Anmeldelser af Bluebeam Revu

Blue beam review

Kommentarer: It is my preferred PDF editor and I constantly use it to make edits

Fordele:

It is very user friendly and very intuitive. The dashboards are set up similar to acad and I can draw pretty well. The editing features are also top notch.

Ulemper:

It is a bit pricey for a PDF editor. You can get adobe versions much cheaper and while it maybe less functional, the adobe programs do work ok.

Best Functioning PDF Software

Kommentarer: Revu has everything needed for editing, measuring, overlaying and marking up pdfs. Incredible time saver.

Fordele:

Very functional, everything you could need in the construction world for a PDF software.

Ulemper:

I'd like it to be able to read text better, my phone can decipher text from a photo better than Revu can decipher the same text from a pdf of the same photo.

Time lost over horrible system. FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU KNOW EXIST

Kommentarer: Poor at Best. I am so tired of taking my time to explain your horrible system to our clients. WEAK!!!!

Fordele:

Nothing!! Because it doesn't work consistently enough to monitor anything good.

Ulemper:

Poor system, POOR communication with other systems that your group guaranteed would work. We all know that you have tried to fix problems, but your group cannot seem to get it right.

tons of features, faily easy to use

Kommentarer: I use this program almost daily for work and find it to be faily simple, mostly reliable, and with all the features I could hope for without being crazy complex.

Fordele:

Lots of useful features. Easy to merge documents and edit files. Lots of editing tools, and once all that's done, you can also reduce file size to allow the file to compress and be small enough to attach to emails.

Ulemper:

Certain updates make it very glitchy and it will freeze frequently on me. Other updates are perfectly fine. Seems they issue a revised update fairly quickly when these issues occur.

Sheng Review

Kommentarer: Good, its pretty easy to use and i like the file reduction option

Fordele:

easy to use, i like to review options and doc compare functions

Ulemper:

it crash a lot on big files, and slow too

Amazing PDF reader, better than Adobe Acrobat. Very useful engineering tools

Kommentarer: This is the fastest tool when it comes to drawing review, pdf document creation and control, and diagram creation. The tools at your disposal allow you to do many things which other programs do not. I would recommend this software over any other PDF reader.

Fordele:

Very handy and intuitive engineering tools, you can mark up drawings, get measurements and estimate quantities very easily. The drawings tools are also very useful, allowing for easy creation of clean diagrams. The PDF tools are powerful and I have completely phased out Adobe Acrobat in favour of using Bluebeam.

Ulemper:

The only downside I have come across is the inability to created lines of fixed length, you have to create a measurement and then create a line to match the measurement.

Bluebeam is a cost effective alternative to other PDF Editors in the construction world

Fordele:

Cost effectiveness and ease of use compared to other editors.

Ulemper:

Some tools are less sophisticated than other editors on the market but overall worth it in terms of cost.

Bluebeam Revu raving results

Fordele:

Once I learned how to use it there was no going back to Adobe. Blue Beam has management tools that improve review speed and accuracy.

Ulemper:

Thelearning curve if you really want to use the product the correct way.

Bluebeam Revu

Kommentarer: I was a little hesitant at first when my company switched from Adobe to Bluebeam, but now that I have gotten use to the program I would never want to go back to Adobe.

Fordele:

It's easy to mark up PDF files. In the construction industry, we make markups on blueprints and submittals. It's also easy for material take-offs with the measuring tools.

Ulemper:

I still haven't been satisfied with all the toolbars and their locations. I have a tool bar on the top, side and bottom and I haven't figured out how to make it so I can just show the tools that I use the most.

Untrustworthy Developer - Dropped the ball

Fordele:

Brings a lot of features and functionality missing from Acrobat. To my knowledge, no other PDF software is geared towards the A+E market. I wish there was another one out there so that these guys didn't have a monopoly on the market. It has given them a sense of invincibility that has led to stagnation and a lack of genuine support for their customers.

Ulemper:

I've been using Revu for about 8 years, 5 of those on Windows. The last 3 are at my most recent job, and when I found out that Bluebeam had created a Revu for Mac, I was quick to push our company to adopt. I even gave a lunchtime presentation to show everyone some of the really powerful features I had come to know and love from the windows side. Playing with the trial version of 1.0, though, I quickly realized that a ton of features were absent from the windows version. I went ahead and gave the presentation anyway, though and with some convincing, we bought seats for everyone. It became clear within the first week of using the software, though, that it was incredibly slow. So slow as to be unusable. It took several seconds to render every page... considering that we regularly deal with 100+ page architectural sets, this made the program worthless in a lot of cases. What's more we really felt the lack of some features from the windows side, many of which were so basic that it's laughable that Bluebeam decided not to invest in them. You can't crop pdfs for instance. Anyway, when bluebeam for mac 2.0 came out, we bought in thinking that we'd be getting all of the features that we were missing along with performance improvements. Turns out they decided to revamp the UI with almost 0 feature inclusions. The performance of page rendering was significantly improved, which was helpful, although page thumbnails now no longer load.

