CMiC Reviews

“Has everything we need

Pros

I really appreciate having PM data available in real time. It makes monitoring projects much more simple. The ADF platform is a strong piece of technology that lets me customize the system to suit our workflows. Being able to import and export data with Excel is very helpful and I wish that functionality was available on nearly every screen. The Log Builder is also a handy tool. Altogether, it covers everything we need like payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, project management and more.

Cons

It works well for me.

“interacts smoothly with email

Pros

We liked the project management interface and how smoothly it ties into the email.

Cons

There are no downsides to it.

“easy to sign in

Pros

Signing in was not an issue for me at all. It was quick and hassle-free right from the start. No confusing steps or extra verification hoops to jump through.

Cons

Nothing to mention here.

“No training required

Pros

I was able to pick up and learn the software without any formal training and felt comfortable using it almost immediately.

Cons

We havent had any problems so far.

“Minimal learning curve

Pros

The learning curve is non-existent and I haven't run into any problems.

Cons

No complaints from me.

“offers flexible billing options

Pros

I really like the open architecture along with the flexible billing options which make management and support much easier.

Cons

I'm satisfied with the performance

“Feels natural

Pros

I'm comfortable with it now. It's pretty user-friendly once I got the hang of using it.

Cons

I faced no hiccups while using it.

“Helpful invoice data-entry module

Pros

I've found the invoice data-entry module really helpful, whether I'm working with registered invoices or vouchers. It's pretty foolproof which I appreciate. The vendor detail reports are essential for tracking and I love that I can pull them in whatever format I need.

Cons

Nothing as such.

“stores data in a single place

Pros

As a user, I appreciate that all of my project data can be kept in a single system instead of having to spread it across multiple different platforms.

Cons

No issues so far.

“user-friendly nature

Pros

It's amazing how user-friendly it is. I enjoy using it.

Cons

I come across bugs here and there though they tend to get resolved fairly quickly.

“Customizable solution

Pros

I find the system to be well-integrated and dependable with numerous checks and balances. I also like that there's scope for personalization which prevents it from feeling overly restrictive.

Cons

Well I am frustrated by the legacy Oracle stack and heavy dependence on Java. I really hope we move toward ADF and a stronger mobile focus soon.

“Powerful reporting

Pros

CMiC lets me record as much detail as I need and then produces excellent reporting. What I particularly like is being able to upload documents into CMiC and link them directly to the relevant records.

Cons

So far I haven't experienced any issues.

“eliminates many typical errors

Pros

Once I've entered the information I find it significantly easier to create and handle documents. I genuinely feel this software can eliminate many of the errors that typically occur in certain processes.

Cons

However I'm not convinced the workflow is user-friendly without referring to a written guide. I found the steps hard to follow otherwise.

“Simple to access

Pros

Found it simple to access right from the start and it's been really user-friendly ever since. Everything just works without needing to hunt around or guess.

Cons

Cant complain about anything.

“Keeps everything organized

Pros

It helps me keep everything very organized and is pretty simple to use. I also appreciate the Workflow section. Having that extra check and balance gives me confidence I've already finished every single task.

Cons

It works perfectly and meets my needs.

“Digitized my operations

Pros

It has eliminated paperwork and transformed my operations.

Cons

No complaints from my end.

“on par with competitors

Pros

Finding it simple to use after proper training, I feel it's on par with other similar software available.

Cons

It has no drawbacks that I can write here.

“Web-based app

Pros

It is a web-based application that runs on a standard Oracle database backend and I can see a future option to extend access to external contractors as well.

Cons

Setting up the environment has meant provisioning at least eight servers so far and I'm expecting to bring more online as we prepare for load balancing and possibly establishing a DMZ to allow outside access.

“solid reports functionality

Pros

I'm really impressed with the reporting features.

Cons

Overall it has worked well for me.

“Useful daily reports

Pros

I find the RFI feature, weekly meetings and daily reports really useful for keeping projects on track.

Cons

I do find the pop up windows disruptive sometimes.
