RedTeam Software Reviews

“Works for regular teams

Pros

I've been using this for a long time in construction and since a lot of companies we work with know the terms and how it works, everything just flows smoother. It really helps with communication.

Cons

Some of the features can be buggy or feel outdated at times and honestly, some parts aren't very intuitive. One thing I'd really like to see is the expense feature improved. Right now, it mostly handles reimbursements but it would be great if it could also work better for employees who have company cards and don't need reimbursements all the time.

“Easy to use

Pros

I like how simple it is. The terms and overall setup are really nice. It's easy to use and super user friendly. I especially love the set rate amount when adding or editing an employee and it makes finding actual costs way easier and I'm really thankful for that.

Cons

I'd say the main issue is the bugs in the system. Also, there are parts of the app that we don't really use or need and it'd be nice if those could be turned off or removed. I get that might not be possible but having the option to disable features we don't use would make it a lot cleaner for us.

“Feels simple to use

Pros

Using it is simple from start to finish. I especially like how bidding and awarding subcontracts works within the platform....it's clear and removes a lot of the back-and-forth that usually slows things down. I can manage the entire process in one place which saves time and reduces errors. It's honestly made handling subcontracts one of the easier parts of my workflow.

Cons

I actually prefer the live helpline instead of relying on the online chat feature.

“helpful customer support team

Pros

I'm really impressed with their customer support. They are always helpful and I love how simple the messenger is to use!

Cons

It isn't always the best fit for smaller projects. Recently the platform started requiring a sub to approve any changes beyond a certain point and honestly that tweak has been really inconvenient for how we use it.

“Smooth integrations

Pros

Integration wasn't hard for me at all as it all came together smoothly. I really appreciate how quickly I can draft contracts and change orders, set up owner billing and handle bid requests. RTG makes these tasks fast and simple which has taken so much pressure off my daily workflow.

Cons

I've noticed the spell-check either doesn't function or frequently lags during use.

“appreciate the accounting tools

Pros

What I rely on and appreciate most are the accounting tools, every bit of data is right at my fingertips and my project managers can check the status of owner and subcontractor payments themselves instead of needing to interrupt me to ask.

Cons

I'd like to see some improvements to the filter options in the accounting area as they're a bit limited and could be more flexible for our reporting needs.

“Effective document management

Pros

I'm really impressed by the bidding tools, the way documents are organized and the built-in live chat.

Cons

There has been a bit of a learning curve to remember all the different steps involved when I create change orders.

“highly recommended

Pros

I've found it really easy to use. I like how it works and I'd definitely recommend it to others.

Cons

Honestly I haven't had any problems with the program at all.

“Useful bidding feature

Pros

What I find myself using the most are the bidding workflows and the contract tools for both subcontractors and property owners.

Cons

Overall it's been good so far. The only area I'd say could use some work is the in-app chat functionality.

“Project hyperlink needs work

Pros

Using this platform I can blast out Invitations to Bid en masse and keep a clear record of all invitation responses which makes follow-up much easier.

Cons

The project hyperlink is unreliable and needs work. Subcontractors can register multiple company profiles and duplicate contact records which makes managing vendors chaotic. Also I don't receive subcontractor sub-quotes, they aren't routed to the contractor so I have to open each project individually to hunt them down.

“Difficult for superintendents

Pros

They provide top-notch customer service and the job pricing worksheet works really well!

Cons

Sadly I've had several design and development problems that make the app difficult for superintendents to access and use and subcontractors face even greater usability challenges. The overall ease of use for subcontractors is quite poor.

“Easy to handle

Pros

I find it very easy to manage and my subcontractors can understand it without much trouble.

Cons

The software can be quite slow particularly when I'm pulling reports or handling accounting and waivers.

“helpful knowledge base

Pros

I'm finding it relatively simple to use and I can access a very helpful knowledge base.

Cons

Bugs have popped up for me yet the support team is actively resolving them.

“An all-in-one construction solution software

Pros

It is an all-in-one solution for all my software needs. I love using it to simultaneously build many projects in various places, ranging from single-family homes to multi-family homes, accounting and so much more. Also it has offered invaluable instructional resources and has tools for both newbies and seasoned construction workers.

Cons

I think there are some very frustrating drawbacks to redteams. At the top are passwords, which do not allow you to use special characters. The mobile app should be given some more thought because it lacks many essential features.

“Buyer beware alert

Pros

I really love the features this software promised when I first started using it. It's been great because everything they said it would do, it actually does.

