Reporting accuracy has increased noticeably, and time to generate reports has dropped drastically which in turn gave our users the time to do what is more important in their jobs. ----- ### "What I like about Classic and G2" — 4.0/5 > **Diane** | *02 October 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to setup. The clients I support want different things, so the setup has to be flexible > > **Cons**: not always easy to get support on a question ----- ### "80's/90's Graphics" — 3.0/5 > **Sam** | *18 May 2017* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Use of Excel to update via imports and exports Wide variety of canned reports and processes (includes change control, trends) > > **Cons**: Canned 80's/90's style reports that cannot be modified. Can't copy an existing report to modify and make another report. Executive Summary reports do not format correctly. S-Curve /Histogram has errors on progress (group that has not started yet shows progress. Technical Support not consistent. Dashboard is not included. > > Not happy yet, primarily to cludgy reports. ----- ### "Great cost control software with instant budget and schedule integration" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *29 September 2017* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The things I like most about G2 is that it is ready to go out of the box. G2 provides enough structure for you to start using it immediately, but also offers the ability to customize to many different business needs. G2 can be used at a project or program level to manage projects from a few million to several billion dollars. Some other benefits are that you can quickly setup the software to integrate with SAP, load actuals, and see your EAC quickly in both tabular and graphical form. You can select your physical progress method to obtain both calculated and independent EAC's. Integrating the software with Primavera is also very easy by creating a cross-reference utilizing G2's built in utilities. The same can be done to map your estimate to control accounts so that you have a common element at the level which the project is managed. There are a good amount of standard reports are available and the system also has a report writer available. When starting a new project, I immediately go to G2. I like the fact that reporting periods are locked down once closed out and forecasts can be obtained easily. The system also allows you to process accruals in a couple of different ways and allows the tracking of both actuals and incurred. Great software that I will continue to use for many years\! > > **Cons**: There are a good amount of standard reports available, but if using the report writer, some time is required to learn. > > There are many benefits to using the software. I like the enterprise reporting capability where multiple cost engineers can be managing projects in the system and that data can be combined at the program level. As a cost engineer, financial analyst, or project manager, there are few tools that can match G2 out of the box. There are definitely some competitors who offer products that can be tailored more to a specific business, but the amount of time and money that is required for the customization is very expensive. G2 is great for anyone who is converting from spreadsheets to a more structured platform. ----- ### "A good option to manage project cost data and reporting" — 4.0/5 > **Oscar** | *12 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: PRISM offers a good set of functionalities to manage cost, progress and change in almost any type of project. Standard reports are easy to read and data can be summarized and grouped for cleaner presentation. Data analysis for forecast is simpler than using any spreadsheet. Customer Service is very good. > > **Cons**: We still face some software glitches in certain views and when running calculations/reports. User Manuals should be better developed for more complex functionalities, eg. Staffing Plans, Indirect Costs, etc. Despite our Customer Experience is very satisfactory, there are few improvements and fixes that have been around for a while with no effective response from the development team. > > ARES PRISM is a great tool for any project controls team who wants to elevate the way Cost and Performance Reports are presented to the client. It is a good tool to really manage large amount of data to focus on key aspect of Project Controls: performance, change management, forecast. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/119702/contruent?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/119702/contruent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
