The software allows me to set up the whole drilling activities for any project, building or house if desired. Also I can update it with all results and prepare plans for the construction site were I could place the foundations and the sewer installations. > > **Cons**: The software is kind of rough but it works really well, all I need to do is input all the data and this is not a secret, the key factor is the sequence and the best option to do so, to reach this we needed some projects to prepare on our previous system and over the software until we found out the sequence to get the best results. > > We began working on a church to be constructed on Ecuador and we tried out the software in order to learn how to use it. We just follow the instructions and watch the results. It was amazing how in a few steps we can have the hole stratification pattern for the construction site. ----- ### "Great Mapping Software for a Start up Company" — 5.0/5 > **Bruce** | *21 August 2019* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is excellent for data management. The data can be updated quickly. It has very good mapping capabilities which can be modified in a number of ways. I have used Rockworks to prepare mine permit exhibits as well as day to day management of data. I found customer support to be excellent. If I have any questions or issues the response from Rockworks people is timely and patient. Rockworks is very cost effective\! > > **Cons**: The learning curve for Rockworks is relatively steep but this software does so much it should be expected. > > Overall I appreciate the capabilities as well as value of Rockworks.

You can easily import file/data from .shp, .csv, .dxf etc. > > **Cons**: All the features are great, there is absolutely nothing I dislike about the software. It capable of handling great projects > > My overall experience in the past 7years of using Rockworks has been great. ----- ### "RockWorks 17" — 5.0/5 > **Wesley** | *12 August 2019* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to use, the free course is awesome. Also your online support is great and really fast to answer questions. > > **Cons**: When you go to export, say a cross section for example, the patterns and colors don't export out the way the look in Rockworks. I have tried several different ways including using report works, but I haven't found a great way to do this. In future versions, it would be great if exports would stay true to the way they look in the program. ----- ### "Worth any cent?
