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 ----- ### "New User Review" — 5.0/5 > **Morali** | *23 June 2026* | Construction | 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 | 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 **Cons**: The interface feels outdated and overly complicated, which impacts usability.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 ----- ### "“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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/126567/candy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
