Cloud based CAD, No data loss and User friendly

  • August 18, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Onshape self-paced learning - Helped me to understand product much better and shows a clear cut difference of Onshape with other System based CAD
Multiple part design in the single part studio
Onshape Assembly mating system
Being cloud-based CAD data is stored in Database which will prevent Data loss
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing of any sort, Even if there are issues. Customer reporting it and Onshape's every month build update will include and rectify the issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Modeling multiple parts in the single part studio helps to model accurately rather than looking into the reference parts in new tab.
Live collaborator Interaction about client and CAD model when needed helps to make changes on the go.

Great embedded CAD!!

What do you like best about the product?
The versioning is the best feature I think, if I want to roll back the design, I can easily find the version.
What do you dislike about the product?
- we have a lot of folders, insert the part many times for big assembly takes more time to find the folder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
versioning solve the main issue for me

What do you like best about the product?
collaboration, data management, editing imported CAD's, updates
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there are no advanced inbuilt BOM app or plug in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We design a lot of consumer products. Onshape is a 100% cloud-based CAD system. One of the biggest advantages of this is how good it is for collaboration - Onshape allows multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will not regret your decision to move to Onshape. I was one of the best business decisions I have made.

Cost efficient, HIghly performanance 3D-CAD Tool

  • August 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's light and fast enough to be designed using a portable laptop in a remote workplace. The maintenance cost is also resonable, so I am really satisfied with the price/performance ratio.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of native libraries needed by designers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a company that manufactures equipment for semiconductor/display FAB. From simple models to models with thousands of parts, various projects were designed using Onshape. There are some functions that are lacking compared to the existing installed CAD tool, but all the employees in charge of design work in our company are using it with satisfaction.

It's been a natural transition from SW to Onshape. Onshape offers some great innovations!

  • August 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Where do I start?

The change to working in the cloud has improved my workflow and allows multiple designers to collaborate and review our models. The computing requirements of my machine are minimised when compared with traditional CAD systems, and the transition between computers and mobile devices is seamless.

Using versions, branches and merging has allowed for rapid development and allows concurrent development of multiple designs.

Mate Connectors are an innovation that sets Onshape apart from the competition. They hugely simplify adding mates between parts and feel very natural after a few days of use.

Onshape's approach to designing parts inside of "part studios" is a logical way to create multiple parts that interact; sketches and dimensions can be shared between multiple parts inside of a part studio.

Finally, constant feature updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite offering many innovative features, some essential functions seem to be missing. For example, Onshape cannot calculate the Area Moment of Inertia of a cross-section/face, a fundamental part of structural design.

Occasionally Onshape can hang for several seconds when modifying large assemblies. This is not common, but when it happens, it can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is convenient to have licensing tied to login credentials and not to a particular users machine, this allows users to work from different places. Not being an installed software frees us from being tied to certain PCs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the fully featured free version before you purchase, and go to the "learning center" to learn how to utilise this software fully. The only limitation is that all of your models are available to the community, which is a fair compromise for access to such a powerful tool.

Easiest 3D Cad

  • August 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I liked most is the ease of use as a beginner in the 3D world.
What do you dislike about the product?
I could not export and use it in Solid Cam, but it operates fine in Mastercam.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process drawing that we use for production.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an excellent software since it's all on the cloud, and there is no special hardware required.

What do you like best about the product?
Browser based,, fairly, full-featured CAD system
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as responsive as a PC based application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No need for the latest high end workstation. Ability to travel with laptop or no computer at all.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a trade-off between the ease of implementation and the ultimate efficiency for power users

Modern Stable Powerful

What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is continually up to date. I can upload files of other formats with no problems. We have a seat of Solidworks from 2018 but can not use files sent by clients that are newer than 2018. We have to use Onshape to use Solidworks files.
With Onshape, we've had no issues with crashing lost work or lost data.
A cost vs. power comparison between Solidworks and Onshape - Onshape comes out on top. All the features we need for our design work are available in an attractive logical user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike has become a like. When I first started using Onshape, I found the way mates work to be confusing. The reason for this is because of coming from Solidworks, which is different. After learning how mates work in Onshape, I find it easy.
It has not been an issue yet, but if the Internet is not available, I'm expect that might become an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating concepts and even final designs for our small automation company is so much easier with Onshape. It is fast, user friendly, always up to date and is reasonably priced.

What do you like best about the product?
The support team is excellent, and the functionality grows every day
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain browsers do not work well with Onshape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mating is much easier, and working from any computer anywhere is a huge plus. Not having to have the program installed on your machine is awesome.
