    Pros

    Very intuitive and easy to use with nice features

    Cons

    The Excel Add-In doesn't currently have all of the SQL tables available so it is sometimes hard to get to some of the data without doing Excel dumps directly from out of the application

    Buyer Beware

    Reviewed on 21/2/2018

    Pros

    The amount of positive reviews online make it look like a quality "next generation" product for the changing construction industry.

    Cons

    Customer Service is very slow to respond to requests. Monthly, if not weekly server issues that cause our staff an inability to do their job for hours at a time. Closed Financial reports will change on Jonas side without knowledge to their team for why. When confronted with these issues the Jonas team is not responsive or understanding.

    Pretty good so far. It took a while to get everyone in the company on board with new processes but that's to be expected. I think as time goes on, it's getting easier and everyone is seeing/realizing the benefits

    Pros

    So far, the individual approvals for invoices, subcontracts, COs are all really great and have already streamlined a lot of clunky process we had in the past. It's hard to evaluate job costing and budget management since we don't have a ton of historical data in there for jobs yet.

    Cons

    It's very difficult to get it to integrate with our current estimating software. We're in the process of changing over, so I know it's only temporary

    Budgeting has been our biggest weakness. This is getting us back on track and exposing areas where we need to do a better job.

    Pros

    The budgeting and subcontract is something we need greatly. This tool is helping us get our budgets in line and mange our subcontracts better.

    Cons

    Did not like having to setup the journals. You had to set up General Journal, Sales and purchase. These are pretty standard so not sure why these need to be set up
