Solidworks PDM is used for managing engineering data. It supports multiple software data like autocad, solidworks, etc. It also helps higher management to keep track of the whole project and engineering design cycle.

It is easy to use as well as the learning curve is quite short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is being removed from solidworks and it is a bit hard to setup a new work flow without disturbing the existing one. Finding the root cause of bugs is way too hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most impactful part of this software is the ability of our cross-functional and international engineering team to collaborate in real-time on a large engineering model for a world-class invention. This type of collaboration used to take hours per week in data management and manual updating of the drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When searching for files I have to start at the beginning each time. Once I exit a folder and try to access another folder that folder doesn't show its contents. The folder is empty. I have to start at the beginning of EPDM and then the files will show up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid works PDM is fully integrated to the solid works app which makes very easy the workflow for accessing or saving files, even when you are working on individual parts or big assemblies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid works PDM might be a little bit slow depending on the internet connection and the size of the file that you are trying to store in the vault. It also takes a big amount of processing resources from the PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like solidworks itself the PDM environment is well tailored, The simplified user interface, proper data search and share capabilities, setting up user permissions which is smooth as butter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike as I'm not an advanced user and there are features yes to be learned Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is beneficial for data saving for future uses. We can manage our database from anywhere in the world. PDM is the secure vault. It uses to increase our productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is a significant thing Because the small organization will not afford this.

Some 3d models cannot be repaired.

Limited 2d changes.

Highercose as compared to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly, I like the workflow which helps our engineers to get an instant notification on every stage changes and the document automation helps us lot more automating the manual process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont see any downsides of SW PDM. However, if they incorporate certain features available in Enovia, it would be good for them to scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid works makes the designers life easy and convenient while working on the different design elements. The options that are provided in that are very vast and covers majority of required components Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that could improve solid works is making it parametric and Manufacturing driven software because this would help designers know exactly what could be produced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any user in the platform is aware of the status of the design/project and only one user can work on the file at any given time after checking out. Also, there is a customizable workflow to streamline the process of the project or job. Version and revision control facility easy to trace back, if there will be a reported issue or defect of the design or product. In addition, engineering data reuse can be enhanced highly using an inbuilt advanced servicing facility in the system. The inbuilt notification system can be integrated with the mail server and users can get notifications into their mailbox when they are not logging into the system.

If this use in several geographical locations connects through the VPN, secondary location users are facing slowness in checking out files into their workstation. Also, installation in the web server is more difficult than client-server installation. The available facility to generate reports is not user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very Good software for design & development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some improvements should be there in tool bar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user friendly,Powerful search capability lets you easily find files—fast. Version control ensures you always have access to the most up-to-date files.

Thanks Dassault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Little bit expensive for small scale organisation, there's no other dislike for this product.
