January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros The ease of use is non comparable on similar electronic systems. Everything is clearly laid out and it is easy to navigate and search for what is required. Cons Sometimes lots of java extensions etc. need to be updated and downloaded to view certain file types or preview the files without downloading which can get a bit annoying. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Design Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use Document Control System" January 18, 2018 4.0 Pros Files can be indexed and are easy to search. Multiple versions and revisions are easy to find and compare. Cons Further work is needed on outputting of reports. Whilst the inbuilt systems give an overview in order to produce meaningful reports you need to extract the data and use external systems. Review Source SD Simon D. BIM Consultant Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The worst piece of software I use on a daily basis" January 17, 2018 1.0 It provides a workspace compliant with BS1192. Other than that, it's a pain to work with and manage. Pros It's better than Asite Classic. The site is generally fast-loading. Cons Some parts of the site load very slowly (forms etc). It's unituitive; you never know quite which tab to look for something, so takes longer than it should to get used to the system. Workspaces are OK but there are key features missing (e.g. why can't I easily see which users have access to a file?). The BIM Common Data Environment is not bad, but feels hacked together (for example, when I add a new user to the workspace I have to manually distribute files to them; they can't just see what's already been sent to that role). PPMT is slow and hard to use. Adoddle still doesn't have the full suite of administration tools so I still need to delve into Asite Classic for certain tasks. Reviewing, marking up and commenting on documents is very tricky, and although the audit trail is there it's hard to unearth and to understand. Even though I've turned off notification emails I still get them occasionally. The incomplete/overdue actions counters never seem to work as they vary depending on which workspaces you've got in your filter, so they're useless for quickly getting to the things you need to do to clear all your actions.

January 17, 2018 4.0 Easier coordination and single information portal for the entire project team. Pros The ability to share comments and track drawing and design progress using an online platformis great. We regularly go back and forth within the design team to create and design the best overall solution for the client. The ability to comment within minutes of a drawing being uploaded is exteremely useful. Cons The file viewing applet can sometimes take time to load but works well with patience. Sometimes when downloading files the QR code that is automatically applied to downloaded PDFs obscures details and text. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Quantity Surveyor Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very helpful software when used correctly" January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros Easy to navigate Provides ease of contract management Provides contractual forms for use throughout the contract Cons Needs to be implemented properly to have positive impact Sometimes difficult to locate items Search bar sometimes difficult to use properly Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use the software as a client. The tool offers all functions required to administer contracts" January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is easy to use with little or no training - the interface is very intuitive to navigate to find what you are looking for. Cons Abilities to batch approve drawings. This is probably more associated with upload procedures/ behaviours and possibly could be resolved through additional training.

The system is simple to use." January 17, 2018 4.0 overview of project costs, simple to see all funding and spend in profile and to see where changes are needed. Pros The software is easy to use and to enter data into. It is also simple to use as a reviewing tool, quickly accessing projects to oversee their funding, spend profile and help manage their progression. A useful note tool allows users to jot down changes and reason for change to a project, allowing for continuity. Cons It is possible to change historic information on a project which is very useful however, there is no automatic or 'secure' note on the system to dictate what changes have been made and by whom. This means that projects could be updated and historic, important, information lost. I think a tool that provided an update of changes and by whom which is encrypted (so no changes can be made to the note) would be useful. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mediocre" January 17, 2018 3.0 Pros Good for adding and accessing drawings, handy for adding other documentation, everyone can see everything that is uploaded so keeps people in the loop Cons Too many emails updating me on drawings that didn't concern my trade, interface was not the most straightforward to use Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Consultant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quality product for simple complex projects " January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros Very easy to set up out of the box Intuitive user experience Clean and uncluttered Very strong document management capability Workflows are simple to use Cons Often cost functionality is too simplistic Dates UI puts off some of our customers Additional functionality needed to make it appropriate for managing programs of work Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hamstrung, repetitive, slow, backward" February 5, 2018 2.0 Pros There's not a lot to think about that is a positive here. I can't think of a feature that we use as a user that is actually any way better than competitor products. Cons Folders as a paradigm for upload. UI/UX is inconsistent. UI is bloated and not focussed on critical path - style over function. Review Source HR Helen R. Section Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Generally Good but have some suggestions for features" January 18, 2018 4.0 Pros Saved searches are good could be improved by allowing users to set the content of the search too as a quick link, Adoddle view is intuitive but you have to stop looking at the document to perform any actions on it (all the right click on the search result actions would be handy), also would be really good to be able to write comments in the panel on the left with the document view open . Being able to see the document history is good but perhaps could be improved with filters (dont' always need to know when anyone has ever read the document) Cons Email notification summary isn't particularly useful, could perhaps be a grid with required/Overdue on one axis and action type on the other? If I have an action to review its much more important than 'For Information' Review Source KC Kl C. Project Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Asite Document Server" June 22, 2022 4.0 Pros it can search by simply key words which easy for me to find some long old document. Cons sometimes too much sub folder which cause hidden files, need to have clear table to show all items Review Source Response from Asite Solutions July 11, 2022 Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We'll pass along the kind words. Our team is always trying to make sure our users have a great outcome using Asite. SG Samantha G. Document Control Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adoddle Review" August 29, 2019 1.0 Negative - Would not recommend. Pros No notable pro's to report for Asite. I would not recommend this software. Cons I didn't like much about the system; from functionality to the interface, the software is below the standard of other document management systems available on the market. Alternatives considered [Oracle Aconex](https://www.capterra.com/p/220249/Oracle-Aconex/) Reason for choosing Asite Client dictated Review Source MA MOHAMMED A. Senior Document Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review on Addle " October 1, 2019 5.0 1\. Overall experience superb with Adoddle - Asite 2. Enjoying the work with Adoddle - Asite Pros 1\. Its very user friendly 2. Easy to adopt for new users 3. Bulk Editing is the easiest way to edit the document metadata. 