Almost a real good CAD software with really cool ideas
What do you like best about the product?
The way I can share a project with other people the order of proyects, parts and assemblies.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I already made a project and the staff of Onshape add new things that affect my projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control of the projects of clients and it's pretty cool that I can work from others computers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a really good software for learn AND start a business
Onshape is a great SAAS CAD solution.
What do you like best about the product?
We value their integration of file management with design software and the great collaboration tools prove very useful. The clean design and many functions such as their mating process are improvements over other soft used previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are still a developing service and lack some of the functionality of more established software. Many features such as simulation or DWG/DXF editing come through third party applications which integrate with Onshape. However, most of these work fairly well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having their technical support has been amazing, allowing us to focus on design. The integrated file management which allows version and revision control works great for service records as well as tracking a design process which was much more challenging with multiple copies of each file based on save dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check it out.
Great solution for a modern CAD platform in a collaborative team environment
What do you like best about the product?
Greatest customer support and tutorials!
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of an offline solutions (airplane use)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Onshape for injection molded and CNC machined part designs. Great platform. Easy to use. Incredible customer support & tutorials. Really like that we can log in from anywhere without having to checkout licenses. Incredibly flexible.
OnShape is the one

What do you dislike about the product?
I find the way to make BOMs complex. Why not start an automatic BOM using part names.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OnShape for making conceptual designs of equipment or plant, for:
Discussing best solutions
Checking weights, costs
Presenting results
Sharing STP files
I don’t know how to do this without OnShape.
I do not use it yet for production drawings.
Apart from business use, I also use it privately for home renovations, interior design, custom-made furniture.

If you are working with a team that is all over the place in location and time, OnShape is the way to keep everyone on the same page. No stress.
How CAD was meant to be
What do you like best about the product?
1. Version control: allows quick, painless workflows for testing new ideas and keeping track of old designs
2. Cloud-based: I recently found myself in the field and needing to check a design. Luckily I had my phone---and so was able to pull up our CAD directly in the Onshape app. There's also no hassle with changing between computers, operating systems, working from home, etc.
3. Support Team: they're fast and effective. In the event that the issue stems from a software bug, they can make the fix directly and get your document back up and running.
4. Intuitive: My company used to use a different CAD system. I occasionally open it up to run a quick simulation.....and a few hairs turn gray every time. No software is perfect, but Onshape usually just makes sense.
5. Frequent feature updates: approximately every 3 weeks new features are released. There's no upgrade hassle...this happens in the background. Updates are actually a joy (the new features feel like Christmas!), instead of a pain.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Lack of affordable simulation tools (compared to Autodesk Suite): we still have to use our old software for this functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Onshape to design our micro wind turbine and to configure our solar roof installation. The FeatureScript functionality (ability to write custom features....like "Extrude" or "Revolve", but customized) allowed us to create a tool which semi-automatically configures and fits our modular system to a given roof.
Maturing but still exciting
What do you like best about the product?
The built-in version control system is incredible - infinite undo, branching, release control & graphical version comparison. They really do have a philosophy of building the best tools that they can conceive of, not just cloning the functionality from other systems. The version control, configuration system, exploded views and support are primary examples of this.
The support system is one of the best of any product or service I have used either professionally or personally. They actually always respond, promptly. They are also helpful, willing to address individual design issues as well as actual bugs - eg 'I want to achieve a feature something like this, but can't work out the best approach to achieve it with your tools, help'.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that are still weak or missing but these are now reduced to irritations rather than problems. For me, personally, I would like more manual / freehand tools within drawings. The entry to use is low as the system requirements are minimal, there is still a free plan available for casual public use, and the UI is intuitive. However, the radial architecture of the system and the willingness to produce unique tools and approaches mean that using Onshape to the best advantage does require training/experience/support. Fortunately this is all freely available, and of good quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape is our primary mechanical CAD system. We moved away from SolidWorks several years ago in order to break the painful hardware / version upgrade cycle and because we didn't like the way that, as a small company, SolidWorks' VAR treated us. When we started actively looking at the CAD market, we soon realised how bloated and stagnant our legacy CAD had become. Onshape was a revelation for us. The freedom to run anywhere, on any system (as long as you have a good internet connection) has been immense - not only from an IT management perspective but also opening up new use. We've also been able to give free read only access to our design interfaces on our own website to support our customers.
Onshape has grown a lot since we first stated using it, there are automatic updates every three weeks and it's always great to see new tools and toys become available.

The most powerful feature is cloud based. I can worl from everywhere, forget about file magement and have full integration of different components.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool has been updated through the years and has always cover any small weakness it could have. Also the Support is incredible. You always have a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have the versions very well controlled and I have forget about save the files and take care of the archives.

Mate tools for positionning features on assembly .
What do you dislike about the product?
i dislike nothing, just we need to get an external ap for rendering .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
integrated external 3D board design with altium in a box.
Critical Resource for our Company
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful system to implement without requiring expensive computer resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking some of the power resources like automatic pipe routing. The standard insert parts in the assembly plane should include standard pipe fittings. Also, It does not calculate cross sectional moments of inertia. Mass moments are important, but not the only needed geometric information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am designing powerful water treatment equipment used in a wide spectrum of industry from Oil & Gas Production to Municipal Wastewater. As a hobby, I use OnShape to design and plan my racing sailboat, for home construction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For most solid modeling applications, I solidly recommend OnShape. It is a complete package for the design and production of real products.
Excellent CAD interface for all user types from hobbyist to professional.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the most the strong user feedback and support.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is always room for improved features. Some examples would be a flattening tool for plat patterns or the ability to integrate management tools like zoom, powerpoint, or google apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use onshape to create models for prototype and manufacturing. I am especially impressed with the drawing and BOM tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch a couple of the tutorials, try the free version, make something, and share it with others. It pretty much sells itself.
