### "Powerful software at a reasonable price" — 4.0/5

> **Mark** | *24 February 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use was critical to us making this purchase.  Sharpe Software provides services to import your data into the software of use the software with some sample data already loaded.  We chose using the sample data.  It allowed us to see where things were pulling from and which fields were being used for what purpose.  That was very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: We purchased this software over 20 years ago and we still use it today.  Back then, the tax structure in our State was different than the tax structure in California which Sharpe used as their tax model.  &#10;Sharpe wrote an update to our program to address that issue for us and it really makes applying the appropriate taxes quick and easy.
> 
> We have employed estimators that have used other competitors products, such as HCSS in the past.  Once they use Sharpesoft, they are amazed with how easy it is to use and how powerful the software is.  We have acquired over $500 Million dollars worth of work using Sharpesoft Estimator.
