Procore

Vorteile

I really had challenges using the basic project management tool for construction projects. They wouldn't fully cover all the diverse needs. Then this one-day and one of my client actually recommended Procore and in a week's time we had already deployed Procore. And I can attest that there is so much difference between Procore and those basic project management tools. Procore is crafted and tailored for the complex stuff. Having multiple sites running at the same time, we have been able to keep up with all of them without any issues. Monitoring them in every step of the cycle upto completion. Gannt charts are my best feature in Procore. They enable us to clearly represent data in a way that everyone understands and comprehends so as to be on the same page. Procore enable us keep us with accurate and realtime data on finances, budget spend , progress of projects and every other aspect of our projects. It makes it even easy to report to our seniors.

Nachteile

Procore is the absolute best there is. We have had a smooth ride with it, all thanks to the diverse community of Users and 24/7 support from the team

Vorteile

The feature that i like the most in Procore is how it beautifully integrates multiple file formats in a construction project. You can view MS Project or P6 schedules, open DWG drawings and specifications. Also the RFI and submittals management is excellent. I specially like the versatility on how can you use it, as you can use it in a mobile device and upload pictures, linking them to a specific task, RFI or punch list item.

Nachteile

Some users may need to customize the interface to their specific needs and workflows, and Procore is a little rigid when it comes to customization.

Vorteile

Procure is very organized and creates a place to be able to manage projects conveniently.

Nachteile

Procure has a lot of functions that one must learn. The train classes that procure provides are definitely not enough. It take quite a long time to figure it out.

Vorteile

Its comprehensive project management capabilities for construction. The platform centralizes communication, document management, and scheduling, making it easy to collaborate across teams. The mobile app is especially helpful for accessing real-time updates and tracking project progress on-site. Procore’s ability to manage RFIs, submittals, and change orders in one place has improved our workflow efficiency.

Nachteile

What I like least is that it can be a bit overwhelming for new users. Some functions require multiple steps, and the system can feel slow at times. Additionally, the cost is higher compared to other tools, which may be a drawback for smaller projects.

Vorteile

Very user friendly, easy to learn & apply to work environment

Nachteile

You are unable to create a CCO from a CE that has more than one line item. This may just have to do with our company as it will not interface with Intacct.

Vorteile

I like the commitment & contract writing with the ability to have current attachments that are project related automatically synced.

Nachteile

The customer service response & the knowledge should be approved upon especially for the price that this paid.

Vorteile

Procore is a well organized, efficient platform with all of the capabilities you could ever need to preform large scale industrial projects all the way down to a simple residential construction.

Nachteile

They do not have an application for computers, so you are forced to use the website.

Vorteile

One spot for all the different phases of the Construction Industry GC related software.

Nachteile

The financial tool was not user friendly and resorted to a different software for subcontractor billings.

Vorteile

I like the detailed format of the software that helps with contracts administration.

Nachteile

Drop-down menus can be simplified and easily clicked so that you don't actually pick the wrong link.

Vorteile

I liked that it gives me easy access to the files related to the project i'm working on

Nachteile

I didn't like that i can't send messages to users, it would help to a lot when you don't have their contact information.

Vorteile

Procore has all aspects of the project centralized into one platform so I can plan everything from a-z in one spot.

Nachteile

One downside to Procore is that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first due to the wide range of features and tools it offers. The initial learning curve can be steep, especially for those unfamiliar with construction management software. Additionally, some customization options for reports and workflows could be more flexible.

Vorteile

I like how dynamic Procore is and how practical it is to manage projects. I really like how easy it is to change orders to an existing billing process. I really recommend it.

Nachteile

It's a bit expensive and people should receive training to use it properly. But those are minor inconveniences.

Vorteile

Saved alot of time with “paperwork “ being able to store info

Nachteile

Certain subjects would get mixed up with wording of materials

Vorteile

In my previous job Procore was an essential support for my duties.

Nachteile

I love everything about it because I organized all photos and Daily report.

Vorteile

The accuracy of measuring my profit margins.

Nachteile

Sometimes at little difficult to navigate.

Vorteile

Workforce planning was the only module that has been useful.

