I encounter some downsides with Newforma Project Center, like when I'm trying to download files; it can only be one at a time. I wish I could download more than one file at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It stores all information of a project in one collated area and you are able to make changes where it is needed and invite anyone who is working on a project to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isnt anything i dislike about Newforma Project Centre Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a small-scale user of Newforma Project Center, we find the email documentation and search features to be especially valuable. Our projects often span many years, beginning with initial concepts, feasibility studies, and educational specifications, and continuing all the way through to project closeout. The ability to store emails and reassign different Project Managers over time is a significant advantage. When a new Project Manager takes over a project, it is very helpful for them to review the correspondence to quickly get up to speed. Additionally, we sometimes use the search feature to revisit important design decisions made earlier in the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The email search functionality leaves much to be desired. Additionally, we often encounter the issue of emails being saved as duplicates when different users file them. It would be helpful if there were a way to prevent these duplicate emails from being created. As an Owner there are often confidential communications added to Newforma and it would be a great to have a way to "lockbox" those and only allow key individuals access.

Email management and discovery, along with project-wide information search, are Newforma’s core strengths. Their approach of overlaying on top of our data stores, as well as their openness to integrating with the other platforms we use, is unique in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How slow it is. The email plug in crashes Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how organized Newforma Project Center is and that it has many functions for building construction projects. It allows me to be efficient with my time and helps categorize the difference between various items such as RFI's, and large transfer files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would appreciate if there could be a dark mode version because the white display really strains the eyes, especially for people that work on the computer constantly. The window can be so big sometimes, even though you can minimize it. But then you're always working with new windows that are white and it won’t allow you to minimize the main window when opening an RFI or submittal. A dark mode would really help that. It is common in many programs these days and would help streamline the dark mode workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Newforma Project Center provides a centralized location for all project information, making it easily accessible for the entire team. The ability to file emails in one place significantly streamlines project management. I like the feature that allows me to log items directly from my email and track file transfers with greater detail, which is incredibly efficient. This software has been instrumental in reducing the reliance on spreadsheets, limiting user data entry errors, and cutting the log time in half, thereby improving overall productivity. The integration with Outlook is particularly useful for logging submittals and RFIs, as well as saving emails, contributing to better organization and easier retrieval of project documentation.

I find Newforma Project Center to be slow, with too many steps needed to complete one action, which makes it time-consuming. The mobile apps are clunky and not user-friendly. The Android apps do not work at all, affecting half of our staff who use them and eliminating our use of field activity centers. Moving to Konekt is considered, but we're holding off due to missing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most valuable features of Newforma Project Center is its robust indexing and search functionality. On large-scale or mega projects, we often manage hundreds of thousands of emails, transmittals, meeting minutes, and various other project documents each month. The ability to quickly and accurately locate specific information within this volume of data is essential—and Newforma’s search capabilities make that possible.

Before implementing Newforma, emails were typically stored using traditional email platforms or by manually dragging copies into project folders within Windows Explorer. This method presented a significant limitation: emails stored in Windows folders could not be searched without opening each message individually. Given that some projects generate thousands of emails in a single week, this manual process was both time-consuming and inefficient.

Newforma eliminates the need for such manual searching by indexing all project communications and documents, allowing users to retrieve relevant information instantly using keywords or phrases. This has significantly improved our ability to manage and access project data in a timely and effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the less effective aspects of the program is its Help section. While it offers a wealth of information, it often lacks clear, task-oriented guidance, making it difficult to understand how to complete specific actions. Additionally, many of the instructions are vague or confusing—likely written by subject matter experts without consideration for users who are new to the platform.

As a workaround, I’ve found it helpful to search for solutions or user-generated tutorials on Google. Although not always directly helpful, these searches often introduce alternative keywords or phrasing that refine my queries and lead to more useful results. Another challenge within the Help articles is the excessive number of embedded links, which can easily lead users off-topic. In some cases, navigating back to the original content is difficult, and the detour leaves me more confused than when I started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
