Pros
It's a simple, reliable, and versatile program offering great value.
Cons
Some of the supplementary modules are not as well supported as the main ones. For instance, estimating, although it's a fantastic hidden gem, could use some extra attention.

Pros
Navigating this is ery easy. It's a fantastic tool for tracking paid and unpaid invoices.
Cons
While processing invoices, there's a risk of losing a batch without any reason, forcing me to start over. Once data is lost, there's no way to retrieve it.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Pros
It covers all our accounting needs. Explorer keeps enhancing the product.
Cons
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.

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.

Small ERP System but unreliable
Small ERP System but unreliable
Pros
This software is ideally suited for small construction firms. It offers a range of features and tools that cater specifically to the needs of smaller organizations in the construction industry. Its capabilities are well-aligned with the typical requirements of these businesses, making it an excellent choice for managing their projects, finances, and operations efficiently.
Cons
The AR/AP modules don't function as expected and require a lot of manual intervention to get POs and invoices approved. The support is limited and insufficient, missing standards and showing unwillingness to improve the software.

Be Prepared to Spend Most of Your Time Problem Solving Instead of Doing Your Job
Pros
It's cloud-based with nothing else notable about this program.
Cons
AR - doesn't produce invoice PDFs, must be created outside the system - lacks a proper workflow even though the option exists - holdback invoices don't add GST when released, requiring a JE to fix it. AP - The invoice register took over 3 months to resolve issues on Eclipse's end to function properly, and with every update, something that worked before breaks. The subcontractor 'Pay-When-Paid' module is so complex it's unusable. Payroll - It's a construction management software that doesn't have Small Tools or other useful construction features. It's pointless. Can't see unit numbers linked to employee's time or vice versa. T4 setup can be manipulated, so incorrect setup or changes can cause serious issues with the PIER report. GL - I've never used a system that can put a Trial Balance out of balance, but this one manages it excellently.

Pros
It's one of the best IDEs used by many software engineers, and I'm used to it due to its numerous good features. The user interface is great for coding in style. Warnings and errors are very helpful during debugging, and it supports various plugins for integration.
Cons
For a beginner, installing Eclipse and importing projects with the right libraries, and inserting code can sometimes be tedious. But overall, it's a nice tool.

Pros
I've been using Eclipse for J2SE development with Java Entity Beans, and here are the pros I've found: 1) It's very easy to use and less resource-intensive compared to other IDEs 2) It supports languages like C++, Java, and JavaScript 3) Suitable for both beginners and professionals for developing rich applications 4) It comes with various themes and features auto-completion in the coding editor 5) The Window Builder Library is very useful for creating desktop applications.
Cons
Since it's an open-source project, it updates frequently, which is quite annoying for me due to high internet usage. It also has less customer support compared to other development IDEs.

Pros
I appreciate the amount of information I can view; I can add or remove columns to display the data I need and eliminate what I don't.
Cons
I dislike that the software is not very intuitive. I had to follow step-by-step instructions to learn how to use it because many features and fields weren't obvious in their purpose. I also didn't like that there are many visible fields in data entry areas that should be left blank; I'd prefer those fields be completely removed to avoid confusion when first learning the system.