Nachteile

We were sold a product that did not work at all what we were promised. Spent hundreds of man hours to try and correct and were not able with very little support from the Procore team. I would strongly advise not using this company for your estimating/project financial needs.

Vorteile

The amount of jobs up for bid was a solid amount.

Nachteile

The pricing was way to high to make it worth it.

Vorteile

Manner in which we can save documents in folders and make them accessible to all users. Also, financial tools are strong and consistent in interface.

Nachteile

Inspection templates can be made much easier to import. Create more standard templates to import.

Vorteile

Procore makes it very simple to track projects as the modules all 'talk' to each other. It is much more user-friendly than most I have used.

Nachteile

Not much, honestly. It is one of the best construction management programs I have used.

Vorteile

Procore assists our organization help manage employee's times in an efficient manner. We are pleased with the ease of use of the software.

Nachteile

Procore is a highly efficient software. However, we would appreciate a more affordable price based on the software's capabilities.

Vorteile

central location for collating and dispensing of information

Nachteile

sometimes extra steps are required when they do not feel neccesary

Vorteile

I like the function of the drawing tab. The review and submission process is only easy because of the automation the systems helps with.

Nachteile

I am not the biggest fan of the change order system. It is a little confusing and complex. I may just need more practice or shown easier ways.

Vorteile

It's easy to retrieve new documents added in Procore and it's easy to submit documents too. It's very user friendly and you can find what you're looking for easily compared to other similar applications. You can do everything you need to do to manage a project in Procore, it's a very complete application.

Nachteile

Nothing really. I don't have anything that I don't like about Procore.

Vorteile

Offers real-time collaboration, document management, and scheduling capabilities; excellent for managing construction projects.

Nachteile

Compared to more straightforward project management solutions, it may have a steeper learning curve and be more expensive for smaller projects.

Vorteile

One of the best features is the ability for your subcontractors to sign in and submit invoices, change orders, and correspond with you.

Nachteile

The quickbooks integration does not flow as smoothly as it should

Vorteile

Everyone associated with our projects (owners, design team, subcontractors, and our team) has easily accessible access to the project information at any time from anywhere. The system is highly customizable while still being easy to use for the end users. The ability to apply granular permissions when we need someone to have a little more access than others is something I don't see often.

Nachteile

I've always wished we could create reports ourselves and they just debuted this feature. So, nothing that I can think of right now!

Vorteile

The idea of PROCORE looked like a great fit for our company

Nachteile

Customer service was terrible. They have no dedicated pint person for account holders
Integrations did not work as promised

Vorteile

All project financial related items are in the one place - forecasting, subcontracts, POs, progress claiming, variations, etc., which makes it extremely easy to track all project financial elements. It is especially convenient when Procore is used for project control too (i.e., RFIs, document control, etc.), making it even more streamlined.

Nachteile

It can be annoying that you can't amend variations after they are approved. You also can't amend PO/SC SOV line items after an invoice has been uploaded, which makes the invoice process quite time consuming.

Vorteile

Truthfully, nothing. I was so disgusted with the whole thing. We spent six months trying to get Procore's customer success team to get us functional but it was nothing but problems and delays. Multiple times per week we sent them messages with all the error messages we were getting and got a bunch of "We'll get back to you" type responses. Truly the worst customer service experience I've ever had.

Nachteile

Everything. For starters, I really disliked their refusal to refund all the money I paid them after complete failure on their part. We spent $20,000 and got literally nothing for our money besides wasted time and frustration.

Vorteile

Initially it seemed very easy to integrate and use the software from bidding to QB integration.

Nachteile

Sales team upsold us with QB Connector, but failed to deliver the same functionality as shown. Sales team showed capability of QB (Online only) connector integration, using many cost codes, and the product database with labor / material. Never disclosed QB Desktop connector doesn't have the same functionality until 1.5 months after purchase when implementing software. Implementation service team finally discloses can't use the various cost codes, but also requires user to separate all material and labor for all database items, causing double the time to bid projects. Procore management refuses to respond, sitting now for 3-weeks without any communication for resolution. Software is unable to be used, and can't integrate any ERP for budgets, bids, and completely useless. Beware of this for small business owners, Procore management will strong arm you, even when their Terms and Conditions state refund is applicable when they misrepresented their product capability, therefore costing you an additional $2k for software you can't use. They will hold out and cost you money each week, after being notified through BBB of compliant and refusing to acknowledge their own integration issues.

