## Reviews

### "RZ SpecLink Review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *9 August 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

### "Great Product" — 4.0/5

> **Perry** | *24 June 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am delighted with the concept of exclusion and inclusion in specification writing. It makes the process very adaptable to other similar projects.
> 
> **Cons**: When I use typical symbols such as "\&," the software is confused and substitutes words that don't make sense.
> 
> I am satisfied with the software. I wish there were training videos for identifying what should be linked and how when writing new template specifications. Also, a training video that explains where all the specification details and assemblies originate and how they are connected to the product.

### "DR SpecLink Review" — 3.0/5

> **Dan** | *1 April 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most features fairly closely mimic MSWord which makes it simple to use.  Easy to remove sections and paragraphs from specs/documents.
> 
> **Cons**: Editor notes are difficult to recognize.  Not intuitive to be able to copy and paste Word content into SpecLink documents.  Printing documents could be more user friendly.
> 
> Overall good experience.  Most of the features are simple and easy to understand and use.  Easy to set up project documentation using SpecLink.

### "Longtime loyal subscriber" — 5.0/5

> **Jill** | *1 April 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using Speclink for the past 10 years and find it easy to use and easy to modify to meet my company's needs.  I appreciate the appropriately restrained level of detail in the content making it more user-friendly, the linking between parts and sections which reduces conflicts and ensures a higher level of coordination throughout our documents and formatting and printing features which greatly reduce time. It truly makes the documentation process more efficient, which allows us to spend our time on the things that matter - sharing our knowledge and contributing to a project's success.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish I could search the whole database for a specific product I've used before, that isn't in my master, but I want to find again. I also wish I could export directly into my project folder, rather than a download folder.
> 
> I've really enjoyed using Speclink and highly recommend it.  As an independent specifier, I've been asked to work in other programs from time to time based on a client's preferences, and those have only made me appreciate Speclink more. I also like that RIB will listen to feedback and are constantly working to make the program better.

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

> **David** | *27 May 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.
