From any place or at any time I can access and follow up the project progress, Very easy to know the history of the project related to any complex issues, Accessability to any dedicated topics or official documents.

Customization need to be more effective for different types of project, after sale services need more enhancements.

Easy access, not complicated . I could find all my questions' answer through Help option. Friendly assistance are available to support if something unusual happens.

Sometimes i so slow and recently site crashes a lot. I am on more than 5 projects but each one has different Aconex system so sometimes I get confused.

- Easy to search/find documents especially drawings with the most current versions

- Caro

The software benefited me in simplifying my work and making sure that all the data is secured and available and easy to use.

The most interesting or I like most in this software is the Search engine. Whatever you are finding in the software is very easy to get by only using a specific word related to the item to be searched.

What I least like in Aconex is when you loose internet connection where you become stranded waiting or hold on what your are doing until the connection gets back. But this is common with all internet dependent software's.

This is a Web Based application that can be accessed via any internet connect as well as mobile access. Reports can be set up for individual use or organization use for all users. They are trying to update features in workflows to be closer to Bluebeam. My direct Support contact is very responsive and always willing to help.

There are several cons, you do not have the ability to do bulk changes to date field and clear the date completely. Workflows does not allow multiple comments per sheets, it bulks them all together as one comment. The comments need to be tracked/closed individually and when its all bulked together that is not possible. There are certain fields that are listed Print Size why can't this be turned off? Mail does not currently have workflows. Mail is hard to run reports, you need to do it from Inbox and sent to get all necessary information. Workflow Comments is only available to vie in workflow, this should be visible in the document registry. Markup tool is not user friendly.

Aconex was a great tool to keep a clear record of documentation and correspondence between many stakeholders for the duration of my project. It was easily and successfully customized to suit my project's needs.

I like that the customization makes it very easy to meet a given project's needs. I also like the very clear correspondence and documentation the Aconex offers during the project execution.

I'm not certain if this is a weakness of Aconex or at my company, but getting clear and easily searchable records from Aconex beyond the project timeline (after completion) seems very difficult.

Speed up the workflow and gives no rooms for duplications of works/ documents for the entire project. User-friendly platform and controlled environment of this software gives everyone involved a distinctive edge. Searching of any documents as well as the reporting features helped me a lot in my career.

Keyboard short cuts; if the keyboard short cuts are enabled in this software, it will be benefited by document controllers a lot. Required additional search query options to search documents.

It helps to reduce times and make works easier.

The workflow submission is very practical and suitable for project engineering. It reduce paper usage and helps to monitor the progress. The uploads and downloads file is unlimited which is very good for drawing submission in CAD format. It is also summarized the submission status because every submission is reviewed by many trades. Good job Aconex.

During workflow submission process, there is a bug which appear unidentified codes. It required to refresh page but it will return to the beginning and we have to start all over again. Aconex should fix these issues.

Aconex is a good online collaboration tool that aids in the overall maintenance of the day to day running of a project.

The implementation of using metadata to tag documents, makes searching easy. Searching within the document contents is quite helpful. The new online viewer has made online document reviews a lot easier to process and keep track of. The Mail module is an overlooked plus that assists in keeping all of the project communications in one place. The online training videos have improved a lot and are essential in getting projects up and running.

The price is high compared to some of the other collaboration solutions and this keeps of from using Aconex more than we do now. Some of the administrative restrictions prevent the organization administrators from being as effective as they need to be (i.e. can't remove users from a project, can't change labels of metadata, can't create and add our own document statuses or document types, dashboard reporting is restrictive and really should offer more). The workflow reporting is limited and doesn't allow much customization. Sometimes our designated Aconex system consultants just quit or disappear and the communication surrounding it all is sometimes non existent.

I like that you can search for documents, see history and the transmittal process is very easy. The multiple document upload (bulk process) is a time-saving feature.

The con I have found is that you can't undo an upload if you find that you have uploaded the incorrect document without have to transmit and then redo which is confusing to users on the other side, wondering why there were multiple uploads.

