"ARES Commander"

5/5

What do you like best about Ares Commander?

If you have ever used the other major CAD platform you will be right at home using ARES Commander. I have been 100% satisfied with the performance and ease of use. The major plus is one can actually own the application vs. paying for a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ares Commander solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do 2D simple drawings used in designing conceptual layouts in the material handling industry. Most of my customers are not versed in CAD so I typically just send them a PDF of the layout.

"Stable and well design---Ares Commander is a great product"

5/5

What do you like best about Ares Commander?

I love the program overall, the layout and options rival other products in the same category if not exceeding them. It's a very stable product with all the features that one would expect from a cad program along with some that you would not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ares Commander?

Overall I have very few issues with Ares, it's a good program with great support. I guess I would like more customization of colors in the user interface settings rather than just light and dark. I use certain buttons often and changing the color of them might be helpful for locating them quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ares Commander:

It's a good program that is in line with other programs of it's type........easy to learn and very little retraining time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ares Commander solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my small business its a great savings over the other programs that are available. This is important since I also use another product that's very costly, having a good cad program to deal with basic cad drawings has proved invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
