Especialista en Control de Documentaci'#243;n Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Good, but could be better" January 9, 2018 4.0 Fast and very intuitive user experience (if the fields are designed properly by the docuement control team in your enterprise) Pros Fast access. Very easy way to look for the documents. Easy to upload new documents. Secure and safe information. 24 hours a day working. Cons Improve the module of reviewing documents, it must be without Java, because Java is too slow and have many troubles, maybe you can do the same as you did in the multi upload module. The team that supports our projects must be people who really worked on real projects all over the world, maybe you need to include some Document Controllers that used Aconex for a long time, and includes they in your company. Most of the people in the support team actually didn't know how a real project work using Aconex. Review Source Susan J. Sr. Document Control Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and great functionality." January 25, 2018 5.0 Aconex helps us work on a global scale with many clients Pros Provides a global platform that allows many user to work together. Easy to add new files to the system. All mail is kept in the Mail module and it can't be erased, so you can't lose any correspondence. Easy to create workflow templates. Easy to run reports on workflows and RFI's. No size limit on the files. It functions like it was advertised and more. Cons Have to use the mail form titles that Aconex has pre-loaded into the system. Sometimes can get confused when working in the backend of the system where you might need to make a change. Review Source JV Joe V. Contracts Administrator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "JV - Aconex Review" October 10, 2023 3.0 It is the main player in Oceania. Procore is not much better anyways. Pros Record keeping of all historical project communications. Cons Platform is dated. Mobile access is bad. Web platform is not responsive and up to modern standards Review Source Kam L. Project Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Provided easy access to design documentation for review and keeping track of record." January 9, 2018 5.0 Benefits are many as described earlier. Be able to have a process flow of all projects saving time, reducing cost, be able to identify issues and commenting of design documentation. Pros Be able to retrieve documentation easily and support from Aconex is great. It also offered process flow in project delivery which is clear to project teams. The email like within the software is easy to understand for all users and if that person knows how to send an email he or she knows Aconex. Cons Cannot think of any. However, the cost of the software might be a little pricey. One improvement that I would like to see with the software is a better tagging routine that is able to tagged files and become searchable. Currently searches are still very rudimentary. The BIM viewver tab should also could be improved adding more features to it or better still have a full feature BIM viewer and could reconize RVT as well as Bently 3D files without having to convert to IFCs. Review Source Hans H. Principal Program Controls Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Successfully configured and implemented Aconex on several large programs." January 15, 2018 4.0 Pros It is the solid single-point-of-truth for large, complex programs. It integrates information flow (correspondence), documents, packaged deliverables, cost, field inspections and BIM together very well. It span from bid/tender phase all the way through design, construction, test/commissioning and close-out. If implemented properly with industry best practice processes, it can significantly reduce risk on large, complex programs, especially those with multiple contract and technical interfaces. Cons Some of the administration features are somewhat cumbersome on implementations with a large number of users, especially at the organizational administration level. As with any software implementation, training and institutionalization is one of the hardest and most important aspects to be successful. There are a few features (like RFI closeout) that make it a little more difficult to institutionalize such that report data remains in tact. Review Source Arianna T. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Effective Solution for Project Sheduling." September 6, 2022 5.0 The process reports creation is quick and very useful and the tracking of various projects transactions and expense is very effective. Workflow and task management and also safety management using Oracle Aconex is excellent and productive. Pros Oracle Aconex delivers the best project management experience and incredible resource planning and accurate project budgets and estimates. It allows easy sharing of Engineering and Construction documents and other files across multiple project Engineers. Ability to monitor employees activities, effective time and cost management product and easy to start using. Cons This Oracle management product has all easy features and easy to set but the training to those new to Oracle Aconex can take some time. Review Source Mounir Matta - CEng -. Structural Design Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Safe storage and access to project documentation from anywhere" February 27, 2018 5.0 Pros 1- Fast upload and download of documents from anywhere in the world. 2- Peace of mind by ensuring that all project documentation is archived safely. 