Bid day summary to use for sub-contractor bid tabulation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ProEst?

Learning curve is steep and you have to pay a lot for the training

The Tech support is not that good, so if you are stuck at some point, you have to open a ticket with them and wait for their call to assist you

Database setup takes a lot time

It doesn’t offer compatibility with Mac which can be a problem for some users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ProEst:

The biggest advantage of ProEst is having a reliable cost database. If you already have a reliable database of historical costs, you can input it into the ProEst database. However this is a very time consuming process. Some of the main competitors for Proest Estimating are Quick Estimator and Clear Estimates, these can also be tried out to see what matches your requirements.
