Onshape performance
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape configuration tool is the most powerful tool I ever saw and used. Onshape interface is user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Improvement needed in release management. Bulk release of configuration and use in top level assembly. Lite users like production and sales can configure the model and update the drawing on their on without a full user license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to struggle a lot with SW configuration, which takes a ample time to open a single file due to vast configiration list as our product are modular. But with Onshape we successful oversome that issue.
Onshape is a game changer for start-up engineering businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Often if you've used one CAD system, you've used them all but Onshape in a way changes that in a positive way. With the change in how data is managed makes it feels like there is more control of information while maintaining all the classic features of a CAD system any engineer would expect, it makes the software incredibly user friendly. The customer service and consistent improvement is invaluable and rarely seen with any other CAD offering.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has difficulty handling large assemblies which is the main reason I could see a business moving away from it as a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a start-up we didn't and don't have the funds to spend on expensive CAD software so it's allowing us to fully function as an engineering team. We don't have the space for servers and the cloud based platform really solves that problem (and is considerably better than other offerings on the market).
The Best Conceptualizing Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Designing on the fly in assemblies by editing in context is great and the aggressive versioning system really keeps things right without getting in the way.
* The real time collision detection is great.
* Being able to measure other parts in assemblies when editing in context speeds the process up hugely.
* Never needing to worry about backups and saving is a great release!
* The render package is nothing short of amazing.
* Adding comments to parts is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
* There is no native dark mode. I find the white workspace background very tiring when working on concepts. I have added a dark mode app to Chrome for now...but it's not great but is saving my eyes.
* The default of loading the 3D Way on start up is annoying to me.
* I can't find a way to create a new part when in an assembly.
* The datum planes not visible in assemblies?
* I changed to a wide screen monitor quite early on and circles were on screen as ovals. I was working on a part that had both so this caused huge confusion. This turned out to be a monitor setting and nothing to do with onshape...it did burn a load of time though.
* Why are threads on standard parts and threads created on surfaces not visible as helical cuts? I have added a third party add on to give me this.
* The simulation add on has left me baffled...but I will take training on this in the near future.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly at the moment I did not run in any problems using Onshape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with 3D printers, I often have to modify cad files in a Design for additive manufacturing logic. For this aim Onshape rapresent the perfect solutions.
A great tool that keeps improving
What do you like best about the product?
Its cloud bases systems are very good and its ability to support colabertive work. Overall it has everything most engineers need for solid modeling, sheet metal modelling, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Making drawings is the worst part by far. It is extremely laggy and has a delay for everything. It sucks spending 10 minutes making a part and 20 minutes creating a drawing. Overall its the biggest drag with the software. There are other issues with the drawings, such as not being able to make small movement that you would find in any other drawing software.
Its gotten better, but even after working with Onshape support it didnt improve. The issue stems from a large number of entities such no text which seem to slow it down.

We need to design parts in 3D. It lets us CAD in 3D
Onshape Digital Transformation
What do you like best about the product?
- Cloud-based allows for easy accessibility from anywhere on any device
- Real-time collaboration improves workflow and coordination
- Regular updates facilitate access to the latest capabilities

What do you dislike about the product?
One major downside is the lack of an offline mode that allows for syncing your work once an internet connection is re-established. With Onshape being solely cloud-based, any loss of internet means you cannot access your designs at all. There is no way to work offline and then sync the work back to the cloud after connecting. This limitation could be frustrating if you need to work in areas with unreliable connectivity and it interrupts your design workflow. Having an offline mode or basic functionality during internet disruptions would be an important improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With SolidWorks, keeping our server and desktop hardware updated to handle the intensive CAD software was an ongoing struggle. Additionally, not having a PDM made file mapping a continuous chore whenever local file locations and/or names changed. Our design workflow was also constrained by limited remote access due to network bottlenecks. Pack and Go was the only cumbersome alternative.
In contrast, Onshape's cloud-based solution eliminates hardware bottlenecks by providing access via any web browser. All modeling occurs in the cloud, instead of local resource-intensive installations. Additionally, Onshape's built-in data management provides seamless version control and location mapping. Finally, the anywhere accessibility of Onshape enables our team to work without restrictions. By leveraging the cloud, Onshape provides the performance, data management, and accessibility that our previous desktop solution lacked.

What do you like best about the product?
It is cloud based and very easy to learn. The keyboard shortcuts are amazing! I love being able to have assemblies and parts in the same file. The benefits of Onshape go on and on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of limitation compared to Solidworks, but they release new features regularly and are catching up so it's not really a drawback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape lets us design our parts and reference their dimensions.
Good for online CAD collaboration. Not so fast when it comes to loading large assemblies/documents.
What do you like best about the product?
Online collaboration and web-based is pretty cool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It gets slow for large assemblies/documents.

Perfect for startups
What do you like best about the product?
Always up to date, never crashes and allows the team to just focus on doing the best design work they can.
What do you dislike about the product?
No offline mode, but not a big problem in reality day to day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape solves our previous version control issues by getting everyone looking at the same single source of truth. This makes it much easier for managers to know what is in the product, and what's not. Being able to see where released parts are used immediately flags fixtures and assemblies that are impacted by design change. Above all, Onshape has a modern and responsive UI, unlike any other clunky traditional CAD/PDM I have used.
