need help. Also, there is no artificial intelligence with this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

It doesn’t have any built-in AI to help with searching, takeoffs, file snipping, and a lot of other tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
