This software is relatively expensive solution to use as its more costly thus not suitable for small organization and I recommend the price of having it to be lowered so as to attract prospective customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has advanced features for urban designs which are cool and new every time you need to try something.

It offers timely reportings which ensure everyone involved is informed of all the going and can give ideas for changes. It also consumes less time compared to other ways.

It's not as cheap as it may appear since you need a lot of support from its vendors and also for re-licensing. There is also a need for upgrade in order to keep up with new features so you need to offer maintenance often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Possible to share multiple design alternatives with teams within our organization. Has a great customer support and it was of high standards during the implementation process and setup hence less time was consumed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy implementation and getting started. Clear visualization of 3D's after rendering. Modelling of 3D is what I like most about this tool. CityEngine has all the features necessary for designing. Their support team is very active and ready to assist. It also has the ability to import files from other apps like AutoCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far, maybe how it may run slow especially when trying to do rendering of mass projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CityEngine is a staggered application that can be utilized by both novices and advanced users. Beginners may appreciate its auto-generate scripts, but the software has much more to offer. That's why we are provided with high-quality free Training Materials, such as tutorial videos and project files. Of course, the help documentation system consists of 550 pages filled with detailed descriptions of every option along with numerous tutorials. Moreover, we can participate in a free personal online demo to see the program live in action and discuss how our production pipeline might benefit from it. There's also a forum where we can exchange experiences with other users or simply ask for advice in case of any issues with CityEngine. I would also like to mention that Procedural's team contacts their clients via email to inquire about the program's evaluation so far. They will answer any question and consider developing software according to the client's needs. Unlike mice limited to movement on one plane, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice allow game professionals to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using six degrees of freedom sensor technology. By gently lifting, pressing, and turning the 3Dconnexion 3D mouse controller top, game developers working in CityEngine can navigate and review 3D cities in a natural and intuitive way.

One of the main disadvantages is that the support doesn't speak Spanish or French, so if you have a problem, you must communicate with them in English. CGA content isn't particularly hard to analyze and get running, but sometimes I wish there were more toolbars and built-in commands to make it work. Someone completely without coding knowledge or understanding would likely have a difficult time. Also, as expected, it uses a lot of the computer's resources to run. This is a significant disadvantage because not all my employees have a new computer with fast RAM Memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
