"Smooth Setup and Support, but Transition from AutoCad Is Challenging"
4/5
What do you like best about MicroStation?

The setup process is simple, and the support team is very helpful. Once you get used to the features, they prove to be quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

We switched from AutoCad to Microstations because our client required it. The transition has been challenging; although I realize it's a different platform, the interface is completely different, which makes the adjustment even harder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable CAD software for Complex Technical Projects."
4/5
What do you like best about MicroStation?

MicroStation is very stable when working with large and complex files. It handles references well and is reliable for precision drafting and coordination. Once set up properly, it performs consistently and supports strict drawing standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

The Interface is not very intuitive for new users, and productivity can be slow at the beginning. Many basic actions feel less straightforward than AutoCAD, and training is usually required to work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good CADD Program"
4/5
What do you like best about MicroStation?

MicroStation is a solid CAD program and, in many ways, superior to AutoCAD. Most of the agencies I work with use MicroStation, and I’ve grown to appreciate its efficiency—especially the intuitive keyboard shortcuts that make drafting and design work faster and smoother. The training videos are very helpful too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

The software tends to run slowly sometimes, lacks user-friendly features, and has settings that are sometimes complex and difficult to configure. It even has too many settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
