Pros The cloud bases structure and easy to use functions made this software power full. Cons Some recommendations are below. 1)If we can fix a color , legend size and shape for an assembly it would be great so that we dont need to select it all time. 2)Option to select a particular area for take off would be great. 3)Option to download all take off drawings to PDF at once.

May 10, 2019 4.0 After searching for estimating software for almost 5 years, installing trial software, talking with tech support, even hiring a programmer to build our own system, the hunt ended with Esticom. Getting the system up and running was a breeze and my company now has a uniform database to build estimates from. Pros The ability to simply enter lines of product and adjust all elements across the board: unit costs, markup, labor hours and difficulty factors are the stand out elements! Finding software that accomplishes this simple but tedious (if using Excel) task has changed our company's workflow. Cons First and foremost this software is for estimating purposes. It dabbles in the process of automatically creating a quote to send to customers but lacks the customizability to make it your own. (In contrast to the many variables you can manipulate on the estimating side.) For now my team continues to use Word to provide our scopes of work with our personalized touch. Review Source JI Jim I. Ownber Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Esticom review as requested " January 13, 2020 3.0 It has sped up my estimating process Pros Customer service was very good , useage was easy to get onto Cons The estimate submission - breakout of the pst is awkward . I would more flexability with my final price to submit to client . Reason for choosing Procore Estimating price , customer service , ease of use Switched from [Trimble Accubid Anywhere](https://www.capterra.com/p/193712/Trimble-Accubid-Anywhere/) ease of use , price Review Source MW Mark W. Sr. Infrastructure Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "EstiCom for Telecom Estimating" May 7, 2019 4.0 EstiCom has been a great add to our business. The catalog feature keeps our quotes consistent, and the efficiencies it brings to the table have allowed us to increase the number of quotes each Estimator can send in a given time frame! Pros This software is affordable and cloud-based, so my team can access it from anywhere they have an internet connection. It's user-friendly, comprehensive and professional. The stock catalogs are also very helpful. Cons While the cloud-based software offers many benefits, it can also be a drawback if you need to be able to access your quotes while you're offline (such as in-flight or in a remote area). You're also at the mercy of the development team when you see functions/formats that could use an update, and when the software is updated (since updates are not optional). Review Source Timothy S. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great time saver!" January 13, 2020 5.0 This is a great software for anyone who wants to shorten the amount of time and money spent on estimating. It produces great print edits for workers and customers. Pros Speeds up the estimating process. They are always expanding and improving the software. Cons Not a lot of extra drawing functions for customization. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Industry specific with a great price point. Review Source BS Ben S. owner Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brief review of Esticom " May 8, 2019 5.0 I have had nothing but great experiences with the team at Esticom, every call and email have been answered promptly and most of my questions were easy to implement the solution for. Pros Esticom has saved us a tremendous amount of time in our estimating process. With having auto-count and linear average I can get most plans done in minutes instead of hours now. Cons It took a little bit to dial in the percentages and cost for products in our area but now that that is done I only review costs with my vendors when they tell me their is going to be a change.

