Crashes or significantly slows down MS Outlook

  ### 12. Newforma

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew H. | Designer, Architecture & Planning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

Nice and easy way to send large files across company platforms, once you learn how to correctly transfer.  Tailored for CA Document management so easy to check status of outstanding RFI's or submittals, etc.  I like the ability to track who has downloaded the files I sent.  Like having a database of project emails that all have access to as long as they are actually filed.  

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

Really hard to update links to project files on the server, if the location of the files in the folder has changed.  It can be done but just very mechanical.  Has a steep learning curve to attaching files and pathing back to project server.  Easy to miss checking all the right boxes on the exchange.  
Could be easier to search for emails... like being able to search for specific words that might be inside an email but not in the subject line because sometimes subject lines are very vague.  

**Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:**

Be patient learning the software.  It will take a few failed transfers and emails from people outside the company saying there was no file attached... lol not a big deal. 

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Multi-office collaboration and file management.  Easy to organize project team contacts. 

  ### 13. Better Options Out There

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

web based punch list managment that allows real-time updates and ability to collaborate with Subs and Owners

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

Cost; current project management software already has these features. This means it would not make sense to use the punchlist tool as a standalone.

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Distribution and real-time punchlist updates

  ### 14. a Great project management program for years to com

how it has a learning curve and takes time to learn and modify files unless you have a system to orginize files files can get lost in the program tool

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2019

The best thing about Newforma is the ability to track information of all aspects of the project. You can track deadlines for items. You can also track who has downloaded the information that you sent. It becomes a great tool to organize a project

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

One thing that has been an issue is every so often we will return an RFI/submittal but it won't actually go through and it won't inform you for several hours. 

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Newforma has made it much easier to track all items coming in and out of a project, especially when there are multiple people in charge of keeping things organized. You can see if information has been fowarded or responded to very easily.

  ### 26. Newforma for Project Tracking

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gregory K. | Office Assistant, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

I like Newforma for its ability to transfer files of large sizes and distribute them across parties. I also appreciate the fact that it records transmittals and saves them electronically which reduces the need for physical paperwork and allows for electronic tracking of sent information. I also like how not everyone needs the Newforma platform for large transfers and you can track who has downloaded the files. 

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

Newforma and its interface can be a bit complicated and tricky to understand for first time users. Though it does track submittals and issues transmittals, it does not provide a clear timeline for these things. I also wish the email tracking was a bit better and there could be improvements made to the plug-in for Microsoft Outlook. 

**Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:**

I would recommend Newforma work on its interface and display. I believe it is an intuitive software; however, the interface makes it much more complicated than need be. I believe a few graphic solutions can make the software more user friendly while maintaining its professional reputation. 

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Typically we use Newforma as a project management solution and to send official documents and drawing sets such as Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document sets to clients and contractors. The benefit of transferring large files, tracking submittals, and tracking downloads is very important and irreplaceable to the practice. It allows for a majority of our paperwork to be stored electronically. 

  ### 27. Newforma

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

I really appreciate the fact that we haven't had to altar our old approach to file management. Newforma sits on top of what we already have in place. Therefor, if we use it for a year and then decide it's not the best software for us, we can easily revert back to our old approach.

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

We have had a few issues with linking projects together that have files located in multiple locations.

**Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:**

If you are tired of digging through countless folders to find the file you are looking for, give Newforma a try!

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The greatest benefit Newforma offers to our company is that we can now file emails to a project in the blink of an eye. No more countless hours of searching for that one email containing all of the important information that we need. Newforma does a fantastic job of indexing our data, making it extremely easy to search.

  ### 28. Great Project Management Tool

Newforma Project Center provides the ability to manage projects from start to finish.  The use of Newforma allows the user to build the project team, manage the most up to date set of plans, send and receive files from project team members, manage submittals and rfi's, track any and all email correspondence for a project and just simply stay on top of the project management.

what do i dislike?  Is there something to dislike about this program?  it offers the ability to coordinate all aspects of your project into a cloud based backup.

**Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:**

Project Management, email management, and dropbox like file transfer protocol all in one.

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Newforma solves the issue of being able to link email correspondence from multiple internal users on a single project into a cloud where anyone on the team can review and relate.  If someone leaves the organization, all messages are logged, and you dont have to worry about something having been deleted.

  ### 32. NewForma

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeffrey S. | Production Coordinator, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2017

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

NewForma is new to our company still, so I'm sure it still has a ton of capabilities we are unaware of.  But with that, we purchased the program in an effort to file everyone's email automatically and make it easy to find specific emails by using their amazing search options in the database.  This also solves the issue of losing emails belonging to employees who have left us as their emails are also on the server, preventing any lost communications or email exchanges that needed to be found later. 

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

The look of the platform itself is a little mundane and plain.  I would love to see it look a little more user friendly and intuitive for the everyday person to make it a more approachable program for everyone in the company to be on board with.

**Recommendations to others considering Newforma Project Center:**

If you do get Newforma for your company, consider having someone give a tutorial on the functions you want your employees to utilize.  No need to teach all the functions unless you need them, but of course they could make your life easier.

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Like I had stated earlier, we had purchased Newforma to solve our email filing and search problems.  But beyond that, it makes transferring files a breeze with not only a paper trail of who it was sent to and when, but if the recipient has opened and even downloaded the email and file!  Another useful feature is that it will create transmittal sheets and will keep a easy record of when they were sent!

It’s so easy and saves time that everyone can immediately see everything that has to do with the project from files to emails.

Theres a lot of incorrect information as far as people on projects being completely wrong in the system so there’s been a learning curve of having to go in and fix that.

Everyone has been more informed on project details since we’ve started using this. There’s no more tracking people down for answers on issues that have already been resolved. 

  ### 34. Simple to use Email filing solution

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James M. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2017

Lacks some of the broader project management features and requires work / investment to integrate with other tools that may put some novices off.

Be wary of what other tools you're looking to integrate so that you can be sure this works with them.

This was primarily an email archiving solution, but we're pushing forward with trying to integrate it with more of our business solutions to make it part of a suite of packages

  ### 35. Excellent Project Life Tracking Tool

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2017

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

My favorite thing is the email storage database!

**What do you dislike about Newforma Project Center?**

So far I am trying to use newforma as a folder sharing program, similar to an FTP site. I was able to accomplish sharing folders and keeping track of who edits or adds which is great but it has limits such as how streamlined it is to view the folder. 

**What problems is Newforma Project Center solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use newforma on a daily basis and it is linked to the whole network and outlook accounts. We are trying to implement newforma in the tracking of submittals and files for our in house projects. Instead of manually tracking these items via excel spreadsheets that have to be constantly edited.

**Reviewed by:** Gil L. | Integrated Technology Architect, Architecture & Planning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2016

**What do you like best about Newforma Project Center?**

The ability to manage project information and activity logging. Many features are built in that promote information sharing and management across teams, clients, and activities specific to projects.

Not an easy learning curve. The search capabilities, although extensive and detailed, lack a global search found in Outlook. This may be specific to our needs, but I may not be the only one that has needed this feature.

Communications between teams and client, subject / issue tracking via the email cataloguing, document release tracking and logging for issuances, related document review through platform-specific viewers without the need to deploy dedicated viewers in our users' devices.
