ONSHAPE: Designed for Cloud Collaboration

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Onshape is highly integrated with the cloud and the opportunities for real design collaboration. It makes it possible for small teams to do big things. It eliminates the admin overhead that burden many deign teams. It is ground-up designed thus it does not have legacy issues hindering it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there's anything I dislike. What I do find challenging is my own and my team's need to make the paradigm shift from the workflows we're used to in legacy file-based systems to Onshape's fundamentally difference approach.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time collaboration at an affordable price. I see a big benefit of credibility building with customers who we can allow a window into the current progress of their projects. Also, I can quickly scale my team to meet project demands using highly skill people from anywhere in the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start slowly and incrementally. Understand how Onshape can interface with other solftware.

Modern, powerful, intuitive and PLM built-in!

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The innovation that I most appreciate is ability to work simultaneously on documents. This means, there is no more "write access" or "check-in/check-out" to manage. This feature alone changed the whole way we work: people work directly in the live CAD instead of making local copies, working on their own for a while (days, weeks?) and then merging back their work to the main CAD (with all the hassle & surprise that this process represent). The CAD is always up-to-date!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd say that routing has to be improved. To depend on internet for CAD is somewhat of a downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CAD management is much better that before (revisions, up-to-date issues, sharing with collegues/suppliers, etc.). People can now work from the floor plant, form their home or at a supplier's office. Also, we see a reduction in cost (laptops VS CAD PCs, no PDM servers to implement, etc.).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best advice I can give you is to dedicate someone in your company to test Onshape full-time and share his experience with the other CAD users. You'll be amazed.

A Powerful Solution For Small and Startup Companies

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OnShape, provides much of the power of SolidWorks and other packages, in an affordable platform that also allows for remote access, collaboration, customer interfacing and marketing.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some characteristics to be mindful of. For instance, performance is very dependant on file (document) organization. But once you understand that, it is performs quite well. Also, revision control could be more intuitive, but it is functional. Most issues I have encountered have been immediately resolved by support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape is very cost effective and has allowed us to design and document on the level of a large company, with a handful of people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product is ever evolving and improving and provides excellent engineering and design capability to small and even large companies. It also had add on applications for graphics, FEA, etc. , giving the customer a big bang for their dollar.

What do you like best about the product?
It was an easy transition from Solidworks. The cloud based approach gives flexibility and collaboration becomes far simpler. Onshape has allowed themselves to take a fresh approach to many modeling tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Onshape is still young so its missing certain functionality. For our designs, the surface modeling tools still need improvement. We are also strong believers in "shown dimensions" being carried into drawings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At this point, the only hard benefit is that it is more cost effective than Solidworks. There are many soft benefits, like collaboration, that are much harder to quantify.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
give it a hard look. We cannot take advantage of some of what they do extremely well (integrated PDM functionality) that may make this a slam dunk for some companies. For us, the collaboration tools are the key improvement over Solidworks. They are improving the product at a rapid pace

Secure, easy to use CAD software with first-class collaborative processes

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Onshape is accessible from any device with an internet connection. Serious work can be accomplished with a tablet device. A work station is not required. Meaningful work can be accomplished anywhere an internet connection is available.
2. Collaborative environment in which everyone sees the same document and operates within the same software environment.
3. The model release system and means to provide viewing access to the model.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing to dislike. I don't know what to add here. Perhaps something will come up in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are engaged in a rapid development cycle with a number of vendors and collaborators. Onshape offers a seamless process to accomplish this. All members see the same document with privileges that are easily administered. Access is also easily terminated which greatly assists in preserving Intellectual Property integrity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Moving to Onshape is pretty easy. A good start is to upload your current assembly drawing. Onshape will interpret just about any common CAD model.

What do you like best about the product?
Web based software u are always using latest version with newest functions. Integrating it to web sites and document linking, you can show in mobile the part to customer or send link for review. Also you can use great add-ons and paying only use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing about professional to small business owner like myself and co-founder. We paying two licenses annually. Usage is mostly with only one account. And sometimes importing DXFs is hard, because space is not enough, but problem is not with Onshape, problem is with original DXF-file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can do better modelling and fast with Onshape, even our parts are mostly simple. Also it gives us more possibilities for the future. Because we are more in innovative business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it first and and the Onshape will speak by itself, easy to use and getting better and better after every release. You like it or not. Only problem comes in situation if you need 3D CAD offline.

Underrated Business Advantage

  • January 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Cloud Based
Advanced 3D modeling web application
Unlimited Storage
Access Anywhere, anytime
Mobile Friendly
Superb internal and external collaboration tool
App integration
Supports Open Source community
Great customer service
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of the 3D party vendor to manage .DWG drawings, which is not very reliable. I prefer Onshape to support .DWG files and make it editable within Onshape capabilities rather using an app.

There is a slight delay in response when handling big assembly files or drawings, which can be irritating.


What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onshape is very easy to use, so we are improving our design capabilities. It is much easier to collaborate and communicate with other designers, engineers and clients and follow progress. Overall, OTD has improved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great CAD tool for startups and businesses who are ready to adapt to cloud based technology.

Onshape - Cost efficient, powerful CAD

  • January 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With a cloud interface, I can now do CAD work from any internet connected laptop, not just the high powered work stations. Reviewing teammates designs is quick and easy. Branching allows multiple concepts to be investigated in one document.
What do you dislike about the product?
No offline version (for obvious reasons) and no "private" folder for personal projects. Drawings could still use some development. Not enough people use it yet, making hiring more difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to share quickly allows for efficient collaboration with other companies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a learning curve, but it can be mastered in time. Be deliberate about your organization in OnShape or things become messy quick

The Future of CAD

  • December 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that Onshape essentially took CAD (Computer Aided Design) and turned it into an online platform. I can work on designs from any computer and from anywhere. I no longer need a specific high power computer for a certain CAD program.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike like that Onshape does not quite have as many features as traditional CAD like Solidworks. For example, Onshape has pretty limited simulations and stress testing features for designed parts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem of sharing designs with customers and manufacturers. They can quickly view a part and download if needed. No more giant files sent through email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend switching from traditional CAD. No more crashes and having to use certain computers.
