Bad, buggy software. October 26, 2009

We bought the software after a WOC demo. It looked promising. After installing it and going through some live training we started using it. After using it I was surprised at how difficult it was to move around in the take-off window. I was disappointed at the lack of layers, even though they claimed the supported layers. I found that the software would not run on both my desk top and laptop as they claimed in the demo. I was disappointed that every time I opened excel, even for just a regular spreadsheet, it now took 10 time longer than before I installed the software and many times a nag window popped up saying I needed to upgrade. When I would click the up grade button the upgrade would fail. Worst of all for me was I pretty quickly found that is does not open all PDF's as claimed. I called tech support and was told if I spent $200 more then it would do what I wanted. I installed the new software and still it does not work as promised. Called again and was told for $150 more it would work. So I tried it and still it does not work. So I called again and they went through the try this, uninstall that, try this other thing. After about 15 hours of debugging their software I called it quits. I asked for a refund because there software did not work as advertised and was told too bad.
This is not a good company, they do not stand behind their product. They just try to get you to pay extra and then they don't fix their bad software.
