Autodesk makes excellent software for design and drafting in the architectural field. The AEC Collection is a perfect design and drafting bundle for everything an architect would need for day-to-day tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? It would be great if we could remove individual software components that come with the bundle to get a lower yearly subscription cost. For instance, our firm personally does not use 3DS Max, which alone is an expensive subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? The two main programs we use in the collection are Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. Our firm has been transitioning to use Revit solely for more projects as we've found that BIM modeling is instrumental in the design and schematic layout process of the project. Exporting the 3D model to other 3rd party rendering software such as Enscape and Twinmotion has been great to showcase the design to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BIM Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/15/2021 "Autodesk AEC Collection Review" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? All the software we require to model project is contained within a single package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? Would like to see an AEC Collection option to contain BIM 360 licensing combined rather than having to manage separate software licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection: The AEC Collection is simple to administer and use. Installation through the Autodesk.com portal is relatively simple especially when creating deployment files. I would, however, recommend that your software vendor has a deep knowledge base in their customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? Ever since Navisworks Manage has been combined into the AEC Collection, we are able to design, model and coordinate our projects. Design tools contained in the Revit platform have improved over time and are now providing more effective and efficient production levels. Navisworks Manage has proven to be a valuable tool to resolve many multidisciplinary coordination issues in a clear and graphically easy to understand method.

Autodesk has combined various tools to create AEC collection. The best part about this package it has Revit, Autocad and other applications at one place which can be used for variety of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? The price of the entire package is fairly high especially if you are running a small practice. Autodesk should work to reduce the price a bit lower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? The AEC collection can be used for the entire lifecycle of the building.

SR Steve R. National BIM/VDC Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/15/2020 "The Whole Package!!!" 5/5 What do you like best about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? After being in the Reseller channel many years ago, the main thing that the AEC Collection Solves is having access to all platforms without a huge overhead. This is pivotal for those clients that execute every aspect of a project but maybe only need a certain software 5% of the time. Clients were more inclined to not utilize certain tools because their frequency of use did not match the cost that was associated. This allows them to confidently access many tools in their toolkit while optimizing overhead costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? One of the downsides that I see to the AEC collection is that the Installations are still very large. This poses issues to those that are utilizing a number of the tools in the collection as it put a strain on the hardware requirements. Having more flexibility to virtualize the software and licenses would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection: If you are able to, evaluate what products are going to be used by each user or user group and optimize how you package your deployments from there. This will help the IT team immensely when a new hire is brought on board so that they are operational right out of the gate instead of waiting for the installs to happen. Also, you want to make sure that the users have access to the updates on a regular basis so that they are in line with the other team members and using the same build of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? The main problem that we are able to solve is being able to give access to a large toolkit for the teams to leverage in all aspects of the project. This allows us to train and execute more work internally which increases efficiency and productivity. Standardizing the platform that we are using as well instill in us confidence that we are going to see minimal to no information loss when passing files back and forth between all members of the team.

Water Technology specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/30/2019 "Almost everything you need in one subscription" 4/5 What do you like best about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? The collection gives us access to our most commonly used titles and having more seats than we might likely have if we purchased individually allows us to cross train designers to move from AutoCAD to revit or try out Infraworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? Some titles we could use are missing like a basic inventor for 3D content and I wish BIM360 was bundled with, or an option to save on BIM360 Design if we are AEC collection subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection: Provides a lot of licensing flexibility for less cost than 2 titles alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? Creating our water wastewater project designs. We are a full service firm so we do survey, architecture, mechanical, electrical and process design.

Special Projects Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/20/2019 "Comprehensive Suite of tools necessary for any Consulting Company in the Infrastructure Industry" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? One stop shop for all the applications needed to provide services to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? Price point and interactivity between applications. Efforts should be made for a universal database that all apps pull from so changes from one are reflected in the others, thus reducing re-work and keeping on budget for clients. This will allow for more deliverables, in shorter time for the same money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you? The AEC collections gives admins the ability to pick and choose what software is installed on an end user's computer.

Using Architecture is a simpler platform for me to use as opposed to Revit, the other software used in my office. There are always multiple ways to do each command, which helps customize the use for each user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection? I recently needed to insert 3D columns into a project, and the library was difficult to understand. I couldn't find square HSS tubes in the list, which was very confusing. I think the library for these items could be better organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection solving and how is that benefiting you?
