Dare to draw
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, funny to use (I am 62!). Efficient remote collaboration. Possibility to re-use other format. No need for a heavy duty computer etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data organisation a little bit to loose. It could be awkward for very big projects (not my case).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I may concretize my concepts by myself after years of slower delegation. In two words, beter and quicker products.
Well designed user interface. Fun to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Use Onshape for both business and personal use. Can use on any computer or mobile device anywhere with internet connection. Training and tutorials are top notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use some additional drawing tools in 2D drawing mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily use Onshape to create files for 3D printing of test fixture components as well as models and drawings for light fixtures. Adds great value in preparation of proposals for potential customers. Even used it to design my backyard deck.
Onshape - a great tool for design and engineering!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, and new updates comes rapidly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The surface modeling is not good enough just yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are developing the worlds first hydraulic hand prosthesis, and are using Onshape for advanced mechanical design and engineering.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Onshape is easy and intuitive to learn. But you need to change your mindset regards to the "branches", compared what you might be used to in Solidworks or other CAD tools.
The Future of Modeling is Here
What do you like best about the product?
Onshape provides outstanding support and is constantly improving and expanding capabilities. Capabilities were great when I started 18 months ago but much better now. The capabilities expand so fast there is always something new and better to learn about it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes loading models bogs down and it is quite easy to build a model that will load very slowly. We need tips on making things streamlined. The new "time required" info in the drawing window is a huge step forward. I would also prefer if Onshape staff would put a day or so into creating a better library of profiles for the "Beams" script. This would save me a bunch of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We constantly design new separation and processing equipment and systems. We couldn't work without Onshape. The ability to pull up earlier versions takes all the fear out of changing important drawings. It is so easy to build 2D drawings for part manufacture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started! you will love it.
Web based, clean sheet well thought out Cad software.
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Onshape on a daily basis and really like the web based nature. The sharing capability and the built in PDM work very well. I never had a crash and you always can go back into history and roll back if needed. The subscription price as of now is still reasonable for what you get. Well thought out releases of new features and funtionality every 3 or 4 weeks. Onshape seems to listen to their customers when it comes to needed features and funtionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a long time for Onshape to add CAM capabilities (still in Beta), ultimately designs need to be manufactured.
I have no problem paying for goods and services however subscription based software can become convoluted (terms & conditions) and costly if you were to grow a company and need more seats.
From what I read on the forum it still lags on some features for other specific industries, wire routing, sheet metal etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We design products and molds for themoforming and organic surfaces that are 3D printed. We were able to share designs in an efficient manner with our customers an vendors.
Good product for typical engineering design and great service
What do you like best about the product?
Configurations and other PDM features are top notch. The ability to link documents, and the use of release management can really improve workflows and productivity in design management
What do you dislike about the product?
Even after much requestes, and the fact that a significant section of the CAD community needs such tools for most design, Onshape still lacks good surface modeling tools. This has to be improved to make Onshape a worthy competitor to other modeling platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As we have a complicated Product structure with configured parts, use of Onshape and its powerful configurations and Release Management features has helped us to eliminate the lack of undertainity regarding the status and location of CAD files and not having to spend tens of thousand son a bulky PDM system to then solve that issue
Love this CAD!!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user friendly it is. It is very simple but powerful!
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't found anything yet. It is usually just figuring out how to do it...so it's more of a self training issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File and configuration management. Now we have on location that all our CAD data is stored and version controlled.
The future of intuitive design
What do you like best about the product?
Community centered development. Incredible customer service. The ability to work from a desktop and then walk out to a facility and take measurements and input them on my phone and then head back to my desk and continue where I left off. Very intuitive UI, no fishing through tons of menus and drop downs to get at the function I need. No saving! The power can go out in the middle of modeling and I never have to worry that anything has been lost.
What do you dislike about the product?
No ITAR compliant servers. I'm sure this hurdle has lots of moving parts but it really is the only thing holding my company back from being able to further implement Onshape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Huge time saver with how much faster I can intuitively model a specific part. Great to walk into a meeting room, login to Onshape and pull up and go over models on an overhead projector instead of bringing prints or USB drives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get it. Will work great on the worst computer you have. No more relying on expensive high powered workstations. Work on the same model/drawing from the office, home, the bathroom, anywhere without multiple installs and remembering to bring a USB drive with you everywhere. Always have the most current version without being charged for upgrades.
Future-proof
What do you like best about the product?
+ very easy to share access with my sales colleagues so they can show early designs with potential buyers
+ very easy to work from any workstation, anywhere
+ automatic updates, no download time
+excellent helpdesk that come with solutions and even improve the system based on users' input

What do you dislike about the product?
- I still have to get used a bit to the different approach of mating in assemblies, but I am getting there
- the absence of a basic render machine, it should be included in stead of searching and trying plug-ins
- I would very much like to be able to change the perspective when using the perspective view

Some Missing Options.
Sometimes work in Onshape is delayed or i could not load the whole page.
