Asite Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
