Newforma Review

PROS: It helps us keep project-related stuff like emails, existing tasks, documents, etc. organized. Apart from that, the system lets you keep and track old conversations and documents and easily access them when needed. It's an incredible functionality that eliminates the hassles of searching for documents or important information after the person responsible for it resigns or leave the team.

CONS: In order to benefit from the program, you always need to file things

PROS: The simplicity of its feature makes it easy to use in tracking progress.

CONS: Nothing seems wrong with this tool, easy for members or consultants to use.

PROS: Makes tracking easy on all the information that I need on the project. Searching is made easier in Newforma as well.

CONS: The members need to make sure that the emails are saved on Newforma otherwise we cannot access it.

PROS: All project related information and files are stored in a single location so finding whatever information we need has been easy and fast.

CONS: You need to go through continuous training in order to learn how things should be done and maximize the value of the product. Also, the platform is not that easy to use.

PROS: Sending files is very easy with Newforma no matter how large the files are. All the files I sent are also stored so I always have a copy handy.

CONS: Filing email is a bit of a hassle since it doesn’t sync well especially in outlook.

PROS: Newforma is a tool that offers everything needed to manage a project from start to finish. It has document control feature, live collaboration functionality, project workflow controls, submittals, RFI, project reports, proposal requests and many more. It got everything we need to realize a project and make it a success.

CONS: I think there is no con of using the product. It is amazing, offers us a plethora of tools, and even coordinate all aspect of a project into a secure cloud-based backup.

PROS: I like how restrictions can be added to every document since administrators can decide who can view or change the documents. Its simple feature makes it easy to manage.

CONS: The upload requires more time especially when the file is large.

PROS: We can track all information related to the project such as a deadline for items and even determine the person who downloaded the files that have been sent. Overall, the tool is very helpful in organizing project data.

CONS: There are times when the system does not notify or at least alert us when the Request for Information didn't go through.

PROS: We are just starting to use the software and so far our team is still having a hard time getting used to it. Some information that has to do something with the platform are incorrect.

CONS: We don't have to track people down in order to find the information needed to solve a problem anymore. All information is stored in one location and is easy to access, making it easier to keep everyone in the team updated and informed of all vital project-related details.

PROS: Newforma complements our conventional way of management filing. We need not worry that we wasted time should we decide to go back to our traditional way since Newforma just improved it without totally changing it.

CONS: We find it hard to link some projects due to some errors because their files are in multiple locations.

PROS: I think the best perk of using the product is the ease of managing project-related files and administering external and internal communication throughout the duration of the project.

CONS: We often encounter random pop-ups of bugs and errors.

PROS: Sharing files has become easier than ever, thanks to the platform's Info Exchange solution, a project website that lets users transfer and receives files without the restrictions of FTP or emails. It even lets you know when somebody has downloaded the documents you send!

CONS: Personally, I find the platform's interface too blocky. Also, its toolbar is not as intuitive as I expected.

PROS: Newforma brings a lot of benefits but what I like most is the ability to transfer files with so much ease.

CONS: I had a hard time figuring out how to use the system at the beginning but eventually got a hang of it. It just takes a little practice and time.

PROS: The platform is very organized, which I really like.

CONS: I cannot create email categories and separate email folders.