Cons

It really didn't live up to my expectations. I used it for six months and wasn't happy with how it performed. On top of that when I asked for a refund for the $6500 I spent, they wouldn't give me anything back which was pretty disappointing.

“Got everything we needed

Pros

This software is truly a one-stop solution for all my needs. From project planning to project completion, it includes everything that I need.

Cons

I cannot say anything that I do not like about this app.

“Top-notch customer service

Pros

The customer service is amazing. The specialists are well-informed and will help you getting up and running quickly. Even if we asked the software about something that was not built in, they were able to handle it efficiently.

Cons

I think completely shifting to any solid comprehensive software package, such as this one, takes time. And If you're in a hurry, the changeover might be difficult.

“One of the best in the game!

Pros

The system gave access to learning tools for newcomers like us in the construction industry, as well as provided excellent tools for experienced professionals. It can also be used with other applications. I recommend it.

Cons

We love this system. No complaints so far.

“Great help for project management

Pros

RedTeam is a system that tracks everything from the beginning to the end of the project, which is a huge plus for us.

Cons

I think there are some functions in RedTeam, particularly those involving passwords, that feel pretty basic and don't facilitate much. The password setup process could benefit from added security features, such as multi-factor authentication or more simple access management tools to ensure easier yet secure access for our team. Enhanced password options would make it more efficient and give a stronger sense of security for handling project data and sensitive information. Overall, a solid login system would make RedTeam's project management better.

“Great tool

Pros

Our office manager is relieved that she won't have to learn a new system because of the QuickBooks integration. We highly recommend this system.

Cons

Without explicit onboarding from the support team, I think implementing software across the firm can be difficult and complicated.

“Love how it takes care of my work

Pros

RedTeam offers a methodical approach. The application has significantly helped us in avoiding the problems of being overworked and forgetting a step or piece of information.

Cons

There should be more functions available on the mobile app and It's rather costly for me if I'm not going to use everything.

“Interactive interface

Pros

What I appreciate is how easy it is to use and how the user interface guides me along.

Cons

One thing that could be improved is how well it integrates with third-party applications. Better integration would make using It a lot easier and smoother for me.

“Gets easier with time

Pros

It's becoming easier to use and I'm enjoying it more the more I get comfortable with its features.

Cons

So far I haven't come across anything about it that I dislike.

“handles multiple tasks

Pros

Being able to juggle several tasks at the same time lets me and my small team get a lot more done than we'd otherwise manage.

Cons

Schedule integration would be far more useful if it could sync directly with Microsoft Project and some cost-tracking reports make it hard for me to pull every key piece of data together in a single place.

“Looking forward to the new release

Pros

The user interface feels clean and is simple to pick up. I've found the project budget to be the starting point for every project and it's easy to configure and define within the project budget worksheet. Subcontract management is kept efficient, customized to each project and I find it very simple to update and adjust the subcontract templates for individual subcontractors on a job and then send them out for electronic signature.

Cons

I find the scheduling tool awkward and it doesn't integrate smoothly with updates coming from the daily report area of the mobile app. That said I've had a peek at the upcoming product during its alpha test before the beta and the changes I've seen are huge improvements. I'm really looking forward to that release.

“convenient layout

Pros

I've found the platform layout easy to click my way through and the subcontractors we've added so far are equally simple.

Cons

Document formatting could use some improvement.

“They provide quick solutions

Pros

I value how user-friendly it is and how fast their team fixes problems.

Cons

Honestly there's nothing I dislike.

“Incredible support

Pros

What I appreciate most is the single-entry setup so I don't have to deal with duplicate spreadsheets anymore and customer service is wonderful. They have been a true pleasure to work with.

Cons

I haven't come across anything that bothers me so far.

“Saves a lot of time

Pros

The single thing I value most about this software is that it's the most comprehensive project-management system we've used. On top of that the amount of time saved across tasks from contracts to Change Orders has been massive for our operations. Like I noted earlier our previous way of working is effectively obsolete. There were a lot of problems with how we handled processes before so this solution helps us get our documents in order and keeps us much more focused on actually running our projects.

Cons

We don't really expect to use the scheduling portion of this software. It just doesn't have the capabilities that something like Microsoft Project offers. That said it's not a deal-breaker for us because we simply build our schedules in MP and then upload those MP files into PASKR afterwards so our workflow stays intact. Overall it's a minor limitation in an otherwise solid package.

“comprehensive solution

Pros

It is a complete estimating and project-management package. An all in one solution!

