Complete, always up to date, solid CAD solution
What do you like best about the product?
We use Onshape since 2016. The best feature is that it's immediately available on any PC, updated and ready to go. It's well designed and continuously improved. It's easy to share design and work together. Drawings are vastly improving: I feel lost when I switch back to Autocad. It's powerful and works on any hardware, forget the expensive and clumsy workstations of the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being cloud-based, it's totally dependant on your bandwidth but I've used it successfully even with a moblie phone connection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Onshape we started designing on day one without any significant upfront investment. The product gets better and better, its features are driven by the customers' requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it as we did in 2016 before applying for a subscription.
New way of managing projects
What do you like best about the product?
Possibility of exchanging information with us without having any 3D software installed and without using the endless series of emails
What do you dislike about the product?
A good modeling tool 3D that we’re sure will develop and mature in a short time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From December 2020 Onshape is an indispensable help for Faroplast in managing projects with our customers who in turn greatly appreciated the possibility of exchanging information
It was a big decision but a very good one, i'm glad we have choosen Onshape for our CAD Programme.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to log in to 3D Cad from any device, knowing you are always in the latest version, and working on the same model with other colleagues live.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial bringing work from previous CAD systems into Onshape. Having to restore the relationships, but the reward far exceeds the initial challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made our team more productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If changing from one CAD system to another, prepare for a bit of pain initially, but you will reap the rewards long-term.
Easy collaboration and is available at every workstation.
What do you like best about the product?
My files are available on every computer, even shared workstations. When volunteering for our local first robotics high school team, we were able to work together on projects even though we were unable to meet in person. And when they were having trouble they could not solve through words, I was able to create a fork with the built-in versioning systems, show them some possible solutions with my own hands, and then take that knowledge back to their branch and continue by themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have encountered a few bugs, mainly when exporting pdfs from drawings. I have been entirely out of luck when delivering paper prints to clients on a few occasions.
Also a few bugs when outputting DXFs, I have tried a few different programs and they all have the same problems with what is 'inside' and 'outside' even when it's on a single profile

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have years of experience using dozens of cad packages from all price points and using them for many different applications. Onshape's rapid development schedule and the feature script add-ons have mostly kept pace with my needs as they have arrizon.
The most significant benefit is a happy customer. And the ability to send them a link, which they can open on any machine they happen to be using and provide feedback throughout any project guarantees they will love the final product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For those used to other CAD softwares, there's a slight learning curve when it comes to the part studios and how you can have multiple parts in one 'document'. Additionally, if these parts from the studios are placed correctly in an assembly, you can drive assemblies with minor changes in part studios without the need to create tons of mates (that usually end up breaking.) This and feature scripts are my personal favorites.
I love it! Never going back to SW.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of work environment. Constant updates and new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being tied to WiFi when traveling. Spotty service really limits productivity. Would love to see improvements in iOS app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of onboarding due to simple layout and excellent tutorials. As I expand my designs, Onshape is there with a proper tool to follow through.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the differences between Onshape and SW workflows. It will save you a ton of time
Using Onsape has absolutely improved how our company develops and moves products to market
What do you like best about the product?
Being cloud-based, it's gives us the flexibility we need to work all across the country and across the globe. It allows us to easily share 3D models during meetings and communicate more effectively at all times concerning engineering information. Ease of use overall, and simplicity of the user interface specifically, make OnShape a win-win for companies and engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly nothing! In my experience, this is hands down the best thought-out CAD program available today. I sincerely appreciate all that had to come together to make this product what it is and plan on using it long into the future!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using OnShape has streamlined the communication and collaboration of our design team. Increased the speed of product development and also helped us to bring better quality products from concept to completion. Better data storage, retrieval, and project organization overall make it an effective software indeed
Onshape - Modern CAD
What do you like best about the product?
The Onshape team is innovative. They care about their paid and unpaid users.
Onshape is cloud-based and up to date. It is not simply a re-skin of some 1990's CAD package. I can access all of my documents live from almost any device. Because it is cloud-based, Onshape has made it easy to share and collaborate with other users and even non-users.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Onshape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I design furniture, tools, extreme sports equipment, and much more. Onshape allows me to create custom features that make unique design processes possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Onshape software and support are like no other. Try it, you will be supprised. Don't forget to check out the Onshape forums for some friendly help. https://forum.onshape.com/discussions
The best real-time collaborative mechanical CAD program out there!
What do you like best about the product?
You can collaborate with your teams in real-time, in the same workspaces, with the ability to comment and review directly within the workspaces. You can also easily branch a workspace to test out a variation without overwriting existing data, even if you want to merge only those changes later.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, honestly. Electrical wiring / piping features could probably be improved, but it's not something I use very often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time collaboration and tracking with our development teams. We can visualize problems / challenges and have reviews in real-time, directly in the workspaces. OnShape is cloud-based, so you can access it nearly anywhere and it doesn't take a big, powerful engineering laptop to run. I often show other engineers design details on my ipad or phone.
A great CAD system that reinvent the designing experience
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is an Online CAD system that actually works.
It's modern, frequently updated, and they have an excellent support team if needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm missing specific features with my basic license, but I'm guessing that it is by design :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best CAD tool I have ever used
Onshape is a great software in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
You can do anything that a convenctional software does, but using the benefits of working on a cloud environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Drafting still needs to improve. Also Onshape disconnections need to be reduced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster design with and team collaboration.
We can automate repetitive tasks with featurescripts.
