Excellent value for impressive capability (and it's a pleasure to use!)
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape has been invaluable for my freelance industrial design business since I made the switch a few years ago. I work with a variety of clients in many different categories from consumer electronics, medical, and toy and Onshape makes collaboration a seamless experience. Prior to Onshape I used Solidworks which felt institutionally bloated and Fusion 360 which always felt cobbled together. I really appreciate the plug-in with Keyshot and being able to rapidly update design variants has been incredibly useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ongoing annual subscription pricing is constantly hanging over my head when renewal comes around. Having said that, of the subscription CAD modeling packages I've tried I believe it to be one of the best values around. The base license of F360 is more affordable but it's a wash once you start adding their additional plug-in packages (which you admittedly may or may not need). I do wish they had a month to month option or at the very least spread the cost of the annual subscription across monthly payments as you can with Adobe products, would really help with cashflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape makes powerful CAD modeling tools accessible from anywhere with an internet connection (even a laptop tethered to a cellular connection!) As a freelance industrial designer I collaborate frequently with users outside of my company and Onshape makes the experience intuitive to anyone familiar working with Google Docs. They're also constantly churning out improvements every few weeks and listen very closely to their users.
Onshape User friendly
What do you like best about the product?
User freindly Easy to Use. compared to other cad softwares it's more affortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Onshape this far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sheet metal and Tubes, we need a good cad software to help us with this and Onshape gets us what we need and more. prouctivity is a lot better since we use it.
Enjoying the experience so far
What do you like best about the product?
The cloud based collaborative design is really appreciated and the ease of use of the PDM-like structure is also nice to have. I also like the ease to share a document with non-cad users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some advanced functions are missing when compared to Solidworks. The fact that the platform is not as vastly used like other CAD platform makes it a barrier when reaching out to potential collaborators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to create a vault or server to share the drawings is of huge help and hopping a new user is really fast and easy. Having the PDM-like functionnality also help to share the drawings.
Onshape is a great web based CAD.
What do you like best about the product?
Web based so your computer doesn't crash and therefore your work is always saved. It has a lot of basic features however I'm told the more advanced features aren't as good as those within Solidworks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to always update other studios for the assembly to be current. I understand this is intentional but perhaps there could be a setting that the subcomponents always update so you don't have to manually go through and update to current.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to model products and designs.
OnShape: Solidworks, but it actually works.
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature is the simple fact that it works. Doesn't crash, doesn't runaway-undo your whole feature tree, doesn't corrupt your saved Part files... That's fairly important for a professional grade software. Solidworks doesn't come close.
Secondly, the easy access to the team for any bug reporting or feature requests. Also important for a professional grade software. Again, Solidworks doesn't come close. Dassault's VAR model is basically used car dealers but for software. Vultures, with absolutely zero added value.

What do you dislike about the product?
Complex part studios can be slow at times; not just rebuilds but simply making new features. Especially with a tempermental internet connection. There have been a few instances where we've had to halt and move onto other non-CAD tasks for a few hours and return later.
Surfacing tools still have some large gaps in some cases, though the gap to other tools is closing fast (thank you!).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an industrial design firm, good CAD is essential to our process and our clients' success. OnShape allows us to work from anywhere, at any time, without juggling files or maintaining a restrictive local network to store everything. We can work remotely with no additional planning or logistics.
Mostly, though, it just works. Unlike Solidworks (I sense a theme building...)

Excellent software for machine design
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive and builds off of previously established general practiced. I love that it is a general hub for all form of documentation as well. I prefer it over Solidworks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software can be a little buggy and glitch, you kind of have to problem solve your way through it and sometimes there is not clear reason why a process didn't work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has a lot of built in features that support technical writing, design drawings, and transformations of subassemblies that have been very helpful while writing documentation as well as communications between engineers.
The very best CAD system in the world today!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to undo/redo almost anything, use it anywhere in the world, powerful and intuitive functionality, all-in-one CAD package.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike I have is the error messages don't help you solve your actual problem or give enough information about what's wrong with the thing you're trying to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape gives me total flexibility where and when I work. It gives me the solution to challenging of creating complex radii forms, which are critical to our products.
Onshape, the future of CAD/CAM and all things mechanical design
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is cloud based; I can instantly share designs with customers, collaborate with offsite engineers and build complicated models quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some days/times when the updates slow down, usually network related.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OnShape is combining the necessary elements to do a complete design in one package; Sketch, Model, FEA, 3D print.
Onshape has pulled me out of many holes.
What do you like best about the product?
Accessable anywhere, intuative and easy to use there's not a lot not to like.
What do you dislike about the product?
Onshape currently lacks some niche features that may be useful in larger industries and are accessible in other CAD softwares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape has helped me quickly design and implement solutions to business critical problems.
Quick and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Even though I am used to Fusion 360, Onshape was quick to learn and had many of the great tools fusion 360 offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of Onshape I experienced is the need for internet while you use it, other than that, Onshape is great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multipart projects, Onshape's "Part studio" is a big helper with projects that have lot's of parts
