I have found Holobuilder offers the best user interface and tour functionality among competitors.

Ensuring the entire project team understands existing conditions on renovation or adaptive reuse projects. Even team members who are not based on the project site can quickly and efficiently explore existing conditions and confirm elements in the field.

What they liked
  • The user experience, sheet setup, importing functionality and tour navigation are great
  • Both our internal teams building tours and external users of the finished product find the tour easy to operate and are driving value from the deliverable
  • Customer support has been excellent - The team at Holobuilder has been a pleasure to work with
Room for improvement
  • Further automation is generating tours quickly, especial tours with large floor plates (many photos) and multiple levels
  • The 'Time Travel' feature is not always a good solution, as placing the camera in the exact same spot is not always possible

We use holobuilder as the core of our business offering. It is very well designed and intuitive

It is the easiest to use, fastest to deploy VR software available currently, which gives us an edge over our competition in terms of Agility and speed.

What they liked
  • Easiest 360 capture program to use that we have encountered
  • Easy to teach the product to clients and to our own employees, great customer service and feature adding team, robust set of features, works online, easy to share product
Room for improvement
  • Some of the features are still getting the bugs worked out of them
  • The downloadable version of it has many glitches when using the add in features like display text, display warning, or add a pdf or png
  • The online tool is currently the only option for building your VR walkthroughs, which presents a security risk for many of our clients and there is no option yet for an offline creation tool

Easy to use, well designed, and exceptional customer service

We now have one program we can use to: - track and store information regarding our project's progress and upcoming activities - present progress and upcoming activities to stakeholders - record information/data/videos of substantial events

What they liked
  • - The best customer service I've ever received
  • The customer service team is friendly, quick/responsive and helpful
  • - Easy to use during meetings to present to our stakeholders
  • - Program is user friendly and easy to teach to other teammates - Customize-able - time travel feature and ability to import pdfs, photos, contact info, etc
  • to a 360 photo enhances our ability to track our project's progress Would highly recommend
Room for improvement
  • There are a few bugs when using HoloBuilder on the iPad
  • HoloBuilder is better for smaller projects
  • On a large project, with multiple buildings that have multiple floors and multiple sheets that apply to one area; we have to import many sheets
  • Having many sheets can be overwhelming for stakeholders who are trying to see the progress of our project in a quick snapshot

Holobuilder is an amazing program for those who want to cut out the use of site walks on the project

Verified reviewer

What they liked

The ease of use for the integration of 360 pictures is by far one of the best out there and by being able to plot the pictures on a drawing it helps you locate specifically where the picture was taken

Room for improvement
  • The thing I like least about this program is the amount of work it takes to set up all the sheets and locations of pictures
  • It is also hard unless you mark exactly where you took the previous 360 to get the exact same result in the next picture
