Recensioni su STACK

STACK is open-source software used for creating online assessments in mathematics, science, etc.

Commenti: he STACK software is highly regarded for its ability to handle various mathematical expressions and provide immediate feedback to students. Its randomized question generation and compatibility with popular learning management systems are also well-received. However, some users have found the software to have a difficult learning curve and challenging setup and customization. Nonetheless, despite these potential drawbacks, the STACK software is widely recognized as a valuable tool for both educators and students in creating and grading math assessments.

Aspetti positivi:

STACK software has several strengths, including its ability to handle various mathematical expressions and offer randomized questions and answers. It also provides immediate feedback to students, which is crucial for them to comprehend their errors and enhance their comprehension of the subject. Furthermore, its open-source nature and compatibility with popular learning management systems make it a practical tool for educators to use when creating assessments.

Aspetti negativi:

the STACK software has been identified as having some potential drawbacks or limitations. These may include a difficult setup process and customization, as well as compatibility issues with certain web browsers and operating systems. However, the STACK team typically responds to user feedback and provides updates and support to address these issues.

STACK: A great product

Aspetti positivi:

STACK frequently rolls out new features and appears to genuinely value user feedback. Within the first week of use, I was able to develop a totally unique library of components and assemblies, and I've been happy with the takeoff procedure

Aspetti negativi:

It does not have as many integration options as some other services.

STACK comments

Commenti: I rate it a 3 for the overall as it is easy to access from the office to the field, the clients have a hard time reading the proposal so we do not use that function. It is very expensive. We have several plans to bid and updated plan occur all the time during the bid process which is not user friendly.

Aspetti positivi:

Online takeoff that the office to the field

Aspetti negativi:

Multi window option when completing takeoff. When updated plans coming out it is not user friendly.

Powerful tool for job costing and estimating

Commenti: Stack has taken our time to create and estimate and cut it in half. We now can produce more accurate estimates, in less time.

Aspetti positivi:

Having everything with the takeoff and estimating process all in one place makes stack stand out from the competition. I can take plans, to an estimate all in one place

Aspetti negativi:

The set up process everything feels a little tedious, but it all functions very well.

A great product that save time and accurately figures out materials and costs per project

Commenti: [sensitive content hidden], our sales manager for our counter sales people loves it and he uses it everyday. Colin, who also does bids and has been intigrating his takeoff with STACK also loves the programs as it has been easy to learn, and is easy to turn off or on features that we want for our customers.

Aspetti positivi:

I tested STACK a few years ago as our sales team spent hours figuring out materials and costs longhand. STACK was incredibly easy to learn and cut our sales teams time spent on large and small projects by so much. We have been able to get back to the contractor quickly with an accurate quote

Aspetti negativi:

Right now, there are more pros than cons. We do sheet metal and gutters, so it would be nice to have that available in STACK also as our jobs often cross over on several products for the same job

Great Cloud Based Software for Estimating & Takeoff

Commenti: 10/10, all of my users love it and all of our PMs say it's the best takeoff tool thus far in their careers. Even the more seasoned ones.

Aspetti positivi:

Fantastic takeoff features, great training and support, one of if not the first cloud-based takeoff platforms. All for a reasonable price.

Aspetti negativi:

There are no real negatives to STACK that me or any of our users can think of.

Very intuitive.

Commenti: My experience with Stack has been nothing but pleasant. The software is easy to use "out of the box". If you run into issues with features, the online help/training will likely address your concern. If the online resources do resolve your issue, the Chat feature and timeliness of response will.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the fact that Stack is very intuitive. With minimal training, this software can be used to quantitative takeoffs

Aspetti negativi:

Overlay - to overlay a drawing, the drawing must have the same layout. The overlaid plan cannot be resized or located. This would be beneficial when laying different drawings, (i.e. existing conditions to new work plans).

My experience with Stack

Aspetti positivi:

I love stack overall. Its super easy to use and we take advantage of the integration that’s in it.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish they had more mark up features. Such as arrows, boxes, circles, and I also wish they had a better cloud markup tool. To make it adjustable of the sizing and not just one size.

daily prolific user

Commenti: great

Aspetti positivi:

copy / paste works great. copy project works great. export to excel or other places is great.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish I could copy 1 page or a group of quantities from one project and paste it into a different project.

A promising tool

Commenti: On the one hand, I appreciate the main features of this platform, such as access to project plans at any time and from any device, as well as the database library of pre-built and custom materials. These features have been helpful in streamlining my appraisal and estimation processes, and have helped maximize the efficiency of my business.

Aspetti positivi:

What I liked the most is its ability to access my project plans at any time and from any device. This allows me to have the information I need at my fingertips, which is vital to streamline my evaluation and estimation processes. Also, the library of pre-built and custom material databases is a standout feature.

Aspetti negativi:

One of the aspects that I liked the least is the lack of clarity in the user interface. Sometimes the navigation can be a bit confusing, making it difficult to find certain features or access certain tools. As someone who values efficiency and usability, this can be frustrating and slow down my work processes.

Stack is a great, easy, very competitive program that has really helped our business!!

Commenti: The Best!

Aspetti positivi:

I love the uploading of plans, it works so well! I love being able to develop our own products in the database and input our own expenses. It was so easy to convert our company information into Stack and input everything we needed to set up every job! We do all exteriors and it has the ability to measure and convert every product and need we have into the job project, plans, and estimates. EASY Training products and wonderful customer service!!

