Bluebeam Reviews & Product Details

Bluebeam offers a range of benefits, but my personal favorite is the erase content tool. This feature is especially useful when I need to create new plans based on existing ones. After becoming familiar with Bluebeam, I found it very straightforward to use, and it’s also easy to teach others for company-wide implementation. Another feature I rely on daily is Bluebeam Studio, which allows multiple people to work on the same file simultaneously with real-time updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like the least about Bluebeam is that when you are zoomed in all of the way and move your cursor to the side of the screen you move all over the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Bluebeam because it makes my workflow more efficient and flexible. I use it mainly for adding annotations to blueprints, which saves me from having to go back into Revit to make changes. The Revit add-on is especially useful for organizing print sets and automating repetitive steps, which helps cut down on time. Since I often need to markup prints for precast, structural details, and architectural wall openings for ductwork, Bluebeam makes those tasks quick and straightforward. I also find the recent tools tab extremely helpful; it speeds up repetitive markups and keeps my process consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Bluebeam is the switch from a one-time purchase model to subscription licensing. From my perspective, I haven’t seen significant added value moving from Bluebeam 20 (lifetime license) to Bluebeam 21 (subscription). While some users may find the new tools in 21 helpful, the features introduced so far haven’t justified the ongoing cost for the way I use the software. If future updates included more impactful tools or improvements, the subscription model would feel easier to justify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software itself does a good job. It's much easier than using something like Illustrator for markups. Bluebeam is built for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ever since I started managing our company Bluebeam account, I've realized how much of an absolute joke this company is. Their subscription, seat assignment setup is difficult to understand. 3 times now Ive had to contact support because subscriptions stop working. All I get for a response from customer support is "oh its all set now!"

This is a giant waste of time and I'm actively looking for another software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BlueBeam is by far, the easiest takeoff tool on the market today. Before choosing BlueBeam, I reviewed just about every takeoff tool available and did extensive evaluations of each. BlueBeam not only provides excellent document/drawing management and tools, it all comes at an incredibly low price, when compared to the competition. I don't think the BlueBeam is missing anything!

There really isn't anything that I don't like... I think that the data export (for those of us who still use Excel for data manipulation) could be a bit better, but other than that, it's awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple enough for quick markups, but powerful enough for advanced tasks like quantity takeoffs and overlay comparison Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some projects with massive drawings or complex markups can cause lag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluebeam is the best PDF editing software out there for Architects, Contractors, Engineers and our Clients. I love the blue beam session function to interact with internal and external professionals for red marks and instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High Quality Renders from other software do crash the bluebell system. This is annoying but if you aren't editing or viewing multiple renders its perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