Estimator Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Professional and user friendly takeoff software" July 28, 2020 5.0 I liked it Pros I used it for the HVAC takeoff estimation. I can almost find everything I want in their libraries. Besides, it needs minimum learning and you can start right after you enter the site. It doesn't need installation and all you need is web access. The navigations between plans and scaling are also easy. I have three other colleagues and we start to try it together and all of us are satisfied with the performance of the software in different trades like plumbing, masonry, and concrete Cons The price is a little high and dependency to internet access could be a problem sometimes Review Source BW Brian W. Systems Consultant Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Definitely makes my job easier" May 7, 2019 4.0 Great, 9/10 would recommend. Executive was very responsive and the price is super reasonable. Pros Being able to quickly and fairly accurately count, label, measure and itemize a project without having to print the plans, wait on the plotter or waste the paper. GUI is intuitive, streamlined and quick to use. Cons My only wish is to be able to save a template and apply it after I've started a project. I haven't gotten around to asking if that's an option but so far as I can tell, you have to copy a previous job or template and apply it before you create the project or upload plans. Review Source NN Nicholaus N. Solutions Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Project Help" May 14, 2019 4.0 We were marking up plans with a pen and a highlighter prior to getting esticom so this made that process much easier Pros Esticom has made quoting jobs much easier. The tool loads quickly and if you take the time to setup your assemblies it makes quoting jobs very easy. Cons The scale can be thrown off if the plans were printed via PDF Review Source Derek L. Production Business Associate Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Less time to get more done" September 5, 2019 5.0 Overall we really enjoy the cloud integration and plan on working with Esticom. Pros The first thing that pops to my mind that really brought us to Esticom is the cloud support. Super easy to share reports and actions with the team. Cons Creating the templates for our team did cause a bit of confusion. We eventually figured it out after referring to their website. Review Source BH Bryan H. President Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "9.5 out of 10! Esticom is big help." December 19, 2019 5.0 With Esticom, we are definitely cranking out bids faster which is a huge plus. Thanks Esticom...I look forward to seeing what your updates will bring. Pros The take-off process (auto-count) and time saving are definitely the best features of the product but there are several others that make the product worthwhile. 1. Covering additional expenditures like overhead and waste is wonderful. 2. Ability to apply difficulty levels is nice. 3. Ability to export BOM saves time. Cons Here are few items that take away from the software but the techies at Esticom are very responsive so perhaps some of these can be improved on future updates. 1. Within the take-off process, it would be terrific if I could copy and paste take-off items and paste them to other groups. It's nice to be able to duplicate the take-off within the group but sometimes you just need specific items within other and not the whole group duplicated. 2. Not a big deal but it would be good if any quantities applied to take-offs within the 'estimating' phase could show up on the take-off phase to avoid confusion. 3. This has been mentioned by others but, it would be great to be able to customize the export bid PDF. Simple customizations to font and letterhead would be useful. 4. It would be nice to be able to copy the selected area of a legend or symbols and copy them other drawings. I see that there is a legend feature on the right side of the options on the take-off page but it doesn't seem to do anything but show a 'legend' word. 5. It would be great to be able to create a new 'group' within the take-off page without going to the estimating page. I know you can duplicate a take-off group but again, sometimes you don't want all the same items from other take-off items. 6. It would be nice to have the ability to multi-select items that you want to delete or copy. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Mainly, the auto-count feature during the take-off process. Review Source FB Frank B. Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Esticom Value and Innovation" May 10, 2019 5.0 We have worked with several staff members, all our professional. They have taken our ideas and worked hard to accommodate our reporting and functional needs. You will not see that form of out of the box thinking from many other developers. Pros The team and I appreciated the ease of use. It has significant power to perform all the required work of the larger more expensive packages, but still gives you the flexibility to make it a custom fit for you. Cons Only cloud based at this moment. I hope in future releases they will issue a server based stand alone platform for our secure projects. Review Source VP Vadim P. Electrician Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great easy software gets the job done right" January 3, 2020 4.0 I use this for estimating big jobs. It is made very simple to add the basic information and exporting the bid sheets. It has glitches at times. I don't know if its because I use IOS products or it needs to be fixed. I do recommend this to whoever is in need for big projects. I do like the idea that you could change colors when estimating for easy understanding. Pros I like that the software is easy to use. Cons I don't like that it has glitches at times. I did request for some changes. Review Source NP Noel P. Sr Sales Rep Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticomm Saves You Time and Improves Accuracy! " May 7, 2019 4.0 I use it to prepare my larger quotes for the reasons