Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Albi is a very user friendly system that helps move our files along without skipping a beat. Their customer service is extremely responsive and they listen to our concerns.
  • The software is light, fast, and intuitive (both on the desktop and mobile devices). I run my restoration business on it with plenty of room for growth. It integrates with Quickbooks for billing and Encircle for contents management. I've used other software packages but haven't ever had the speed and usefulness of Albi.
  • Legitimately everything. Fast. Reliable. Albi has every feature from technician use, to office staff and management capabilities. It is 100% customizable. The reports are beautiful and able to be exported to Excel or Google Sheets. The support staff is world-class.
  • It has what this industry technicians need, even if they didn't think about that feature it is there, or if not you can talk with them and get it customized for your needs, and that's something that I liked about their team, they will listen to you and your needs and make it happen. Thank you Albi team !!!
  • Very easy to implement. All in one solution. We run a $10MM+ operation off of Albi and it has everything we need.

Cons

  • We haven't really run into any issues that their support team wasn't able to address.
  • Nothing. It does what I need it to do. It would be fun if it integrated with Xactimate...but very little integrates with Xactimate anymore except Xactimate.
  • My one complaint is the scheduler. I am looking for more of a Service Titan feel. The great thing is I am able to talk to Alex and suggest changes or new features. This one is in the works.
  • Not able to understand why didn't wanted to work on my android as good as it worked on my iPhone....I believe it's about the phone? 😉 but it worked ! And it's working fine, don't believe me go ahead and try it...
  • Pricing is a little higher that other software, however it's worth it with how many systems are all in one.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The Plangrid application has been very useful for project management and the activities that will be performed for its completion. It offers tools and allows us to create in detail each task to be performed for such projects. In addition to this, so that the information arrives completely, to each activity we can add a reference photograph or an explanatory video so that the instruction is understood correctly to all collaborators.
  • It is an application that is excellent for issuing short and clear comments and suggestions on a given project site, in addition to which images, audio and video can be used to detail the given observation. In addition, its platform is very simple and provides accessibility to projects quickly.
  • Within Plangrid we generally plan the whole process that will be carried out to build a building. For this we usually use the photo viewer system that is included internally, to review and verify the project plans, and all the observations and notes that are made on top of them, as they can be superimposed with information.
  • Since PlanGrid allows you to work with a completely unlimited number of sheets, it is convenient to be able to overlay sheets with plans and documents over and over again without any problems, allowing you to create new sample content on the work of other employees. The dozer plan only costs $60 per month, and offers 5,000 sheets to work with.

Cons

  • We have had difficulties when comparing activities and results with the option of overlapping plans since the application becomes slow or stops sometimes. Similarly, it does not have an offline storage option so employees must remain with a working internet connection or the information stored in the cloud will never be synchronized.
  • If you have poor internet signal, updating and synchronization of the projects displayed in Plangrid on several devices at once can present problems, the platform becomes slow and functions such as overlaying plans when you need to compare activities or results are difficult.
  • The level of synchronization obtained through Plangrid is relatively poor when verifying different plans that are in more than one terminal. When hyperlinks are created within the plans they often do not lead to any web page even if they have already been programmed with a specific destination to which they should lead.
  • The crane plan, as opposed to the dozer plan, is twice as expensive, and despite offering an unlimited number of sheets there are not many improvements in terms of photo and document management. In terms of budget options, Plangrid also doesn't have much to offer by leaving out basic features such as tracking.
