Asite Reviews

“Asite with foresight

Pros

Asite is quite handy, easy to pick up, and simple to program. The support teams are top-notch, and the company is well ahead of its competitors. It's recognized as a premier software provider in the industry.

Cons

The contractor pre-qualification was somewhat inadequate; focusing on e-procurement would definitely be advantageous.

“Cloud-based collaboration platform

Pros

With its SaaS cloud-based system, Asite lets me manage BIM project portfolios, build custom applications, and create my own workflows. It also supports remote work and syncing across different stations and integrates various formats like HTML and PDF.

Cons

Gaining access to the most advanced features requires an additional financial investment for the premium version.

“All right if you are a contractor using it daily, but good help you if you are a supplier!

Pros

There's nothing good about it. It's extremely challenging to use as a supplier. We receive inquiries from many platforms, and this one is the worst, to the point where our security system started blocking emails from it.

Cons

Everything is quite difficult to use and assumes that as a supplier, I have a compatible working method. I can see the benefits if used daily as a contractor, but as a supplier, it's like navigating a minefield!

“super

Pros

Comprehensive storage solutions that cater to various types of files, including document storage, MP3 audio files, and MP4 video files. This system ensures that all types of data are securely stored and easily accessible for future use.

Cons

The software doesn't allow for multiple uploads; it only offers a few suggestions.

“Operations Review

Pros

It's easy to locate documents and the markup tools are user-friendly.

Cons

There are too many features and it's very complex; if something goes wrong, it could be due to a range of issues that take time to explore and identify.

“Easy to iuse for doc control viewing and managment

Pros

The option to view documents before downloading is really helpful and saves a lot of time.

Cons

I don't dislike anything about Asite.

“MEP review

Pros

Filters, tracking revisions, previews, and ease of document uploads.

Cons

The mark-up facility is clunky; the "aMessages" feature is not used because it's hard to track.

“DDG Review 2022

Pros

It's pretty easy to learn and use, sets up commenting periods and tracks them. I can create distribution groups to simplify handling large documents.

Cons

Some functions work better in classic view, while others are better in Adoddle view. It's unfortunate that these two are not better synced and that I have to switch between them frequently. The lack of a basket option in Adoddle view means I always need to use classic view for compiling information from various folders or for exporting reports. It would also be useful if deleting documents from the system was easier rather than having to move them to an obsolete folder or make them inactive. It's frustrating that I can't change incorrect user reference numbers in application forms like RFI's and NCR's, especially when Asite support isn't helpful or charges a fee for assistance.

“Easy to use Application

Pros

The process of uploading and downloading information related to projects is simple and uncomplicated. It is designed to be intuitive, making it easy to manage and transfer project data efficiently without encountering difficulties.

Cons

The system shows tasks as outstanding even when they're not relevant to my role.

“ASITE Review

Pros

File capacity, storage, metadata, version control, BS Standard, and good project management protocols. Ensures NEC Contract Compliance and timely file submissions to clients. Maintains version protocols and file structure creation. No capacity for BIM modeling submissions.

Cons

The file repository lacks disaster recovery options.

“Ocasional user - design

Pros

I primarily use Asite to access the latest model releases for design, planning, and estimating. It's easy to use and effective.

Cons

As an occasional user, I don't feel qualified to comment.

“Construction Management

Pros

The ability to track views and downloads and ensure compliance is useful.

Cons

The process of selecting folders is quite uneven and cumbersome. Navigating through the available options can be challenging and inefficient, making it difficult to find the folders I need quickly. The overall experience feels disorganized, leading to a frustrating and time-consuming task of managing and locating folders effectively.

“Asite Document Server

Pros

It can search using simple keywords, which makes it easy for me to find old documents.

Cons

Sometimes there are too many sub-folders, which makes files hard to find. It would be helpful to have a clear table showing all items.

“Welding Plates

Pros

Accessing the necessary drawings is effortless. The system is designed to make finding and retrieving the required drawings quick and easy, ensuring that I can easily get the information I need without any hassle.

Cons

Occasionally, the drawings need to be updated.

“Fantastic file sharing project software - perfect for collaboration

Pros

Asite has been my go-to project software for years. It's easy to navigate and very seasy for raising RFIs and creating document submissions.

