SKYSITE vs Vista by Viewpoint

Is SKYSITE the "sky's the limit" for construction management software, or does it fall short? User reviews from the past year reveal a mixed bag. While many appreciate SKYSITE's user-friendly interface and robust document management capabilities, some have expressed concerns about the desktop and mobile app functionality. SKYSITE shines in its ability to streamline document control and enhance collaboration. Users highlight the platform's intuitive design, which makes it easy to upload, organize, and share project documents, such as blueprints and contracts. The real-time collaboration features, including markup tools and version control, ensure everyone is on the same page, minimizing miscommunication and costly errors. One user praised SKYSITE's hyperlink feature within sheets, stating, "It definitely is a great complement to hardcopy plans. The hyperlink aspect within the sheets are amazing." However, the reported issues with the desktop synchronization app, which sometimes fails to keep plans updated, and the mobile app's limited functionality, cast a shadow on an otherwise positive user experience. One frustrated user even lamented, "This has to be the absolute worst plan sharing software I have ever had the displeasure to use." Overall, SKYSITE is best suited for construction teams who prioritize efficient document management and real-time collaboration. Its strengths lie in its user-friendly interface and comprehensive document control features, making it a valuable asset for managing project information and keeping everyone in the loop. However, teams heavily reliant on mobile or offline access might find the app's current limitations a significant drawback.

Vista By Viewpoint is a robust software solution that provides comprehensive tools that can do anything from finance to project management to HR. Users can track and automate almost any detail of construction costs and reporting. It offers integration with various modules such as Viewpoint One, HR Management Tools, Jobpac and more for efficient workflows. It has almost infinite possibilities for customization so that it can be tailored to the needs of the company. Reviewers said that due to the robust features available, it can take time to master the program. New releases seem to be rushed at times and may be buggy, creating problems with fields that have been customized. Some users said that when switching to the cloud, response times appear to be somewhat delayed, and the system can freeze when clicking on applications. Customer support is slow to respond, and users wished complex issues could be resolved more quickly.
