Easy to use to capture photos in the field Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the smart tracking features they are focusing are dont meet our needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of sharing photos with the project team. Struction Site allows me to share a project with a link, to anyone internal or external. Users can also login to their account to view all their projects using Procore. Once they sign in, the interface is straight forward, so new users can begin utilizing the photos immediately.

(Update)

The Video Walk feature is especially great on sites with very few reference points. It captures photos continuously like a timelapse, and I just need to Identify a start and stop location on the plans. Struction Site also filters out the blurry photos, so when you select a photo it is always the best available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When analyzing a photo, you can add a note, tag a team member, create a new Procore RFI/observation or assign an existing one. These features are underdeveloped and limited in usage, but the biggest problem is the user interface; the tags will block parts of the image or be partially off-screen on standard/flat photos.

(Update)

1. The iOS app relocated the shutter button to the corner of the screen; This is not an ergonomic position on the iPad, and the feature to reposition the shutter button we removed.

2. Before heading on-site, I habitually open Struction Site while connected to wifi to update the project. Unfortunately, while on-site, if there is poor mobile data reception, the floor plans and pins may not load, and I cannot capture until it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is that DroneDeploy is continuously updating and enhancing features more and more to suit the user's requirements. The support team is always ready to hear, understand and suggest appropriate ways to accomplish them at either end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the data captured is either more or less than the designated flight plan, although it's good when it's more but really a trouble when it's less than the desired one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its interface is easy to learn and share Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Photo sizes quickly eat up memory storage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) The snapshots of the whole project that we can keep stored in the Cloud, which preserves the condition of the project at the time of the picture-recording. So, later, if we have a damage on a wall we have completed, then we can prove that the work was completed per plan and per schedule, but another trade damaged our work once we stepped out of that area we've completed. So we wouldn't be doing the work again for free, but have the GC backcharge the offending party and pay us to redo the work.

2) The Artificial Intelligence tracking of our work. We are a metal stud framing & drywall company, and Structionsite can pick-up the metal framing, the drywall (layers of drywall), the taping, picks up the soffits and ceilings separately... We find this to be extremely useful and getting accurate production tracking, instead of a percentage average from foremen, which we can't rely on 100%, is difnitely a step up. Having an accurate production of our completed work helps us to stay on top of our projects. We also like that the information is current and not out-of-date. And saves us time and manpower, especially the superintendents and PMs and PEs, as they don't have to visit the site as often, and lose precious time driving back and forth from the jobsite. It really is the Artificial Intelligence that is picking up on the metal framing and drywall boards put up. I am still baffled as to how the AI is able to distinguish the difference, but we are very impressed!

3) The analytics. Great help in tracking accurately, and I don't have to do any math on the side or run some long calculations on a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) The field users complain about the Memory Storage of the camera. My guys basically wanted to be able to walk the whole job (may take the whole day) and be able to just walk it as 1 continuous walk, which they were not able to. Sometimes, we run out of "digital" space on the camera and have to stop the camera, end the session, and restart a new session. However, I believe the newer cameras have more memory now and might not be an issue anymore. No real complaints about Structionsite app itself. Once our team figured out how to use this app, no complaint.

2) Like anybody else with almost anything in the business world, I can use a cheaper price. You did give me a discout, which my team appreciates. =) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use is the best part. You can use it on every platform as well (android, apple, Microsoft, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about Structuresite is I didn't know about it sooner. I find new uses for it on every project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very useful software, especially for drone applications, and has many functionalities that are not there in most software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of functionalities for which there was no or less documentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the selection of filters when viewing/exporting plan sheets. The UI is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I initially had a hard time figuring out the "Tag" function. I kept trying to create a new tag from a specific photo or plan sheet until I realized I needed to add a tag from the project overview page and then go back to the sheets. It would be convenient to add a new tag while viewing a specific pin. Most if not all of the issues I've had are related to an error or "bug" on the back end. For example, the StructionSite servers were down, the platform wouldn't allow me to remove a tag, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
