Great product with ease of use
ArcSite has been my main app for staircase take off and will remain so. Customer service is more than helpful and provides great support.
Export to CAD files and PDF, ease of calibration on plans, excellent customer support and regular updates with new features
- The fact that I have 3 tools using this software by me, logs me out since I only have 1 licence
- Depending on need, I may use one of my 2 iPads or my iPhone
- It would be great if we could stay logged in all tools

I have been using ArcSite for over 5 years now and have grown to appreciate all that the program has to offer. A small learning curve, as with any product, but once you use it enough, it becomes second nature and makes you look very good to the homeowner.
- Ease of use and the support ArcSite provides once you run into any issues
- They are extremely supportive and willing to accommodate your specific needs
- Requires connectivity to the internet to produce the proposal, but there is no way around that issue
- Just some places tend to be harder to connect and upload than it should be

Cost and lack of support. CAD was great to use but they wanted way too much money for their support.

Still a good value, but unresolved bugs have us checking alternatives again
I have previously reviewed Arcsite on Capterra, but am removing stars based on our recent experience. At this overall performance level and price point, the app is a good, but no longer compelling value.
- This is an excellent app designed primarily for field diagramming
- With it, we are able to create building diagrams quickly for our building inspection reports
- In-app draining controls are well thought out to quickly layout and then fine tune as needed, with advanced controls
- It exports to pdf, dwg, png and other formats and offers cloud backups too
- A perfect marriage between this app and an iPad/pencil
- We have used it create hundreds of building diagrams over the last two years
- The main app engineer is rolling out new features consistently
- We use iPad pros Wifi+ cellular on AT&T for diagramming and bugs that have continued unresolved for months have caused us to start re-considering alternatives
- For example, swiping between apps causes the drawing to window to zoom out to the point where the diagram is only a pixel on the screen
- Sometimes the entire app goes to a blank white screen, then reverts to the projects list, forcing us to re-open the active drawing
- Snapping to grid is a basic function, but when reviewing drawings closely, lines that were supposed to have snapped to the grid are actually only next to the grid lines and not accurately placed
- We have to zoom in quite far to correct
- With more complex drawings, containing over 70 elements or so, the app bogs down significantly and crashes, even though we think it should be able to easily handle more complex drawings than we use it for
- The monthly fees are significant at the small business level
- As of today, $360/year and $720/year for cross-device sync capability
- AutoCAD LT, which is close in capability, costs $390/year and includes both desktop and mobile apps for iOS
- Although support was responsive before, our support requests have not been answered the last two times we've asked for help
- The answer has been that they are unable to duplicate the issue we see
- However, on our end, the bugs persist through iOS updates, app updates, and on multiple devices

Floor plan layout
Verified reviewer
- Home layout is easy to draw and add windows and doors
- Easy to change and relocate items within the floor plan
- Hard to size and rotate doors to create the hinging swing
- Outswing to in swing
- Some of the windows seem to disappear within the wall sections
- Very hard to see

100% Recommend ArcSite!!!
ArcSite has increase my clients satisfaction due my report floor plans having a professional layout and a quicker product delivery! Also during the trial, the ArcSite walked me through and answered all my questions promptly. I have introduced all my colleagues and our Business owners in my industry to ArcSite.
Very user friendly, Great build in features, however the Top Tear feature for me is the scanning feature
I been using ArcSite software for over 3 weeks now and to be completely honest there are truly no cons
Why they chose it
"Scanning feature really makes my business life easier"

ArcSite Utilization
Very good. I pick up something new weekly.
- Quick to learn
- Love the duplicate project and layers
- Calibration tool should only recalibrate the current project
- Would like more tutorials on controlling the size of fonts and fillable spaces

Company provides the software. Switch was made for uniformity.

Design specialist review
It’s made my job very easy and again makes me look super professional for customer
- This is my first time using this type of software
- I’m a design specialist and my job entails me drawing full footprint for homes and concrete in order to bid jobs and the software has made it very simple and easy to complete my job while looking very professional for customers
My only con would be that there is a lot to learn and know, but that’s gonna be the same with any type of software

Up-and-coming
After playing with it long enough and getting used to all the options and tools, not bad
- The ability to edit or add elevation numbers
Different kind of utilities add-ons that we can add to the drawing that would be around homes and or commercial buildings like pool pump
