AGi32 for the win!
I have been a user of AGi32 for over 15 years. It has been great. I have learned so much and become a better designer with the use of this software.
- Integrating renderings are easy to use
- This program is multi-functional as I do work in the Roadway Lighting design industry too
- I can complete all of my design calculations in one program
- The least ideal feature of this software is that all of the elements (drawing, calculation points, luminaires, and 3D models) cannot be moved all together
- They have to be moved individually

Long ride
we are able to do comparative analysis , we are able to prove our product, we show our customer things that keep them out of hot water, like environmental issues, light trespass, municipality specifications, code requirements.
- The feature that sits best with me is the support from the company
- its fast , very helpful and hits the nail on the head when it comes to being the best in the industry
- nothing
- yea the only limiting factor is the owners hardware

Fantastic Photometrics in an Awkward Interface
Over the past 15 years, I have used AGi32 to analyze lighting solutions for a wide variety of building types. AGi32 has been an indispensable tool.
- AGi32 has set the standard for complete and accurate lighting calculations for three decades
- Luminaire data is easy to import and analyze from any industry standard photometric data format Room geometry can be created quickly and even traced from imported cad or PDF backgrounds
- A variety of rendering options including pseudo color allow the results to be analyzed visually
- Images of renderings are exported in standard image formats, and calculation results can be exported in CAD and Excel
- The modeling tools are limited and lag far behind 3D modeling software standards
- It is difficult and awkward to model complex 3D geometry
- The ability to import models from Sketchup is a saving grace, but individual surface properties still need to be set one at a time
- The with button Icons are reminiscent of Windows 3
- 1 shareware programs from the 1990's

Great functionality, exceptional customer service!
I love using and learning this software. I'm a manufacturing agent so being able to show my customers lighting is essential to my business.
- Customer service/tech support is exceptional
- They are quick to respond and explain in an understandable way
- Software is easy to use and numerous trainings are available
- Sketch Up used to have an add-on to integrate with AGI32 but no longer does
- Projects with numerous fixtures/lots of modeling bogs down AGI32

Full function and highly capable
I have modeled every type of project I could imagine including simple parking lots, train paint facilities, roadways with bridges over rivers, exterior facades, offices, residences and creating an aurora effect in a medical facility corridor.
AGi32 is the industry standard for accurate modeling fixture performance in every type of application from stream culverts to multi-story buildings
- I wish some of the rendering features were more intuitive

Neither product had the import/export capabilities or the accuracy of AGi32

The O'Hanlon Group's Perspective
Since shifting my focus from a sales to design services to the rep, mfr., and distributor markets, AGi32 has given us an opportunity to provide a service to these respective industry channels whom often have limtied skills in using the software.
Having used AGi32 since 1995, I have found it a useful daily tool in imparting a better lighting performance story beyond the mere empirical
- My limited skills using ACAD sometimes handcuffs me in updating projects
- This isn't necessarily an AGi32 issue, but easier integration (at least for me) would be useful

Product line changes.

What is the Future of AGI
Verified reviewer
- I have been using this software from it's inception and have 12 full time employees using it everyday
- It works
- This software will be obsolete soon
- We live in a 64 bit world and this is a 32 bit program It is a struggle to get it to work many times without crashing
- Elum Tools is a joke that has little to offer the normal agi user that has little or no revit knowledge nor the need to learn it

The lighting Design Software for all Lighting Professionals.
I have been using this software for the lighting design requiring to meet challenging project specifications using specific luminaires for the applications such as roadways, tunnels and bridge lighting, sports lighting, building facade, garage and parking area lighting etc.
Easy to use, suitable for the all lighting applications, easy interface between CAD software, allow to create lighting report and presentation within the software
I wish this software can allow more 3D CAD commends (within the software) for creating 3D models with lighting properties assigned which can be used in the lighting calculations

Easy to use
Verified reviewer
- AGI32 makes lighting design seamless
- The Instabase makes finding many fixtures for your project easy
- If a fixture is not there, it is also simple to pull the ies files from a manufacturer's website to add them to your project
- Building rooms or buldings are also very easy
After using the program for 20 years, all the things I would have listed as a "con" have been fixed

AGi32 user review
Overall, it is a good program, and it helps my business to confidently recommend the products that I run calculations with in the program.
- This is a valuable tool in lighting deign and specification
- I like that it helps me to recommend lighting products and validate light levels
- The program does seem to have a fair amount of glitches, especially when new versions roll out
- It sometimes gets frustrating when the program crashes and you have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting the issue