Cons

PASKR can't bill Purchase Orders.

“cooperative support staff

Pros

I've noticed how information automatically flows through our project management process which makes everything run a lot more smoothly. The customer service team has also been consistently very helpful whenever I've needed them.

Cons

Every so often I find the system is slow to load.

“huge timesaver

Pros

Using Contract Submissions and Sub Invoicing, I've been able to save significant time and resources.

Cons

The phone app has a few ongoing struggles and quirks that have disappointed me a bit and I'm still waiting for the schedule update to be fully rolled out so I can implement it.

“all-in-one solution

Pros

PASKR is a true one-stop solution for software needs. It handles everything from bidding through closeout and all the steps in-between. The platform is extremely powerful and has freed up time so I can go after more jobs or concentrate on ongoing projects instead of getting bogged down in administrative work.

Cons

I've noticed that PASKR actively pays attention to user feedback and keeps evolving. Right now I can't think of any features or issues that I feel require improvement.

“thoughtfully designed from estimating to management

Pros

I've found Paskr to be thoughtfully designed. From estimating through project management, it's been an effective way for me to keep projects organized and on track. What really elevates it for me is the customer support team as they go above and beyond. I absolutely recommend it.

Cons

The mobile app could use some work. In my experience it can be glitchy and will occasionally just shut itself down. Even so, I still think it's a solid app overall and I've seen the team continually addressing bugs. They invite user feedback and actually follow through on suggestions.

“Brings the whole team together

Pros

There are a lot of parts of PASKR that have genuinely made life at our construction firm easier. I actually named this review consolidation, efficiency, support for a reason. By using PASKR we've been able to pull together the multitude of documents for every phase of a project into one place. Nothing kills productivity faster than people across the company using different systems and formats to handle the many tasks we all manage. From pre-construction, distributing plans, estimating and contracting, through construction and closeout, PASKR brings the whole team together and creates consistent documentation from one project to the next. It doesn't just organize processes internally. It also gives our subcontractor network direct access and communication so they can quickly see and understand all the important job details. Our field crew really appreciates the punchlist feature, they can record every fix or improvement that's needed, immediately assign which subcontractor is responsible, note exactly where and when the issue was spotted and then send emails right away to notify the subcontractors. And I have to mention the support, it stands out compared to any other construction software I've used. Live chat support is available every day and the reps can answer questions on the spot, whether the issue is big or small. On top of that, PASKR includes an extensive library of tutorial videos that our team uses regularly.

Cons

I'd like to see the estimating templates refreshed so they can incorporate cost-code-specific pricing for each particular product type.

“Bidding features stand out

Pros

Personally what strikes me most are the tools for bidding and estimating, covering the invitations through reports.

Cons

Like with most programs there are minor tweaks I'd change if I were coding it and honestly I sort of can. PASKR consistently welcomes suggestions to improve the user experience and they listen for ways to make it better

“Keeps getting better

Pros

As someone who works with Paskr, I've seen it continually evolve to help us move faster across every facet of project management. It feels user-friendly and it keeps everything organized. RFIs, meeting notes, submittals, daily logs and a host of other records are all in one place. Within our company it's used widely, from field supers to project managers and even our estimator. It also simplifies sending documents to subs for bids, addendums, ASIs, PCOs and change orders.

Cons

Honestly the only downside I can point to is that it's not yet compatible with every other software we use. That said I've noticed the Paskr team is relentless about closing those gaps and constantly working on better integrations. They seem committed to making it cover all construction needs, whether it's issuing contracts, tying into accounting systems or handling all the processes in between.

“Boosted our efficiency

Pros

One of the biggest benefits I notice is how much efficiency it brings to our organization. We have far less paperwork thanks to the platform's basic workflows. On a day-to-day level it saves us both time and money and it gives us useful checks and balances for our project finances and operational processes.

Cons

Every so often I run into programming bugs but that seems inevitable and Paskr typically fixes them quickly. What frustrates me more is the planroom, I wish it were more user-friendly and that annotating plans was simpler. I also want more control over document approval workflows. Right now, when I try to restrict permissions it removes access for everyone else in the same role so taking rights away from one person ends up affecting all other employees in that category (superintendent, project manager, accountant).

“Top-notch support

Pros

For our team, it made things incredibly simple. After integrating our company contacts we were operational almost instantly. The way estimates flow into contracts and then into project management saves us a ton of time. The chat support and training have been excellent!

