There are so many feature which are very user friendly. I love candy and using it more than 12 years. ----- ### "RIB Candy - One of the best software to use for Construction cost tracking" — 4.0/5 > **Andre** | *12 January 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to understand and use, even if you are used to software such as DimensionX. Easy importation/exportation of Excel BOQ. > > **Cons**: Sometimes while using a tool the curser seems to jump to other areas of the screen not being used. No shortcut key to quickly select the same tool being used. > > My overall experience has been good. I think it is very compatible with windows, allowas for easy importation and exportation of excel bill of quantities documents. Once measures have been linked to an item it updates automatically as you add or subtract. Allows for comprehensive comparisons of original vs. actual quantities. Payment certificates are easy to create and share. Very good integration with BuildSmart ----- ### "Candy Export disparities" — 3.0/5 > **Sumitha** | *31 March 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: step by step description is good to understand even for people who have not used candy before. Thats good. > > **Cons**: No clear description available on how to fix import/export disparities between candy and MPP or P6 files. > > good experience so far even people who have not used candy before. Highly recommended for everyone. Really nice. ----- ### "not great but not terrible." — 3.0/5 > **Matthew** | *1 April 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: relatively little bloat and low resource usage . quite quick to rearrange and calculate estimate price code system makes it easy to populate a high level estimate > > **Cons**: ~ Cannot link clients schedule to estimate ~ Usability significantly hampered when in Mult-user mode ~ Lacks tracking functions for changes to resources and costs ~ Program information must be manually typed in to the planning module ~ Access control by file path and user level only > > good enough. there's better software out there very time consuming to integrate estimate with client schedule and program compared to other programs. adding resources could be a lot easier. ----- ### "How CCS Candy can improve profitability of Small to Medium Construction Companies in South Africa." — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *31 March 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes my pricing simple, cheap and faster. The fact that I can copy prices from previous jobs make it easy even for comparison. I can manage subcontractors, material and even update my schedule and link them for ease of managing my projects. > > **Cons**: The fact that it has not integrated AI into the pricing or quantity take off leaves RIB Candy behind other construction software. > > So far RIB CCS Candy has improved the company profitability and improved our accuracy in terms of prices and quantity take off. This has really made a difference in the retention of tenders. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/126567/candy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/126567/candy) ## 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 | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
