Very useful for site survey information, I use almost every day!
Accuracy of information going to design engineer has doubled... it's been very helpful to help customers visualize the end product as well.
Pros
It is very simple, and easy to use. Custom objects is immensly helpful. I love the ability to import a photo, calibrate, and then measure distances from there-- I can now grab a quick snap of a building fire-plan or paper construction plans, etc. and do most measurements on the spot without having to individually measure off things. And if I've forgotten to measure something, I can still get that number after I get back to the office. It's also useful on the sales end to help give customer a quick layout of what they are getting or work to be done.
Cons
Mult it out over several people, and it's pricey for each subscription. The ability to do ellipsoids and not just circles would make perspective a little simpler to do. Right now, you have to do a bunch of arcs which is very cumbersome.

I have been using ArcSite for over 5 years now and have grown to appreciate all that the program has to offer. A small learning curve, as with any product, but once you use it enough, it becomes second nature and makes you look very good to the homeowner.
Pros
Ease of use and the support ArcSite provides once you run into any issues. They are extremely supportive and willing to accommodate your specific needs.
Cons
Requires connectivity to the internet to produce the proposal, but there is no way around that issue. Just some places tend to be harder to connect and upload than it should be.

Still a good value, but unresolved bugs have us checking alternatives again
I have previously reviewed Arcsite on Capterra, but am removing stars based on our recent experience. At this overall performance level and price point, the app is a good, but no longer compelling value.
Pros
This is an excellent app designed primarily for field diagramming. With it, we are able to create building diagrams quickly for our building inspection reports. In-app draining controls are well thought out to quickly layout and then fine tune as needed, with advanced controls. It exports to pdf, dwg, png and other formats and offers cloud backups too. A perfect marriage between this app and an iPad/pencil. We have used it create hundreds of building diagrams over the last two years. The main app engineer is rolling out new features consistently.
Cons
We use iPad pros Wifi+ cellular on AT&T for diagramming and bugs that have continued unresolved for months have caused us to start re-considering alternatives. For example, swiping between apps causes the drawing to window to zoom out to the point where the diagram is only a pixel on the screen. Sometimes the entire app goes to a blank white screen, then reverts to the projects list, forcing us to re-open the active drawing. Snapping to grid is a basic function, but when reviewing drawings closely, lines that were supposed to have snapped to the grid are actually only next to the grid lines and not accurately placed. We have to zoom in quite far to correct. With more complex drawings, containing over 70 elements or so, the app bogs down significantly and crashes, even though we think it should be able to easily handle more complex drawings than we use it for.
The monthly fees are significant at the small business level. As of today, $360/year and $720/year for cross-device sync capability. AutoCAD LT, which is close in capability, costs $390/year and includes both desktop and mobile apps for iOS. Although support was responsive before, our support requests have not been answered the last two times we've asked for help. The answer has been that they are unable to duplicate the issue we see. However, on our end, the bugs persist through iOS updates, app updates, and on multiple devices.

ArcSite Utilization
Very good. I pick up something new weekly.
Pros
Quick to learn. Love the duplicate project and layers.
Cons
Calibration tool should only recalibrate the current project.
Would like more tutorials on controlling the size of fonts and fillable spaces.
