Simple, approachable and powerful enough to handle most user needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really specific that I especially dislike. There are a few limitations but I've had a few suggestions about supplier portal, DXF auto generation and maybe another might be a good way of handling multiple users on shared computers with the same vault.

We moved from SolidWorks PDM to Bild and have found it much easier to manage day to day. It requires a lot less administration, and many of the workflows that previously needed custom setup or workarounds are built in.The BOM management and ECO workflows have had the biggest impact for us. Our previous change process relied on spreadsheets and email threads to track revisions and approvals, which occasionally led to revisions being missed or the wrong revision being released. Bild centralizes that process and makes it easier to manage bill of materials, revisions, and change orders in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. Overall, our experience has been good over the past few years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how prompt the team is whenever I have questions, and I also appreciate the product’s simplicity and depth in terms of what it can be used for, saves me a ton of time on a daily cadence. They consistently create great features that feel tailored to my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t come across any downsides to using Bild. For what it provides, I really don’t see any drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bild helps eliminate version-control and document-management issues by keeping project files, revisions, and information organized in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly I don’t have any complaints. The Bild team has been able to help address an issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The browser interface and preview tools in Bild are really helpful to enable indirect users to access PDM files and keep up to speed with the project without needing to have contributor credentials. The app is effective and with some quick setup can make the user keep up to speed and current on revisions with a couple of clicks. Solidworks' collaboration tools allow easy integration of Bild PDM with multi-user environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a third party PDM, it lacks some of the features that you get with native CAD PDM built-in programs. The renaming folders and files could use some improvement, while preserving metadata. Depending on how the team uses the product, users can often get into a situation where 'getting latest' new files will repeatedly pull HUNDREDS of 'desktop.ini' files, which can get cumbersome on large projects with many users. More support documentation or user forums would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Bild is cross-platform, which means it can be accessed via MacOS, Linux (albeit just over the web), and Windows. This feature is particularly beneficial because our mechanical engineers primarily use Windows, while software engineers use Linux or MacOS. It allows us to have a common place for documentation and eliminates the need for everyone to be on the same OS. The initial setup of Bild was pretty easy for our team.

The Windows desktop app can be buggy. Syncing is kind of broken, and ideally, there would be a virtual file system so you could see all the files, not just the ones you have checked out, but that's not part of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Bild as a PDM service for CAD files. I appreciate that it keeps old revisions of files, which allows us to revert if something breaks and experiment with features. It's helpful that Bild ensures only one person works on a file at a time, preventing multiple concurrent versions. The nice GUI that controls local files makes it user-friendly. I also like that new features are being added all the time, making my workflow smoother and removing slowdowns. Compared to older PDM clients where features can be hidden, Bild's features are well-located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Become more integrated with SolidWorks. The plug-in isn't great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quickly things update with Bild compared to previous PDM platforms we've used, it's so much faster. Fast upload and download times make it much easier to do frequent check-ins, so you can have snapshots. The initial setup of Bild was super easy, just adding data and the user interface made it easy to understand what was going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it integrated a bit more into Windows Explorer with virtual files support and into Solidworks so we can check in and get the latest version via the plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BILD offers great PDM capabilities, and working with it has allowed our company to perform work remotely while keeping all of our data organized. It’s easy to use, and the customer support has been excellent. There are multiple updates throughout the year that help improve customer satisfaction. Implementation and onboarding for new users is also a straightforward process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are only available in the web version, but after multiple updates to the desktop version over the last year, this has improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support has been very responsive whenever we’ve reached out. When we needed to add extra files, the team handled it quickly. It was also great to see our feedback reflected in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team was a little slow to incorporate some of the feature ideas, likely due to other priorities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
