Operations Coordinator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/9/2022 "I've only used it briefly, but I feel it's an amazing tool!" 5/5 What do you like best about Unreal Engine? Unreal Engine is an amazing development tool, and I love how it has a very visual programming capability, making it easier to learn how to use it even if you don't have a lot of programming skills. I really like that it has a very active community and that's relatively easy to gather information online depending on what you are trying to achieve. I've only used it briefly, but I coordinated multiple projects that used it as the main development tool, particularly VR projects that my team developed. I also like that the tool keeps getting updated from what I saw in the media. It's getting more and more robust, allowing for incredible visuals for games and VR projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Unreal Engine? The only downside I can remember is that it required a robust computer to run it properly, however, I'm guessing that just because we were using it for Virtual Reality projects that alone would require strong hardware. I can't remember any other issues or things that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Unreal Engine solving and how is that benefiting you? The main problem it was solving is software development focused on Virtual Reality applications, particularly with the incorporation of gamification elements. It also solved the problem of not requiring much writing in a programming language, as its visual interface helped to explore the elements more easily. The team I coordinated had previous experience using UnrealEngine, which made it easier to achieve our goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
