The software is straightforward to configure and meets our requirements effectively. I have found customer support to be responsive whenever assistance is needed. Integration with other HEXAGON products, as well as our in-house systems, is also seamless. Additionally, HEXAGON regularly updates the software with the latest features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the time, upgrading the software disrupts the existing configuration, which often leads to several interactions with the support team. They need to replicate the issue on their end before it can be forwarded to the development team, where it is then scheduled for a fix in a future release. This entire process usually requires a patch from the vendor, making software upgrades a time-consuming task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the dashboards in EcoSys as they cater to my affinity for data. These dashboards allow me to analyze performance versus forecasts, which is crucial for our ability to review our performance effectively. By assessing our past performances, we can feed this data back into our planning processes, facilitating continuous improvement, which is a significant aspect for us. Additionally, I value how customizable these dashboards are, allowing me to tailor the data visualization to my specific needs, enhancing my ability to extract valuable insights and make informed decisions.

I think the UI of EcoSys looks a bit dated. Some of the colors and overall design are not particularly modern or slick, which can be off-putting for users who interact with it daily. In using software, I want to feel like I’m working with cutting-edge technology, and right now, EcoSys doesn't fully convey that feeling, even if it functions well behind the scenes. I believe updating the look and feel would be a straightforward improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To support the implementation of new features or applications, Hexagon offers the option to engage its own expert resources. This assistance is provided in exchange for configuration support hours, billed on an hourly basis. While this service ensures high-quality delivery, it comes at a relatively premium cost.

Its user interfaceEcosys is a lean, component-driven manufacturing cost analysis and quoting platform designed for OEMs and tier suppliers. It bridges engineering, procurement, and finance by translating design and process inputs into real-time should-costs and price breakdowns.

Excellent visualization of cost drivers (material, conversion, overhead, margin).

Integrates clean-sheet costing directly with supplier quotes for negotiation prep.

Good for global sourcing teams and advanced NPI cost tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ecosys is powerful but clunky — data setup takes too long, the UI feels dated, and customizing cost models or regional factors isn’t intuitive. It delivers insights, but you have to fight the tool to get them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EcoSys helps me manage cost data from start to finish. I can build an estimate, convert it to a budget, and track progress without switching between tools. The earned value and forecasting features make it easy to see where we stand and adjust early when needed. Having all that in one place saves time and keeps everything accurate.

It takes some setup before everything runs smoothly. Building templates, cost codes, and forecasts needs patience. Also, when handling very large projects, reports can take longer to load. Still, once it’s set up right, it runs steadily and gives great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about EcoSys is how it centralizes project controls budgeting, forecasting, and cost tracking all in one place. It integrates smoothly with our systems and gives real-time visibility into performance. It’s been especially useful for tracking earned hours and managing engineering workflows.

What I dislike about EcoSys is that the interface feels cluttered. It takes quite a bit of training to get comfortable using it effectively. I’ve also run into issues with data syncing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EcoSys offers powerful integration with enterprise systems, making it a strong tool for unified project controls. The ability to customize dashboards and reports enables greater visibility and decision-making across teams. Its modular structure supports project lifecycle management from budgeting to forecasting with real-time insights. We particularly value how EcoSys centralizes cost tracking, change management, and earned value analysis, reducing the need for manual processes and spreadsheets. It’s ideal for complex, multi-phase projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While EcoSys is feature-rich, the user interface can be unintuitive and overwhelming, especially for new or non-technical users. Initial setup and implementation require considerable training, and the learning curve is steep for some users. Performance may lag with large datasets, and reporting customization sometimes lacks flexibility compared to other BI tools. Integration with non-standard third-party systems can also be challenging without dedicated IT support. Improved onboarding tools and more responsive in-app support would enhance the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the visibility it gives into project performance — the dashboards and reports make it much easier to stay on top of budgets and schedules, and I can pull the information I need pretty quickly. It definitely saves me time compared to juggling spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the EcoSys interface to be complex, which made the initial setup difficult and required some time to get accustomed to. Running large reports can be time-consuming, indicating a performance area that could be improved. Additionally, the challenging interface means that training is necessary for new users, and this process can take a significant amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how EcoSys ability to pull everything together project management, costs, and schedules in one spot. The real-time dashboards are super customizable, and it plays nice with tools like Primavera P6, which you use. It’s a lifesaver for keeping complex projects on track without the usual data chaos.

EcoSys can be a lot to wrap your head around at first kinda complex to set up, especially for smaller teams. It’s pricey, too, which might not vibe with tighter budgets. And I’ve heard it can glitch when syncing with tools like Primavera, which you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
