    Buyer Beware

    Reviewed on 2018-02-21

    Pros

    The amount of positive reviews online make it look like a quality "next generation" product for the changing construction industry.

    Cons

    Customer Service is very slow to respond to requests. Monthly, if not weekly server issues that cause our staff an inability to do their job for hours at a time. Closed Financial reports will change on Jonas side without knowledge to their team for why. When confronted with these issues the Jonas team is not responsive or understanding.

    Pretty good so far. It took a while to get everyone in the company on board with new processes but that's to be expected. I think as time goes on, it's getting easier and everyone is seeing/realizing the benefits

    Pros

    So far, the individual approvals for invoices, subcontracts, COs are all really great and have already streamlined a lot of clunky process we had in the past. It's hard to evaluate job costing and budget management since we don't have a ton of historical data in there for jobs yet.

    Cons

    It's very difficult to get it to integrate with our current estimating software. We're in the process of changing over, so I know it's only temporary