Aspetti negativi:

I can't really complain. They have integrated and added so many other programs and resources that you can find endless help. We Love This Product & Company!!

stack

Commenti: I used Stack in many special projects in my work, and it gave me the best results and the best experience, and this enabled me to complete my workin perfect way

Aspetti positivi:

I use stack in for my work and I found it easily and very flexible and schedule project is the one of many important things

Aspetti negativi:

I found some minor errors, but they are not an obstacle in using Stack and can be easily fixed and make it flexible

Great overall with small drawbacks for General Contractors

Commenti: We are able to perform takeoff and develop material order sheets for self performed scopes of work using Stack. We are also able to verify subcontractor quantities for materials quoted/proposed to verify compliance with contract design documents.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to create customize items and assemblies is essential for various trades. Accurate takeoffs and the ability to verify scales on screen is essential for accurate takeoffs. Stack does both of these well.

Aspetti negativi:

The lack of ability to export overlays of comparisons between different revisions of the same sheet is unfortunate. Takeoffs can be transferred from one sheet to another, but different versions of sheets cannot be excluded from overall takeoff without tedious renaming of each takeoff on sheet versions. i.e. - Bid set versus permit set; the ability to compare bid quantity and cost to final quantity and cost is not possible without creating separate projects for each or deleting the initial takeoff from the bid set. If both remain in project, quantities are cumulative and are included in the final report.

stacked review

Commenti: i like it easy to use

Aspetti positivi:

i like the take off part of stacked. i would like more training on how to use some of the other parts of stacked

Aspetti negativi:

not knowing how to use some parts of stacked

Review of Stack for Steel Estimating

Commenti: Stack saves time in identifying and estimating quantities in a project.Stack also presents data in a clear and customizable format.

Aspetti positivi:

Stack is intuitive and easy to use. The online training and support was very helpful.Takeoff customization is great for estimating purposes.

Aspetti negativi:

Some items can be difficult to create a takeoff for.

Overall good value for money

Aspetti positivi:

The takeoff features are awesome, and I find it to have a plethora of functions that I really enjoy and help us be more efficient. The speed, accessibility, and thus far great capacity at handling large plans is awesome.

Aspetti negativi:

Still waiting on some changes for the cost proposal functions, being able to customize those more would really take this program to the next level, and help us integrate our partners onto the platform. Items such as being able to adjust tax layout, relabel non-measured costs, have items with costs saved under non measured costs, tax rate displayed on the quote for the customer instead of needing to manually enter this every time, and a more user friendly approach to being able to display different currencies would be very appreciated.

STACK makes performing a takeoff, quick, efficient and easy!

Commenti: I truly like STACK, everything is in one place and makes my job so much easier.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about STACK is the reporting feature. Once I perform a takeoff and run the report I can see quantities and weights of the steel on the project. It speeds up the entire estimating process.

Aspetti negativi:

My least like is the cloud based system. I know everything is cloud based now, but when there is an internet outage or I am on location without signal or WIFI I don't have access to the info.

STACK CT Review

Aspetti positivi:

A great part of this program is how easy it is to upload drawings from STACK into SmartUse so that our construction crew can access them in the field. Having multiple viewpoints for the company calendar is also very useful, so that everyone can keep up with what others in the company are doing.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be slow to load when other programs run perfectly fine.

Stack Estimator

Aspetti positivi:

It's very easy to use. I like that everything is in the cloud. I don't have to worry about losing my take offs.

Aspetti negativi:

It's very expensive, especially since I only use the take off feature.

Review by a daily user

Aspetti positivi:

Ease at which you can generate worksheets with quantities from the takeoff and the ability to create proposals from the worksheet quantities.

Aspetti negativi:

overlaying a revised plan over one that already has a takeoff never quite matches up and seeing differences is difficult

Great Measuring tool

Commenti: Stack has done a great job in helping me create takeoffs for estimating.

Aspetti positivi:

Stack is very easy to use when doing takeoffs and also very accurate.

Aspetti negativi:

The mobile site could be easier to use and a little more robust in its abilities.

GC/Developer Small Company using Stack

Commenti: Love it besides the price tag

Aspetti positivi:

I love how easy and simple it is to do take offs. Very user friendly

Aspetti negativi:

The software prices keep going up. I’m a small firm and it’s hard to pay for these things. Makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

It works great for our business!

Commenti: Short and Sweet. No complaints. If I can do it, anyone can

Aspetti positivi:

I'm an old scale and printed out drawing guy. Stack took me a little longer to use mostly getting it set up for my biz. Once that is done its very easy even for a caveman.

Aspetti negativi:

I don't use all the tools available to me. I'm sure there is shortcuts even to what I do now. Finding time to learn the new stuff is difficult

Review - Diverse Building

Aspetti positivi:

Good features and ease of use, widely used by a number of team members, cloud based platform is a must.

Aspetti negativi:

The symbols could be a bit better and a bigger range

Stack Review

Commenti: Stack seems to be the most cost effective solution to quickly completing complex takeoffs.

Aspetti positivi:

The software is incredibly easy to use. After one tutorial from the stack support team(which is also a huge plus), I felt very comfortable navigating the platform. Assemblies are a fantastic feature.

Aspetti negativi:

I could use a tutorial(maybe it already exists) for interchangeability from stack to estimating software like Sage, or Project Management software like procore. This will likely be a next step for the company.