Cons

We could really use the ability to tweak or fully customize reports. We're also running into internal snags around contract approvals. Some of it's just learning to work the "Paskr" way but additional options to customize and to expand job-level contact fields for subs would genuinely help our workflow.

“Well organized web interface

Pros

I find the PM web interface really simple to use. Once I got past the initial setup and figured out the learning curve, it's saved me countless hours handling contracts, change orders and similar tasks. I also rely on it heavily for field documentation and keeping communication with the office clear.

Cons

It feels like it needs to be more flexible overall. The purchase order workflow definitely needs improvement and I wish the reporting tools were more customizable and presented in a way that's easier for me and my team to digest.

“everything is well-organized

Pros

What I like is that a general contractor can send me an invitation email directly through this platform and everything feels well-organized.

Cons

The interface doesn't feel vibrant enough for my taste. When I'm staring at a computer all day the muted background and washed-out colors don't do anything to brighten my mood and yes, I realize that's a bit quirky.

“Easy to draft a contract

Pros

I'm really impressed by how simple it is to draft a contract and then have it carried out using the software. It consistently makes editing and finalizing contracts simple and quick to complete.

Cons

When I use the mobile app, I wish it behaved more like the desktop site because some features feel inconsistent between the two.

“awesome billing module

Pros

We find the billing module fantastic. It trims down our monthly workload dramatically, saving us a ton of time every billing cycle. The contracting feature is outstanding and has made that whole workflow far easier to manage.

Cons

I'm aware the scheduling module is still under refinement and getting better. Once it's fully ready, I expect the integration to work flawlessly.

“Great value for money

Pros

I've found the pricing plan offers the strongest value out there. The team is really approachable and easy to work with, whether I'm dealing with tech support or collaborating with developers on custom needs.

Cons

From my experience like most software it has its limitations. You really have to stay inside the provided boundaries and fully switch away from your existing system to get the most benefit from it. Because my company focuses on development and construction, the platform is heavily construction-oriented which sometimes creates particular challenges for our workflows.

“Keeps documentation safe

Pros

Its an excellent hub for keeping all the CM documentation we need from bidding through closeout in one convenient place. One of the standout benefits is how it helps us bring consistency to our project management processes across items like subcontracts, billing and invoicing, submittals, progress meetings and more.

Cons

A problem I've run into is getting old-school subcontractors or owner reps to come on board. Persuading them to use the software can feel like pulling teeth. That said once they grasp the basics of how it works, they generally recognize its advantages pretty quickly.

“Manages administrative tasks for us

Pros

I've been amazed by how much structure and system PASKR has introduced to what used to be a kind of 'brute force' method of managing construction, now we're able to concentrate on production because the administrative tasks essentially manage themselves.

Cons

As with any new idea we ran into a learning curve at first. However if our team is fully behind the integration, the long-term advantages are going to be enormous.

“helps with bidding process

Pros

It really helps our project managers with the bidding process, takes care of subcontracts and change orders and acts as my one-stop shop for project management.

Cons

We're still having poor luck with our bridge setup. Several features remain broken and aren't functioning the way we need them to.

“can access it anywhere

Pros

As a project manager I can oversee projects from bidding through closeout using PASKR. Because it is cloud-based, I can access it anywhere, on the job site or back at the office. It integrates with several other systems to cut down on duplicate data entry. My subcontractors also upload all construction documents, including invoices, through it.

Cons

I'd really like to see a built-in report writer feature. Although it's reports work well for project managers, I find they fall short for accountants and could be more accounting-friendly.

“Provides clear guidance

Pros

I appreciate the strong organization, consistently tidy bookkeeping, the inclusion of subcontracts on every job and the clear guidance it provides to both employees and subcontractors.

Cons

Our company relies on Sage 300 and unfortunately it refuses to allow integration with PASKR. While that's not something PASKR is responsible for, it remains the largest obstacle we need to work around. Because we've depended on this software for more than twelve years, we've developed a number of practical workarounds that let us keep using both systems together despite the lack of direct integration.

“Simple to create contracts

Pros

Several things come to mind when I think about what I like in this software. For one, the integration between estimating and operations has removed a lot of wasted time for our team. Creating contracts, exhibits and other documents is very simple. The check-and-balance process can feel a bit complex at first but it has actually prevented us from making costly contractual mistakes. Approving subcontractor invoices is simple and gives me confidence that all the necessary paperwork is in place. Also the technical support has been outstanding, really responsive and helpful.

Cons

We use the timesheet module regularly and while it functions, I feel it could be improved further to better suit our needs and provide a smoother experience.
