I like that it reads multiple different file types. I use it every day of the week at work, and it integrates well with our other software's. It is easy to open, combine, and print as well. Whenever there are issues the help center solves the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that I can't collaborate with multiple users on the document, but there are notes I can add to make up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluebeam is the best PDF editing software out there for Architects, Contractors, Engineers and our Clients. I love the blue beam session function to interact with internal and external professionals for red marks and instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High Quality Renders from other software do crash the bluebell system. This is annoying but if you aren't editing or viewing multiple renders its perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Functionality, Flexibility, ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better presentation of signatures and seals. Could do better about takeoff tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to exit and alter files for others to see. The industy is going more towards Adobe Acrobat needs to do everything they can to keep up with Adobe Acobat. Bluebeam is better, need to keep making upgrades and being the default when opening pdf's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will crash and not work at times which is frustrating. Always getting Adobe Acobat pop ups to use that as a default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revu is realitively easy to use. It takesx some learning, but I have found I can teach a first time user to be effective in one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is sometimes dificult to set special traits to actions, like the showing of the beginming or the end of a document title. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Revu as a stand out product that brought about a wealth of change to the abilities we could provide the project managers and estimators. I find all the positive feedback regarding the software's performance and features to be true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their customer service is nonexistant. With the introduction of Revu 21, you now use an admin portal to assign licenses. If everything works, great. If everything doesn't work, support is via email only. After creating a ticket, you will be lucky to get a response from them once a day and the emails you get are questions that have already been aswered etc. There is no company structure or alternative contact information on their website. There is absolutely no phone communication. You cannot call anyone. There is no one at Bluebeam that is accountable. You can only submit a ticket and wait for someone to contact you and there is no sense of urgency from the person who emails you while you lose productivity and money. Our people have a history with Revu and like it, but we need to partner with someone who cares about our business. I have never experienced such poor customer service from a software company.

Makes drawing review and document management a much not intuitive process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a bit slow and cumbersome for certain tasks such as advanced markups. Selection tools leave a bit to be desired for users with experience in Adobe Creative Suite Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Bluebeam Revu, I can view .pdf documents, but the best part is I can cover and change what I need to modify with ease.

The "Flatten/Unflatten" function is most helpful when submitting documents for approval: unflattened to work on and modify, flatten to remove the changes history, unflatten again to modify after reviewer comments are made, etc.

In our office, Revu is used by both engineer designers and admins.

Engineers can use the many tools to create drawings, choose colors to differentiate their details from others, and share these easily with team members by simply creating a "Session" and inviting others to "Join."

Admins are able to manipulate the completed documents, add stamps like "Reviewed" or "Final Design, Not For Construction" or even "Released For Construction." EORs can even LOCK the documents after applying their seal and signature, a wonderful safety feature!

Session creators, "Host," can invite collaborators to the session and control what they are allowed to do: make comments, change document, add/save/print/remove documents from the session, full control to invite others, etc. This is very convenient when a multi-disciplinary review is required and authentic collaboration needed.

Review comments can be saved in multiple formats, for records and reference outside the Bluebeam Revu session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When setting up a new session, I can choose an Expiration Date.

I like that this date can be a few years out, since our project is only half completed after 4 years.

What I don't like is that, 3-6 months after setting up a session, regardless of the expiration date, Bluebeam Revu sends me a notification that the session will become inactive if no one has used it after the initial period.

The notification is fine, even helpful.

What I don't appreciate is the inactive session is then closed--no matter what the expiration date was set for!

This is frustrating when the originator of the session has moved on to another project or left the company or no longer has the same responsibilities and Bluebeam Revu access and is, therefore, unable to "keep the session active" by responding to the notification. We have lost access to our project's earliest sessions this way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluebeam has functionality to suit everyone's needs and is a great software for everyday use, you can edit and develop new documents, very easy to make markups on the documents, and can also apply signatures. The collaborative editing function (studio) is great for team document reviews and editing. Every user can customize the layout to suit their preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't see any downsides, the software is easy to use, especially with all the available help resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hosting review sessions, unlike other platforms Bluebeam allows multi reviewers into a single session to mark-up & comment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there was a way better wat to link the session log to the reviewed item to ease who made which comment or mark-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
