(1-20 of 20)Great Program For Estimating.
- Organization
- Reporting
- Storage
- Multiple Users.
- Updating items from the library has changed.
Ineight gets it done
- Organize quotes
- Accurately cost out bids
- Save time
- We do not use the search engine since it was last modified. It is no longer user friendly.
- We used to like the way we could change the position of line items. The function has been changed to where it is not user friendly anymore.
- The "Save" and "Delete" options are right next to each other. I have been after Ineight to change these for a long time but they have not.
InEight Software Review
- Cost Database
- Audit trail of changes made
- Multiple users can work on same estimate at the same time
- Reporting
- Estimating in CSI format for Buildings related projects
- Having an on screen take-off module to be built in as part of the software
In-Eight, The Final Frontier
- Ease of tracking cost throughout the estimate - The software enables the user to quickly pull up reports and verify, crew hours, equipment hours and the total cost of these items. We can look at our labor and equipment budget on a project in a matter of seconds.
- Pay item and Proposal Screen columns - This enables the user to quickly look at the overall estimate from a cost and margin standpoint. There are a lot of features to choose from in the columns which give the user choices to share in a group setting when reviewing the final bid proposal. some key elements that we like to use are: Total Cost, Margin, Forecast Qty, Subtotal Amount, Subtotal Description, Lock Price, and Rounding Precision.
- PBS Screen - This screen is a great resource for quick snapshots at direct and indirect costs on a project. We also use subcontractor and vendor status frequently.
- Job Properties - This is ultimately one of the best features in the software, it lays the groundwork for each project and gives any user the background for the project.
- It is hard for someone who does not use the software to understand. I have found over the years that if you do not use In-Eight on a daily basis it is very confusing to show a non-user what is going on.
- It takes a long time for someone to be proficient in the software, I have a college graduate from USC who has a high learning capability and he struggles with it.
- Understanding the information on the screens, a lot of people have a hard time digesting the information on most of the pages.
Hands down the best construction cradle to grave platform.
- Tagging segments of work.
- User defined views and descriptions for all screens.
- Customizable ribbons to provide an efficient use of the software.
- Multiple layers/dependents to allow for an extreme drill down of the work and the ability to roll up to a more useful level for upper management review.
- You can bid the work as you would build it, in detail.
- Tie into QTO software such as blue beam or Planswift.
- Better training of users and continuing education.
- Links to plan sheets for CBS lines for reference.
- Ability to have pdf link in assemblies for basis of assembly.
- less cumbersome copy and paste issues in the CBS
- Better tax structure to allow certain line items or resources to be taxed in an estimate. Washington state uses a very complex tax structure that can be daunting to cover taxes on mixed projects for first-time users.
InEight-My Favorite Software for Scheduling, Staffing, and Internal Project Communication
- summarizing project completion and tasks that still need to be done
- projecting staffing needs
- organizing schedule/prioritizing tasks
- forecasting upcoming task "cliffs"
- The import/export buttons are exactly the opposite of what you would expect. not intuitive and the logos for these should be swapped.
- The software is hard to train users upon. New users require 3-6 months of use before getting proficient. I think this is because many of the best features are buried in menus, three clicks deep.
- The claiming exports immediately default partial claim items to the user who claimed previously. You need to update your name every time you update a partial claim line item.
- There are many add-ins that should just be included with InEight Standard, instead of having to install extras to make the software usable.
InEight exceeds our expectations!
- The new format is easy to use and is very comprehensive.
- The library is extensive and intuitive.
- Integration with other products such as SAP is a plus.
- The notification of current status is helpful.
- Customization options could be expanded.

InEight review
- Integrates with [a] variety of tools.

- Easy to understand and not time consuming.
- Support function could help us sort issues early.
- Interface is not easy to understand.
A Simply Awesome Project Management Tool
- Status notification
- Holistic overview
- Customizable reporting
- The interface could be a little modern.
- Installation of the application could be faster.
- Single sign on would be great.
Fantastic PM Application
- Auto planning module.

- Mobile access.
- Time taken to during the installation of the actual application.
- Planning module interface could be a little more user friendly.
- Single sign on (SSO) option could make it better.
A modern technology software for all your construction needs!
- Data to make better decisions
- Virtual designing of layouts
- Estimation on project construction
- Speed should be more fast and agile. When working on multiple files the system freezes.
- More templates should [be] added periodically.
- Customer support should respond within 24 hours.
Affordable and Functional
- Listen to what people want.
- Constantly improving functionality.
- Flexibility and customization of the modules to suit the project.
- The graphical user interface could be improved.
- Looking forward to better linkability between modules.
InEight Review
- Drawing storage.
- Version control.
- Can't think of any at this moment!
InEight Review
- Document management.
- Ability to customize the view portal.
- Email alerts in document modules.
- The overall layout of the software appears old and outdated.
- Difficult to find features and make changes.
InEight TeamBinder Document Control Software
- Customer support for all queries.
- Navigation of the platform.
- Help tutorials with instructional videos.
- Focused training on particular issues rather than a generalized overview.
- List of customizations available to the platform with estimated costs for implementation.
- Revision setup with the review process could be automated further.
InEight Document's Great!
- XL Upload tool is fantastic
- Bulk upload and editing metadata
- Fully customisable
- We would like to be able to workflow documents without them being restrained or maybe have a view that shows restrained and unrestrained as latest/current. We treat our Project Contractor's "As Received" documents as the latest/current whether we've completed our review or not.
- We'd like users not to be able to reply to the transmittal system generated email address as emails go into unregistered mail
- Documents - Comments Register - Request to have Default values available for specific fields
- When we issue reviewed Contractor documents to Teambinder - External Contacts they are required to download the document, download comments (if applicable) and if we've made redline mark ups click on Red Magnifying glass and print document to PDF (and this won't include any comments made with mark up note). They could end up with 3 separate files per document. Also, on the sent transmittal after you select "Download all Transmittal files" button, the "Download All" button only downloads the documents and the "Download Comments" button doesn't include comments made by redline markup. I don't believe this supports the "single source of truth" and could easily lead to confusion. How can I be confident our minor service providers, third parties, government departments etc. will download and use the correct "as returned" version of the document, for example, if it's a drawing we've assigned review code 2 or 3 too they need the drawing and comments to use. TeamBinder document review options consist of:
- Download: (mark up a hardcopy scan and upload it as an attachment), Redlines: mark up (red-line) the document and make text comments and Text comments: Click the Add/Edit link in the Comments column to add electronic comments to the documents. Teambinder transmittal "Download Comments" should include ALL comments no matter which combination of review options was used. We don't use redlines as we cannot ask our external recipients to produce their own PDF's.
- Fast uploading, registering and transmitting project documentation
InEight Documents
- Responsive to client requests
- Has a local office
- Flexible to work with
- No consistent process to create an instance, each time an instance is created some functionality is missing. We have discussed this with InEight and they are working with us to improve the process.
- Lack of knowledge in the large infrastructure project space.
InEight Document
- Initial engagement and pre-sales
- Technical Support
- Customisation/Enhancement of product
- Further development of the Portfolio Instance of TeamBinder - it needs to be fit for purpose
- InEight documents allows our organisation to track the progress of workflows, providing timely notification of any delays or bottlenecks.
- InEight allows us to management scope and cost change with the change management functionality.
- InEight Document provides excellent integration with Outlook which significantly improves user satisfaction.
- The design review functionality is acceptable, but could benefit from the ability to generate review logs by design package. This would allow managers to track the comments and dispositions.
