The browser interface and preview tools in Bild are really helpful to enable indirect users to access PDM files and keep up to speed with the project without needing to have contributor credentials. The app is effective and with some quick setup can make the user keep up to speed and current on revisions with a couple of clicks. Solidworks' collaboration tools allow easy integration of Bild PDM with multi-user environments.

I like that Bild is cross-platform, which means it can be accessed via MacOS, Linux (albeit just over the web), and Windows. This feature is particularly beneficial because our mechanical engineers primarily use Windows, while software engineers use Linux or MacOS. It allows us to have a common place for documentation and eliminates the need for everyone to be on the same OS. The initial setup of Bild was pretty easy for our team.

I like that Bild keeps track of part version history, which is really helpful for managing CAD versions.