Cons

My only criticism is that when the user interface switched from classic to Adoddle a few years ago, the front-end dashboard feels a bit cluttered.

“Review on Addle

Pros

It's very simple. 2. Easy for new users to pick up. 3. Bulk editing is a simple way to update document metadata. 4. Extracting reports is easy.

Cons

I haven't noticed anything bad about Adoddle Asite.

“It really is "A doddle"

Pros

Asite is very easy and quick once you know how. It's similar to attaching a file to an email, but since it's a cloud system, you aren't limited by file size for uploads and distribution.

Cons

Some of the functions are not very intuitive. I say this because the training course is essentially a self-help guide, but once I get the hang of it, it's simple.

“Managing construction projects has never been easier

Pros

Adoddle is a comprehensive tool that streamlines collaboration on construction projects with all teams via a well-designed cloud platform. Documents and submittals can be shared with team members from any device, saving the hassle of sending multiple emails. Distribution of information to internal and external stakeholders is ssimple, and access is impressive. It integrates with platforms like CAD, making review easy. Uploading and downloading data is also simple, and with some training, it's a very useful software.

Cons

The software is challenging to use, but with training, I can use it effectively and access all its features. The workflow could be simplified with a more user-friendly interface.

“Adoddle Review

Pros

No significant advantages to mention for Asite. I wouldn't recommend this software.

Cons

I didn't like much about the system; from its functionality to the interface, it's below the standard of other document management systems available on the market.

“Asite is a dream when it comes to document control

Pros

The interface is really clean and easy to navigate. The document filing system is excellent, and linking different file types within a single submission helps reduce clutter.

Cons

Sometimes, the number of notifications can become overwhelming.

“Major upgrade to the old system

Pros

The user interface has improved significantly. It has powerful filtering, excellent control over distribution and editing privileges, a new dashboard, and workflow tasks that make it easy to spot new items needing attention.

Cons

The search functionality is frankly terrible. I need to be familiar with the project's structure to have a good chance of finding the right document. The site experiences regular downtime for updates, which could be streamlined into fewer releases. At least the updates usually happen late at night.

“A Review of Adoddle.

Pros

Asite Adoddle is great because its cloud-based project management helps address issues with employee communication, documentation management, cost analysis of projects, portfolio analysis, and supply chain updates. Bottlenecks are minimized, and Adoddle provides efficiency across various construction segments, from home builders to skyscraper projects.

Cons

Adoddle could use an update because it relies on user input for the end location rather than performing a detailed search. However, Asite staff are helpful and available if issues arise.

“Clunky and non intuitive

Pros

Easy login and fairly good markup tools. The ability to set up dialogues within the app and track changes is beneficial.

Cons

The search facility is very poor and relies too much on me directing it to the location. The front end is quite unhelpful and doesn't easily show all project tasks that are outstanding. Classic view is much better, but administrators and the company seem to push the Adoddle interface since it defaults to this on login. The drawing comparison tools aren't as smooth as other packages, and the markup tools' dialogue isn't very versatile. Running discussions on drawings can be frustrating as it doesn't have a natural conversation flow due to the difficulty of viewing all comments and responses simultaneously. After using it on and off for the last nine years, it never seems to get any easier compared to other software tools.

“A shockingly bad user experience. Too complex, too cluttered, no guidance

Pros

I'm shutting it down. I don't like anything about it and never look forward to dealing with Adoddle or Asite, no matter what it's called this week.

Cons

The system is convoluted, and nothing seems to work well. There are too many acronyms, no screen tips, and no simple view. I find it incredibly frustrating. It takes too long to perform tasks that should be quick. It feels like a hurdle I have to overcome, and it's far less efficient than the old methods. Even the front page is annoying. If I never had to use it again, I'd be thrilled. I'm not a Luddite; I'm quite comfortable with database systems, but this front end is truly dreadful.

“Hamstrung, repetitive, slow, backward

Pros

There's not much positive to say. I can't think of any feature that stands out as better than what competitors offer.

Cons

The folder-based paradigm for uploads is problematic. The UI/UX is inconsistent, bloated, and not focused on the critical path more style over function.
