## Reviews

### "Speclink review" — 4.0/5

> **Mark** | *May 27, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to sign in and start operating. Easy screens. What more can I say other than it’s a software to help. Easy to get info.
> 
> **Cons**: Confusing when you first start the program. Once you start to use it gets easier to use. Could be a bit user friendly.
> 
> It’s been a challenge but it’s a good program. Once you use it frequently. Once you start learning the software it gets easier.

### "SpecLink has improved the quality of my specifications." — 5.0/5

> **David** | *May 27, 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easily mastered for spec writing. Makes writing specs faster, leaner and more consistent. The links within is brilliant. Also, it makes the updating of reference standards extremely simple.
> 
> **Cons**: The spell check is on a section by section basis and the default is off. One must remember to turn this on for each section.
> 
> As a former Word user, SpecLink is far, far better. I would not go back.  I can write specs more efficiently. I can spend more time developing quality specifications than I would in Word having to deal with formatting and headers and footers. SpecLink does that in one simple step. Plus nothing is 'lost' as it would be in Word if something is deleted. The turn-on, turn-off keeps everything in the spec always.

### "Great start and potential for new projects" — 4.0/5

> **Bruce** | *June 24, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Availability of up-to-date specs that can be coordinated with all disciplines.  Edits that can be undone if the specs are used for other projects when some aspects not applicable to one project are applicable on another.  We typically do a lot of copy/paste between similar projects and this can be invaluable.
> 
> **Cons**: I am not sure if it is a permissions issues but some specifications are not accessible for use with a project.  Additionally, if you are working in more specialized projects, not all applicable specifications are available.  For example, specification that cover piping for particular gas systems (hydrogen).
> 
> I have been able to go through the SpecLink from a training aspect but have not yet been able to implement it in a project due to limited accessibility.  I am looking forward to having a one stop spot for accessing up to date specs rather than searching through our folders for older specs that are not fully updated (codes and standards).  Still working though it.

### "Lets Design A Better Future" — 5.0/5

> **Julian** | *August 7, 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it's interactive interface and world of possibilities it provides.
> 
> **Cons**: that the session ended
> 
> it's a game changer, especially for manufacturers needing to update product specifications for live projects being worked on with architects/designers.

### "RZ SpecLink Review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 9, 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud-based, auto-updates and less editing
> 
> **Cons**: Not the most user friendly and time-consuming
> 
> It is certainly an upgrade over the traditional word documents
