What do you dislike about Trimble Connect?

The user interface of Trimble Connect feels cluttered, specially for new users. As a result we may experience steep learning curve.

The downsides are:

1) Sometimes it is challenging to find specific features through multiple menus and sub folders.

2) When working with very large, highly detailed 3D models, the model viewer can experience significant lag, slow load times.

3) Smooth navigation in heavy 3d models on the desktop version requires a computer with high end processor with graphics capabilities and a strong internet connection.

4) Trimble Connect's clash detection capabilities are basic compared to other software like Navisworks.

5) Smaller contractors, designers or architectural firms find the software too expensive for their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
