Bild Pricing Overview

Bild provides a variety of tools that have been extremely helpful to our team. For example, the 'Check-in/out' feature has been straightforward to use and has simplified issues that we had when it came to overriding others' work. Additionally, it was extremely easy to implement with our Computer Aided Design software, SOLIDWORKS. Bild has become a fundamental part of our team's design process whether it be for sharing or collaborating on work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to the downsides of Bild, only one comes to mind, and although it is not an issue, I would greatly appreciate it if the web and desktop applications were made more consistent with one another. An example of this is that contrary to the downloaded application, the web version of Bild allows for the display of uploaded parts without having to download them. Otherwise Bild has been amazing to our team and has helped us in ways that we cannot count. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Quick startup and integration once licenses are purchased (under 20 minutes from receiving licenses to having our first collaborators and parts in our system)

- Native Solidworks support, support for a variety of different file types outside of .sldprt and .sldasm

- Easy profile (Lib Feat Part) organization through Design Library, which allows for consistent profiles across different projects. Design library has also allowed us to reduce the variety of hardware on our vehicles as the organization and access to this is easier than ever.

- Seamless user permissions control - allows for various access levels and pre-made profiles for general users.

- Folder templates keep consistent descriptions, cost, supplier, and check-out staus easy top-down organization.

- The check-out system and revision tracking are intuitive and easy for admins to control.

- Great video resources and troubleshooting resources. Even when problems aren't solved with these (very rare, they cover most bases) customer support is very available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Transition between web browser and desktop app can be a little clunky at times. Some features available in the web browser are not always available in the desktop version (deleting files, forcing check-outs for other users, etc...). Easy enough to work around once you "get" the software and understand how it works (very small learning curve).

- It would be great if descriptions for Design Library parts could be in Solidworks. Figuring out the difference between parts without description usually has us going back and forth between Bild and Solidworks, which sometimes slows us down.

- BOM Management is not available with student licenses in 2.44.0. Otherwise, software is completely the same between professional and student.

- If you as an admin have a part checked out, you cannot delete your part from Bild without checking it in first. Very minor complaint (and I can see why you wouldn't want to delete checked-out parts) but it seems like you should be able to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