Ease of tracking documents in workflow and ease of transmitting documents to and from outside contractors.

I like the ability to configure the metadata. I also like the search and retrieve tools. Having the workflow/review document feature built in is also a time saver.

The review documents tool set needs to include a tool to export comments and save as a file. Currently, this procedure must be done outside of Aconex. Also, the workflow process should allow the administrator to add additional people to the workflow after it starts. This should not be a separate workflow within an active workflow that is tied to an active workflow participant (although when a user needs that feature it is useful but not typical). The software also needs a better approach to storing the native file and corresponding pdf file together. Using history is not an effective method (and confusing to typical users) and giving either the native file or pdf file the same document number with a suffix (or some other means of numbering) can also be confusing. Both files should have the exact same document number.

I really like the fact that the searchability and the document transmission tool that Aconex allows for. The fact that all communication through Aconex forms a permanent project record indefinitely

Getting people to transition off of standard email to Aconex for our overall project communication tool. Team members are resistant to change and new tools.

Online database which tracks projects and correspondence in real time.

Reliable source of documentation. Easy to track, find and share documents. It's great to have a database that everyone can obtain easily and effectively.

Could do with a couple extra features to simplify use. Selecting bulk drawings by individually ticking is a real pain and hassle especially when transmitting large amounts of drawings. Also after bulk superseding, there should be a transmit all feature.

What I like most about this software is how easy it is to use. I also like the quality standards it offers with recording every change that is made within the system. The dashboard has all the relevant information needed to make your daily tasks easy to manage. I also enjoy having the ability to process documentation en masse with the bulk upload function. The drag and drop feature for uploading multiple files is also appealing. Utilizing this software for our document control functions and repository has been the best experience in all my document management software experience.

I would like for org admins to have the capability to add their own projects into the software module. While I understand that to have the ease of use features on this software, it may be required for Aconex to create the projects in the module, it would be nice if org admins had that ability. But it has not been a real hindrance, since the projects were created fairly quickly once the request was made.

A lot of simple organizations and as such is easy to use. For example: a basic screen in the form of a table with all the necessary data.

There is no table listing all design reviews. For instance: the rows would be entered in the codes - the names of all the designs and the column numbers of the revisions. The dates of the revisions would be entered in the fields of their cross-section. Nevertheless, whether the table will be updated automatically (based on the code and the data of the document itself) or the document controller on the project will do so. This would easily and quickly find the required revision of a document that has huge number on large projects.

It has allowed us to keep greedy contractors under control with proof of communications and directions - it has allowed us to minimise fake claims against our project

It provides a safe and efficient way of keeping all our records and communications safe - yet recorded for later use if needed. It has allowed us to 'keep the greedy contractors' under control commercially.

in recent times there has been several outages or slow running - frustrating when you need the system every day

I use it daily to upload documents that are transmitted to the Client and Vendor. It will also be used for auditing purposes, reporting and permanent document storage.

That most Clients and Vendors/Customers are beginning to see the value of this software and will use it making it an easy way to transmit and receive documents.

I am not sure there is anything I don't like about this software. I guess if the system is down is what I may like least but it is usually back up and running in a short amount of time.

Poupa tempo

Flexibility and convenient to use. I am using Aconex for over 8 years I found it is very flexible and convenient . when ever I faced issues I get immediate help and guidance from Customer Support

Initially I faced issues . I don't remember what kind of issues. I remember calling the customer support they mentioned there is limitation for that particular request I asked for.

Used Aconex on a project where the project team were located in multiple time zones and countries - made it easy to share information without worrying about the size of the files.

1) Internet based, Project material can be access by multiple teams simultaneously from anywhere in the world

1) The search feature is very particular - could be improved

Better time management, reports, quicker approvals, better access to drawings and better drawing control management.

Reports, that give a detailed picture where documents are in the approval process.

The uploading of drawings and the registering of them.

Fácil de usar

This SW make my project activities easy when communicating, monitoring and organizing materials, documents and workflows. The other good thing about this SW, is that, you can access or login into the apps anywhere and anytime.