3- Regular update and development 4- In-house training to users Cons When searching for a subject yields more than one page and I move from one page to another searching for a particular document, I would like to clearly see the current search page highlighted to enable me to go to the next or previous page without losing track. Review Source Mohammed A. Senior Electrical Engineer-RAMPED Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software" June 6, 2018 4.0 Pros easy of finding information for any document or workflow I look for, zip download is easy too to download all files together. Cons \- The relation between documents and workflows is not practical, you should copy the link or text from documents and go to workflows to find information, there should be a way to do that automatically. - If I'm not in the workflow and want to download documents, there is no way except going to the original mail. Review Source Robin L. Director of Planning & Project Implementation Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex allows for consistent project coordination and communication to our contractor" January 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I really like the fact that the searchability and the document transmission tool that Aconex allows for. The fact that all communication through Aconex forms a permanent project record indefinitely Cons Getting people to transition off of standard email to Aconex for our overall project communication tool. Team members are resistant to change and new tools. Review Source subramanian R. Sr.Qa/QC Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great experience, safe and easy to access latest documents. " February 27, 2018 4.0 Pros I am using aconex from 2003 from Dubai to now India great experience. easy to find latest drawings and old documents history. and big document evidence for client or contractor where ever to issued documents. Review Source AT Adnan T. Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Regular Aconex user" August 22, 2024 5.0 good, its user friendly and very intuitive. Pros the ability to see all previous revisions of documents in an organized manner Cons there are some minor bugs when switching between projects and looking into workflows and packages Review Source AC Antonette C. Document Control Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aconex is a great platform and repository of project documentations." February 7, 2018 4.0 Pros \- Easy to search/find documents especially drawings with the most current versions - The fact that you can see messages from/to other team members is useful when you have large teams especially if a team member leaves the project - Documents and mails cannot be deleted for accuracy of project records - Unlimited project users can be added to use the system once the Organization has registered Cons \- Expensive - Not widely used by Subtrades/Owners so there is more training required. Other systems such as Procore are more widely used and don't require as much training - The fact that messages/notifications can't be grouped as conversations in Outlook makes reading all of the messages very tedious and time consuming - Tracking & closing of RFI's is difficult due to how the status is recorded ie, if the Engineer responds asking for some additional information on an RFI so that they can respond, the system automatically indicated that the RFI has been responded to; it is not possible to generate report in order to know Organizations the RFIs been distributed to using other mail types - Tracking and generating report for received and issued drawings and packages is difficult, it is crucial to be able to have accurate transmittal information that can easily be generated on a daily basis for document management / project records without having the need to maintain a manual log especially for Contractors managing upstream and downstream flow of information (documents from which Organization and to which Organizations the documents have been issued to with complete document and transmittal details) Review Source MJT Michael John T.

Senior Structural Engineer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolutely awful performance, glitches and errors" April 15, 2019 1.0 In recent months my experience has been extremely negative. Each day I experience issues regarding speed and errors when trying to do basic tasks like open a correspondence, or upload files. I really would like to use it more because it is a great platform for keeping track of open tasks and correspondence between consultants, but the speed and performance is suffocating. Pros Good for tracking correspondence and open tasks. Cons Terrible performance - seriously hinders productivity during the day. Uploading files, loading correspondences and workflows load at snails pace and always unpredictable. Review Source AG Alex G. Eng. Tech Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5 year user, easy to use, adaptable to project needs.

Pros I like the multitude of options it provides at a faster speed than most document control software available. Cons I least like that there is no out of office function. If someone is on vacation, there is not an automated way to divert any workflows sent to them at that time. If someone leaves the project, there is not an automated way to remove them from existing workflows. I have found work arounds.

If you have multiple pages open and you search say architectural in one and hydraulic in another. When you go back to the previously used one it changes to the former format. It doesn't stay on the one it was opened too. Review Source Similar Products Featured