4. Easy to Extract the reports. Cons Nothing noticed about the least in Adoddle Asite. Review Source CJ Chris J. Project Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Asite Addodle is very user friendly and greatly facilitates the management of the contract" January 17, 2018 4.0 It would be very difficult to manage the contract without it. Pros The CAMS system is very intuitive and clear - it is very well aligned with the NCE contract. Functions such as the management of Early Warnings and Compensation Events are particularly useful. Cons The edit and comment functions are a little less intuitive and user friendly - these could be improved. Review Source RH Rhys H. Trainee Technical Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great document control software" January 17, 2018 4.0 Easy to access wherever you are Pros Alot different features and can do so much with it. Easily view documents wherever there is a internet connection and ensure they are the latest version Cons Can be difficult to use to its fully capacity without a lot of training. Also isn't as used in the industry as some others so requires a lot of Review Source EH Emily H. Senior Officer - Flood Risk Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User interface confusing ' unhelpful. No zoom out so endless scrolling in large spreadsheets." January 17, 2018 1.0 I can submit project information to the Environment Agency online monthly. Pros It's available online via a password so can be used anywhere Cons User interface very difficult to use - no zoom out function for large spreadsheets results in endlessly scrolling through and easily losing your place so the feature becomes hugely frustrating. Don't have access to previous versions of the documents/forms for reference which is an oversight. At times I can see projects in the system for a few hours that I shouldn't have access too. Editors of the online form/documents are limited which is not always useful.Unable to edit important parts of the form to represent financial aspects of the projects which are important, however, this seems to be the choice of the master administrator. Buttons to submit forms or files are lost in the interface - just a drop down option to the side is not clear. Also, it is unclear that a document/form has been submitted - requiring double checking. For some reason, the interface is different for different members of my team, so can't compare or help each other with such problems. Basic usability lacking. Review Source GB Graham B. Flood Risk Advisor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Usually okay, sometimes frustrating." January 17, 2018 3.0 Pros The software is user friendly and much improved in comparison with the classic version. When I need support it is provided quickly. Cons It doesn't meet all of our business needs and can sometimes be confusing for users due to the complexity of the different tabs. Review Source MW Marc W. UK BIM Developemnt Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "simple to use, no real bells and whistles. needs additional functionality now. its aging" January 17, 2018 3.0 Pros simplicity, ftp with database functionality. simple or sophisticated structure. however you need it. reliability excellent Cons getting left behind. needs a distribution server locked on, better viewer locked on. make it a future proof product Review Source RG Rachel G. Office Assistant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My colleagues use Asite almost all the time so it is a very useful computer software programme. " January 17, 2018 3.0 Pros Easy to use. When I first started using Asite it did not take me long for me to learn how to use it. No trouble finding or uploading documents/drawings on Asite. Cons I think the actual layout of the programme could do with being updated or modernised. The actual software itself sometimes has trouble loading or does not load at all and 'Error' is shown on my screen. Review Source MF Manuel F. I'M Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice and easy to use!!" January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros The format, it's simple and intuitive!! I have used the software for the last 2 years and it really works. Good presentation, easy to use, it's functional. In a few words it's Nice and Easy to use. Review Source JL Joshua L. Quantity Surveyor Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It has been really helpful using Asite in terms of communication" January 17, 2018 5.0 Easy Communication Pros It is user friendly and it makes communication very easy between the client and its contractors. Also, it gives reminders about action to be done or overdue. Cons It is sometimes not that fast especially when you are trying to go back to the previous page you want. You may need to click the home button to go back. Review Source RL Ricky L. Digital Systems Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall happy, customer service is mostly very good and pleasant. " January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros Document management is really good, ability to create our own forms is great. We do like the customization in having what we want o our forms. Cons When creating forms we are stuck using InfoPath 2013 which isnt great, we're still waiting for the HTML form builder to see how far we can go with it. Review Source RS Richard S. Operations Co-ordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Operations Review" June 30, 2022 3.0 It's OK, we needed more support to set up the projects Pros Easy to find documents and the mark up tools are easy to use Cons To many features and very complicated, if something goes wrong it could be a significant number of things that take time to explore to find out the cause of the problem. Review Source Response from Asite Solutions July 11, 2022 Thank you Richard for your review! We are glad to hear that our markup tools and document management feature are benefiting your work. We've passed along your concerns about Asite's features to our product team. We love hearing from our customers and we're always looking for ways to improve our product. JD John D. Senior Estimator Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is the worst download site I have ever used" January 18, 2018 1.0 Pros There is absolutely nothing positive I can find about this site. There is not one single thing about it which, even remotely, strikes me as a good idea. It needs a complete rethink from the end users point of view, not the programmers ego. Cons The use has clearly been designed by a geek & is probably brilliant in their eyes. However, as an end user I don't have the time to spend mucking about trying to get logged in or password verified just to get some drawings & a specification. It is not rocket science & does not need a level of security far in excess of the FBI. It is not well thought out, it is over complex & unintuitive Review Source Similar Products Featured
