With it not having a robust HR side, we wish that it was easier to collect information to make the connection to Arcoro and/or a two way API. > > I have used Spectrum in a previous job (back in 2007) and the company I have been with is now almost live. I feel quite a few good changes have been made since then. ----- ### "Don't do it\!\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Suzanne** | *24 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The job costing seemed relatively robust but is overshadowed by so many other areas that are lacking in performance > > **Cons**: PR, reporting, AP and especially the customer service. When I took the lead role in accounting, this software was already in place but it is highly insufficient for our needs. It is almost impossible to find transactions (both sides of a journal entry, for example) unless you made the entry and already know how it was coded. Customer service is a shot in the dark, to put it mildly and many reps on many occasions indicated to fix a particular issue, a one sided entry would be needed. Anyone in accounting knows that ais a horrifying answer to get. Once we left, we lost access in 30 days and the backup files are even harder to use (you have to search SQL tables) to try to find anything. > > The overall experience was less than stellar. Customer support reps are generally less than knowledgeable, as a whole they give you the impression that they could care less (including sales and other support teams) and other than the job costing, most of the modules are insufficient, daily use is clunky, and reporting is bad. ----- ### "managing member" — 5.0/5 > **Natasha** | *4 August 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payroll has been helpful and useful to our company. We were able to bring this service in house to process ourselves. I like how Accounts payable prints the draw requests. > > **Cons**: I wish credit cards and banks connected live to Spectrum as they do in Quickbooks. It seems like that is a great way to see all the money in real time that goes in and out. > > Training was quick and we picked up on it very quick. Our trainer \[sensitive content hidden\] was wonderful, however it was very expensive which was an added cost I wasn't expecting. ----- ### "Worst Construction ERP Implementation EVER" — 1.0/5 > **Matt** | *21 December 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It appeared during sales to be a turnkey solution for our construction company going to a robust ERP platform. > > **Cons**: The implementation was a scam. We never had good support, we always had to email to track them down and schedule out implementation, they charge insane hourly costs, wont provide you a road map or let you record. Over $40k spent and we were never able to go live and tried to cancel now they won’t respond. > > Worst ERP company for contractors would not recommend at all. ----- ### "Great Functionality with Integration Options" — 5.0/5 > **Tico** | *13 August 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Spectrum has grown in its ability to be integrated with other software to increase its functionality. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of steps to complete a transaction. Also Spectrum user interface has not changed since Windows 95. There are lots of little items that are still there from its legacy days. > > Overall I like Spectrums ability to integrate with other software and ability to import or export data with the use of SDX and API. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/175831/spectrum?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/175831/spectrum) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