I can only say one bad thing about the SW, is the directory. I know, this depend on the administrator. But the contact details must be the person's unique contact number. You cannot rely in the lists if the default goes to aconex call centre, which cannot assist finding the person.

Benefits are many as described earlier. Be able to have a process flow of all projects saving time, reducing cost, be able to identify issues and commenting of design documentation.

Be able to retrieve documentation easily and support from Aconex is great. It also offered process flow in project delivery which is clear to project teams. The email like within the software is easy to understand for all users and if that person knows how to send an email he or she knows Aconex.

Cannot think of any. However, the cost of the software might be a little pricey. One improvement that I would like to see with the software is a better tagging routine that is able to tagged files and become searchable. Currently searches are still very rudimentary. The BIM viewver tab should also could be improved adding more features to it or better still have a full feature BIM viewer and could reconize RVT as well as Bently 3D files without having to convert to IFCs.

Unlimited file size, the information/documents is always received and never lost. Easy to search for documents and able to track changes. Support Central is always available and provide excellent assistance. It is cloud based software which is accessible from any location.

Modules do not interact. Limitations to download multiple files at once. Mail Forms - characters are limited. Bulk Uploads - can't copy file names to Excel without the use of SharePoint.

I greatly appreciate Aconex's flexibility to adapt to policies and procedures you may already have. It does not force you into one way of doing things but at the same time doesn't require significant up-front configuration to get started. I also like that Aconex is always improving and adding significant and useful new features often.

The only real con I have is one that can be managed but would be nice to have tighter controls on. Aconex does not offer the ability to restrict the permisison to change the document status (approved, approved as noted, rejected, dfrat, etc.) when superceding with a new version. By default it uses the previous version status for the new version status and if you forget to select a new status you could end up with the draft of the next revision of the document showing as approved in the document register. If you use workflows to approve your documents you can always go back and verify if a document was actually approved by the proper people but to do that requires a few extra mouse clicks.

Collation and capture of specific information is far easier than ordinary email systems.

Ability to track and locate correspondence is probably the most useful aspect of Aconex, storage of documents is reasonably straightforward.

Reports cannot be tailored to suit my requirements as they cannot be specific enough. One problem is the RFI trails, once someone has responded there is a danger then as this becomes no longer overdue or outstanding. This is most critical if the response is an automated one. There needs to be a method to reverse it.

Quick and easy to use, everyday work is getting lighter

Quick and easy to respond through workflows and to all other submittals, uploading smoothly, searching fast. All I can say is, it was very helpful to everybody who were using Aconex .

It is getting slow and hanging only some of the time.

Ease of access. Mobile app

Simple ability to cut and paste from any external document into a message is not supported. This is a critical feature that could be improved.

Excelente

The consistent way that each project is set up, makes for a good user experience generally.

Some PMs don’t use the tools properly. It is becoming impossible to work out what your actual tasks really are. RFIs get sent to everyone on the project team. Queries are more like statements, it takes longer to work out what the question really is, than it does to work out the answer. People should think about who they are sending queries “to” and who is just cc’d. Using the please respond by options should mean there is an extra onus on the initiator to close it out, or chase it up.

This software has improved with time and is now more user friendly. Reporting feature has been added that helps a lot. Bulk superseding is a very good feature.

Still missing the following feature:

Fast and very intuitive user experience (if the fields are designed properly by the docuement control team in your enterprise)

Fast access. Very easy way to look for the documents. Easy to upload new documents. Secure and safe information. 24 hours a day working.

Improve the module of reviewing documents, it must be without Java, because Java is too slow and have many troubles, maybe you can do the same as you did in the multi upload module. The team that supports our projects must be people who really worked on real projects all over the world, maybe you need to include some Document Controllers that used Aconex for a long time, and includes they in your company. Most of the people in the support team actually didn't know how a real project work using Aconex.

Oracle aconex is used at waterfront development project where I am involved at. This system helps tremendously to improve the quality and progress of the site.

