We like the concurrent licensing vs a per user model. It isnt cheap, but it is at least manageable. ----- ### "Moved to Estimating Link" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *25 de octubre de 2024* | Agricultura | Valoración de la recomendación: 5.0/10 > > **Puntos a favor**: Able to copy over bids for similar projects > > **Puntos en contra**: The service after HCSS was sold out went downhill. I had a lot of trouble using HCSS Dispatcher. > > Loved it for the first 20 years that I used it. Like I said, once they get large, the little guy doesn't matter anymore. ----- ### "Only Longtime Users Can Possibly Like HeavyBid" — 2.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *27 de noviembre de 2020* | Construcción | Valoración de la recomendación: 0.0/10 > > **Puntos a favor**: Customer support is good. It has to be because HeavyBid itself is archaic. > > **Puntos en contra**: 1. Anything in bulk. Example: Cannot even “non-add” multiple activities. Rather, you must click on one at a time and then click the “non-additive” radio button on each and every activity. Such limitations are in all areas of the software. 2. Sorting and organizing is essentially non-existent. This aspect of HeavyBid is one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever encountered on any software of any kind. This is especially frustrating on bids with child and grandchild bid items requiring reorganization. In resource setup registers, there is no way to sort. Material lists can be quite large and HeavyBid offers no way to sort this data. Unbelievable that this is the case in 2020. API integrations are not even on the table because of the old architecture of HeavyBid. It seems that those giving HeavyBid good reviews have not been exposed to other platforms. HeavyBid is an outdated software that needs to be completed rewritten to stay relevant. I have been a user of the following estimating software platforms TPL, B2W, InEight Estimate, HeavyBid. > > HeavyBid is YEARS (perhaps decades) behind other platforms, especially InEight. HCSS needs to rewrite the entire platform in order to be relevant again. ----- ### "The Best Estimating Software in the World\!" — 5.0/5 > **Frank** | *17 de julio de 2014* | Construcción | Valoración de la recomendación: 10.0/10 > > **Puntos a favor**: Product: This is a very fast, user-friendly, automated estimating and bidding system that is particularly effective for Unit-Price contracts. It allows quick creation of accurate estimates, accommodates variations in quantities, allows risk evaluation on an item-by-item basis, and provides the means to price individual bid items so that they reflect the bidder's assessments of quantity, value, and risk for each item. Vendor: HCSS sets the standard for customer support. There is no software company anywhere, of any type, with whom I have had contact that comes even close to the responsiveness and excellence of HCSS' technical support. It is extremely rare that a call is not answered before the third ring by a human who understands the problem (no matter how arcane) and who has the right answer, without sending me to a second- or third-level technician. The professionalism and expertise of the Technical Support team are near-perfect. I tell people whom I am training that if they get stuck on a problem for more than three minutes, they should call Tech Support. The person who answers will have the problem solved, and the estimator will be back in production nearly instantaneously. > > **Puntos en contra**: There is little to dislike in a system that works so well and with a technical support team that is so knowledgeable. HCSS takes suggestions from its users and implements them in new releases of the software so that the system is always cutting-edge and fulfills its users' expectations. The system seems expensive to purchase and maintain, at least to the non-using evaluator, but the confidence in the accuracy of the estimate, the outstanding technical support, and the continuous improvement of the software will provide confidence that offsets cost. One caught and corrected mistake that that would have gone unnoticed without HeavyBid's analysis tools, could pay for a dozen licenses for years. ----- ### "HCSS Review" — 5.0/5 > **Usuario verificado** | *23 de julio de 2019* | Construcción | Valoración de la recomendación: 10.0/10 > > **Puntos a favor**: HCSS is a very powerful and easy to learn estimating program. Many companies use this software which makes integrating with partnering companies very easy. Endless resources and crew construction abilities. Provides drop down or key stroke options to enter data. Gives many different ways to view costs and code costs. > > **Puntos en contra**: Cons are the limitations on "child" items underneath the parent. Only 3 are allowed as compared to other competing softwares. Also the reports are limited in what is shown. > > Overall, HCSS is the best estimating software on the market. Reason why everyone uses it. But it is expensive, and some smaller companies have trouble justifying cost. ----- Página: 1 de 22\ Siguiente: [Página siguiente](https://www.capterra.co.cr/software/34221/heavybid?page=2) ## Enlaces - [Ver en Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.cr/software/34221/heavybid) ## Esta página se encuentra disponible en los siguientes idiomas | Local | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Datos estructurados
