Newforma indexes all of our project data no matter where its located. It provides email management for all of our projects by making it easy to file project emails for future reference. It provides secure and fully-trackeable project inofmration file transfers. It does not require you to change the location of your project data. We utilize the Construction Management portion of the product to handle all of our RFI's, Submittals, and Document Manangement for our construction projects. Newforma's support staff are helpful in solving your issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not yet fully suported with some thrid party storage providers that we utilize, but they are working on it. Product development can be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi User,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear you are satisfied with Project Center. We have made a lot of additions to our product development team in the last few months which should translate to speedier development.
NPC is a central platform for our firm, it is helpful that whether you're on the team or not, you're able to get into a project and research what you need. One of the popular features is the "Search Project Contents". The meta-data columns are also helpful to help filter the information in logs to exactly what a PM or any team member may be looking for.

The lag when switching between items, but that is improving. It would also be helpful to explore improvements for internal team member routing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Searching capability of project files is superb. Also, tracking CA items and file transfers is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish that users could not create multiple contacts for one external person's email address! We have had a lot of users add external people to their project teams by creating new contacts instead of searching for them in the contact directory first. I train them not to do that but it still happens anyway and it has caused a lot of headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Convenient to have access to all project information in one location. Newforma has drastically improved the CA process at my organization, especially the deadline notifications. I like having the ability to send large files easily and also being able to track who has opened them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface could be more user-friendly. I don't like the limit on the length of file path names that shows up as an error. The search field doesn't always find what I'm looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the email filing functionality, along with the change tracking on a per-project basis. Info Exchange for project file sharing is pretty good as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user experience is slow, and it's a pretty large effort to maintain the on-premises infrastructure required to run this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newforma does three things very well. Email management, file transfers, and searching. One of the biggest project delivery challenges is tracking what is sent and received. From the standpoint of information arriving via email, the Project Email activity center is the most useful feature. Following very closely behind, File Transfers and the many ways to do it. Tracking plans submissions and other large datasets is inefficient when doing it through email, FTP, or even other popular cloud file transfer services. Having every transfer, trackable, through the Info Exchange activity center is worth its weight in gold. Finally, searching. Whether it's email, files, RFIs, Submittals... Newforma Project Center's search feature is unmatched and very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Aside from two user interface refreshes in the 10+ years I've been involved with Newforma, very little has improved with Newforma Project Center. I would argue that the user interface refreshes have mostly been color scheme changes. Sure, performance has improved but that is expected. What I really dislike is the move to connectors. There is a plus an a minus. Of course, we all want connectivity but when it's a connector to something Newforma also does such as Contract Management, it shows the deficiency of some of Newforma Project Center's activity centers. Newforma Project Center can do a lot, but it does not do a lot very well or is not the top choice for the task. I would like to see Newforma make their bread-n-butter features much (much) better both in Project Center and the Mobile Apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The email filing is really quite easy. Sending and receiving large documents are also very simple. (I especially like that they added personal transfers a few versions ago so you can use it for ad hoc items that aren't necessarily project-related.) The construction administration features also have great workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The calendaring feature could definitely use some more work. It hasn't been updated in quite a while. Site reports are also not quite as nice and easy to use as they could be. Those are two features that we do get some complaints about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ability to correlate different types of information to each other to create a complete record of project items and information flow between members of the project team, be they internal or external. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not the easiest platform to learn completely, as there is a multitude of moving parts and functions that users have to get up to speed on. But, while the learning curve is fairly prodigious, the tool itself is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
NPC doesn't re-invent the wheel; it just brings everything together in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Newforma runs slower than other software, even on quite powerful PCs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
