ProEst is a Pro Software
Reviewed on 19/11/2021
Pros
The most impactful features in ProEst are the formula variables and algorithmic equations you can used to rate your own assemblies. This allows the user to essentially create their own take off software within ProEst. Customization is amazing!
Cons
ProEst is cloud based. This means you can not use the program while offline; this may not be a problem to most people, however if you do not have internet or would like to work without an internet - you cant.

Overall experience - I would rate the product 8 of of 10 for user capabilities. The scheduling program lacks tremendously; the estimating and couple other modules are completely unused, otherwise very capable program for managing vendors and clients. One of the better systems I have used (JE Edwards, Sage, Premivera, ect)
Pros
Vendor management, budgets, change events, change management, cost integration, document management, submittal processes, RFI processes
Cons
1, excessive separate modules rather than single page options as was 2017 version
2, lacks home page full client contact, lists only project info not people or their contact info
3, excessive message 404 errors and too much downtime on system
4, terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it

In comparison to the strife and anxiety that came along with using an excel spreadsheet it a very useable tool. I feel like the funding boost they've likely received to continue to develop the product should yield some great results if only to accommodate the Autodesk suite of product.
Pros
Their customer service has always been great, the training was very personally handled. The consistency of the estimates is a positive especially if you're doing work in a certain sector. Duplicating or modifying an estimate as is required numerous time these days takes minutes although the database is geared towards a specialty contractor who requires a large catalog of parts and pieces.
Cons
The report writer. As my review says they need to throw it away and start over. They need to build better standard proposal reporting in my opinion. Having to completely recreate the wheel for various proposal is laborious. There needs to be a proposal creator, check the boxes "do you want a logo box, Yes, Where? Top or Bottom. Client info, yes, etc. etc... and hide all the stuff that doesn't absolutely need to be on the page.

Good if not better than other estimating software. Much competition- But very reliable
Reviewed on 09/04/2018
Pros
Customer service gets big marks. Once I figured out how to easily put in bids and add-ons I figured out the rest. Separating onsites and offsites is very easy
Cons
A bit much to figure out. Wish it were simpler. How to add field extras and designating the responsible department was not originally clear.

Difficult software to use and generated ZERO takeoffs for our office. We wasted nearly $6000!

If they offered a Free Trial, there is zero chance I would have purchased the software. Mid way through my ownership they rolled out the cloud based application of the software and it was garbage, lost of glitches, very slow response, etc. If they dont offer a free trial, there is no money back guarantee (not even 24 hours), etc., you should probably ask why this is their policy. Anybody can get a customer, only the best can keep them.
Pros
There was honestly nothing I liked. It was a very bad experience, not to mention lightened the company bank account by almost $6,000.
Cons
Building an assembly from scratch is so difficult that they now have someone in house that does this for their customers because its so difficult, think about that. Setting the software up on my desktops was very time consuming and took their IT guys a few attempts. Its not as simply as downloading an executable, running it, entering the serial key and off to the races. The time investment was in the hours to set up PER machine. During demo is wasnt mentioned that building assemblies required programming of formulas to build the assembly.
