Recommendations to others considering the product:
New generation of cad great for team work and comunication
already great and I can help making it better
What do you like best about the product?
The philosophy of being usefull and reducing the ammount of clicks is great. but even better is their support. If I get stuck or want a change, I can make a screenshot, annotate, and within a day I get advise on how to approach a problem or a workarround. And good ideas become an improvement request.
This way Onshape is on top of the practical details of how the tool is used.

What do you dislike about the product?
The document structure and version control can get messy. And big files might get slow. Especially on WiFi. But this is solved by structuring your work, or making a version and deleting all old files.
For my design practice the second method works best since I do not need to manage production versions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OnShape allows for more intuitive setup of models and more robust performance.
Especially the partstudio idea solved a lot of document management issues I had with SolidWorks. I can focus on my design and functions.
That OnShape is browser based is nothing then positive. Same or even better performance, and I get to show designs away from my desktop.

When switching, take the time to understand how Onshape is different from what you are used to. And get ready for some, "ow shit, this is great"
And use google with the phrase "how to do xxx in OnShape". You are guaranteed to get to an old forum thread discussing this problem.

Onshape was already COVID-crisis-proof
What do you like best about the product?
I can log in to Onshape anywhere, I can share ongoing designs with colleagues and partners anywhere in the world, even walk them through my designs in real-time. When the COVID crisis started I could continue working without any hassle, from home.
What do you dislike about the product?
The absence of a rendering module in the program. It does not have to be top class, but just basic functions that outperform making a screendump.
I hate it that I need to do rendering in another program or buy add-ons that. In my opinion, this should be included.
Also I keep missing the basic 3 planes in assemblies, it must be my Solid Works background, but I am still not completely confident in applying the correct mates. Why not include these planes?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I develop new products for our company and our partners. so I help to create the future.
Amazing cloud based 3D package
What do you like best about the product?
We used OnShape to do detailed 3D designs for our Electronic Controllers. Love the ability to be able to do complicated designs easily, and collaborate between users. Can also easily share designs with customers for them to view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to print different designs for sharing with users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Detailed designs of our electronics panels which we can then integrate with the 3D board design from other packages to get the whole product suite.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great cloud based design solution
This software is my daily driver. I've based my entire product development company around it.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI has been great for taking me from an absolute beginner to where I am today.
The Surfacing tools are second to none.
I really like that I can use scripting to integrate with other services.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could have it installed locally on my machine.
Needs more hotkey commands and the ability to customize hot keys.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do everything from industrial design and concepts to mechanical design and factory drawings. I've made a career with this software
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the trial and check it out yourself. It's like if Solidworks is a horse, Onshape is a Tesla.
Onshape review
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud based, part studios flow to dwgs and assems
What do you dislike about the product?
Some work flow paths are ambiguous especially drawings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is great.
Fast and Versatile Online 3D design tool
What do you like best about the product?
ability to access from anywhere and straighforward user interface. The version control and ability to work on multiple branches and merge is really powerful. The community FeatureScript library is fairly powerful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still missing support for some features, especially with drawings. These are being slowly added
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick designs and prototyping. Ability to make modifications to existing models and test those without huge effort. Our contract manufacturer also uses Onshape so those files are direclty shared with us, and we can collaborate on the same document.
Pump System Design
What do you like best about the product?
The speed of Onshape's mating features and configurations allows us to quickly edit our models.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rendering can be slow on some networks and occasionally we will get a degradation in performance with imported models (usually due to the models' complexity).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable pump system layouts. Configurations allow for quick and easy modifications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Whether you are new or experienced with 3D CAD software, I highly recommend using Onshape. Their tutorials are excellent and once you are familiar with the software, it is very fast and efficient.
Colaboration & Support
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is the perfect tool for collaboration, there is no other CAD product that comes anywhere near it, you can discuss product design with clients in real-time as you change it and you are both looking at the same model. The other great thing is the support, you get to speak with real people and there help sort out issues and the response time is great even though I am in a different time zone. This is not what happens with my other CAD products.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very hard to dislike anything about Onshape, with updates and improvements every three weeks there is always something positive happening. The only thing is I would like some of the requested improvements to happen sooner, but I get it that they need time to make sure the feature is good to go before releasing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape helps me get designs finished faster and to manufacturing faster as there is no delay in collaboration, there are no sending files out for review and then revising and then sending again, the whole process is so much faster. Also, I can have more than one person work on a project at the same time, even if they are in different locations, this makes for faster delivery as well.
Best product design software I’ve used
What do you like best about the product?
Great user interface, fast, easy to use with PDM built in. Customer feedback is taken seriously and acted upon. Being cloud based, collaboration and sharing is really easy and hardware requirements are kept to a minimum.
What do you dislike about the product?
ECAD to MCAD is poor. It has been left to third party apps, but I think should catered for by Onshape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use on Onshape to design products, tooling and special purpose equipment. It’s really easy to share designs with customers. There is no installation and I can use it on more or less any device anywhere. Even over a slow connection Onshape works well.
