Why these application functions haven't been replicated, bundled or bought out into Revit itself astounds me. They simply transform the process of using Revit from a data perspective entirely into one that is 100% more automated, feasible and enjoyable.

Any company that has the desire and appetite for efficiency with pay off the cost of the applications in no time, and they offer some great network lisence solutions as well so that users can access the applications at different times across many machines. At most firms when the lisences cap out I simply just wait for one to free up - it's impossible to bring myself to do workflows without these tools sometimes!

Ideate's suite of tools is indispensable at our firm. There are so many tasks that are made more efficient, and many tasks that would just be flat out impossible without these tools. Ideate does a fantastic job at listening to their customers and they implement suggestions and feature requests quite rapidly. I have been using their products for more than 6 years and highly recommend all of them.

The Ideate suite of tools are one of very few tools I've come across for Revit that do excactly what they're supposed to, without spamming your toolbars with useless gizmos.

Some of the simpliste tools like Explorer are real game changers in how it lets you interact with models.

I use, and love, every one of the Ideate tools, and teach my teams about their usage also. Highly reccomended.

I recommend every firm within AECO that uses Revit to invest in the Ideate Software Bundle.  Not only does the software make Revit users more efficient within the program, allowing for advanced communication with Revit itself, it also has a user interface that is second to none.  All Ideate applications are essential for every Revit user to be able to utilize on a daily basis - BIMLink for interaction with Revit data through Excel, Sticky to bring in static Excel data to a Revit sheet, Explorer to analyze the model in an advanced way, etc.
