What do you dislike about the product?
There is a single thing I don’t like, which is the feeling of slowness when it loads huge assemblies or files.Not all features are very intuitive, and it takes quite a while to understand all the options.The interface could be a little more modern, as some of the menus seem to be old-fashioned.If you don’t have the same version of the software, it can be difficult to collaborate with external users.At times, searching for files brings up too many results, and that can be quite annoying.It is not very comfortable to change certain components or settings because the customization is not very flexible.The documentation is good, but it doesn’t always present the most practical, real-world examples.Nonetheless, it still does the trick of design management way better than if you were to handle the files manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designcenter is the tool with which i can address the issue of large cad libraries which are most of the time difficult to manage in an efficient manner.
It was a very difficult task to search for parts or drawings among multiple folders and this task was also very time-consuming. Now I can organize and access everything very quickly, thus I am saved of hours of work weekly. Besides that, it is also Diminishing of Errors by keeping versions synchronized, thus I am not doing the mistake of using an article or component which is already out of date.
The feature which permits the designers to use the same parts speeds up the design process and also raises the level of agreement between different projects. The way of communication with colleagues has been simplified since everyone uses the same library. Another advantage, In fact, is the enhanced recording of the stages of the project - I always know which components are used where.
In summary, it is a tool that makes design work faster, more organized, and less stressful.

What do you dislike about the product?
The data management features are useful and essential, but they do introduce some friction. Occasionally, when I'm checking out a part, the process can be slow or even get locked up if another user is involved. It's clear that this is a database issue, but when I'm trying to complete a drawing quickly, these slowdowns become quite frustrating. I really wish the PDM aspect was faster and more seamless, though I understand that's often the trade off for having proper revision control.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main issue this software addresses is the struggle engineers face when changes are needed. For me, that's always been the most frustrating part, when a client requests a revision and the feature tree becomes a mess, especially with imported data or older models. That's when I feel like giving up. Solid Edge solves this with its synchronous technology. It really feels like having a magic button for editing. I can simply grab a face and move it as needed. Being able to work on files from any system is amazing. This capability is a game changer. I'm saving a significant amount of time on revisions, which helps me meet my deadlines. That's the biggest advantage for me.
