Bluebeam Reviews & Product Details

It has a lot of tools at your disposal to use. It also is versatile and good at converting documents to different formats. The real time collaboration is also very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It crashes constantly, it is so slow to load, it constantly glitches out and seems to have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluebeam offers a range of benefits, but my personal favorite is the erase content tool. This feature is especially useful when I need to create new plans based on existing ones. After becoming familiar with Bluebeam, I found it very straightforward to use, and it’s also easy to teach others for company-wide implementation. Another feature I rely on daily is Bluebeam Studio, which allows multiple people to work on the same file simultaneously with real-time updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like the least about Bluebeam is that when you are zoomed in all of the way and move your cursor to the side of the screen you move all over the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Bluebeam because it makes my workflow more efficient and flexible. I use it mainly for adding annotations to blueprints, which saves me from having to go back into Revit to make changes. The Revit add-on is especially useful for organizing print sets and automating repetitive steps, which helps cut down on time. Since I often need to markup prints for precast, structural details, and architectural wall openings for ductwork, Bluebeam makes those tasks quick and straightforward. I also find the recent tools tab extremely helpful; it speeds up repetitive markups and keeps my process consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Bluebeam is the switch from a one-time purchase model to subscription licensing. From my perspective, I haven’t seen significant added value moving from Bluebeam 20 (lifetime license) to Bluebeam 21 (subscription). While some users may find the new tools in 21 helpful, the features introduced so far haven’t justified the ongoing cost for the way I use the software. If future updates included more impactful tools or improvements, the subscription model would feel easier to justify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Bluebeam allows me to perform takeoffs and edit documents all within the same program. Having these features combined in one software makes things much more convenient, as I no longer have to constantly switch between different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the learning curve for some features to be quite steep. While this is common with many software programs, Bluebeam in particular feels like it requires a lot of learning for someone who is just starting out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
