July 10, 2018 4.0 Pros Used in my organization for the continuous administration of projects, allows you to be aware of all the details of the Project thanks to its variety of tool, has a very good technical support. It allows you to get details of expenses, cost, quotes and has a very solid and reliable system. recommended Cons It is important to maintain good speed on your computer since the software tends to be a bit slow when you use it. Expensive depending on what you need in your organization. It is important to be clear about waiting for this software before acquiring it, since it tends to be expensive. Review Source Jennifer V. Sr. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tough to use but gets the job done" September 30, 2019 4.0 CMiC is certainly not the easiest software to pick up and start using. There are a lot of little nuances, and quite a few features that have more issues than uses. That being said, it handles the finances of a project VERY well. Pros The main thing I like most about this software is its wide breadth of abilities, and how it handles the finances of the projects. Cons Tough to learn and use; lots of nuances; not 100% reliable. Most recently I found that in the potential cost section that when I mark the overall COR as approved or cancelled, etc, that it doesn't waterfall down through all of the costs. No end-game failure of mechanics, but things like this that make it hard to trust this software. Review Source MN Mike N. Chief Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There are MUCH better options out there.............. did someone say PROCORE ? " October 23, 2020 1.0 This software was in operation when i joined the company and the internal IT department messed with it on a weekly basis to try to modify a round peg into a square hole. It was a daily nightmare. Maybe if it was unmolested and used for what it was intended it may be useful but that was not my experience. I am no longer with that organization and thankfully no longer using Cmi C Pros Unfortunately I have nothing positive to say about this software based on four (4) years of using it on a daily basis. Cons Way too complicated for simple procedures Same info has to be manually entered on every line on the same project Way too many drop downs to enter a simple value Not remotely use friendly No cell were auto populated - everything had to be entered multiple times Excessive waste of time entering the same basic info multiple times Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is a great product!" January 10, 2018 4.0 Being able to do RFIs, Submittals, PCI logs, Owner Change orders, Subcontractor change orders etc. It's all in one place! Pros It helps keep everything in one place. You can do meeting minutes, RFIs, submittals, and take care of billing. Cons Sometimes it takes a while for things to update after you click on them. Maybe has to do with internet speed as well but wouldn't entirely blame internet speed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Manager Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's user friendly once I got used to it." August 29, 2018 5.0 Pros The AR portion is much easier to use than our previous software. I really like the reports that can be generated once CMIC was able to customize them for PBI. Cons It requires lots of patience. If you can get past the trial and error portion to customize the system for your needs it's a pretty good investment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Payroll Specialist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CMiC Integration to Paycom" August 9, 2022 2.0 Pros We are converting from CMiC to Paycom 4th QTR for Payroll and HR functions. I am looking for anyone who has done this integration. We have so many questions and can NOT get any help resolving the some issues with Paycom. Cons We are staying with CMiC for all our construction needs, just moving payroll and HR to Paycom. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Regional Solutions Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only good ERP is your last one, and your next one - CMiC does an OK job" October 2, 2018 3.0 Pros It handles many of the financial and documentation needs of our company, and has the potential to cover others. Cons The interface is very out-dated and hard to use (particular on mobile browsers), it requires constant maintenance, patching, and testing. It's expensive to integrate with things Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Project Manager; Estimator; LEED AP, OSHA 30 Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sometimes I feel that there are too many navigational panes options. " May 15, 2018 3.0 Pros What I like most is the detail in the job cost reports as well as the drill down detail options. Cost affordable. Cons Having used both Procore and CMIC , CMIC seam to take longer to understand how to navigate through. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Project Accountant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Construction accounting and management software that includes all aspects of the business" March 18, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that this very simple looking software with an old school interface has virtually every feature you need to get the job done. Cons It often has these glitches where you input all of your necessary data and recalculate expecting to see the finished product but it doesn't save your information and you have to do it all over again. