What is Xactimate?

From the vendor website, they say:
Xactimate® is a software system for estimating the cost of repairs and reconstruction for residential and small commercial structures.
Rather than rehash what you can read there, I find it easier to answer some common questions I get:
Is Xactimate complicated? Oh, mercy me! It is a highly detailed program with a huge learning curve. It is not a simple program that you will learn to use this weekend.
Do you still want to learn? We offer a Restoration Crash Course that teaches you how to write estimates. In the course, we also talk about using Xactimate.
We’re taking sign ups for the next course right now!
Is Xactimate expensive? Yes, it is extremely expensive. While it can pay for itself with one successful claim, it is a very large upfront cost.
At the time of this writing, it was $255 per seat per month.
