a plesant CAD software that allowed me to accomplish what I needed
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI is very nice. I like how easily accessible basic features are. I had no trouble getting my object to taste and measure how I wanted. The color was nice too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a long time to render my projects when I am completed. I was hoping to get in and out in under a day, but it took the software a couple days to render my object.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't know what problems Solid Edge is solving. it is a CAD software similar to many others that I have used. I wouldn't say it goes above and beyond.
great but needs a little more polishing
What do you like best about the product?
it's very easy to use and implement as the first cad i learned was solid works.
once i got a crash and somehow custumer support was able to help me recover my work as i didnt save the last steps of my work. i was using it daily (monday to friday) for a period of 4 years.i liked pretty much that i could open up files from that were made in different programs, very good integration.

What do you dislike about the product?
the in-built CAM was slugg-ish, i mean that's ok as there is solidCAM for proffessional use.i liked the ui only 3 times in my period of use did i get an image glich.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
as we switched from solidworks to solid edge it was very intuitive and easy to use, very fast and easy on machine resource requirements. as i made the 3d models and starting simulating how will it perform in the necessary assembly under the load. and ocasionaly used to design something helping some friends by 3d printing some stuff. great for that too.
Solid Edge is Great, Highly Recommend
What do you like best about the product?
Love the drafting features in solid edge and the amount of customization to the UI is great. Being able to set up part families for commonly used parts/variants is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software gets slow when dealing with splines or complex parts (like with gears or splined shafts). Synchronous mode is also very finicky, if you're not careful you can do some damage to your model and be unable to get it back to a state that was clean
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid edge works great on simplified models which is helpful in getting less complex models made quickly. Its drafting features also help getting drawings made in a timely fashion.
Using Solid Edge to build our first prototype
What do you like best about the product?
the way it assemeble multiple component is just goodut gives a solide modeling and I like the way that allows parametric feature, also the wya it focus on Enginnering and manufacturing is different than any other CAD softwares
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I can say that I dislike about solid edge is that sometimes it craches due the high machine requirements, other than that everything looks good to me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helped realsing the design for multiple idea that the teams come with, with the sumulation, modelling and assemblng the multiple component, it makes the idea more to be achieved
Solid Edge metal sheet design
What do you like best about the product?
Well I started using Solid Edge because while designing a metal sheet part in Fusion 360, I hit a road block.
I wasn't able to add hemmings, dimples and all other features you would consider standard with Metal sheet design. Switching to Solid Edge gave me more control over that. It feels like a solid software for 3D design.
I still have to practice more to be more comfortable. But as someone who used SolidWorks before, it has this same feeling of being able to do much more than Fusion 360. On top of that it's free!
I think it's a great way to improve my 3D design experience and even perform physical tests without breaking the bank. Because as an Hobbyist/Entrepreneur, you don't always have the ability to spend 100s every month on a software just to test new designs.

What do you dislike about the product?
My issue with Solid Edge is being able to modify past actions. I MIGHT have missed that such a feature exists somewhere in the settings; because I know Fusion 360 and SolidWorks have such features.
But also, it might be slightly unstable and tends to crash. I do perform complex tasks on the software, and no software is perfect, but I believe there could be some improvement on that side of things.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Metal sheet design was the big reason for me to use Solid Edge. I am able to have much more control on my design. The built-in features are great and save a lot of my time. Also the included simulation is great, as it avoids using external software.
Synchronous technology
What do you like best about the product?
It makes modeling fast and flexible, combining the best of parametric and direct modeling. I use it regularly for 3D parts, assemblies, and technical drawings, and it handles everything smoothly. The interface is clean, the tools are powerful, and performance is great even on mid-range hardware. A reliable choice for serious engineering work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can mention the user interface can feel outdated, and the learning curve may be steep for beginners . Some menus are cluttered, and finding the right tools can take time for new users. The software is clearly designed for professionals, but beginners might find the workflow less intuitive at first
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over the past year, I’ve been working extensively with Solid Edge to bring product ideas to life — from early 3D concepts to final technical drawings ready for production.
What sets Solid Edge apart for me is its Synchronous Technology — it allows fast, flexible edits without breaking the model. This means I can respond to design changes quickly and keep projects moving forward, even under tight deadlines.

3D printing uses
What do you like best about the product?
As I am someone who doesn't use a lot of software. I wanted to make some small 3D printed knife stands for my house. I took the help of my son and learnt the software to make things on my own. The tools are very descriptive of its own. Which helped me to learn it quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find anything that I disliked about Solid Edge. The software is simple to use and great for first-time users as well. I found it a little difficult to integrate, but later on I managed it on my own
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me to learn something new and bring out a creative aspect in me. Empowering me to build stuff on my own and create customized things according to my need
I have used Solid Edge for my academic projects to design, assembly and renders
What do you like best about the product?
It has really good design workspace and is very efficient especially with renders and overall time taken to render. The assembly sections was quite seamless even with large assemblies
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be improved and made more user friendly. A lot of repetitive clicks could be made into a shortcut. The access of the software isn't readily available and it took a while to get used to the interface and software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The software is very efficient and smooth there is no crashes while designing and while assembling multiples parts it did not give any trouble and it was very responsive
Reliable and Powerful CAD Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Solid Edge makes both direct and parametric modeling easy to use. It’s fast, flexible, and the interface feels clean. I can handle large assemblies without much lag, and the built-in simulation tools save me time switching between software. It’s great for both quick edits and complex designs, and really supports everyday engineering tasks well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software feels a bit heavy, especially with bigger files — you need a good PC for smooth performance. Some features are hidden in menus and take time to get used to. Also, cloud sharing and real-time team collaboration tools could be better. But overall, the benefits easily outweigh these small issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solid Edge helps me design mechanical parts and assemblies faster with its synchronous modeling, which makes editing much easier. It reduces the time spent reworking models and improves design accuracy. The CAM integration also allows me to generate toolpaths directly from the models, saving time during manufacturing prep. Overall, it speeds up both design and production while reducing errors.
Used it for my academic projects
What do you like best about the product?
I found it easy to install on my PC. It also has a very user friendly interface. I used it for most of my computer aided engineering drawings and 3D modelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really didn't see any issues with Solid Edge. I thought it was great for a beginner by being self explanatory process which eased up the learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used in one of my final year project, It helped me develop the prototype by aiding in visualization and how different parts integrated to make the final product.