BlueBeam Revu

Kommentarer: the product makes it easy to measure, mark up and make amendments to drawings during the design process without the need to have expensive CAD software

Fordele:

easy to use, inexpensive and has great features

Ulemper:

I sometimes struggle to find features, but that is because I don't use everything all the time, and it is a very feature rich product

Bluebeam has a great choice

Kommentarer: I think blue beam is a great choice, especially if you choose to get the higher tier software package. It includes OCR as well as visual recognition, which helps tremendously when you’re looking for something.

Fordele:

I believe it is one of the easiest Software’s to learn as well as it being widely used that creates lots of resources to collaborate with others

Ulemper:

There are some quirks about the customization of takeoff items. I would have liked to have seen more templates available for the construction industry particularly Commercial Roof.

Blue Beam

Kommentarer: Employees on the job can now easily scale plans right off their tablet instead of the paper plans

Fordele:

Super easy to download a pdf for markup , reading , scrolling or even zoom. This program is very helpful for construction plans.

Ulemper:

It was pretty complicated to learn all of the tools and commands. I feel I only use a portion of this and a missing out on some cool features.

Bluebeam Revu 21

Fordele:

Quick measurements on PDF drawings, available tools are robust and haven't been missing anything I need. The prebuilt scales are ample. Drawing overlay feature is very helpful in comparing revision drawings.

Ulemper:

Steep learning curve to get started, fortunately there are some BB University courses to get the ball rolling.

Good but not for Mac software

Kommentarer: Good easy to use, would have carried on using if was compatible with Mac

Fordele:

it was easy to use, all information could be saved on to desktop. Amazing features to make take off process much smoother

Ulemper:

it is not compatible with Mac. we were old it was going to be cloud based 2 years ago so that Mac users can use the software but never happened

BB Revue - Track all changes to any document and review design live.

Fordele:

The ability to track changes to any document.

Ulemper:

That others do not know its full potential in design reviews and across the construction industry.

Bluebeam usages

Kommentarer: Bluebeam was a software that is user friendly and effective. The functions that I used help make my workday easier.

Fordele:

Bluebeam is a great software necessity, It helped me get organized and was easy to operate

Ulemper:

Bluebeam's take off functions were basic but efficient. It allowed me to get through the jobs easily.

A great solution for take-offs

Fordele:

Bluebeam Revu is a great solution for creating take-off from a PDF file that cannot be converted to DWG or any other drawing extension. Bluebeam Revu is very smooth and does not consume much from the PC resources. the best thing about Bluebeam Revu is that you can import all your work to Excel.

Ulemper:

There is nothing to dislike about Bluebeam Revu, the software is perfectly working and benefiting us at the maximum level.

Best take-off software

Kommentarer: Bluebeam Revu isn't suitable for PDF reading and editing only. It's advanced software for engineering functions.

Fordele:

Bluebeam Revu is full of engineering functions and features, best for reading PDF drawings.

Ulemper:

Bluebeam Revu is costly and complicated for basic users.

Useful Tool

Fordele:

Reviewing PDF documents and making adjustments is made easy.

Ulemper:

No negative things to say about it at this time.

Functional

Fordele:

Great when using on the go at different sites

Ulemper:

If you dont know what hour doing it can be challenging

Way more than just a .PDF program...

Fordele:

I love all of the takeoff features bluebeam has. Being tailor made for construction and having all of the same features as the competitors as well makes it a no Brainer for me.

Ulemper:

Integration was easy. Learning the program is slightly different than competitors but there is a good help section and online communities.

Easy to use

Kommentarer: very good

Fordele:

very cheap and good tools and easy to use

Ulemper:

no longer supported on Mac meaning it cannot update and features can no longer be added

Great for any construction company

Fordele:

I loved being able to learn the ins and out of this software, however it was not was easy for me. Helping a local construction company use this software to put their PDFs together and help create new blueprints. User friendly on an advanced design level.

Ulemper:

The mark ups took some getting used to but once I understood the concept it wasn’t that hard

Great product for architects

Kommentarer: Bluebeam works great and helps me get through my job duties.

Fordele:

Bluebeam allows for me to easily review drawings and mark up edits with an ease. I also enjoy cool features such as scaling objects and finding measurements which is not common with other pdf viewers.

Ulemper:

I think more tutorials or training should be available. I often feel that I am not getting the most out of the features.
