OpenBom helped me bring all our product details, Bill's and change tracking into one easy to use playform. It really made managing every data and BOM's effortless. I loved how it connects directly with our CAD and keeps everything up to date in real time and allowed us to collaborate without confusion and mess Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works very well overall. Sometimes large BOMs take a few extra seconds to load, but that's a small trade off for the accuracy and organization it brings to our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On OpenBOM we can manage BOMs, parts, and inventory from anywhere, and collaborate with distributed teams and suppliers in real time and also It eliminates the need for emailing spreadsheets back and forth.

Also, BOMs Acts as a bridge to fill the gap between engineering and procurement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This will create a Navigation between catalogs, BOMs, and part references that can be confusing without training. Also, Some smaller teams feel the pricing tiers can be high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how OpenBOM eliminates chaos in managing bills of materials and spreadsheets, centralizing everything for a single source of truth. I love the seamless CAD integration, which pulls part data straight from the design environment, and the real-time collaboration that speeds up decision-making. The ability to build and reuse part catalogs reduces repetitive work and ensures consistency. I enjoy the cloud accessibility and value how OpenBOM scales with my needs without forcing me into rigid workflows, offering more structure and accuracy than spreadsheets.

The user interface, while functional, can sometimes feel a bit cluttered, especially when managing large BOMs and catalogs. A cleaner, more modern layout could make navigation much easier. Additionally, I would love to see deeper integrations with ERP and purchasing systems out of the box. Right now, it's great for CAD to BOM, but bridging the gap to procurement and manufacturing software could make it even more powerful. Finally, although the documentation is solid, some advanced workflows could use more guided examples or templates to help new users adopt faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loved using it to manage BOMs through development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data management can be a little painful sometimes, but overall better than excel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy to use OpenBOM is. I also appreciate being able to directly upload BOMs from SolidWorks, which makes the process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that OpenBOM does not directly communicate with our MRP, Katana. It would be nice if it did. The initial setup was fairly easy, rated about 3-10 in difficulty, but mainly because it doesn't directly integrate with Katana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and implement for our Solidworks customers. Customer support is great as well the team gets back to you quick and fast. The ease of integration into Solidworks is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a storage component that is embedded into OpenBom so we don't have to connect to Drive or Box. This will make it a complete Saas solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of uploading CAD from Autodesk Fusion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the excess of columns present in the BOMs slows down the search process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really appreciate about OpenBOM is how easy it was to get started. The interface feels familiar—very spreadsheet-like—but with a lot more structure and flexibility. I especially like the real-time collaboration features, which have made it much easier for my team to stay in sync, even when we’re working remotely. The ability to integrate with CAD tools has saved a ton of time and helped us reduce manual errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the core functionality is solid, I’ve found that some of the more advanced features aren’t always intuitive. There was a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, especially when setting up integrations and understanding how to fully customize the data structure. I also ran into a couple of performance issues when working with larger assemblies, which slowed things down a bit. Customer support has been helpful overall, but response times can vary.

It’s well organized, and it helps us get the production file without needing to convert files to PDF or XT. It also produces a great Excel BOM, which makes the workflow much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it doesn’t update correctly, and it ends up creating a big mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We uploaded our existing Exel BOMs into the catalogs and now all the parts we make, components we purchase, and sub-assemblies we make/purchase are all available with current costs to our entire engineering team-remote or on-site. Our 400-500 part, custom industrial machinery BOMs are readily available to duplicate and then customize for the next job and because they are linked to the catalog, current costs are available. Quoting is using the same system now so the materials part of the quote is much more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are still trying to navigate controlling revisions, versions, etc., it seems to be loose. There does not seem to be a function to make your change backwards compatible i.e. if you update a part in a catalog, do you want the new part to be referenced in prior BOMs or just new BOMs...if you rename a part through the Item Info screen, it breaks the prior BOMs using that pre-edit part number...Be careful after updating parts in catalogs or BOMs...there is no "save" function so reloading pages is a good practice but that does not always seem to update...close and reopen helps. Getting a formatted print out without exporting to Excel is not robust. Cost info in Excel exports is not numeric...has to be converted to numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