Vorteile

Procore is a fantastic ERP system that can connect project management and accounting, as well, as external subcontractors, vendors, and owners. All information regarding a project can be found in one place, with permission setting available to prevent users from accessing things they should not.

Nachteile

You are not able to drill down into budget line items to see what the breakdown of cost is. This may just be how our system is configured though since we do not enter expenses directly into Procore, but rather sync them from Sage Intacct.

Vorteile

I like the way it integrates the full time employees with the contractors along with the stakeholders of the project and the business. Very insightful, detailed and effective tool

Nachteile

The costing is high, initial use requires some training which again involves cost

Vorteile

I can have closer communication with my work team to keep track and monitor the tasks carried out, better coordination in each process from start to finish, managing to have the tasks on time for delivery, I liked it because I manage many projects in one just software that helps me have order

Nachteile

I actually like everything, no problems or malfunctions have ever happened to me.

Vorteile

Ability for different groups to work together and share information on large construction projects.

Nachteile

Sometimes the item or page you are looking for can be 2 or 3 pages deep.

Vorteile

Versatility with different apps and solution providers.

Nachteile

Scheduling tool and job costing need help.

Vorteile

Procore allows everyone in the organization from the office to the field to the architects to collaborate on a project

Nachteile

Sometimes it takes a bit for everyone to see the documents in the folders

Vorteile

It's interactivity between the users (subcontractors and project manager). I like that the subs can find all of the project info in one place and even accessible on their phone.

Nachteile

I could get very complicated very fast. It is important to take the classes before you start implementing it with one of your projects.

Vorteile

This app is very user friendly. It has all the functions someone in the construction industry needs.

Nachteile

The price is a bit higher than the company wanted to pay.

Vorteile

Management of project with procore is smooth and straightforward. You are able to share large volume data and documents. It's a tool that enhance team collaboration.

Nachteile

Other than the cost of acquiring the license, everything works fine.

Vorteile

We have a new Customer Success Manager who is far more engaged than previously. Fairly comprehensive

Nachteile

The integration process was a nightmare given the right individuals were not engaged in the conversation. Users do not know what they don't know- we need our software partners to help us understand limitations. Not FedRamp certifiedNot the best platform for projects with numerous areas

Vorteile

The program is easy to navigate and the information is easily tracked.

Nachteile

All information is not available. Contractors tend to block certain information.

Vorteile

Procore gives you an easy to use platform to share construction progress, plan sets, deadlines, and communicate updates

Nachteile

The platform can be clunky to use - for instance, downloading plan sets is not as intuitive as it should be and things such as going back to various pages are not intuitive.

Vorteile

Procore is an extensive construction management platform that combines most of the workflows from groundbreaking to punch list

Nachteile

From a liability standpoint, all of the data and documents that reside within Procore must also be duplicated on local networks to ensure redundant access.

Vorteile

IT ACTS AS ONE DATABASE FOR ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION PROCESS.

Nachteile

IT OCASSIONALLY HAS GLITCHES WHICH IS BASED ON THE SETUP OF THE SYSTEM BY THE ADMIN. IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON IS A PRIORITY REVIEWER ON A SUBMITTAL IT WILL GET STUCK RATHER THAN PASS ON TO THE NEXT OFFICE.

Vorteile

The process of uploading Drawings is quite simple compare to other products.

Nachteile

Sometimes Procore does not read the drawings properly therefore the automatic information that it inputs is incorrect. Additionally Timesheets through Procore is not feasible.

Vorteile

The tracking of projects and the ease of use.

Nachteile

Its slow alot of times when you try to open it up on desktop.

Vorteile

Great brand known by all. They offer fantastic support and amazing PM tools to empower project teams, from accounting to the field.

Nachteile

Financials can be a bit difficult to implement and train users on and accounting integrations may fall short in certain areas.
