Friday, October 1, 2021 #98834 Ralph T “Great tool, user friendly with intuitive structure” Pros: It simply was easy to use. Had never used the project as every job seems to have their own version i.e. EPM, FACTS, Orbit. I was able to continue with inputs in the manner that was set up for the project an had no trouble maintaining the file structure. Cons: There could be some sign in shortcuts but other than that very intuitive. Did you find this review helpful?
Friday, October 1, 2021 #98833 LeaAnna W “Awesome Program!” Overall: I love their customer service. I am constantly emailing questions and always get back a friendly timely helpful response :) Pros: I love how configurable this program is! You are able to really 'Make it your own' which is perfect for different types of industries and Project Management styles! Cons: I wish the reporting was a bit better. You are able to report off of a lot of the information but combining different module information requires additional fees. Dashboard reports are very basic and not sharable. Reasons for Switching to Projectmates: Was not a great Project Management Software Did you find this review helpful?

Thursday, September 30, 2021 #98832 Steve G “Intuitive Software - Our Clients Love it!” Overall: Our main client, a Federal Government Agency, is very happy with the ease of use by their stakeholders.

Pros: Seamless processing of everyday Construction Projects tasks: RFIs, Submittals, Schedule Updates, Daily Reports, Photos, and Ball-in Court management. Cons: I really can't think of any issues with the software. Did you find this review helpful?

Tuesday, June 1, 2021 #94737 Jennifer G. from Commercial Real Estate, Unspecified I like the Contracts, Change Orders, and Invoice side of this software the best. Most Project Management software has document storage but lacks on the Financial side. This one does not! I can track my budget to commitments as well as track what I have paid to date. I can also set the approvals for each financial module easily as well as change them on a Project level as my needs change. As for Systemates, owners of Projectmates, they are extremely responsive and helpful. As the system administrator for this software I need to tweak roles, picklist and dropdowns, and approvals often, they help me think through my changes before I make them and help me make small program changes with me when I get stuck. By far, this is on of the most affordable programs out there. Did you find this review helpful?
Thursday, June 18, 2020 #98837 Doug M “State of the Art Platform” Overall: Love it. Pros: Functionality from bid submittal to approval and invoicing. Cons: When setting up a project it would be helpful to require a job name in the "Bid" column so all projects get alphabetized which makes it much easier to locate. Also helpful would be the ability to sort by project data and/or to be able to search projects that have been submitted, contract status and completion.

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 #98830 Chuck B Overall: Very positive. Helps to keep the budget and costs organized. Pros: Easy to use; flexible; somewhat intuitive. Cons: Vendor report feature could be improved. Vendor Summary should include the sum total of the original contract, plus any change orders added. As it is now, you have to use a calculator to find this number. Also, if you show the total amount of committed cost, this would allow for the balance of what's remaining in a commitment to be quickly identified. Again, the only way to see what's left is to use a calculator to find the commitment balance. Alternatives Considered: Procore Reasons for Choosing Projectmates: Projectmates is more Owner friendly. Procore is more suited for a GC. Did you find this review helpful?
