    "Huge upgrade over quickbooks"
    OverallTremendous upgrade over quickbooks.
    ProsJob Budget control screen and interactive reports on job costs in real time. Implementation team was phenomenal at helping to deal with the challenges of leaving an inferior software.
    ConsThe migration from quickbooks was very challenging and time consuming. But that is much more an indictment of quickbooks than it is of Jonas.

    "Great Software with Excellent Customer Support"
    ProsThis a robust software that includes both financial management and project management functions. Having both functions under one platform is fantastic for our operations team. The full suite of project management functions means that we do not need additional software to fill gaps in functionality. The best feature is the customer support! The team at Premier actively seeks our feedback, always makes themselves available when we have major issues or simple questions, and the actually use the feedback to develop new features that make the software easier to use. The fact that we can make a suggestion and have it implemented in a relatively short time frame is extremely valuable to us.
    ConsAt the start there is a bit of a learning curve, but the software is very intuitive so people learn quickly. There were some modules that were slightly cumbersome but Premier has been pushing significant updates that have solved those issues and expanded functionality significantly.
    Alternatives ConsideredProcore
    Reasons for Choosing PremierEase of use, better pricing model for our business, customer support was significantly better

    "Customer Service"
    OverallI do not like the program as it takes to many steps to create invoices and find it to be a waste of time during billing. there is not a way to customize our invoices per the clients needs.
    ProsAlthough I do not like the program I have been impressed with the support I receive when needed. Tharani has been an amazing help to me.
    ConsThe amount of steps to create anything!
    Reasons for Choosing PremierIt was lower in cost then others

    "Flexible enough to fit our needs"
    OverallOur staff is small, so having a cloud based system was a must. We needed an easy to use system that was flexible and so far, Premier has delivered this.We have a variety of project and we are not a general contractor. Our needs are unique, but working with our implementation specialist, we were able to configure the system to work for us.
    ProsThe software is configurable and customizable so was able to provide what we need. Each of our projects are different and Premier is able to work with each project's uniqueness.
    ConsIt would be great to have a report writing tool throughout all modules. Some of the reports are not configurable within the software.
    Reasons for Choosing PremierWe needed a cloud solution that was flexible and easy to implement, but had robust job reporting and accounting. Only Premier could meet these requirements.
