"Lots of features, but not very user-friendly"

2/5

What do you like best about ProEst?

ProEst has a large array of different features available to the user, and has a large storehouse of information and suggested prices for different products. It has a well built in cost code system that corresponds to the 50 divisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

ProEst is not very user-friendly for individuals who struggle with computers in the first place. Construction unfortunately has a large percentage of individuals working that are not very computer literate, and ProEst doesn't make it easy for those who are struggling to understand why the estimate isn't working to problem solve what user-error is in the system. In an industry and subsection that is extremely fast-paced it's also easy to miss an error that is causing a multiplicative factor to occur until it's too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProEst:

If you pick up on systems quickly, there is a lot of good information and capabilities in the system but if your estimators are not the most computer literate individuals or struggle with problem solving technology, I would probably think twice. That being said, be aware that although ProEst claims to be updating their system, we have been using the software for about a year now and haven't seen any updates. If any updates were given, we were not informed of them and whatever team is in charge of rolling out updates has not communicated with the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ProEst solving and how is that benefiting you?

ProEst has been great for collaboration and the ability to have multiple individuals work on one estimate at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