Oracle Aconex is the most advanced document controlling system I have ever used. It saves almost all the documents within the project such as material submittals, method statements, shop drawings etc. Server never gets slowed although how much data is stored. Downloading and uploading is very easy. Workflows can be created and assigned to users for reviewing. Helps to track the document review stages.

Service maintenance should be arranged within a time period of where usage is minimum. When it happens during a busy hour of the day, basically entire project stops for few hours.

Ease of use; online accessibility, capturing version history and tons of megadata, variety of document types

I like the interface. It's clean and easy to maneuver. The sheer amount of options available are staggering, in a good way. Revision history, super search, etc.

Many, many bugs. Can't attach document when a mail is opened in a new tab. Can't go back in certain places. Certain words used are unfamiliar outside of the system's software . Can't find documents containing words in Search (must be the beginning of the document's name)

As i am working in a field of Document management . This software will help me a lot in my future job profile.

As i am frequent user on Aconex. helping me much easiest way to handle the document how i required.

There is still more clarification or home work required on report taking.

Reduce document controller, reducing email communication with large files as well. Centralization for all document control management.

Aconex is used by all entities involved for our project. This make document control management efficient and productive. The best thing about Aconex is the document register : unlimited size of files, easy access to previous version of a file, link to all transmittal used to exchange the file and, the search is powerful. Easy and fast to update files for all document register that have already received a file.

Having to ask for a report of our distribution list, we should have this accessibility. The Insights should be editable by the project Management to represent what we should see.

Aconex is one of the useful tool in document control. If used with full efficiency, we can trace the history of not just the document but the project itself. It already has the workflow and its own transmittal

We can access anywhere. We can show traceability on the history of each document. We can conveniently create transmittal to transmi the document. The workflow is functional and worl well in the project.

Like the other software it is also has its downtime, sometimes it is slow, sometime some functionality is not working especially when doing the bulk upload.

Since my organization is using this software, I have been also a user of this more than two years. As an Engineer, everyday I get Aconex notifications to my outlook which is very helpful for me to get an idea of them before opening the Aconex. Since there are thousands of documents and emails, it is difficult for me to memorize everything. Therefore open and read in Aconex is easier than memorizing them. I normally use Aconex to send documents to other organizations since it is a secure medium.

Oracle Aconex is a sophisticated Software platform to communicate and store documents securely for any scale of a project. Large number of users can be added and use it at the same time is one of the major advantages. Inbuilt Aconex email function which can also be linked in to outlook is an added advantage. One other thing I like most is that the user can preview and verify a document before downloading it. Documents in Aconex can be exported into an Excel sheet saves the time. Workflow function in Aconex allows to check the hierarchy of reviewing the documents. It also allows the user to sort the documents according to date, organization and etc. Those are some of the appreciative features I experienced in this software.

Expensive License is the major drawback I see in this software. One other thing I noticed is, user has to write the name of the document using exact letters as per the documents’ name, otherwise, it shows “no results found”. Like google it doesn’t suggest the words while typing.

Users in different locations can work together with this document management system and systematically exchange and upload documents.

It enables you to classify documents very effectively and make them easier to find at any time. It enables specific users to open certain functions and provide everyone with access to the documents they need for their jobs. At the same time, when the necessary requests are created, the persons concerned must fulfill the duty that they should follow the relevant document.

Users in different locations may have problems synchronizing due to the Internet problem. If the required permissions are not set correctly, users can access documents that are not authorized or related to them. This could create both mayhem and security vulnerabilityThis could create both mayhem and security vulnerabilityThis can create both chaos and security.

With aconex, its really easy to handle this large scale project. Without aconext it wouldve taken ages to submit approve and construct everything

The project I'm working in is Cinnomon Life. Which us a 1.2Billion USD Multi Purpose Real Estate Project in Sri Lanka. In this project there are hundreds of Sub-Contractor companies working under the main contractor.