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Installation Supervisor (Contract manager) Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Over view of product " December 21, 2018 4.0 After initial breathing issue's it has become apparent that you can get a good saving for the office and get over all the time issue's that might have previasley arrisen. Pros The software is ok to get in to. It's only just started too get integrated properly onto my day to day life. Cons Slightly hard to navigate around and some times tiresome to use. Review Source HB Heather B. Application Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Work Keep it up!" August 25, 2017 5.0 Pros For the most part, CMIC meets our needs. It has come a long way in the 11 years I have been using it and I like the direction it's going in. When ADF gets all the little nuances worked out it, it will be a great replacement for the old Forms screens. I think the JSP screens need to get a face lift next which mobile is helping with that. All in all, I've used a few other construction ERP systems and CMIC, while quirky at times, is my favorite. Cons Take the time to understand why the system is doing what it's doing. Once you understand the "why", then it makes determining your process easier. Sometimes, minor tweaks to processes can make the world of difference in how something is done and makes the process as a whole work better within the system. Review Source SZ Serena Z. IT Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Great Construction Enterprise Solution" March 15, 2017 5.0 We have been using CMiC since 2005 and our overall experience has been very positive. Over the years, the solution continues to evolve and is part of our competitive advantage. When implementing for the first time, it is important to redefine workflows to be consistent with the system so that the full benefits can be achieved. Pros 1\. A centralized enterprise solution that includes Finance, HR, CRM and workflow as well project management. 2. The collaboration functionality enables us to engage all project participants anywhere, anytime. 3. Integration with other applications such as Plangrid and Docusign. Cons 1\. New releases sometimes result in loss of existing functionality that we have been relying on. 2. Training for new releases is not provided free of charge creating a disincentive to upgrade. Review Source KE Kaitlyn E. Sr. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kind of a Utilitarian Dinosaur" March 7, 2019 4.0 Overall, my CMiC experience has been fine, but I am definitely open to use newer, more innovative software competitors. Pros CMiC has a lot of great features and lets you bring multiple tools and functions into one software platform, so it is nice to be able to access these tools in one location. Cons With all of the new softwares coming out, I feel like CMiC is not evolving to match other innovative softwares. It can feel clunky and seems more utilitarian than innovative and user friendly. Review Source JG Jean-Christophe G. Project Coordinator/System Admin Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A globally great product" February 21, 2017 4.0 CMiC is a really powerful tool. The product itself is really good. The data flows between all different modules without any problem. It is great to be able to run the pay for a week than being able to track our cost in real-time. CMiC also provides us a way to implement different standards in the company. Instead of having multiple ways of doing things, we now have "THE" way. Overall, CMiC is a great product built towards GC. CMiC does everything, or almost. It will give any construction company a clear advantage over competitor if enough time and resources are spent to make it fits the need of the company Pros Having the data in real-time for PM. ADF is a powerful technology allowing us to customize the software. Being able to import/export from Excel is great. It should be available in almost all screens. Log Builder. It does everything: payroll, AP, AR, PM, .... Review Source JD Jenn D. IT Business Analyst Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Good Software" November 17, 2017 5.0 Take your time to really test and vet through your software before rolling it out to the masses. Pros I have been using CMiC for 16 years and it has definitely evolved for the better over that time. I am looking forward to moving to the ADF platform by next year. I usually get quick responses from CMiC when I have a problem with the system. The connect user conference is also a big plus. Cons 1\. The Submittal process in CMiC Collab is not easy to use 2. It is not intuitive for a new user 3. There is a lot of functionality that users still don't about Review Source BP Bhavin P. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bhavin's Review" November 17, 2017 5.0 Go through the tutorials and play around with it. It takes some time to get used to, and I can understand the frustration when something doesn't work the way you want it to. Pros CMiC's software is very user-friendly, and navigating through the software becomes easier the more you go through it. There are some redundant components with regards to submittal logs, but the tutorials CMiC offers help ease the difficult portions of the software. I like how user-friendly it is, especially for beginners that have never used the software before. It is also very adaptable and the organization throughout the software makes it easy to navigate through the different sections. Cons There is some redundancy throughout the different sections. The amount of information within each section can be a little overwhelming. Saving after each step can be a little irritating. Review Source CM Connor M. Operations Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CMiC's Development" November 21, 2017 5.0 Take time implementing the software, do not do it all at once as this was challenging. Pros We have been implementing and using CMiC now for 2 years. While challenging to implement at first, CMiC has grown into becoming an excellent communication device between field and office employees. With the added enhancement of the financials, CMiC benefits both field and office employees when tracking costs of each project. CMiC has been worth the time and money that was invested to implement the software. Cons 1\. The cost and time to edit and change certain report formats. 