I particularly enjoyed the progress billing feature. It accounts for every little detail from start to finish, making it easy to track and review performance on the spot.

I'm not fond of the cash management feature because there's no integration between the bank and Eclipse, which means I have to manually process bank entries.

Explorer's history as a software supplier to the Canadian construction market means some terms are Canadian rather than American, but it's not a big deal and adds a bit of amusement for us users now and then.

Pros

I wish I could mention a positive aspect, but I haven't seen one yet.

Cons

Customer service is terrible. There's no product education, and they just assume I know how to use it. If I have issues, I have to create a ticket, and they send me a related article to figure it out myself. Considering we pay over $9,000 a year for support, this is not my idea of adequate service.
