The 24/7 engineering support from the team. The CivilGeo team are patient and knowledgeable. Software is easy to use, well integrated and has a host of features to explore for hydrological modelling and analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. They can offer discounts for renewal. That will be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software helps make our project production must smoother and cohesive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bug of network saving not working correctly is disappointing but the engineers for HECHMS were helpful with a work around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The compatibility with AutoCAD is extremely helpful and makes modeling in GeoHECHMS very straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many of the features are not intuitive, so it takes several tries to understand what parameters are necessary to accurately create a model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the simplicity and product support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about GeoHECHMS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the built-in functions such as automated curve number calculations and watershed and sub-basin delineation. In the past these would take hours to compile all the data. Now it can be done in one click of a button - the data is already pre-loaded into the software. Time of concentration calculations are also so much faster to complete. It's really easy to break off different segments and assign different flow types as well as land use. Another huge benefit is PMO/PMF analysis. No more looking at HMR 51/52 tables. Click the centroid of your watershed and the depth/duration tables will be loaded for you. I find the software user friendly and pretty easy to pick up, especially if you 've already used other hydrologic software. You can also directly export the project to HEC-HMS.

I use this software now for basically every project that requires a hydrologic input. There's almost no reason to start a project from HEC-HMS directly when there are so many tools built into GeoHEC-HMS. Also, the customer support is 10/10. Anytime I have had an issue, there has been a tech ready and willing to help walk me through any troubleshooting, even if it's not directly related to the software. They are super knowledgeable about modeling as well and are willing to offer different approaches based on your specific location and modeling needs. They will always follow up with you as well to make sure that the software is working as intended and are willing to incorporate suggestions you have to make the program even better for the user.

There are a few small bugs with the software that are not deal-breakers (I still really like the software and will continue to use it), but the issue is that if someone who doens't know hydroogy well is using the program, they may think the model is running fine when in reality it isn't. For example, I have noticed with Curve Numbers that the program defualts to 25% impervious area. If you have already accounted for IA in your CN you need to make this 0%. Then when you export to HEC-HMS the 25% is back in the model again. If you aren't aware of this or aren't paying close attention, this would be easy to overlook.

GeoHECHMS provides a wide range of useful tools for gathering DEMs, soil, landuse and FEMA data. Organized in a easy-to-use architecture. It also allows for working with data across multiple platforms (DWG, Tiff, Shapefile, etc) all in one tool. In addition to the effeciency that this affords, the tools themselves work quickly. Overall, this provides a rather noticable timesavings when developing H&H models, whether the hydroloy data you are creating is to be used within HEC-HMS or other modeling platforms. In addition, customer support is excellent being able to assist with any questions you may have as you become accustomed to the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to report as far as issues with the software, it work well for what it is intended for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having all the supporting information and/or servers in one package is a tremendous help. The team is great for support, and it doesn't matter the day or time of the call, they respond quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On a couple of occasions, the links to other databases has to be refreshed. Simple fix and then back to work. That is the only dislike I've had so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use various overlays (impervious surface, soils, DEM data, etc) is extremely helpful as this is available within the software without hunting around the internet or digging though company server files for the correct overlay. The customer service is helpful, as they can push updates quickly to resovle issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial cost is something to consider, but the annual renewal fee is only a fraction of the cost. This is easily offset by the quick response of the help team and the services and training offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECHMS successfully integrates GIS tools, traditional HEC-HMS algorithms and other web-based databases (USGS, FEMA, USDA etc.). I like the user interface it offers. GeoHECHMS is one of the best hydrologic modeling software I have experienced. Compared to the conventional HECHMS and other watershed modeling packages, it is more friendly to new learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHECHMS is not perfectly compatible with specific input formats like DWG and DGN, although it claims to support these formats. I had witnessed software crash a few times when I was trying to load these data files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GeoHEC-HMS excels in providing a robust platform for simulating the hydrological processes of watersheds. Its ability to model various hydrological components, from rainfall-runoff to snowmelt, makes it a super useful tool. The software's versatility and comprehensive range of modeling options, such as infiltration, unit hydrograph, and routing has made it an ideal software for complex projects. Additionally, the customer service and support provided with the subscription have been excellent. Any issues or questions have been promptly addressed by knowledgeable staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While GeoHEC-HMS is a powerful tool, it does have a few minor drawbacks. The software tends to slow down when handling larger datasets, which can be frustrating during extensive projects. Additionally, there have been occasional glitches where the software modifies data unexpectedly when saving work. These issues are relatively infrequent but can disrupt workflow. Despite these kinks, GeoHEC-HMS remains a highly effective and valuable tool for hydrological modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