Since its web based. Speed depends in the quality of the internet connection. Takes a bit of time to download larger files

Since Aconex is a cloud-based solution, it is easy for our project team members even those who are remotely located to create, review and upload documentation and other project information from any location on to the software seamlessly. Documentation such as drawings, RFIs, rich 3D models, rendering and reports can be accessed via a real time dashboard and this definitely helps us reduce the time and effort needed for document filing and tracking.

Oracle Aconex is the Crème de la crème of construction management softwares and allows its users to share documentation via the online portal for sizeable projects in a seamless manner. It is suitable for transmitting drawings, and capable of documentation management, process and workflow automation and helps the user control several aspects of project correspondence for complex projects. We have been able to manage and maintain a workflow within the software and love the tracking feature that accommodates each transmittal submitted.

It needs training first to be able to use all features and functionalities. There is limited email capability but hopefully this will be addressed in future upgrades. It is best suitable for large construction and engineering projects so not really sure if small scale projects would be managed well through Aconex.

Oracle Aconex adequately fills our need for project management and communication between various disciplines from project start to close-out.

+ Well organized layout of information.

- Uploading files with the correct document properties manually can be a chore.

Great experiance as long as there is high control of entry and strong communication of project specific registry conventions

Very detailed document registration, allows for high control and easy use

If documents registered in accurately or if project specific conventions not followed or communicated then this software becomes less effective

i learnt how to do my work without using sny papers and can get all the required information any time and preparing reports to the managment any tome it great program

easy to use and help alot in regestribg the data and have it any time also you can get and have reports any time and also decrease the use of paper

the most thing idont like is if you upload any data yoy canot change or modify again only you can upload anoher file

easy of finding information for any document or workflow I look for, zip download is easy too to download all files together.

- The relation between documents and workflows is not practical, you should copy the link or text from documents and go to workflows to find information, there should be a way to do that automatically.

Easy to use and easy access to documents from anywhere

Easy to use, lots of support materials online as well as helpdesk, it is web based. Generates auto numbering using selected metadata, bulk uploads, review processes using workflows etc..

We can disable and lock an user account but cannot remove users from projects, have to contact the helpdesk to do so.

Sonny has been excellent to work with while setting up our project; friendly, accessible, and efficient. Aconex is a wonderful platform that enhances the quality of a project greatly!

There are certain aspects of customization that are a little clunky or not able to be fully customized to suit our project's needs, but minor issues.

The best practices in the documentary field for my daily job.

Document management is a key aspect for the efficiency and productivity of organizations and ACONEX has been fundamental for the magnitude of the project in which I currently work.

It is difficult for me to trace - match the documents to each other for topics.

Aconex Helpdesk is Wonderful! 24-7 for all our needs. Our company has numerous projects all over the world, and it does not matter which project I am at, if I need help, Aconex Helpdesk is just a click or phone call away. They are fast and proficient in answering any and all my questions.

To be honest, I would like the Document Register screen to mimic the upload screen where the label fields are in sync with each other.

Aconex offers a great system for finding older correspondance (inbox and sent), and the Document Register is great. In my industry / role, it is important that we can go back months in time and provide correspondance to how/why works were completedd in certain ways an has been a life saver in some circumstances.

I think the best thing about Aconex is the document registry. All drawings in one place and you can see previous versions of the same drawing and how it has progressed. Also being able to see emails on a specific subject and tracking RFIs is a very good option.

The automatic numbering system of documents is not very useful. I wonder if this option can be changed from within the system. In my company we have a very specific way of naming files so it's not very useful to have automatic naming.

The workflow submission.

It helps to reduce paper usage. Go Green.

Each time log in it will ask to select project location. It will not remember my selection even though the tick box of 'Remember My Selection' is ticked. Please improve.

Saving a lot of paper works and old method of tracking any Engineering ,design documents, save much space, specially for Mega project like Riyadh metro project, tracking the previous Eng. Design , site , letters, much much documents , you canot track without this great and rich software., really I appreciate this software and strongly recommend, specially for Big /Mega projects like I did.