I mentioned. I am happy with the current performance and look forward to continued improvements. Pros It saves me money from not having to print tons of project plans and then storing them. Esticomm saves me time by insuring I get accurate counts and distances the first time! Plus I can work from the office, at the job site or at home, which I prefer not to do, because all my files are on their site. Cons Esticomm does a good job of constantly upgrading the software and making improvements. There are minor improvements I would make to the functionality of the software but they usually end up doing that automatically. Review Source MS Mark S. Principal Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Review" January 13, 2020 4.0 We estimate telecommunications cabling installations. Once products are labored and imported into the program, the estimation process can be quite speedy. Item recognition when producing take-offs using auto-count can be spotty. There is no customization available for adding new overhead type items (ex: PM labor as a separate labor type). Overall, a nice improvement over printing drawings and marking up hard copies for takeoffs. Pros When properly set up, the speed of producing an estimate is greatly improved Cons Materials search functionality - often can't find product Lack of output options in spreadsheet format Review Source PD Paul D. owner Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Esticom Review" May 14, 2019 5.0 Very good Pros Ease of use-the software is very user friendly Cons I would like to be able to add shipping as extra at the bottom similar to sales tax-we order a lot of fixtures that require shipping and customer likes t see it broken out Review Source ES Eber S. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review " January 8, 2020 4.0 Pros I like the customer service based on the times i had called. Cons Not many features compared to other estimating software. Switched from [iSqFt for General Contractors](https://www.capterra.com/p/3498/iSqFt-for-General-Contractors/) ISQFT stopped providing estimating software. Review Source JA Jeff A. Estimator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review for Esticom" January 3, 2020 4.0 The experience has been good so far. Pros Ease of doing takeoffs, ability to change Material catalog Cons Breakdown of overhead that used to be on Esticom. No ability to overlay drawings from another page to compare changes on drawings from existing to new drawings. Reason for choosing Procore Estimating Ease of program and cost. Review Source FV Felipe V. Estimator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom Quality" January 2, 2020 5.0 Pros I like the fact that this software does what I ask it to do and much more. It allows me to customize everything as I need it and it comes with templates so it does some of the work for me already. Cons Maybe I need more training but I'm not sure if the feature for measuring homeruns is precise. Review Source JN Joe N. Vice President Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good. But could grow into better" May 11, 2019 4.0 Responsive tech support. Easy setup Pros Takeoff is fairly easy. Accurate. A time saver. Cons Has some cumbersome aspects. Grouping could be easier. The estimates are fine. But a better interface for cost/profit and The ability to export cost reports and part numbers would be fantastic. Review Source JB John B. Estimator Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GAME CHANGER!" January 13, 2020 5.0 Pros It saves you a tremendous amount of time by building your estimate as you are doing your takeoff. Cons Sometimes there are slight quirks that need to be fixed, but this is mainly because they are adding new features and they always get fixed. Review Source CC Chris C. Service Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Telecom Estimating Software" May 15, 2019 5.0 Esticom has been great, there is some room for improvement and i would love to help collaborate with them. Having been in the telecom industry for over 20 years, and helped other companies create their own software i would be able to offer valuable insight. Pros I like that I can have a material database and organize them in a useful way. Cons I do not like the fact that i cannot manually input man hours towards scopes of work, and that there are not customizable admin fields (travel charges, project management hours fields, shipping ect) where i can capture typical back end admin costs. It only allows percentages. Review Source EM Eugene M. Solutions Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Esticom User Review" January 3, 2020 4.0 Good Pros The ease of use. The ability to sort your projects. The estimating summary tab. Cons At times the clarity of the uploaded drawings to a project is not usable. Review Source AC Andrew C. Application Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review of Esticom" May 13, 2019 5.0 The Esticom cloud-based software has been a great addition to my team! Personally, it has made me more efficient when providing passive DAS proposals for my customers. Pros I have enjoyed how this software is so versatile. Also, this software has been extremely straightforward, scales floor plans, and has all of the icons that are needed for my job. Cons The only complaint that I have had so far, is regarding not being able to duplicate (copy and paste) items to another page. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager/Estimator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fast layouts, must have strong internet connection" May 11, 2019 4.0 I use it daily. I also keep a safety net of my old quote system for pricing while I'm still learning the system. Pros Esticom allows for faster layouts. You can skip most of your blue print printing process for quotes which saves a lot on paper and ink. Nice tracking system Cons Very hard to use over wifi. You must have a strong internet connection. I would like this better IF I were uploading design CAD drawing instead of PDFs Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
