Perfect tool for CAD
Likeliness to Recommend
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

SolidWorks is the perfect one for us
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
We have worked as a team, because we are connected in the cloud, all the designs we have made have been approved by our superiors without problems, since we dedicate time to structural analysis to know if a part will work, each function that SolidWorks has. it is because it is necessary and will require it at some point in your design. Other software doesn't meet our expectations, so it doesn't work for us like SolidWorks does.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Designing is perfectly fast, because this software allows me to make any type of design, I can export other designs and edit them if that is what I want, also I can always be connected through the cloud, at first we had doubts if the design of the pieces they would work, but we used structural analysis and the doubts are gone.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I would like to use it on Linux, but for now it is not possible.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I didn't think SolidWorks would be necessary for us, but by using it and discovering most of the features we knew it was the ideal software for us.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing

Good results with SolidWorks

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?
Less margin of error, realistic pieces designs, good results in 3D printing and the CAD tool is very functional as we expected, there are many similar software, but none is like that.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The user interface is very complex, but very easy to use, I like the quality of the designs that I can do, and knowing that the 3D prints will be as I designed them.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We tried to make large designs and SolidWorks did not work as expected because the software slowed down a bit.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
You should know that SolidWorks is very good for companies that are starting, because it is very easy to learn, it is very economical and it has good results if you know how to get the most out of SolidWorks.
