Recensioni su Sigma

Using Sigma Pro

Commenti: Love that Sigma lets me work multiple quotes at one time and because it's so powerful and well designed, I can get quotes done in half the time it would take otherwise.

Aspetti positivi:

Powerful and adaptable. LOVE the fact that you can attach quote documents, images, etc to the scope lines. I like to use the child fields to insert the various quotes from subcontractors. Then I can just turn them on or off as needed to work my quote. Customer support is AWESOME! I can call them any time and 85% of the time they'll answer right away. If he doesn't answer I know he'll be calling me back shortly. He'll work me through most issues while we are on the phone! If he can't do that, he'll find a fix for the issue and get it right back to me. Like I said, AWESOME!!

Aspetti negativi:

Steep learning Curve... Lol! But.... See above regarding customer support!

The Scalable and Exclusive Tool

Commenti: Sigma is the choice that gives us a robust data protection and processing power.

Aspetti positivi:

Sigma has a powerful data protection technologies for business efficiency.

Aspetti negativi:

Sigma lacks a detailed AI guide in matters data protection

Quick successful and productive

Commenti: To the extent Sigma is utilized with hand crafted libraries and physically organized BOQ the product is incredible, when you need to go further and set up an adequate BIM work process - there it starts to get confounded.

Aspetti positivi:

Interopairability with Autodesk Revit for direct BOQ and probability to develop project tree.

Aspetti negativi:

Intricacy in information trade and planning settings between 3D models as local as IFC.

Most versatile estimating software out there

Commenti: Hands down, best money ever spent on estimating software. The potential of Sigma is huge, and integrating it with other digital takeoff software like Planswift creates a match made in heaven.

Aspetti positivi:

Extremely flexible to your needs. Unlike other estimating software, Sigma allows you to build your own system through a very familiar excel interface. The modular structure of Sigma also allows you to quickly and seamlessly modify/add/delete anything in your quotations and even reference part or all of it for future estimates.

Aspetti negativi:

The report system is not very user-friendly, still a lot of improvements can be done in this area in terms of customization of reports.

Great estimating software

Commenti: I use this daily and cannot estimate my projects without it.

Aspetti positivi:

I love the scripting and the ability to "nest" assemblies within the system. This ability is so powerful and blows the doors off of anything else out there. The ability to import price lists and update libraries is critical to keeping your estimates up to date.

Aspetti negativi:

Documentation is being improved. More details on the scripting is always helpful. The online help is good but examples and templates using all of the commands is helpful for someone who is not a programmer or wants to see what each command does.

Sigma is flexible

Commenti: Generally speaking, I approach more than our past announcing framework, which is a positive. Nonetheless, as self fill in I wish interfacing tables and approving were more clear as a client.

Aspetti positivi:

I love the safe cloud facilitating, the simplicity of associating with information sources, the way that it questions the information straightforwardly, however, most I like the network-based perspective on information that is consistently within reach. Having the option to see, sort, channel, and make computations on the information in a natural accounting page-like interface is virtuoso. The "Section Details" highlight permits me to rapidly comprehend the scope of qualities in the framework.

Aspetti negativi:

I've created a few component demands for regions we'd prefer to see in more detail.

Simple easy to use software.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about Sigma is that I was able to pick up on it very quickly. I had no problem turning the software into my own, and making templates so my estimating went smoothly.

Aspetti negativi:

Its hard to say what I like least because I have not run into any problems where it has changed my thoughts about the software.

Assistant

Commenti: Alright

Aspetti positivi:

Design service agents representative ect.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes it can be a while for somebody to contact.

Sigma software review

Commenti: My overall experience with sigma is highly positive.

Aspetti positivi:

It provides top quality services to customers in many sectors. Provide premier value IT services

Aspetti negativi:

There is nothing bad or leadt liked about sigma.

Excellent, low cost software that integrates Revit models with Means data for accurate estimates.

Commenti: Easy to use software for accurate estimates from Revit models. Integrates easily with RS Means data.

Aspetti positivi:

Extremely easy to use and save tremendous time using Revit model data for estimates. We are able to easily export our Revit models to link with data from RS Means and create very accurate estimates. Workflow is very intuitive. Software cost is very reasonable.

Aspetti negativi:

There really are no negatives. We have been using Sigma for years and have had excellent results. It is extremely user friendly and when we run into issues, the company has been extremely supportive in giving assistance. Great product and great company.

Fast effective and efficient

Aspetti positivi:

Is really good tool for budgeting, the program has these good and simple function, but at the same time you can get complicated functions and make the budgeting really detailed

Aspetti negativi:

A little cofusing at times but once you get used it its a great tool to help run your business. Could be streamlined a bit better

Poor User Interface, Complicated Features, Poor Userbility

Commenti: Decent program if you have the time for set up.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked the cost catalog with CSI code coding format. Planswift integration is a plus.

Aspetti negativi:

The reporting and export features are not user friendly.

Natural move from Excel and very easy to learn.

Commenti: Accurate and complete estimates i could rely on.

Aspetti positivi:

It's simplicity and quick implementation. Easy to transition from Excel to Sigma. Love the outline format and ability to copy from other estimates. Runs very stable and very easy to install.

Aspetti negativi:

Does not have a perimetric takeoff solution. The report writer is very complicated. Wish they offered other databases than RSMeans. No real integration to a 2D takeoff tool.

Using the basic package for commercial projects and happy with the product.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the ability to assemble my own library of services and costs. We perform a wide variety of commercial service work which requires a firm grasp of costs and history.

Aspetti negativi:

Would like to be able to access from various devices. Web based application or mobile app to access and edit completed files.

Very complete databank with easy to use functionality.

Aspetti positivi:

Sigma Estimates has a very competitive database with accurate estimates. The software is also easily integrated with other software such as Revit and Navisworks, to use for BIM and project management.

Aspetti negativi:

Sigma Estimates is not as developed in stand-alone modelling, as compared to other competitors like RS Means.

A really good tool for budgeting

Commenti: Is really good tool for budgeting, the program has these good and simple function, but at the same time you can get complicated functions and make the budgeting really detaild.

Aspetti positivi:

The program is really good for complicated and detailed budgeting

Aspetti negativi:

can be somtimes a bit complicated,

Sigma & BIM

Commenti: As far as Sigma is used with custom made libraries and manually structured BOQ the software is great, once you want to go further and establish a sufficient BIM workflow - there it begins to get complicated.

Aspetti positivi:

Interopairability with Autodesk Revit for direct BOQ and possibility to build up project tree.

Aspetti negativi:

Complexity in data exchange and mapping settings between 3D models as native as IFC.

A little complex and rigid

Aspetti positivi:

Direct linking of RSMeans data is a huge benefit. Ability to customize output is pretty good, but having ability to link specific fields to others is desired, as well as ability to create templates of how data is sorted.

Aspetti negativi:

Software contained some bugs when tested. It is overly complex for our firm's needs and there is a steep learning curve to figuring out how it works.

Sigma

Aspetti positivi:

This software has great functionality and features. Easy to learn and very useful for estimating. Best support team.

Aspetti negativi:

Not sure there is a thing I don't like about this software when it comes to estimating/budgeting.
