CMiC

Avantages

My experience with the software has been good, however, there are some kinks that need to be worked out. Unfortunately the performance of the software varies where identifying a problem in CMiC has to be escalated to support.

1.) Ease of use.
2.) Ease of journal entries. Clearly formatted.
3.) Internet-based - can be accessed from anywhere.

Inconvénients

1.) Lack of consistency in some of the processes such as job billing.
2.) Slow downs in the software that we are not notified about until we contact support.

Avantages

- easy to use (after proper training)
- comparable to other similar software in the market

Avantages

I am a new user. Once you understand how the systems works, the process is very similar no matter which area you are working in.

Inconvénients

So much detail to figure out just to get started! Not knowing when you decide to enter something how it will effect other area's.

Avantages

So far we are still training so hard to tell once we go live as to how it is going to transfer over. So far it is pretty straight
forward and easy to learn program

Inconvénients

Its a little difficult to upload budgets but I am sure once using it will become easier

Avantages

Change order logs are simple to use and track for client and site review.

Avantages

The project management software and the way it interacts with email.

Avantages

If you want one software for everything, this is a great tool for your business. It has every department covered.

Inconvénients

It's too much for a sub contractor. Price, features, everything is just not designed for a small to medium business. This is for the big boys.

Avantages

Our company is new with this software - but we love all of the options it provides.
- Lots of options
- Incorp's many functions into 1 software
- Cloud-Based

Inconvénients

Payroll can be cumbersome

Avantages

Information access

Avantages

Functional in reporting and compiling information
Adaptive, allowing for creating on what your organization needs
Inegrative with current software and 3rd party systems.

Inconvénients

UX/UI is lacking and seems outdated
Cost money to develop it to what is needed
Very little has been done in R and D

Avantages

RFI, weekly meetings and daily reports

Inconvénients

pop up windows

Avantages

CMIC is an impressive product with tons of features, functionality, scalable to a large number of users and stable. It also has the ability to integrate with a few of our key platforms.

Inconvénients

While the pros are there, it comes with a price. The implementation will take atleast 6 months and often times close to a year based on all of the configuration and training needed. Also, become very dependent on the CMIC team for custom items and going forward. Make sure your business demands this level of enterprise application and that you've done enough homework to have everyone on the same page. I can see it very valuable for large GC's however any specialty trade or smaller construction will have a challenging time.

Avantages

Submittal tracking

Avantages

I use a little bit of the accounting and that works well. Three things i like about the software:
1. Web based 2. Clean interface 3. Good training staff

Inconvénients

1. When things are entered or saved I wish the page would turn or go gray its confusing if it actually saved. 2. No payroll access yet 3. The name

Avantages

well organized, once you get some familiarity with the layout you can retrieve critical pieces of information on the fly, especially on an Ipad when walking in the field

Inconvénients

it can seem overly complicated when you first get started to send RFI's this is relieved after some experience.

Avantages

What a simple and easy program! I am able to compose contracts in half the time compared to our old system!!

Inconvénients

I understand that updates have to happen, but I don't care for when there is an update and it interrupts some of my documents.

Avantages

I like that once the information has been entered, it creates an ease in executing documents. I can see this software really taking a lot of error out of certain processes.

Inconvénients

I don't think that the steps are easy to follow unless following written instruction.

Avantages

It is cloud-based. There's no need to do periodic updates and maintain the software ourselves.

Inconvénients

They're still working out a few kinks. Mouse and data entry isn't as smooth as it should be. It's somewhat sensitive and I get kicked out often. Different web browsers work differently. I'm constantly changing web browsers due to this.

Avantages

The fact that the program is a cloud based solution is a major plus. This allows for access from anywhere where there is adequate Internet access.

Inconvénients

The menus seem overcrowded and not intuitive. The support personnel needed to be more trained and familiar with the product they are supporting.

Avantages

Not as difficult to learn as JD Edwards.

Inconvénients

I don't have any Cons yet.

Avantages

We came from a QuickBooks and spreadsheet environment, and this is a whole different world. I love the product and the people we've been dealing with. The product really is light years ahead of everyone else.

Inconvénients

There are lots of options, which on the whole works well once you know what's going on.

Avantages

I like the change order management capabilities.

Inconvénients

There are sometimes too many restrictions between users in our company.

Avantages

Pros:
1. Very easy to use
2. We can customized reports based on our requirements
3. Centralized database

Inconvénients

Some reports need an improvement, but not a big issue.. CMiC really satisfies me..... good job

Avantages

Not really anything. It still works like a beta program with major problems throughout. We were unable collectively to use this software.

Inconvénients

It still works like Beta program. It has many glitches that always baffled all of us.

Avantages

Easy to follow.

Avantages

No paper

Avantages

Logging in is easy.

Avantages

Report generating

Inconvénients

Ease of use

Avantages

I really like the functionality, and that fact that all information is stored in one system means I don't have to worry about bridged systems that don't play nice with eachother.

Inconvénients

Takes some time to implement so make sure you have the correct resources in place for a successful implementation.

Avantages

Good customer service.
The product applies very well to our needs. Unlike other products, this software doesn't try to cover all the possible aspects in the industry, which makes it easy to use and understand. It doesn't over complicate things. We are still learning how to use it, but my colleagues and I, we are pleased with the way the training is going so far.

Inconvénients

To date, it is a very pleasant experience. We are in the trainning phase, but it went very smoothly so far.

Avantages

It's easy to use, connects all different departments, and makes it easy to manage a project. Our subcontractors and architects can collaborate with us. Implementation was a breeze!

Inconvénients

There isn't anything that comes to mind; we are very happy with the choice we made.

Avantages

Web based app running on standard Oracle database back end. Ability down the road to open it up to outside contractors also.

Inconvénients

Environment required set up of at least 8 servers so far with more to come as we get ready for the load balances and possible dmz for outside access.

Avantages

The integration to our established accounting system worked very well. I am able to submit payment requests and track them through the system.

Inconvénients

The GUI is not the sharpest, but flashy isn't always better. I believe in function over form in the end.

Avantages

I wanted the cloud hosting and didn't want to have to have a 25 seat minimum. The three seat minimum was great for our size company and our current needs. The contacts I had with the company seemed more helpful than I had with some of the other companies I was looking in to.

Inconvénients

The start up / implementation process seems to be lengthy and slow BUT thorough.

Avantages

The idea that it is an all inclusive software for Contract Management and Accounting

Inconvénients

CMiC is great at sales but lacking in efficiency and honest product representation. The product itself - CMiC Cloud - has not been developed for the Architectural industry and requires tons of customization (at a hefty price) and software accommodation.

Avantages

The Outlook integration! It makes it so easy to manage all my documents and change orders. Cloud access allows me to work from anywhere and allows Subcontractors to fill in quotes online. The reporting is very extensive.

Inconvénients

It's very robust. There's almost too much functionality for our size, but we can hide the parts we don't need.

Inconvénients

No issues.
