What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
Good ePDM environment; Easy rendering;
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Easy 3D model to 2D drawing transition; broad rendering options;
What do you dislike most about this product?
unique file format excluding integration; hard to manage STP files; link created between files - I do not understand references between copied files;
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Nice software for 3D modeling. Very intuitive. Unfortunately, does not seem to be the most popular in many markets (including India), so it is quite a challenge to find specialists experienced in this software. I would consider it a good solution if you are the designer and create your own models - otherwise, if you work with the customers' data, the integration is pretty tough.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
Cons
- Commodity Features
- Slower Product Innovation