2. Slow support time when tickets are submitted and at times it is difficult to speak with somebody. Review Source DF Dawn F. Business Systems Analyst Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CMiC" November 17, 2017 5.0 Make sure you have dedicated team members from all aspects of your business that can see the project all the way through the implementation. Pros CMiC is a great ERP solution for the construction industry. The cost management portion is great and easy for the user to comprehend. CMiC also does a great job supporting their customers and have top-notch account reps. Cons 1\. Hidden costs - i.e. adapters 2. Error messages are not always intuitive, which wastes our time troubleshooting as well as the CMiC support teams. Review Source CD Craig D. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beck's CMiC Experience" August 25, 2017 5.0 Pros Beck has used CMiC Enterprise and PM for many years. We love the integrated database, strong financial and job costing and the ability to customize when needed. Cons Either go all in and really get behind leveraging the power of the system and making improvements needed, or don't use it. If you are only partially committed and keep using other systems at the same time, you will continue to be frustrated. Review Source AC Adam C. Application Developer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CMiC Review" September 6, 2017 5.0 Overall CMiC is a solid product! Pros I mainly use the CMiC database for accessing data, occasionally entering equipment into the Equipment module, and entering my time sheet. For the most part, CMiC seems to work well but it would be nice if there was a consistent interface amongst all the different modules. Cons Too many interfaces (Forms, ADF, JSP, etc.) to access data. Review Source KD Kristen D. Assistant Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not Time-Friendly" February 5, 2019 3.0 Pros I don't like much about this program, but if I have to choose something, I would say that I like the ease of changing the order on lists such as chronological, by company, by spec., etc. Cons It takes a LOT of time to load large pages. If you're looking for a specific item in a large list, it's going to take a while to scroll & load each page if you don't know any keywords to use. Review Source dK douglas K. Cost Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Outdated interface" December 5, 2018 3.0 It got the job done, but navigating through the system and printing reports felt very inefficient. I would dread the days I needed to print and provide my weekly reports because of how many man hours it would take to get all the necessary information sorted and produced for our update meetings. Pros CMiC is definitely capable of being your one stop shop for your construction management needs. It can link all aspects of a project into a single program which is convenient and the various reports can be set up to talk to each other and share input and information Cons Like most mass data collection and sorting software, the user interface could use some work. Searching for things and printing reports was often cumbersome and sometimes not very intuitive. One issue is the lack of customization for reports. I found it easier to export the raw data into excel and create my own report and sort functions to provide the type of analysis my managers were looking for. Review Source AB Alexis B. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Android of Software" October 28, 2019 3.0 I wish there was a CMiC template to then customize from and allow simplified user interfacing. Pros Highly customizable interface to meet your needs. Cons Difficult to navigate. The customization of the software takes up majority of your time, rather than utilizing the software to produce results. Review Source AG Ashley G. Operations Assisant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Learning xProjects" February 13, 2017 4.0 Once you learn how the systems works and remember the steps that are necessary for the task you are doing, then everything starts to make sense. At first, I wasn't wanting to let go of the old software that our company was using but now that I've learned and keeping learning how to use xProjects I'm liking it more and more. Pros It's cloud based! That is a huge pro for me, I'm always on the run and going between job sites and it's very nice to be able to log in anywhere I have the internet. Cons The software will error or null when trying to do things...I understand software is going to do that but it gets very confusing when you can't figure out why or what field was missed. Review Source MM Maritza M. Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cmic review " March 15, 2017 4.0 Double check your data output. Pros Once you learn it, it is easy to navigate. Cons Custom reporting options are limited. Review Source Similar Products Featured
