## Reviews

### "Have experience with other software estimating systems." — 5.0/5

> **Lou** | *8 August 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to incorporate to the type of work you do.  It is only limited to your imagination.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the review can be updated to be easier to see what has been reviewed.  I talked about it at our users meeting in Houston earlier this year.  I was told it has been brought up and the software engineers are looking into it.  That is a great thing with HCSS..... taking users comments and making the software better.
> 
> I have had 15 plus years experience  setting up Heavy bid with two different companies.   I changed jobs to another company that had Sharpesoft.  Support was awful.  When ODOT and PENNDOT changed the electronic formatting a few years ago, it was very frustrating because Sharpesoft didn't keep up.  It was a nightmare.  I did change companies once again \&amp; I am a very happy user of HCSS Heavy bid.

### "Timecard, material and equipment tracking" — 4.0/5

> **Joy** | *15 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is so easy to set-up, from adding employees, job classifications, to merging employees into the job, to exporting timecards.  The  setup flow just make sense.  Works great for those who have crews out in the field, foremen can use their tablets to record time, material and equipment used on the job and submit.  No more paper time cards to do manual entry with.
> 
> **Cons**: This software has "user licenses" you have to buy, so at times they may all be used by other users in the company.  It does allow you to "boot" them off, but you better make sure they are not in the middle of something if you do or they will lose the information.  A quick phone call to ask if they can log out is best.
> 
> With heavy job, we were able to transition our export files to a new payroll system when we made a change.  Customer service was excellent at guiding us through the process.

### "Updates Needed" — 3.0/5

> **Rudy** | *24 August 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Support is excellent when using any HCSS software.
> 
> **Cons**: This software needs a total overhaul of its GUI. Why do I feel like I'm using Windows NT or 2000 in the year 2022??? It's unfathomable that this is the best product HCSS can put out. This isn't a free software. And don't get me started on how any time you hit the ESC key on your keyboard trying to close out of a cell (like in Excel) the window you are working on closes without warning thus deleting any unsaved progress - in windows you need to click save as opposed to other windows where it saves automatically as you tab throug...what's that about? Once you know how to navigate the program, it's fairly easy, but that doesn't negate the fact that the software is/feels archaic.

### "HeavyBid" — 5.0/5

> **Dan** | *25 April 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of setting up your crews/equipment/materials is very beneficial in creating estimates. It is very easy to use and pick up on if new.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm honestly having a difficult time trying to think of a negative about HeavyBid.
> 
> I love using HeavyBid. I use it daily and have no complaints about the software.

### "A good tool, but a bit dated" — 4.0/5

> **Jacob** | *17 December 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The desktop app of Heavybid is a powerful tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Can be buggy at times and crash. Takes some time to figure out and has a very old feel.
> 
> Overall it is a useful product. Hopefully the web version is a bit smoother to use.
