"A great product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolidWorks PDM?

It is a very good product that and is one of the most user friendly CAD programs on the market. Making a drawing and turning it into a 3D model is extremely simple and very easy to edit once it is created. Very cheap compared to its competitors and a great value.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks PDM?

Though it is a very good product, it clearly is not as powerful as some of its competitors. It has serious limitations that can be a deal breaker for some companies. Stress tests are not as accurate as a more costly software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
