    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
    Procore does Project Management better, however, we selected CMiC because of the single unified database for Project Management and Accounting.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    It has been many years since we evaluated something else. Feature wise, CMiC [Construction Platform] is robust. Smaller user base, but is a solid platform. As mentioned, their testing on new releases could be greatly improved upon. It doesn't feel as polished as some more …

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    The reason we chose CMIC over other platforms 3 years ago is because it was cloud-based and reasonably priced.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    Viewpoint is more flexible with deliverables, however CMiC is better with tracking finances.

    Chose Vista
    Vista is made for a specific size company with limited customization needed. It is a great tool until you get to the much bigger size companies.

    Chose Vista
    Penta runs on Oracle, which makes development slower and more costly. New features cannot be incorporated into the software as quickly. CMiC is very good as a primarily web based software. It seems to go too far that way, where Vista has thick client for core office programs …

    Chose Vista
    The system that was used before was antiquated and unforgiving to use. I do not need to learn the quirks of the system to make it work, Vista just works. I was not a part of the selection team but I can tell you that Vista is a huge improvement compared to the old software …

    Chose Vista
    It is was a bargain and is feature-rich. When I compared apples to apples it was no contest which one was the best value - Vista. It has more features than most of its competition
    • Customizable - easy and multiple ways to customize, to get provide solutions the way we did …

    Chose Vista
    When we were looking it came down to Viewpoint and CMiC. Viewpoint won because of their ability to customize was more robust. Also 12 years ago we were not eager to go to the cloud and CMiC was cloud-based only.
