OpenBOM has reduced my working hours. I like that the initial interface seems quite straightforward, and I find the idea of managing BOMs and component information in one place useful, especially for engineering work. I’m still exploring it and would like to learn more about its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m still exploring OpenBOM, so I don’t have a specific issue to point to yet. A step-by-step setup guide, simple tutorials, and practical examples for beginners would help me understand the features and start managing BOMs. I’d also like to learn more about how it works with other tools.

Very easy to use and user-friendly, with really good functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t really dislike it. There are frequent updates, but they seem to improve the app’s functionality overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you can drag assemblies directly from Solidworks into OpenBOM and it lists everything out line by line. it makes the workflow very simple and easy by stream lining the release process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like the price—specifically the new pricing model, which feels limiting for extra-large assemblies that share common parts. Parts end up being double-counted, and that uses up our maximum part count very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that OpenBOM acts as a database. Its similarity to Excel is particularly appealing to me, making it easier to manage inventory and structure bills of materials. Even though the initial setup wasn't entirely straightforward, the tutorials helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think OpenBOM could improve on the QR code system. Right now, I should be able to print a whole sheet for a BOM or catalog, but it's only by item, and it's annoying. Also, the initial setup wasn't relatively simple; it required watching some tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenBOM felt very strong as i wanted something lightweight, flexible and cloud based software without any complexity like other similar softwares.It provides real time collaboration,seamless CAD integration with popular tools like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.Data management is flexible here plus BOM creation is very easy.Some upsides of OpenBOM are Faster setup,Low cost, Accurate and very useful for agile product development.

There are some points that i didn't like about OpenBOM.Like UI/UX seems outdated, There are limited number of features, While using it i faced some integration gaps and syncing issues, Not ideal for complex needs, Occasional bugs, etc.So i can say openBOM works best for lightweight,collaborative BOM management but not for deep enterprise PLM features and very good UI/UX.

That I can update my BOM directly from CAD. I need to update the packages anyway and with just one click I can update the BOM in only a few minutes. The integration for AutoDesk Fusion works perfectly fine.

The interface is also very intuitive.

I never had performance issues.

I can't say anything about pricing since my company pays for it.

I never needed support, but I like that there are a lot of tutorial videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI assistant doesn't work very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about OpenBOM is the versatility it adds to SolidWorks. Being able to manage BOMs in a more flexible, cloud-based environment feels like it has a lot of potential, especially for teams working on collaborative projects such as Formula SAE. I also really appreciate that OpenBOM reached out to support our FSAE team; it shows they’re genuinely interested in helping students and engineering programs.

The biggest downside I’ve run into so far is getting OpenBOM to work reliably in my setup—specifically when running SolidWorks through Parallels. The integration hasn’t been as straightforward as I expected, and troubleshooting compatibility issues has taken more time than I anticipated.

I think clearer documentation and stronger support for non-standard environments, like virtual machines, would make a big difference. Once everything is working, I can see the value, but the initial setup and integration process has definitely been challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that OpenBOM integrates directly with SolidWorks, making revision management and change logging very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the OpenBOM integration is a little confusing. I have to choose categories and what will be uploaded, and figure out how OpenBOM recognizes different properties. The initial setup was moderate because there was a lot I had to decide on rather than having OpenBOM guide me. I’m also trying to find a way to connect it to an IMS.

I like the simplicity and easy use of the OpenBOM interface. Once I start using it, I feel like I'm organizing everything. I also appreciate that it's very well programmed to work with other platforms like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks. The initial setup was fairly easy with some guidance and internet videos.

For now i dont have any dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenBOM goes beyond engineering data to let you manage local inventory quantities and generate purchase orders directly. Also, OpenBOM offers transparent pricing and a lower barrier to entry, making it feasible for startups and small-to-midsize engineering teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
