CMiC Reviews

“CMiC USer Report

Pros

I utilize some accounting features and they work seamlessly. Three aspects I appreciate about the software are its web based nature, the clean interface and the excellent training staff.

Cons

It would be helpful if the page turned or went gray after entering or saving data to provide clarity. Currently,it can be confusing to determine if the information has been successfully saved. Additionally there is no access to payroll yet.

“James Farrell's Review

Pros

CMiC serves as a highly customizable and versatile ERP solution for General Contractors. It offers wide range of customization options within an integrated solution specifically tailored to meet the needs of general contractors.

Cons

The platforms extensive scope and complexity make it challenging to access data and require labor intensive updates.

“Overall good software

Pros

Overall I find CMiC to be more intuitive than other project software I have used. Firstly the Accounts Payable Module is straightforward and user friendly. Secondly the lookup module for Accounts Payable and Subcontractor invoices is effective. And Lastly the programs filters enable quick searches.

Cons

CMiC has certain idiosyncrasies that are not user friendly leading to frustrating experiences. Error messages lack helpful guidance for correction and proceeding and ticket submissions often remain unresolved for months.

“Exceeds needs

Pros

With approximately 2 1/2 years of experience I can confidently say that CMiC has come a long way since then. The continuous updates and improved visibility within the module have made a significant difference.

Cons

I have no concerns.

“Meeting minutes/daily log

Pros

I rely on CMiCs daily log and meeting minutes on a daily basis. I am highly satisfied with the software's comprehensive offerings particularly its excellent daily log functionality.

Cons

Entering meeting minutes can be difficult especially when inputting attendee names and ensuring proper sequencing.

“It is a software which is user friendly after you learn all the ins and outs of it.

Pros

There are three aspects that stand out to me and they are effortless navigation, the ability to establish connections between different components and the customization options available for reports.

Cons

Some functions that require customization cannot be altered and certain reports could benefit from improvements.

“Joes Review

Pros

With each passing day I gain more experience using CMiC. I believe it will become much easier when I start my next project with the knowledge I have acquired. The ability to track changes and the centralization of all information in a single hub/database is highly advantageous.

Cons

Once a post is made there is no way to make changes for any mistakes. Additionally finding the appropriate report can be challenging.

“After a year in...

Pros

As a new user I found the system a bit challenging to learn and there are several features we have yet to explore. However it has great potential and I can see that continuous improvements are being made. What I really like are Real-time job cost data, ability to import/export from Excel and Cloud-Based

Cons

Certain areas could be made more user friendly such as including "select all" buttons. But There is inconsistency in advice and setup instructions from trainers and an interface for paying payroll liabilities would be beneficial.

“Great product

Pros

CMiC makes managing costs and submittals very simple and easy. There are three specific features that I find excellent such as Cost Reports, Submittal tracking and RFI tracking

Cons

Some forms do not appear aesthetically pleasing when printed and quicker resolution of issues is needed. Meeting minutes could use some adjustments.

“Ease of Use

Pros

My overall experience with the software has been positive although there are some issues that need to be addressed. Occasionally the performance of the software is inconsistent and when encountering a problem, we have to escalate it to support. However there are three aspects that I find beneficial Ease of use, Journal entries made easy with clear formatting, Internet based accessibility from anywhere

Cons

Lack of consistency is noticeable in certain processes like job billing. Slowdowns in the software occur without prior notification requiring contact with support for clarification.

“CMiC

Pros

CMiC is an exceptional ERP solution for the construction industry. The cost management functionality is excellent and user friendly. Moreover CMiC provides outstanding customer support and has top notch account representatives.

Cons

Hidden costs, particularly adapters can be unexpected. Error messages do not always provide intuitive information resulting in time wasted troubleshooting with both our team and CMiC support.

“Construction Manager - in the weeds

Pros

Everything is well organized within the system and it integrates smoothly with other components. Being web based allows for flexibility to work from anywhere.

Cons

The system requires numerous button presses to function correctly and there are excessive checks and balances that hinder quick completion of tasks. The estimating module is neither fast nor efficient.

“Unreliable and riddled with bugs

Pros

The software has been extremely glitchy and the IT support has been inadequate in accurately calculating payroll and reporting job costs. We have been dealing with ongoing software issues for nearly a year.

Cons

Reports often contain miscalculations leading us to create spreadsheets for more accurate reporting. Ongoing software issues have resulted in significant productivity losses making us less efficient when using CMiC software.

“complicated out of date safotware

Pros

I am not a fan of using this software.

Cons

The software can be complicated to use and occasionally fails to allow uploads or send files independently and sporadically. I do not recommend it.

“CMiC Review

Pros

My primary use of the CMiC database is to access data occasionally enter equipment into the Equipment module, and submit my time sheet. Overall CMiC functions well but it would be beneficial to have a consistent interface across all modules.

Cons

Accessing data requires navigating through multiple interfaces like Forms, ADF, JSP etc

“Cmic feedback

Pros

There are three key aspects of the CMiC solution that I particularly like and they are Integration of project management with accounting, all within the same system, Potential for a centralized and reliable source of information and Job billing backup albums

Cons

CMIC has a lot to learn because with some aspects are simple while others are not. We aim to utilize more of the system but often reach a point where customization of reports or paying for enhancements becomes necessary.

“Review

Pros

I really like the functionality of CMiC and the fact that all information is stored in a single system eliminates concerns about incompatible bridged systems.

Cons

Implementing CMiC takes time so its important to have the right resources in place for a successful implementation.

“X Projects Review

Pros

The navigation is simple and everything is interconnected. The ability to save data on the cloud allows for accessibility from any location.

Cons

The platform is outdated and the reports feel outdated as well. The support should be improved and it would be helpful to have a contact phone number.

“Handles everything perfectly

Pros

It took some time to get accustomed to the software but now I feel comfortable using it. I find the exportable logs to Excel very useful and the software generally runs at a good speed. I also really like its capacity to handle large amounts of data without slowing down.

Cons

The 1099 module lacks usefulness. There is a need for links to additional information within the data points. Pay attention to the various choices for reports.

“Payroll Manager

Pros

The software meets our general payroll needs although I would like to see more standardized payroll reports. For data that is not available in reports I have to download it from view screens and create my own Excel reports. It would also be helpful to have historical pay and hire/termination/rehire data easily accessible within the Employee Profile Maintenance screens. Three things I really like about CMiC are Ability to download data to Excel, Automatic recognition of state reciprocity/non-reciprocity for withholding tax and Efficient data search using query operators/functions

Cons

To obtain the desired data from the system it is necessary to have proficient knowledge of Excel.
