Asite

Cloud-based collaboration platform

Kommentare: Features such as AppBuilder or the BIM project portfolio manager optimize the desired results. They are associated with planning and follow-up commands.

Vorteile:

Based on the SaaS cloud, Asite allows you to manage BIM project portfolios, develop custom applications, develop your own workflows. It is also possible to work remotely and synchronize with different stations. Integrates HTML, PDF, and other documentation formats

Nachteile:

Access to the most advanced functionalities is conditioned by an increase in the financial charge for the premium acquisition.

Easy to iuse for doc control viewing and managment

Vorteile:

The ability to view documents prior to downloading is very usefull and a time saver.

Nachteile:

There is nothing that i do not like about Asite

DDG Review 2022

Kommentare: I have used Asite over a number of years now and completed some big projects, as a user/administrator my experience has not been too bad. Certain features that do not give the administrator the opportunity to correct a form and Asite supports refusal to help with this is a frustration and taints the experience a little.

Vorteile:

Easy enough to learn and use, sets up commenting periods and records against it. Can set up distribution groups to make things easier with large documenation that needs distributing.

Nachteile:

Some functions are better/can be done in classic view, some functions are better/can be done in addodle view, shame these 2 are not more in sync and that you as a user have to be switching between the 2 reguarly. No basket option in addodle view means classic will always need to be used when wanting to compile a download of information from different folders and or producing exported reports off of them. Also would be handy if it was easy to delete documents from time to time from the system rather than having to move them to an obsolete folder or making the documeny inactive. Inability to not be able to change incorrect user reference numbers in application forms such as RFI's & NCR's are frustrating and even more so when Asite support wont help you with thgis or want a fee for doing it.....

Love the ease, and accessibility for all levels of users. Lacks admin functions that were on classi.

Kommentare: A better learning platform, made training alot easier as everything is a right click away. Saved me a lot of time also, more time to learn new apps on Asite and less time figuring out functions myself.

Vorteile:

I like the ease of moving files, copying structures, metadata is my favourite new function. Great for super users like myself that created the projects and sets all permissions. The idea of checkout works well too, combines multiple programs into one. Is easy, simple and multi-functional. The Adoddle Help robot is fabulous, on all of my training sessions to new consultants i tell them about this as works well as it changes depending on where you are in the software and you can have help within seconds.

Nachteile:

Least the lack of admin settings, attributes, workflows, purpose of issue etc. Having to change interface back to classic when i am so utterly satisfied with adoddle is inconvenient. Not being able to 'unlink' is extremely annoying, simple reverse functions are lacking. Deactivating works so well for removing, activating incase you made a mistake. The use of linking is used in my day to day document control but not being able to unlink is not as easy, also multi-links to more than once location done with one click would be a great idea. I link files to multi projects and to repeat multiple times is time consuming.

We use Asite for design phase of projects generally and it includes most of the features we need.

Kommentare: Provides excellent document control among design team members and provides compliance with PAS1192-2:2013 level 2 BIM standards.

Vorteile:

Document control is very good once people are up to speed on the software. The ability to find documents especially on larger projects with numerous participants is very useful to us. Document Audit/ history is very good.

Nachteile:

Security on folders is cumbersome - need some means to propagate rights form a parent folder to a sub folder. Audit system is very good but Distribution system could be improved - difficult to get the distributions like we would have on a traditional architects transmittal register where we can cross reference documents by date it was distributed. Can be done is reports but reporting system also needs improving. Forms are good once setup but not intuitive for users unfamiliar with how they work.
