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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customer service is the best we have ever experienced, immediate response time and a willingness to assist our subcontractors when needed. Building bidders lists and communicating with subcontractors is user friendly, straight forward and fully custom. Sharing documents with outside team members comes in a variety of options, all easy and clear. Pantera continues to grow, building tools that benefit, in particular, the historical data that can be used when building future projects/bidders lists.
  • It's possible to send out ITB's very quickly with minimal set-up. There is a great deal of flexibility in how to create and manage the ITB process. There are several tools to manage the the private contact database. The Pantera team is always quick to assist, and there are many ways the service is customized for our needs. Custom reports are available.
  • Ease of use and support.

Cons

  • Maintaining a clean database can be problematic at times. Multiple entries for the same company often register/show as separate records, making it hard for team members to identify who to reach out to. Would also be helpful if we could limit users security permissions to a higher level between "user" and "administrator".
  • Access to public HUB/minority vendor databases could be better/stronger. Regarding the mobile app, there are some functions that can not be accomplished with the app.
  • Not sure.
