Intuitive Design, Great for Collaboration
Reviewed on Jan 16, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Onshape because it's very intuitive for the most part, which makes creating new models much more efficient and enjoyable. I appreciate how parts of an assembly are created in the same space, which allows for faster changes and saves time. Instead of having a separate design tree for each part, Onshape lets me use one design tree shared across several parts. I also found that basic modeling was quick to learn within a few weeks, and becoming more proficient took about six months, even without direct training, thanks to the helpful Onshape support.
What do you dislike about the product?
3D Sketch is an area that needs more development. There are several 3D Sketch functions in Onshape, and a more refined approach would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape prevents crashing and losing work. It's intuitive and lets me efficiently create and modify models by sharing a single design tree for multiple parts, saving time and allowing for faster changes. It also saves time by updating itself every 3vweeks and because its cloud based, eliminates the need and cost for a server. Your 3D models can then be shared very easily with co workers or customers for quick and efficient review.

Great Browser based CAD
Reviewed on Dec 22, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It's browser based and can be used on almost any device that meets the requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides of Onshape is that it doesn't have an advanced rendering mode like Fusion 360.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Onshape to cad robots and robotics parts. Everything I cad is manufactured through cnc or 3d printing and I haven't had any problems with tolerances.

Easy-to-Use, Cloud-Based CAD for Teamwork
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It operates entirely within the browser, so I don't have to install any heavy software or be concerned about my system's performance. I can access it from any computer and pick up my work right where I left off. The interface is straightforward and user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who aren't CAD experts. I also appreciate how easy it is to implement and integrate. The customer support is very good, and it offers a solid range of features that make it suitable for frequent use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t really anything I dislike about Onshape, except for one issue: it relies entirely on an internet connection. If your connection is slow or unstable, the software’s performance also suffers, which can be quite frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape mainly solves the problems of software installation, file management, and collaboration in CAD design.

Seamless CAD Access Across Devices—No Bulky Laptop Needed
Reviewed on Nov 06, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Love that I can access it across all my devices. It works perfectly for someone who doesn't want to be carrying around a bulky windows gaming laptop just to run CAD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there seems to be a backlog in the cloud that causes the system to freeze up. I have had times (very rare) where my files are unavailable to me because they wouldn't load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to have expensive computers to run our CAD. Everyone can have their windows, mac, or android and use the software the same as everyone else.

CAD in the Cloud is Heavenly!
Reviewed on Aug 27, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The most powerful feature of Onshape is its foundation in the cloud. Traditional CAD systems are tied to a single machine, creating a tangle of files and version control issues. With Onshape, that complexity is gone. My entire design history, from initial sketches to final assemblies, is all stored in one central, secure location. This allows my team and me to work on the same model simultaneously and in real time, just like editing a document in Google Docs. The days of sending large files back and forth, losing track of revisions, or accidentally overwriting someone else's work are finally over.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was some way to work offline, even in a limited format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version Control Nightmares: It's difficult to keep track of different versions of a design, and easy to accidentally lose or overwrite a teammate's work. Poor Collaboration: Teams can't work on the same model at the same time, forcing a slow, sequential workflow where large files are sent back and forth. Data Management Complexity: The system creates a "tangle of files" that is difficult to manage and secure.
Onshape eliminates these problems by centralizing all design data and allowing for real-time, simultaneous collaboration.
