Countfire Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Countfire is that after you count and define a symbol correctly, the software automatically recognizes and counts the same symbols on subsequent sheets. You don’t need to take any further action. This feature represents a significant step forward in device counting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I find lacking is the speed of the web version, which, in my experience, feels quite slow. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the forward navigation buttons are missing, which makes moving through the interface less convenient. I also think it would be very helpful if an autosave feature were added. These are the main issues I’ve encountered so far during my time using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I am in the beginning process of working through Countfire estimating a very large data center. I am light years ahead of where I would be with our previous estimating software. The takeoff portion of the software is unbelievably intuitive and far and away more user-friendly than any estimating software that I have previously used. The in-chat feature is amazing with customer service right at your fingertips and I have yet to experience a wait time longer than a couple minutes before someone has engaged and looking into my question.

I have not much past the takeoff experience with Countfire as of yet, but the capabilities seem to be what will be needed for our company and things appear to be evolving constantly with the software's capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Countfire is straightforward to learn, highly efficient, and the support team is consistently helpful. It has helped our company to go paperless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be helpful if there were a simpler method to remove a legend from a drawing, so that the items are not selected. However, the current process for doing this is not particularly time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Count Fire stands out for its remarkable speed and ease of use, significantly accelerating the estimating process. The checks sheet is particularly efficient, making it quick and straightforward to confirm that the correct items have been selected. Additionally, the breakout on the quantities tab is exceptionally helpful and thoughtfully organized, providing clear and useful breakdowns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An option for manual counting would be beneficial, especially for plans that are difficult to import, such as those drawn informally on a "wet bar napkin style". Improving how auto-counted items are removed when selected in error would also enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when doing Linear Measures you can break it down to individual lengths or have it as a total, the ease of making groups and different item names, and being able to use multiples on these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it is much better now sometimes doing the Count function can miss parts but this can now be easily corrected, I would say the Zoning Function can be quite difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so easy to load and take off drawings, then receiving take off's in excel format ready for inputting or sending qty's out for quotations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their customer support. The team always notices if I am stuggling with any of the tool's features and promptly provides a solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a downside but more of a "nice to have". I would hope to be able to include a product number associated to each symbol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the platform is very easy to navigate and that it is user-friendly. The customer support has been very friendly also because they are very quick to respond when it comes to user issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the wrong items on the drawings will get selected when they are not the symbol I have selected but have a similar look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
