Adding PowerBi over the top of this data should be icing on the cake. Their support has been fantasic as well. > > **Cons**: I would really like to see a smooth export...edit...import process with excel. I have this in Revit with DiRoots, AVAIL, and other "spreadsheet link" add-ons. > > Overall, great experience with the software and their support team. ----- ### "You will love it" — 5.0/5 > **Pieter Jan** | *16 June 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Previously, we had to utilize multiple software tools to achieve the desired outcome. Excel lacked visual clarity due to the absence of images, and transferring data to InDesign required an excessive number of steps.Layer is the solution for this. > > **Cons**: Cheaper version for people who are not using revit. > > The implementation in our office went very smoothly. It felt very intuitive for everyone. It was the perfect solution. ----- ### "Layer Review" — 4.0/5 > **Jacob** | *14 June 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service was very responsive and receptive. The PDFs we imported allowed us to link photos to specific locations, cutting down on time spent trying to identify location of photos across team members. The fields are very customizable, allowing for a variety of different types of projects. The report function was easy to use and customize. All files are located in one project. > > **Cons**: As the project progressed, speed of the website dipped with more and more files being added. However, customer service was quick to provide solutions. Saving backup files required us to have the team at Layer archive it for us. Layer limits the number of photos per element to 12. Some instances may require more. > > Without Layer, the data collection process for our project would have drastically increased. Layer kept our photos and PDFs all in one place, making for a much simpler process in generating deliverable reports. ----- ### "Saves me hours" — 5.0/5 > **Julia** | *7 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to customize forms and build out data collection in a way that suits a project's needs. > > **Cons**: Depending on how much data (in my case PHOTOS) you collect you may need product support to run a backup and download the data. > > Customer support has been wonderful and responsive. The programming team has been responsive to suggestions to improve the application. ----- ### "Layer - 1 year road test" — 5.0/5 > **Louise** | *2 August 2021* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s ease of access, it’s functionality, it’s a reliable tool that doesn’t crash and such a positive team of developers who are always looking to improve Layer based on customer feedback > > **Cons**: There isn’t anything particularly negative - any gremlins (when found) are quickly dealt with. Some features aren’t fully available yet - which can be mildly frustrating, but we know that they are being worked on and when available will add to the positive experience of being a Layer user. > > Without Layer, my company would not be able to produce the highly accurate models and reports needed and allow for the company to maximise working efficiencies. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1015852/layer?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1015852/layer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
