INTRODUCTION

This FrontRunners analysis is a data-driven assessment identifying products in the

Construction Project Management software market that offer the best capability and value for small businesses. For a given market, products are evaluated and given a score for the capability (x-axis) and value (y-axis) they bring to users. FrontRunners then plots the top 25-30 products in a quadrant format.

In the Construction Project Management FrontRunners infographic, the Capability axis starts at 3.00 and ends at 4.30, while the Value axis starts at 3.20 and ends at 4.50. Scales may differ between quadrants in order to capture the relative positioning of the specific products in each category.

To be considered for the Construction Project Management FrontRunners, a product needed a minimum capability user rating score of 3.0 and a minimum value user rating score of 3.0. All products that qualify as FrontRunners are top performing products in their market.

Each product falls within a designated quadrant based on their axis scores. Dependent on the specific needs of the software buyer, a product placed in any quadrant category could be a good fit.

QUADRANT CATEGORIES:

» UpperRight=Leaders:Leaders are all-around strong products. They offer the highest value and capability in that market.

» UpperLeft=Masters: Masters may have fewer capabilities, but end users value those capabilities highly. Depending on the functionality needed, a product positioned in the Masters quadrant might be a better option to consider than products positioned in other quadrants.

» LowerRight=Pacesetters: Pacesetters may offer a strong set of capabilities, but are not rated as high on value. For example, a Pacesetter might have a breadth of functionality at a higher price point.

» LowerLeft=Contenders: Contenders are strong-performing products that have not yet achieved the Value and Capability of the products in the other quadrants. For example, products in this quadrant may be more suited for companies that need more specialized functionality that comes at a price.

ConstructionProjectManagementsoftware helps construction operations maximize the

number of projects they can deliver on-time and on-budget.

Software Advice’s FrontRunners quadrant is focused on the North American Construction Project Management market. We identify this set of core capabilities for the Construction Project Management category: at least three of the following: project scheduling, document control, jobcosting, bidmanagement and changeorders.

In addition, we identify several related features that organizations purchasing Construction Project Management software may also need or wish to consider: purchase orders, equipment and resource management, submittals, transmittals, RFI management, billing and invoicing, calculators, contract management, cost database, incident reporting, permit management, quote management, selection sheets, takeoff, task management and timesheets.

The FrontRunnersmethodology assesses and calculates a score for products on two primary

dimensions: Capability on the x-axis and Value on the y-axis.

THE CAPABILITY SCORE IS AN OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF SCORES INCLUDING:

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s functionality.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s ease of use.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s customer support.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the product’s inclusion of key functionality for the software category.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the number of other products that integrate with it.

THE VALUE SCORE IS AN OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF SCORES INCLUDING:

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on overall satisfaction with the product.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on how valuable users consider the product to be relative to its price.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on how likely they are to recommend the product to others.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the size of the product’s customer base.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the number of professionals in the market who have experience with the product (e.g., users, developers, administrators).

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the total number of user reviews across the three Gartner web properties.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the average number of times per month internet users search for the product on Google.

Markets are defined by a core set of functionality, and products considered for, and included in, FrontRunners must offer that core set of functionality. Additional related functionality can contribute to the capability score for a product. To qualify for consideration in FrontRunners for a software category, a product must have at least 10 unique user-submitted product reviews across the three Gartner Digital Markets web properties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com and getapp.com.
