Viewpoint For Projects
Viewpoint MEP Estimating (formerly known as Maxwell Estimation) is a construction estimating solution that allows users to generate estimates and takeoff for HVAC, mechanical and residential and commercial plumbing and electrical firms. It offers trade-specific estimating capabilities, such as for general contractors, speciality trade contractors and excavating contractors.
Key features include visual assemblies, proposal generators, historical database, “what-if” analysis and Excel integration. The integrated takeoff module allows users to download plans from online plan rooms and use them to generate takeoffs without stylus pens and digitizer boards.
Viewpoint MEP Estimating also offers integration with digitizer boards, such as GTCO’s Rollup Digitizer and Rigid Digitizer. The Rollup Digitizer is a smile digitizer built for use in the field and designed to fit in a carrying case, while the Rigid Digitizer is a permanent fixture.
Other features include conversion calculator, CAD file integration and automatic scaling.

Not great for project management documentation/site supervision. Its difficult to use and train those who are not familiar with computers to use. If you don't know the right tricks it just doesn't work.
Pros
Viewpoint for Projects has good layout and organizing functions. A lot of options available for security of various files and documentation processes.
Cons
It is very cumbersome, difficult to up load and view files. No thumbnail options for viewing pictures make it difficult to preview photos before selecting them to add comments to etc. The internet link is always slow, creating issues with their desktop app and opening and saving files. Also not compatible with AutoCAD or current design software. Not practical for construction documentation management.

Pros
easy of printing checks, enrolling employees and pushing it into payroll or Hr module easily.Ease of use and integration between modules and with other applications. We use several other products that we import from and export to.
Cons
current reports leave out a lot of necessary data, crystal reports not customized.Lack of strong financial statement writer. Currently using FRx . . . we know that we need to move, but haven't found anything that is as flexible. We cannot get good cost analyst report on equipment use.
