What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
It has all the features needed to design a 3D model within a compact interface. Integration with other products is easy in SOLIDWORKS and it supports various file format. Again the cloud based service is quite handy. Again SOLIDWORKS has plenty of tools so that there is no lack of options or way to design and simulate a product.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the easiness of this tool. I've learned design and simulation from the scratch using this software. Assembling, messing and running any short simulation is quite easy and accurate. Again products designed by SOLIDWORKS has the usability and acceptance everywhere in the world.
What do you dislike most about this product?
First of all this tool is quite costly. If anyone want to use different SOLIDWORKS products to integrate each other, he or she has to pay for each. It requires a lot of space and high hardware specifications. Crashes happen sometimes without any warning.🙂
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I think any beginners can start their designing career using this tool. It is handy, useful and after all, a big support.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
We make good designs for corporate clients and individual jobs, and the end product has always been of high quality. The software we had previously was a bit slow and we didn't have high performance like SolidWorks.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's inexpensive to purchase, it's easy to learn, and creating designs from scratch is a work of art as I spend little time and designs are accurate and effortless, using SolidWorks is highly professional.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Since using it, I have allowed myself to make good designs like a pro.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
There is no other software with these same capabilities on the market, not the same price, or as easy to learn as SolidWorks.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
