"Autodesk Vault"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Vault?

Autodesk Vault is a great tool we use for collaborating with all our R&D departments across several location. Autodesk Vault is quite easy to use for end users, and it brings a big added value for our organization. In real-time the R&D stuff is able to share their drawings around the globe and to edit/upload/delete.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Vault?

As administrator, the setup at the beginning was quite hard. It needed a stable infrastructure in order to deploy the server and database in the cloud. It took about one year to finish the deployment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for managing files and keeping track of file history"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Vault?

Easy to use and keep track of files. I can see what team members are working on and have checked out so we aren't altering files at the same time. You can see the history of a file, a part or a drawing and go back to a previous version as well as make a copy of a design. Works well with Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Mechanical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Vault?

It crashes fairly often but also sometime files do not check out properly or cannot check in properly. Sometimes when trying to get or check out a file it will tell me the software is busy. I'm not sure if these are problems within the software of our particular installation with our server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Version control and other SharePoint-like file management functionality for design files is my favorite feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup and configuration is difficult, but worse is the process of updating. Keeping all of the desktop clients, the servers, and the connected systems all working together is the hardest part. Plan to staff a person to manage the overall system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
