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 **Cons**: The interface feels outdated and overly complicated, which impacts usability.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 ----- ### "not great but not terrible." — 3.0/5 > **Matthew** | *1 April 2026* | Construction | 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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "“Great support and efficient tool, but room for stability improvement”" — 5.0/5 > **Amr** | *26 August 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked their quick support and response. The application looks simple, but it does a lot of great things in a short time. All the add-ins are available inside the app itself, so there is no need to go further. Installation and product updates are also very simple > > **Cons**: Sometimes it crashes when opening multiple projects at the same time. also the user ionterface look alittle bit old and need more graphics to make it easty to use > > Overall, my experience with RIB Candy has been very positive. The tool is user-friendly, reliable, and offers excellent support. It helps save time, improve productivity, and provides everything needed in one platform. ----- ### "Time saving Candy." — 5.0/5 > **Gerhard** | *3 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I consider Candy to be great value for money. It enabled me to go paperless to a large extent. The integration with QTO is exceptional to me since it can handle both PDF and DWG files, making measurements easy and precise. > > **Cons**: The program lacks Windows shortcuts like Ctr+C etc. which makes it time consuming to perform basic task like copy and paste. > > It revolutionized my work, allowing me to measure and capture the information on the same platform without files full of printed plans and measuring paper. Candy also halved the time it takes me to do the same work, simply because I do not have to copy handwritten work into some software program. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/126567/candy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/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