Actually Aconex Software is Easy to use , downloading speed is fast, search ability tool is rich,

Its Great software, but Some times goes out and other rear times get hanging, and goes out without saving .

It has most, if not all, functionalities that all relevant project teams require for day-to-day communication and running of project.

Sometimes the search engine for documents is not very smart. For eg., by entering key words/characters or asterisk (wild card), it still doesn't throw up specific results. This occasionally applies to mail searches also.

1- Fast upload and download of documents from anywhere in the world.

When searching for a subject yields more than one page and I move from one page to another searching for a particular document, I would like to clearly see the current search page highlighted to enable me to go to the next or previous page without losing track.

nenhuma coisa.

I like the Dokumen Register cause i can submit file as much as i want and when i search a file i can find it easly use a simple keyword.

I couldnt delete a mail when i make a mistake. Aconex need to update the software so that we could edit the wrong mail.

Aconex is so intuitive that most people do not need formal training prior to using the application. Support Central is very helpful for those who need to use it extensively. From a Document Control perspective, the best feature is the ability to upload and send hundreds of files in a matter of minutes.

The main improvement I would like to see is that both a native file and pdf can be kept in the one record as opposed to requiring 2 separate records.

Complete construction project document and messaging management

Very thorough, one-stop-shop for email, document management and defects management. Web interface ensures no need for installation on computers.

The interface can be hard to navigate for some people. Standardising and formatting for messages is difficult. The need to refresh the document search after superseding has led to old drawings being reissued from our company and other consultants.

I like this software because it illustrates well interact between Aconex and Outlook with attached link for easy accessibility. I always receive notification via outlook for posted document or announcement on Aconex.

Switching back from main dashboard and "my mail inbox" sometimes are not friendly, especially with searching a document. The software should integrate more tabs/folder to categorize different types of documentation so the user can go directly to particular folder to access the file instead of searching.

* Always get the latest version of drawings

* Issues with teaching consultants and sub-contractors on how to upload documents into the document register- ie. education

- Allows everyone to be working from the same revision of documents

- Uptake by project team can be difficult to push - Accountability as a result of communications/mails and documents never being deleted leads to a reluctance from some contractors and design team members to use the software even when mandated

Records and tracks all emails and documentation. When employees leave no lost productivity trying to find emails or documents as they are all stored on Aconex.

Records ALL emails and documents - full visibility of all project correspondence and documentation. When people leave a project you have not lost any email correspondence or documentation.

we can mentioned our record better and also numbering system if we have missed any document in file so we can download from the web.

Export to excel, Aconex is very Friendly software, I have 1 suggestion on this software. To improve the design.

We can open 4, 5 taps at the same time that's a good feature. bulk uploading of drawings processing is great feature.

I like the most of this software, is the easiness accessibility. Easy to use. Exact details and Good Electronic Documentation Management System.

I have 1 suggestion on this software. To improve the design. Innovative design. The more innovative the design the more it capture the attention of the clients or the users.

- Use from start to finish on the project

Users have the ability to create a project from the tender phase through the the completion of the project. There is the ability to create tenders, coordinate correspondence, share and store documentation, and defect management.

Difficult in getting subcontractors to sign up for a user account. There are also issues for project administrators having the ability to remove temporary / users no longer involved in the project. The mobile app is difficult to use.

Being organised

Documentation and correspondence control.

Sometimes unstable to use and crashes.

Quick and easy uploading, tracking and communicating documents and correspondence with team members.

Ultimately the job it performs. It is a great way to track correspondence and documents. Mostly it is a good user interface with straight forward logical steps.

Some things are not so straight forward or clear, particularly with document superseding and some more "helpful tips" at each step would be good.

Aconex helps us work on a global scale with many clients

Provides a global platform that allows many user to work together. Easy to add new files to the system. All mail is kept in the Mail module and it can't be erased, so you can't lose any correspondence. Easy to create workflow templates. Easy to run reports on workflows and RFI's. No size limit on the files. It functions like it was advertised and more.

