Overall Satisfaction with PlanGrid
Plangrid is being used on a project-by-project basis. We use it as our primary document control protocol, for rolling completion lists, punchlists, owner update reports, QC and sub coordination.
- Plan sheet organization, renderings speed and image quality in the field are all great.
- UI is simple, attractive and easy for users of most experience levels.
- Slipsheeting, updating or changing drawings is easy and effective.
- Photo quality in printed reports is low. If markups or dimensions are made on an image within the system it's oftentimes difficult to see once printed.
- Clouding and markups sometimes obstruct you from seeing the actual drawing. Clouds for instance, grow and shrink when zooming. This makes sense, but sometimes on sheets with a large number of markups, when you zoom out it's just a mess of illegible bulky clouds/bubbles.
- I always consider Plangrid a good investment. I'm sure there are other products out there, but nothing that's free so I don't mind paying for PlanGrid at all. I feel its easily justifiable to a client in terms of cost vs. value.
I feel that Plangrid does a good job at combining most of the best attributes of the above programs into one solid software. Finishline seems to be a bit stronger punchlist tool but it doesnt have any other features, can't be used a doc control, etc.
