It's widely regarded as the industry standard that many companies choose to adopt. This software has become a go-to option because it sets the benchmark for quality and functionality in the field. Its broad acceptance among companies highlights its reliability and effectiveness in meeting industry needs.

I'm still waiting for my ticket to be completed, and it's been over 4 weeks with no response from the team.

Pros

If you already have their other software, getting this one is a smart move. Just like the salesperson says, you can track your rewards (profit), get accurate takeoffs, and submit everything on time. All of this is pretty much true.

Cons

The salesperson can sometimes come across as aggressive, pushing you to make a purchase immediately, which is not the best approach, especially with a significant amount of money involved. The initial bids are often inaccurate, and you may end up making the final adjustments yourself. While there's a support team available to assist, the cost of training is another expense, and the training time is insufficient. It would be better if they reduced that cost.

Pros

The software just works!! It sounds so unreal, but it's not! We tried two other estimation tools before ViewPoint, and they were slow, poorly designed, and the support was awful! ViewPoint is completely different. The support is amazing, and their trainers genuinely care about making sure you learn the software well. I've never encountered better trainers or more knowledgeable tech support. These guys are too good!

Cons

I can't think of a single drawback to ViewPoint MEP Estimating. It offers excellent value for the money! It's not cheap, but it's definitely a worthwhile investment for me and my company.