Have to use the mail form titles that Aconex has pre-loaded into the system. Sometimes can get confused when working in the backend of the system where you might need to make a change.

It is the solid single-point-of-truth for large, complex programs. It integrates information flow (correspondence), documents, packaged deliverables, cost, field inspections and BIM together very well. It span from bid/tender phase all the way through design, construction, test/commissioning and close-out. If implemented properly with industry best practice processes, it can significantly reduce risk on large, complex programs, especially those with multiple contract and technical interfaces.

Some of the administration features are somewhat cumbersome on implementations with a large number of users, especially at the organizational administration level. As with any software implementation, training and institutionalization is one of the hardest and most important aspects to be successful. There are a few features (like RFI closeout) that make it a little more difficult to institutionalize such that report data remains in tact.

this software has allowed us to achieve better project outcomes by minimising the amount of admin required to track and file project correspondence and coordination.

The ability to coordinate complex projects across multiple discipline is aided by the use of aconex. The accountability of each of the consultant team is critical in ensuring successful project delivery.

The most painful process that Aconex has is its document register and performing bulk supersedes through from pre-tender issues to tender documentation.

With automated workflows, I am no longer manually routing documents for review, leaving more time for other tasks.

I like the multitude of options it provides at a faster speed than most document control software available.

I least like that there is no out of office function. If someone is on vacation, there is not an automated way to divert any workflows sent to them at that time. If someone leaves the project, there is not an automated way to remove them from existing workflows. I have found work arounds.

better management of documents

User friendliness Customer support

The fact that if you make a mistake you can not completely hide it. You can superseded it ( which is not helpful because it is still in the system)

This software is very powerful for collaboration and workflow.

Aconex is easily to get up and running and is also relatively easy to use. The custom mail form functionality combined with the ability to set automatic distribution lists for different mail types has been a very powerful tool for corresponding on contractual items.

Aconex is a large company with all users utilizing the same interface. Because of this Aconex is very easy to implement. The down side is that proprietary nomenclature or specific document "Types" may or may not be allowed. In our case, we wanted a general document type for "Meetings" where we use a cascade to further delineate whether the document is a Agenda, Presentation, Handout, Notes etc.. Aconex has a type set up for "Meeting Notes" which we felt was too specific and did not address agendas and other meeting material. Aconex escalated the request to have a Type = Meetings or Meeting Material and our request was denied.

I use to manage my documents very well and our client is happy with its performance.

Easy to understand and straight forward. Save search helps users to identify easily their documents. Confidentiality of records makes the management feel happy that they can keep the conversation on a level of management.

Accounts per project location need to be consider. and the Global ID interface must be develop.

Other than the general benefit of good document management, we save a lot of staff time.

In general, Aconex saves the project team a significant amount of time in locating documents and facilitating processes (design reviews, submittal reviews, RFI's, etc).

Although I haven't compared many other project management software packages, the cost seems high. Even though the cost seems high we have probably realized enough savings to justify the purchase.

Easy to track correspondence. Once understood easy to navigate around.

Cant select multiple documents at the same time. Have to individually select each one.

If you're an EPC company it'd be hard to go wrong with Aconex. We ended up selecting another platform, but it was a fierce competition. In the end, we opted for one with more market-ready integrations with other tools that we currently have in place (to avoid more siloes) and that also had a UI/UX that was more intuitive for creating processes and finding files/records (viz. a modular-tool setup). There were other considerations, but bottom line, Aconex is a solid platform that really offers a wealth of value for standardizing and automating key processes. They'll definitely be around for a while.

- Clean UI/UX experience

- Takes some mental training to know which Register to go look in, whether that's the Document or Mail Register. In my experience, this was because currently, our company stores RFIs as documents/files, whereas Aconex treats them as a Mail Type; so looking for an RFI requires searching in the Mail Register (since it's a type of correspondence) not the Document Register (note: Aconex can also handle RFI process as a document, I believe buy sending it around via Workflows, in which case it *would* be a file located in the Document Register)
