A New Leader in Collaborative Design
What do you like best about the product?
The top-down paradigm is particularly innovative, allowing the design of multiple parts in the same document. The browser-based application allows much easier use and collaboration without requiring expensive hardware. In general, the speed at which I'm able to realize my design intent is much faster than with previous CAD platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes references and in-context design features require manual updates which may take a while. This downside can be minimized with a thoughtful file structure, but it takes a bit of practice before this becomes second nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mechanical design, build & integration, deployment & test.
Simple and efficient CAD tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is an efficient CAD tool, which is easy to use, comes with integrated PDM and brings the design collaboration to another level. It is location and computer system agnostic, provides unlimited cloud space, provides great collaboration functionality and is easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
2D drawings are slow and lacking good editing tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrated PDM, collaboration, easy to learn and implement.
Onshape CAD review as a casual Solidworks user
What do you like best about the product?
I find Onshape has a very intuitive interace and often does want I want without jumping through a lot of hoops.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have a full PDM system for Non-CAD documents, so it is difficult to addother file types with quotes, or other data for a project. Also the workflow, while easy to use is not as fully featured as some other products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cloud based nature is great for resource management and for shareing product designs with suppliers and partners in foriegn countries.
The gift that keeps on giving
What do you like best about the product?
Integrated PDM and low cost were originally compelling but the whole package just keeps on delivering. It's very easy and quick to use, even building old Solidworks files from scratch. Everything from fillets to licences, enterprise settings, drawing templates and release management are quick and intuitive. I really love that the whole history of a product can be embedded in one document and there is traceability between different concepts and revisions, especially when paired with 3D printing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Partially related but I wish Arena was a bit more usable as a medical device quality management system. If CAD, PDM, PLM and QMS were all on one intuitive platform then we would get a licence for pretty much everyone in the office.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure and intuitive data management. We can have multiple people working simultaneously on a product and have transparent access to all concepts and revision history.
Productive and acceccable everywhere anytime
What do you like best about the product?
No bother if I saved my work or not. It's there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Processing updates takes longer i expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to my history on work saves me time and file configuration management.
That's how CAD data management has to be done
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape's architecture specialises in creating dependencies and references between different components of an assembly. This makes a lot of sense, because in practice every assembly has parts that have to fit together. What is always complicated and time-consuming to plan with file-based systems can be done in no time at all with Onshape. As the data is consistently stored in the cloud single source of truth, the references are never lost.
Agile development with different variants and versions is child's play. A new version for an entire assembly, including drawings, is created in just a few seconds. Data is never lost and you can always go back to an old version. Onshape excels in the way it handles CAD data and can be seen as a prime example of the advantages of cloud applications, even outside of CAD applications (why doesn't MS Office work in the same way?). Did I already talk about updates? No need to worry about this anymore. All Onshape users are on the same page and data is always compatible for real time collaboration.
We users have adapted to deal with the problems of classic CAD data in the past. These days are over fortunately. Onshape impressively solves many of these pain points and shows a bright future for CAD work. This is just the beginning.

What do you dislike about the product?
Onshape now has a very good range of functions. However, certain detailed functions still lack the functionality required to keep up with the long-standing leaders in the CAD industry. However, with the many automatic updates, Onshape is quickly catching up and is also suitable for professional use in many areas of product development.
For many external partners who are not familiar with Onshape, online collaboration is still unfamiliar and they ask if I can send the data as an STP file by e-mail. This is not Onshape's fault, but it does take some patience and persuasion to realise the full potential of the cloud.

Agile versioning of different design iterations and variations.
Excellent way of managing geometric reference between parts.

A 21st century web-based CAD tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and best customer support which aids is quicker project implementation.
Can be used anywhere any number of times in various devices even on mobile phone devices with so many options.
Other CAD models can be easily imported into Onshape interface just like uploading files in folders.

What do you dislike about the product?
Assembly mate options can be improvised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple concepts can be created in a single document by branching and any changes can be restored using versioning options. Normal CAD softwares will take much effort to do these activities. Onshapes is very easy software that any level users can use with ease.
Personal Work Experience
What do you like best about the product?
1. I can access Onshape from any device that can connect to the internet. When I'm out, I don't have to carry a heavy computer; I just need to bring a phone or tablet to check or view my models at any time.
2. Modeling can be done with very high dimensional accuracy, which is important.
3. I only need to share a link with my colleagues instead of transferring a large number of various model files.
4. The assembly function is simple and easy to understand.
5. Any feedback is responded to and improved by the official team very quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Completely relies on the quality of the network connection, and as a Chinese user, the experience is slightly worse.
2. In my opinion, Onshape is still in its growth phase and has a lot of room for development. At this stage, it integrates many functions, aside from modeling and drawing functions. It also includes features like comments and task publishing, which might be very useful for team collaboration when designing complex models together, serving as a memo or work assignment instructions. However, for individual use, these features seem somewhat cumbersome. It's just that these features are not suitable for users like me who work alone, not that they are bad.
I hope there will be more optimization of the drawing functions in the future. In fact, I think it can refer to some existing software and user-written plugin tools. The official might overlook some aspects, but tools made by users themselves must arise from substantial usage needs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
He solved the problem of size accuracy for me. Adjustments can only be made by modifying the dimensions, which means there is almost no difference between my model and the actual product produced.
Additionally, it saved me a lot of time organizing files. :)

Essential cloud software that I use every day
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud computing means you don't have to worry about hardware or backing up your data. Before moving to Onshape I used other software for about 15 years and was content in my ignorance. Onshape makes creating drawings and models even easier and the way you can communicate these to your client/customer/collegues is seamless. Over the years I've reccommended the platform to many companies and home enthusiats and we all love using it. The onboarding courses are available to all making transferring really easy. My 12 year old has even done one of the courses to help her with 3D printing at school.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Onshape has grown its become more corporate and the personal touch isn't there anymore. Back in the day you were always talking to the same sales people and tech support people. The price of success but its only a minor thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a project manager who uses it for 3D GA drawings and communicating ideas to suppliers and stakeholders. The ability to go out into a factory with my laser, measure the area and add dims as I'm walking around saves me a lot of time.
A refreshing experience with CAD software
What do you like best about the product?
No powerful computing hardware is required, and great workflow and collaboration features with the ability to work in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes slow down based on network connectivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CAD collaboration with other team members and revision control. Onshape excels in tracking changes and given that people can work remotely, Onshape helps make collaboration quite seamless
