There are so many feature which are very user friendly. I love candy and using it more than 12 years. ----- ### "CCS is the best Construction Software Tool in the World" — 5.0/5 > **Karl** | *9 October 2025* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The CCS software has the best customer support. the software is the most reliable and accurate product available, its ease of use and the multitude of reporting functions for job analysis is second to none. The software updates are always seeking ways to improve the users experience and accuracy > > **Cons**: The licence costs are high, but in their defence this product is unmatched by the competition. The software for some reason does not function as efficiently (fast) when its being run over a WIFI conneciotn instead of a hard line (ethernet) > > I have been working with Candy since 2006 and have always had nothing but positive experiences with them, they have professional and informed staff who will always sort your problems out with a solution no matter the magnitude ----- ### "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. ----- ### "New User Review" — 5.0/5 > **Morali** | *23 June 2026* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The program looks promising to cover from estimation to Cost Control , which are 2 major key elements in project execution. Making the program best achive earn value. The Collaboration between department become essential.The program ensure the value spend on the software is worth.Data can be updated and used from old tenders to new tenders. > > **Cons**: Initial usage may be time consuming and requires a lot of close coordination with RIB. The learning curve maybe time consuming but need to be checked. > > This is my first introduction on a face to face seminar. I m very optimistic on the software and can be a game changer for estimation process for specialiest contractor ----- ### "Feature-Rich Software That Needs a User Experience and Workflow Refresh" — 4.0/5 > **Faseen Ameer** | *1 October 2025* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: RIB Candy covers everything from pre-tender to post-tender project control seamlessly. The tools and reports meet all our requirements. I use the Estimation module extensively, and it's proven to be good and efficient for our daily work. The customer service team is responsive and always ready to help. > > **Cons**: The interface feels outdated and overly complicated, which impacts usability. The Post-Tender Project Tools are tedious to navigate. Finding required documents is difficult, and the EVM workflow needs significant improvement to be more intuitive and user-friendly. It is difficult to track tasks. > > It is a powerful tool with solid functionality and excellent support, but modernizing the interface and simplifying post-tender workflows would significantly enhance its value ----- 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
