The file management that allows for version control and collaboration. A close second is the cloud processing so I can open large assemblies on any computer including my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support for 2D drawings is limited and laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The impressive feature i found about onshpe is that its cloud based real time collaboration in which multiple peope can work on the same design which is good thing for start ups and group projects where multiple intervention is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the demerit what i felt is like the dependency of internet for working since its a cloud based platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have never experience such a good pre and post sales support in the other products we had used before, like NX from Siemens and Solidworks from Dassault. PTC considered me as a top client since the beginning, making me feel comfortable during onboarding and when we need technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main issues are related to small differences between Onshape and the previous CAD systems I was using. Some are a question of habit, some are addressable changing the way I work. A few features I miss I am sure PTC will implement in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very stable, enables easy collaboration with collegues, has a good learning center and has regular additions of usable features.

The file system and revision control is also great.

Their customer support is also very helpful when we have had needed a workaround for missing features.

We switched from Solidworks and have found it very easy to switch. We have used it daily for about a year with two licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's still a few features missing, such as some symbols used for complete tolerancing according to ISO standards. Their sheet metal features also have some annoying limitations in adding fillets near bends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Onshape is collaboration. Seemlessly working together with your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some very particular use cases that I find SolidWorks or another software does slightly better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating complicated assemblies is a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You don`t need a CAD PC. You can work everywhere with a CAD System!

PDM System is integrated, you don`t need a 2nd programm for that. And it works fine.

Btw. no crashes like other cad programms! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime the Cad Mouse doesn`t work with Firefox.

So we must restart the 3d mouse and then re login to onshape -> after that it works perfectly again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Part Studio makes design easier. Website tutorial are very good for first time users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a former SolidWorks user I miss several shortcuts from it. and sometimes the menus are confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this program daily, and it has changed the game for us in ways I never would have expected.

It's in the browser - everything is a link, making sharing, discussing, collaborating with everyone within your company very natural.

View only access is free, meaning your support team can access your CAD directly, securely, with no extra licenses. This reduces the friction, and also reduces how much docuemntation we need to maintain to fully enable our support to solve issues on their own.

Admin controls are clear, concise, easy to use, and it is built so you can try something, change your mind, and adapt the tool to your company's needs, instead of forcing certain early decisions that lock you into a sub-optimal decision forever (other programs tend to do this a lot). This makes implementation easy.

It's stable - I've never lost more than a second of work history due to power outages, computer issues, or internet issues.

It's hung a few times in the last year (infrequent), but a quick refresh on the browser, and I'm right back to where I was.

Customer support is included, and they don't discern between bugs and issues vs 'how to use' questions. They just want to help, and are extremely responsive.

Pricing is transparent, and there are no hidden 'gotchas.'

Export naming conventions combined with their google drive integrations are extremely powerful, and have enabled a whole suite of low-code automations that have enabled us to effectively automated 90% of the work to translate to an ERP, and the options to build more direct interfaces exist for the long term.

They are constantly releasing new and useful features, and are attentive to feature requests. A concern of mine was once they were acquired by PTC, innovation would slow or stop, but they certainly have shown no signs of slowing down. I've had feature requests get implemented within two weeks (this was definitely an exception, but was impressive none the less).

Overall, it's pretty fast. It's faster than Solidworks for most things, and does well with large assemblies, but will still get bogged down with very large assemblies.

We will have 25 million triangle modesl / 5,000 bodies, and will get some slow down, but it still performs significantly better than Solidworks did for the same size assemblies. Not as fast for huge assemblies as CREO or CATIA, but for the cost, ease of use, implementation, and what we actually use it for, it knocks everything else out of the water.

Large assembly drawings can be a bit slow.

Items are useful, but would be a game changer if they could be edited by spreadsheets. (You can upload items via spreadsheet which is great, but not edit as of when I'm writing this).

Neither of these are deal breakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use any browser, collaborate on the same part/assembly, integration with various online analysis tools, user created tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workflow is occasionally clunky, but otherwise not much to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
