    Additional Details—Procore charges an upfront annual fee by product and based upon Annual Construction Volume (ACV) - the aggregate dollar value of the construction work across the customer's projects. Procore contracts include access for unlimited users, customer support, unlimited data storage, and product enhancements, at no additional cost. Multi-year pools: Contract volume is set for the entire multi-year term and can be consumed at any time during that period to help smooth out variability in consumption. Volume opt-in: Up-front contractual pricing is put in place for additional volume that might need to be added mid-term, to increase predictability of costs. Renewal rate protection: Up-front setting of rates is locked now, so businesses can budget accordingly for future renewals and improve cost predictability in future years.

    Considered Both Products
    CMiC
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC Construction Platform is more powerful than Vista with more features...works well with GCPay. Procore did not have accounting which was a huge drawback and we had to ERP data back and forth which can be a pain especially when there were issues. The downside of being on …

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Unlike Procore, CMiC allows easy customizations of the database.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Procore does Project Management better, however, we selected CMiC because of the single unified database for Project Management and Accounting.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    I used Procore at a previous employer. I actually prefer its ease of use but my current employer uses CMIC.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    I previously used Procore Technologies and loved it. Was extremely easy to use, had an online course that you could watch for each specific job title and would run through everything you needed to know, and if you needed to know other job title information you could take that …
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC incorporates more features and reduces the need to use additional software platforms. We found that Foundation Software is not as user-friendly and can be limited in the various types of reports that are available. PlanGrid and Procore both would have had to be partnered …
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Worse than all 3. PlanGrid: Smoother use than CMiC. The way it is formatted and shows the plans in order is the best. CMiC shows plans in the order they were uploaded instead of plan order (A100, A101, etc.). Procore: Same reason as PlanGrid. It just feels as though CMiC's plan …

    Procore is better for document management than CMiC. We use a combination of Procore and CMiC currently.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Procore actually has a better and prettier project management platform, but at the end of the day it was nearly the same cost for our team as CMiC, and we still would have had to purchase another construction accounting software, then double-entry (or at best import/export) …
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC is a better database and talks to the accounting side. Procore is apparently better with field apps and more user friendly.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    I have used Procore prior and would move back in a heartbeat. The field/PM side of Procore is leaps and bounds better than CMiC. CMiC had a better financial tools side, which is why Brinkman moved to CMiC.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Procore had a much better user interface, required much less training, allowed better subcontractor and designer collaboration, included drawing management, and had a much better punch-list function. However, it required outside software and spreadsheets to manage financials.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Similar to Prolog with user interface and operations - but Prolog was not as robust and didn't have all the modules or abilities.
    Procore is not as robust - didn't have the advantages or timesheets - but much more user friendly with interfaces and intuitiveness in features for a …
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Procore is a better collaborative tool (within the company and with outside partners) but CMiC is a better cost management tool. Procore customizations are really pricey compared to CMiC's. Plan management in Procore is WAY better than CMiC. Procore has better online access to …
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    We evaluated Procore, but couldn't get past their pricing structure. It just didn't make sense to pay more money to Procore, based off of the success of our company. We were more inclined to us a user based fee system that seemed to encompass all facets of construction.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC Construction Platform and GCPay works well together. Their integration provides an efficient working system for our company. Before these two platforms our workflow was a lot less efficient. It is all around better for us and our clients.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Better looking platform. Easy to use as well. CMiC Construction Platform is what was selected by the general contractor for us to use for RFIs and submittals.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC Construction Platform is the best price point in the market. Others are revenue-based billings, and the annual fees reflect as such. CMiC Construction Platform support staff is generally amazing and offers real-time support on critical issues. The imaging and workflow …

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform

    It's significantly worse, even Fieldwire was better and it's a pretty basic system.

    From a drawing/doc management standpoint, CMIC is far behind.
    Incentivized
    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    It doesn't. There are many other programs out there that offer similar services (Procore) that are much more user friendly and offer a collaborative environment for different entities (owner, architect, subcontractors). But the layout and interface is so layered and cumbersome …

    Chose Procore
    Procore is far more userfriendly and adaptable than Plangrid or CMIC. It's a much more intuitive platform with better functionality and ease of use.

    Procore allows multiple team members to work together from different locations and access all the documents and project reports. The Engineering files and various information can also be handled securely and easily through the Procore data management environment. The estimates …

    Chose Procore
    Overall the best single-platform solution right now, but it comes at a high price. Main reason for selecting back in 2016 was integration with accounting/ERP. While Procore has done well improving the product overall, some specific pain points persist and really frustrate …
    Incentivized
    Chose Procore
    We first utilized Procore because it was mandated by the Owner. However, after using it for a few years, I've found that it's my preferred platform. It works just as well (if not better!) than the other programs that I've used. It's typically more user-friendly.
    Incentivized
    Chose Procore
    Prolog is a good project management application, but it doesn't offer the level of customization along with customer feedback & support that Procore does. CMiC is also very similar to Procore and Prolog, but the available features and tools within CMiC fall short of what …

    Chose Procore
    Procore seemed to be more aimed at ease of use for contractors and the day to day on site staff.
    Incentivized
    Chose Procore
    Procore was the first platform we witnessed that appeared to be designed by, or at least in tandem, with construction professionals. The tool itself fits in with how construction operations staff currently do their work and require minimal training in order to roll-out. We also …
    Incentivized
    Chose Procore
    Procore does more than any of the listed above and does them better and in a more user-friendly fashion. Helix is particularly bad for document management usability. Same for e-Builder - the interface is not very user-friendly. We selected Procore based on cost, mobile app for …
    Incentivized
    Chose Procore
    Procore does not have the capabilities that PlanGrid has as site applications, but it does offer more modules. Therefore, it was selected for offering more project management tools.

    Procore is more intuitive to use than CMiC. Furthermore, you have the abilities to make changes …

    I enjoyed working with Constructware better than Procore. I didn't use CMiC because we chose Procore over that software.

    Chose Procore
    CMIC was almost anti-user friendly. While it allowed for project and financial tracking, getting data into teh system was so troublesome it was a deterrent. Newforma was really only a document tool. And while it had advantages at the time, its failure to adapt to competition …

    Chose Procore
    There is no comparison. As I have been saying throughout this survey, the easy, point and click nature of Procore can't stack up against other softwares. Procore has excelled in making Project Management documentation easy. When you do get hung up on a task or can't figure …

    Procore is similar to CMiC since you can do most of the same tasks but Procore is way more user-friendly and the learning curve to use the software is much smaller than it would be using CMiC.

    Chose Procore
    Procore is a more well rounded and seamless software. It also continues to with integrate other third party software solutions making it more of a one stop shop than others.

    procore is a great combination of Bim360 and CMiC. It takes the functions from CMiC and the user friendliness from Bim and combines them into one product.

    Much more user-friendly and intuitive to use. Allows for better and easier communications to architect, owner, and subcontractors.

    Chose Procore
    We spent over two years reviewing/testing several different project management software. Procore's versatility; its ease of on boarding and training and its app are what put it above all the others for us.

    Chose Procore
    All of these systems function very similarly and have many of the same characteristics. I have found Procore to have the best UI and easiest/most efficient interaction of any that I have used.

    Procore was a mix of collaborative and non collaborative software and provided most of the functionality we needed. It was most tailored to the way we have been using project management software in the past.
